Brewers

The Brewers came back to American Family Field for the home opening series of 2022, taking on the rival St. Louis Cardinals.  The entire rotation looks to get on track after a rough go-around the first time through, and the offense is looking to find a rhythm as the squad comes into the series with a record of 3-3.  

WIth the resumption of annual proceedings between the Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers this week at Target Field, a look at the nature of the fan, the triviality of modern rivalry and how allegiance to laundry helps us miss the forest for the trees.

News broke on Thursday morning that Brewers president of baseball operations, David Stearns, is stepping down from that role and will become an advisor to ownership and the baseball operations group. Matt Arnold, who has been GM since 2020, will now be overseeing the baseball operations department. 

This is where things start to get really interesting, with a gluttony of good players drafted in Round 11 to Round 15, most of whom signed, leaving only a couple of notable unsigned players drafted by the Brewers in these rounds. 

As David Stearns steps down as Milwaukee Brewers' President of Baseball Operations, it's time to look at his tenure since he took over as GM prior to the 2016 season.

Baseball fans and experts look to correlate "the numbers" to team success more than in any other sport. The statistical analysis over an entire season will often net expected results. However, those wins and losses don't always fall in line over shorter periods. This season, the Milwaukee Brewers' first ten games have the feel of something not adding up – and it could be a good thing in the long run.

On Thursday, MLB announced the 2022 Silver Slugger Award finalists. Three Milwaukee Brewers find themselves as finalists. They are infielders Willy Adames and Kolten Wong as well as outfielder Hunter Renfroe. 

To suggest Christian Yelich is a polarizing figure within Brewers fandom is an understatement. He posted two consecutive MVP-level seasons immediately followed by two disappointing seasons, with 2021 being even worse than his already disappointing 2020 campaign. Early in the 2022 season, we see a mix of those two Yelichs. Which will be the real Christian Yelich in 2022?

The latest mock featured here is a dual mock draft done by Jamie Cameron from TwinsDaily, and me. We alternated back and forth on the Top 30 selections of this upcoming weekend's draft.

What might have been? In July of 1992, Cal Eldred arrived in Milwaukee and proceeded to put up numbers that Cy Young would have admired. The Brewers and their fans thought they had the makings of an ace. But it was not to be.

The AL Central leading Minnesota Twins host the Brewers for a two-game set, and offer some star power, a trade deadline chit, and a combustible bullpen. Let’s cover the bases.

The Brewers have boasted one of most dominant duos of starting pitchers in baseball for the last several years. Are those days coming to an end?
