Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers Best Rookie and Most Improved, as voted by Brewer Fanatic staff, have been revealed. We find our way once again on the mound where Corbin Burnes follows up his 2021 Cy Young Award-winning season with the 2022 Brewer Fanatic Pitcher of the Year Award. I'm sure it's just as meaningful to the 27-year-old. 

On Monday the Orioles did something they hadn't done in 32 years. When is the last time the Brewers did it?

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.

On Easter Sunday, April 19, 1987, the Brewers were riding a season-opening 11-game win streak. The day was hot - 80 degrees - and County Stadium was packed. But the Brewers fell behind the Rangers and entered the 9th trailing 4-1. Glenn Braggs walked, and Greg Brock followed with a single. With one out, slugging outfielder Rob Deer stepped up to the plate.

As David Stearns steps down as Milwaukee Brewers' President of Baseball Operations, it's time to look at his tenure since he took over as GM prior to the 2016 season.

The Brewers have boasted one of most dominant duos of starting pitchers in baseball for the last several years. Are those days coming to an end?

A quiet week in the draft world is not the worst thing. In fact, any draft noise in late April is usually injury-related. So we’ll take a week without big news as a good sign. There were, though, still three draft-related articles that I want to draw your attention to.

Finding a productive, long-term option at third base is essential for the Milwaukee Brewers to create consistent offensive success. The free agent market and trade block lacks tried-and-true bats at the hot corner, meaning GM Matt Arnold likely needs to take a chance via trade for a young, unproven third baseman.

The Brewers could be looking to fill out their catching depth as Omar Narvaez hits free agency. The Atlanta Braves could prove to be a team that could help them fill that need in a trade. 

May 2 is fast approaching, with it coming roster decisions for the front office and manager, Craig Counsell. Due to the shortened Spring Training, the MLB Players Association and the owners group agreed to expand rosters to 28 through May 1, then to drop to the originally planned 26-man roster on May 2. Adding to the fun, Luis Urías is set to come back from the IL around the same timeframe.

Cy Young Corbin Burnes and workhorse Brandon Woodruff are the Milwaukee Brewers' pocket aces. Freddy Peralta has the stuff to be the third man in line, and Adrian Houser is often underrated; Eric Lauer has made a case that he should be the final arm in a "Big Three."

It’s a question that the universe has pondered, but this piece isn’t about Billy Jo Robidoux per se. Instead, it involves reminiscing about a simpler time. Once again, let’s take a spin in the DeLorean.
