Brewers

Who is the most successful pitcher in Brewer history? Sheets? Gallardo? Bosio? Caldwell? Nope. The answer is Teddy Higuera. The amazing thing is that Higuera was plunked out of the Mexican league at age 25 - and still had an astounding run from 1986-88 where averaged 7.7 bWAR a year. That run solidified Higuera as the most productive pitcher in franchise history.

With Aaron Ashby landing on the IR and Woodruff still a little ways out, the Brewers only have four  starting pitchers on the roster. Chi Chi Gonzalez will likely make that five on Tuesday.

Prior to today’s action the Milwaukee Brewers announced Josh Hader has been reinstated from the restricted list while pitcher Aaron Ashby has been placed on the injured list. The great reliever returns, but Milwaukee loses another good rotation arm.

The Milwaukee Brewers are drawing closer to the return of pitcher Trevor Gott and infielder Mike Brosseau. Both are set to start rehab assignments with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Tuesday.

It's late June and there is a tie at the top of the division. Each game between these two teams is crucial and now, we have four in a row at home. Let's get to it.

Having won just three of their past fifteen games, the Brewers rode into Cincinnati needing a big boost in momentum. Dropping as much as 2 1/2 games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central, the Crew looks to make up some ground in the two-team race for the division crown. 

Hunter Renfroe struck out five times and walked once over 13 at-bats this weekend, but made a big bang regardless with three long dongs.

Until all the tough conversations are had and we genuinely bridge and reconcile racial divides in this country, Juneteenth will only be salt in the wound. The game that gave us Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby and Henry Aaron can and should lead the way.

Veteran outfielder Lorenzo Cain reached 10 years of service time while with the Milwaukee Brewers today, and despite that being a substantial milestone, it was met with him being designated for assignment. Outfielder Jonathan Davis had his contract selected from Triple-A Nashville.

With Father’s Day upon us, I thought I’d get a little personal. This is a story of growing up without a father, how my love of baseball began, and how my father not being around was his loss, not mine. 

The Milwaukee Brewers made a couple of procedural moves prior to action on Friday night. Former 5th overall pick from the 2016 draft, Corey Ray, was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville. Pitcher Jandel Gustave and catcher Pedro Severino also began rehab assignments with the Sounds.
