Oof.  A tough start for the Brewers only got worse in game one of a three-game series in Chicago. Brett Anderson Struggled right away, allowing three of the first four Cubs batters to reach base. Brett Anderson then left the game after just one out with obvious discomfort in his knee. Josh Lindblom came in in relief of Anderson and that’s when the flood gates opened. The Cubs quickly attacked Lindblom with 9 hits with 8 earned runs over 3 2/3 innings including 3 home runs from Rizzo, Baez, and Marisnick. The only spark in the Brewers offense came off…

They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder. Never has such a cliché been more true. It’s strange. In 2020, I was still able to watch the Brewers. Was still able to have a beer. I was also able to grill out and have a brat or two. But there’s just absolutely nothing like tailgating outside the ball park before a game. An experience I’m longing to return to in 2021. The second the car is guided into it’s spot and parked, it’s as if a challenge on Survivor has started. Everyone floods out of the car as the trunk,…

Tears welled in Wong’s eyes as the first pitch was called a ball. He used his road gray Brewers’ uniform to wipe them away. The emotion…

Days after trading Orlando Arcia to the Braves, the Brewers quickly add depth to their infield. Sources have told The Athletic that the Brewers have come to a minor-league contract agreement with speedster, Dee Strange-Gordon. The former Seattle Mariner came into the bigs with the LA Dodgers in 2011, had a three year stint with the Marlins, and boasts a career batting average of .286 and ridiculous speed on the base paths. Along with his incredible speed, Strange-Gordon is known for hitting one of the most emotional home runs in baseball history. After the passing of friend and teammate, Jose…

Adrian Houser made his first start of the 2021 season in a rubber match against Michael Pineda. Houser pitched five innings, allowing two earned runs and giving up four hits while striking out four. The Brewers still continued to struggle at the plate and couldn’t provide enough offense to overcome less than stellar performances from Drew Rasmussen and Josh Lindblom. Houser Solid Early Houser’s first game started off a little stressful. He gave up three hits in the first inning but produced just one run for the visiting Twins. Houser was able to get out of the jam with minimal…

2020 was a season of woes for the Brewers. A year lacking in runs was joined by a less than stellar performance at the second base position. Keston Hiura came into the league with a reputation of being an above average hitter with below average defensive skills. Hiura exceeded expectations in his 2019 rookie year by sporting a .303 batting average, 19 homers, and a .938 OPS. However, Keston’s sophomore year didn’t go quite as well. While leading the Crew with 13 home runs, he also lead the NL with 85 strike outs in 59 games while batting .212. The…
