The Milwaukee Brewers underwent some major changes this off-season.  Pat Murphy was promoted from bench coach to manager, Rickie Weeks was hired and given an important title of associate manager, and they made a splash in free agency by bringing in Rhys Hoskins.  All of these moves may have facilitated a shift in the personality of the Brew Crew and others are starting to take notice. On two occasions the Milwaukee Brewers have been involved in benching clearing incidents. With just a few weeks of regular season baseball under our belt the Milwaukee Brewers have been involved in two benches…

Milwaukee Brewers rookie and top prospect Jackson Chourio has started his big league career off strong.  The 20 year old has hits in 11 out of his first 13 games which does include three home runs.  His latest performance against the San Diego Padres was a 2-4 night with a walk, one stolen base, and a two run homer. Jackson Chourio joins two others in the history books as the youngest players with three home runs in their first 13 games. After Chourio’s third home run of the season Sarah Langs reported that just two other players have had three…

The Milwaukee Brewers are being an active team in the waiver wire early on this season.  Previously they added Vladimir Gutierrrez via a successful waiver claim.  Now they have added another pitcher through the same manor. Milwaukee Brewers claim a former second round draft pick off waivers.   The newest member of the Brewers is right-hander Corbin Martin.  He was a second round draft pick in 2017 by the Houston Astros and was involved in a blockbuster trade in 2019 involving Zack Greinke.  The former Texas A&M product generated some top 100 prospect buzz upon being drafted but after a few…

The Milwaukee Brewers and Baltimore Orioles each had a few big story lines heading into Sunday’s series finale at Camden Yards.  Both sides had impressive team streaks on the line, Corbin Burnes was facing his former team for the first time since being traded, and the number one prospect in baseball was searching for his first career big league hit. The Baltimore Orioles kept an impressive team streak intact while ending one of the Milwaukee Brewers.   A 6-4 Orioles victory on Sunday prevented them from being swept.  By avoiding the sweep Baltimore now has not been swept in 96 consecutive…

The Milwaukee Brewers organization seemingly cannot catch a break on the injury front.  Their big league club is dealing with a plethora of injuries and some key prospects in the minor leagues have also been affected.  This week alone three top 10 prospects have brutally been lost due to injury. Jeferson Quero underwent shoulder surgery and will not return for the 2024 season. After injuring his shoulder on Opening Day of the Triple-A season Jeferson Quero underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum.  The Brewers have announced that he will not return for the 2024 season.  He is their third…

The Milwaukee Brewers are off to a 10-3 start to begin the 2024 season.  One big reason for their early season success has been because of the production they are getting offensively.  Their hitters have been relentless and as a result they have tied a franchise record last accomplished in 1989. Over the last six games the Milwaukee Brewers have scored at least seven runs. Leading into Sunday’s finale against the Baltimore Orioles the Brewers have scored at least seven runs in six consecutive games.  Their streak started on Sunday, April 7 against the Seattle Mariners when they scored 12…

The Milwaukee Brewers ruined Baltimore Orioles fans Friday night by defeating them 11-1 during Jackson Holliday’s home debut.  Holliday not only went 0-3 with three strikeouts, but the score was 3-0 Milwaukee by the second inning, 7-1 in the fifth inning, and then 10-1 in the sixth inning.  Camden Yards faithful certainly didn’t have a lot to cheer about but they did get to see a dispute between catcher James McCann and shortstop Willy Adames. Benches cleared after Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames and Baltimore Orioles catcher James McCann had a heated exchange.   With the score 9-1 in the sixth…

The Milwaukee Brewers made the inevitable decision to trade Corbin Burnes this off-season.  GM Matt Arnold sent him to the Baltimore Orioles and received pitcher DL Hall, infielder Joey Ortiz, and the 33rd overall pick in the 2024 MLB draft back in return.  Fast forward two months and Burnes is now scheduled to pitch against his former team. Corbin Burnes is Sunday’s probable pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers and Baltimore Orioles series finale. With lots of attention on the Jackson Chourio versus Jackson Holliday match up one key part of this series that is initially sliding under the radar is…

The Milwaukee Brewers recently lost a pair of top prospects due to injury.  Earlier this season Jeferson Quero, their third ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline, suffered a shoulder subluxation while diving back to first base and surgery will be needed as a result.  More recently they lost their seventh ranked prospect after he was beaned in the head. Milwaukee Brewers prospect Brock Wilken was beaned in the head during an at-bat.   On Thursday, April 11 Brock Wilken was involved in a scary incident.  A 94 MPH fastball rode up and hit him in the head.  His ear flap shattered as…

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman and designated hitter Jake Bauers was acquired from the New York Yankees via trade this off-season.  His ability to provide power and be a home run threat is one major reason why he was brought in.  So far he has gotten off to a slow start offensively, but he has been flashing the leather at first base. Jake Bauers has played great defensively for the Milwaukee Brewers.  11 games into the 2024 season there is not much objective data to back up Bauer’s great playing at first base, but the eye test does tell you that…
