Brewers

Father Time appears to be taking its toll on Milwaukee Brewers' center fielder Lorenzo Cain. The 36-year-old veteran looks like a shell of his former self at the plate, and the club may have to make a difficult decision soon.

The Crew looked to avenge last year’s playoff loss to the Braves with a three game set at American Family Field.

As we creep ever-so-slowly forward to the annual baseball draft, there are a few storylines that have taken a front seat. We finally have an answer to one of the draft’s biggest questions, and we also have a mock draft that sends a prep pitcher to the Brewers. We’ll cover that and more in this week’s update.

You read the title right. I’m writing about the current Brewers. There’s no Jaha, no Robidoux, no Riles. Instead, let’s talk about Keston Hiura and his return to the majors.

If you ask, who wore a Milwaukee Brewer uniform the longest? The answer is likely Bill Castro, who spent seven seasons with the club as a player, and 18 more as a coach.

Willy Adames has been sent to the 10-day Injured List for a high-ankle sprain he received on May 15th against the Marlins.

Brandon Woodruff owns a 6.16 ERA and has allowed a .925 OPS to hitters over his last four starts. It might be fair to wonder if it's time to worry about the Milwaukee Brewers' right-hander. Then again, maybe not.

For the second time already this season, a Milwaukee Brewers player has been suspended for 80 games following a positive PED test. JC Mejia will miss the nearly three months of games and be ineligible to compete in the 2022 playoffs. 

It’s time for an investigation. It’s time for answers. For years, the world has wondered. It’s been debated at family gatherings. It’s caused family members to take sides. I’m here to provide answers to this question that’s been plaguing society. How do you spell Ernest Riles’ first name? 

The Brewers conclude a three city road-trip with a three game set in Miami against the Marlins. After dropping two of three in both Atlanta and Cincinnati, the Crew look to rebound here and head home on a positive note. The Brewers kick off the series still holding a 3.5 game lead on the division rival Cardinals.

Injuries. They’re always part of the pre-draft process. But this year feels different. It’s been big names. It’s been a lot of names. And they seem to be happening quite frequently. 

Although the Milwaukee Brewers rank fifth in runs scored (4.77 runs per game) after Monday, offensive concerns remain. They have crushed bad teams and struggled against better pitching. Is the key factor how infrequently they swing the bat?
