Brewers

Before Prince Fielder, there was Lyle Overbay: a first baseman that would help shape the Brewers organization for years to come.

You gotta love it when perseverance pays off. We've all heard the stories - the ones about a player spending 10+ years bumming around the minors - crappy pay, crappy hotels, crappy bus rides - all for the chance to reach the Show. Former Brewer reliever Mark DiFelice is one of those stories - albeit with a rather abrupt ending.

In a Must Win game, the Brewers and Marlins fought hard. In fact, they needed a little overtime to determine the winner. From about the seventh inning forward, every inning was immensely intense. 

Over the past seven to ten games, every Brewers win has been big. Every Brewers loss has been excruciating. Saturday night's 4-3 loss to the Marlins was especially rough. 

We're transitioning quickly from mock draft season to actual draft season. WIth only a few days left, we'll be seeing plenty of "final" mock drafts around the internet.

The Milwaukee Brewers raised their team OPS from .599 to .724 in a mere nine contests. It has been a remarkable run of power that the metrics saw coming, culminating in an 18-run outburst Wednesday and another 10-spot Thursday in a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds.

New York isn't done with Milwaukee yet. The Bronx moves out taking Judge and LeMaheiu with them. Queens moves in with Mad Max, Alonso and Lindor to boot. How will the Crew fair against the other team from the other league and other borough? 

Yesterday the Milwaukee Brewers sent infielder Mike Brosseau out on a rehab assignment to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. He has been on the injured list since late August and is looking to get back to the big leagues.

The Milwaukee Brewers were busy this afternoon with a host of moves impacting the active roster. Just a day after catcher Alex Hall was promoted to replace Omar Narvaez on the roster, he was designated for assignment. That was just one of six pre-game transactions today.

When Mike Hegan’s contract was sold to the expansion Seattle Pilots, little did he realize that it would lead to a relationship with the organization that would last 19 years - including two stints as a player, and then a 12-year run as an announcer.

Three and a half weeks out from Opening Day, we’re ready to start previewing the Brewers for 2023 on an in-depth, position-by-position basis. That begins today, with the high floor and exciting upside of the team’s catching corps.

In the second installment of our position-by-position preview of the 2023 Brewers, we migrate from behind the plate to first base. Led by the third straight successful veteran reclamation project at that position, Milwaukee appears set to enjoy solidly average or better production again this year.
