Brewers

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. 

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. 

The Brewers took on the Pirates in another critical three game series starting Monday. Despite a series win over the rival Cubs in the weekend set, a disappointing loss in Friday night's tilt left the Brewers still chasing the Padres for the final wild card spot, down a game and a half after the weekend. 

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.

The Brewers feature some of the best professional baseball players in the world. They've spent seasons perfecting their craft in front of fans eyes, but sometimes baseball involves luck as much as it does skill. So what do the numbers say about the Brewers luck this season?

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.

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.

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.

In 1976, 23-year old Bill Travers broke out with the Brewers with a 2.81 ERA over 240 innings (including 15 complete games) and an All-Star Game appearance. It made Travers one of the first successful home grown pitchers for the young Brewers organization.

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.
