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.

Milwaukee Brewers’ pitchers have gotten off to a rough beginning in 2022. With the caveat of it being just five games, heading into Wednesday’s action, Milwaukee’s staff ranked 10th in the NL in ERA (4.80). Above all, the free pass has been the most significant contributor to the staff’s slow start.

If the Brewers want their offense to be more consistent, there is an obvious trade deadline need beyond that of a better centerfielder.

On May 16, 2004, Ben Sheets threw one of the greatest games in Milwaukee Brewers history. The righthander struck out 18 batters - still a Milwaukee record - on the way to a 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. It was a window into Sheets' electrifying ability. Sadly, Sheets' career would be derailed by injuries and bad teams - otherwise he may have ended up as the best pitcher in franchise history

During the offseason, evaluating MLB front offices can feel as speculative and as volatile as playing the stock market. After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017, the Milwaukee Brewers entered this winter looking for a rally.

Eric Lauer, the breakout starting pitcher of 2022 for the Milwaukee Brewers, has very strange platoon splits. Let’s talk about why, and what those splits can do to inform our 2023 projections for Lauer.

With the report date for pitchers and catchers less than a week away, it's time to turn our attention from offseason matters toward the 2023 Milwaukee Brewers season. In doing so, we have to answer one question first: What does this team need to do to call this year a success?

We know the Milwaukee Brewers welcomed two new players via trade in Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro. What can we expect from them as they put on a Brewers uniform?

The 2022 MLB All Star game had several players mic’d including Yankee teammates and battery mates Nestor Cortes and Jose Trevino. That got me thinking. What if Juan Nieves and Bill Schroeder were mic’d up during Nieves’ no-hitter back in 1987?

One of the biggest heartbreakers for Brewers fans came on December 7, 1992, when Paul Molitor signed with the Toronto Blue Jays as a free agent. What if that didn't happen?

You read that right. Let me be perfectly clear, I’m not here to bring you down. It’s quite the opposite, actually. I’m here to tell you it may not be so bad.
