Brewers

Gorman Thomas. He was scruffy and disheveled. He looked like he had had a few too many beers and eaten a few too many cheeseburgers. On any given night you could count on him running into a wall, striking out, or hitting a home run. It was the glory years of Brewer baseball, and Thomas became one of the most beloved players in franchise history.

Hello there. It’s been a while. I’m back with another trip back in time, so let’s hop into the DeLorean and go back to Spring Training circa 1989/1990, and one child’s encounter with Teddy Higuera.

Just a day after being claimed on waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers, Chi Chi Gonzalez has been added to the active roster. All-Star closer Josh Hader has been placed on the Paternity List to make room.

Baseball is a game of round numbers and milestones. Somehow, some way, 39 feels so much closer to Opening Day than 40. Brewers By the (Jersey) Numbers has reached the 30s, as one month away is suddenly appearing over the crest of the hill ahead.

Hoby Milner is on a tear. The 31-year-old relief pitcher has been turning heads as one of the most reliable arms in the Brewers’ bullpen this season. Will it continue?

Now that both the draft and the trade deadline have come and gone, MLB.com has updated their rankings of all 30 teams' Minor League systems, their Top 100 overall prospects, as well as each team’s Top 30 prospects. Let’s take a closer look at what the unbiased experts have to say about the state of the Brewers farm system. 

Can the Brewers find their footing against Christian Yelich's biggest punching bag? Here's hoping!

Managers are a big part of a team's success. Since the Brewers would miss the postseason if it ended today, it is fair to question whether the Brewers Manager Craig Counsell has fallen short during the 2022 season. One old-school sabermetric stat suggests that, overall, he continues to squeeze extra wins out of his teams. 

This week at Brewer Fanatic, we’re going to preview some of the key battles for positions and roster spots that will unfold during spring training. Today’s subject is the fifth rotation spot, a battle that just gained greater clarity in the worst possible way.

Spring training is a great time to evaluate and consider not only the coming season, but the medium- and long-term future of a franchise. Today, let’s make a circuit of the Brewers’ infield, thinking about their organizational depth at each position.

While the Milwaukee Brewers' offense has flaws and can frustrate the fans on any given night, the pitching has been the bigger problem. More specifically, the group of men expected to dominate opponents this year has come up short.

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.
