Brewers

We're in the time of year where the Brewers have been known to throw every bullpen option against the wall and see if anything sticks. One candidate they could consider is an old friend.

The Milwaukee Brewers are committed are committed to launching fastballs, come hell or high water. Other teams know this. The Brewers don't seem to know that other teams know this. This is a problem.

Among the many issues that plagued the Milwaukee Brewers in 2022, their propensity to give up home runs has been the most impactful - including Freddy Peralta allowing a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning Thursday night. It's been a season-long problem and one that has torpedoed their playoff odds the last month, especially.

Before Prince Fielder, there was Lyle Overbay: a first baseman that would help shape the Brewers organization for years to come.

In 1973, the Milwaukee Brewers had their first 20 game winner. Can you name him? Not many people can as the club struggled to win a lot of games in the early years of the franchise. The answer - in case you are wondering - is right hander Jim Colborn.

With the implementation of the universal designated hitter, and the mid-season departure of Lorenzo Cain, the Brewers have a gap open in the outfield. The Brewers will have plenty of options on the trade market, but what realistically makes the most sense?

Two Cy Young candidates met on Friday night in Milwaukee, and the guy with a Cy Young Award already was just a little better to help the Brewers to a big win to help them keep pace with the Phillies in the Wild Card race. 

The Brewers split the series against the Pirates, and now the trade deadline is approaching. With the Cubs going nowhere, this may be the last time the Brewers see their rivals in Cubs colors, setting up an impactful and uncharacteristically sentimental series.

Over the past seven to ten games, every Brewers win has been big. Every Brewers loss has been excruciating. Saturday night's 4-3 loss to the Marlins was especially rough. 

The 2022 MLB Amateur Draft is just on the horizon, beginning on July 17th. Looking back at the late round gems of past Brewer drafts, one current Brewer stands out. So do a couple of unsigned draftees.

Before returning home for the 4th of July, the Brewers play four in the Steel City. The Brewers come into the series 6-0 on the season against the Bucs. Red hot Rowdy Tellez has a pair of multi-homerun games in the last week, and looks to add onto his total. 

The Brewers found a gem in the 22nd round that helped the team when he was on it, and also helped the team when he was traded. But they also were unable to sign some players who ended up on rival teams.
