Fans and experts often struggle to remember that MLB players are human beings and not numbers on a screen or little men inside their TV. The 2022 Milwaukee Brewers have displayed this in several ways, showing that physical traits and stats are only part of the equation.

Suddenly, in the span of a week, the Brewers have fallen out of the division lead. Prior to the recent cluster of losses, the Crew had an odd string of events at the trade deadline. Fans were quick to blame the front office and ownership, but I’m here to tell you there's other reasons for the slide.

The big-league day off allowed Brewer fans to catch their collective freefall breaths. It being a Monday, there were only rookie level games to follow, but we're here to provide those details for you.

The Brewers enter this brief two-game series out of the playoff pictures, looking up at the Cardinals. Will the urgency baked into this series refocus a team that looks decidedly lost? 

Hoby Milner's breakout year has been accompanied by major changes in his pitch selection and how he attacks hitters. He's also made at least one big adjustment on the mound.

After outrighting Pedro Severino to Triple-A late last week, the Milwaukee Brewers followed up with a handful of transactions over the weekend. Starting pitcher Adrian Houser began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, while Jason Alexander was recalled to the big leagues. Jake McGee was designated for assignment, and J.C. Mejia was removed from the restricted list.

Nashville scored five runs in the 8th inning to take the lead and win their series. Biloxi held on to grab a fifth win in six games. Wisconsin couldn’t quite pull off a comeback. Carolina had seven extra-base hits in their series-clinching win.

We hear 'It's a business' a lot when teams make moves or players move on. When the normal rules of business don't apply -- and they certainly don't apply to professional sports franchises like, say, oh, I don't know, the Milwaukee Brewers -- is it, though?

We are not used to what we witnessed in a Nashville game Saturday evening, but we'll dust that off and enjoy the victories elsewhere in the chain. As usual, there was news on a number of fronts throughout the system beyond the box scores. Let's begin our daily journey in another effort to distract you from big-league woes.

The Milwaukee Brewers made a couple of curious moves at the trade deadline. In acquiring Taylor Rogers for Josh Hader, they also netted themselves former starter Dinelson Lamet. He didn’t last in the organization more than 24 hours. Pedro Severino saw a different fate following his DFA.

Nashville and Biloxi each played 7-2 games on Friday night, but it was only the Shuckers on top. Wisconsin rode solid pitching efforts to a nice win, while Carolina's battle back fell just short. Plenty of transaction news, and as we like to do, we honor the pro ball dreams of those who were released with brief notations beyond just the raw name on the transaction wire.

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

Excellent Sounds’ pitching limited Norfolk to three hits in their win. The Shuckers and Timber Rattlers fell behind by wide margins and couldn’t complete their comebacks. Mudcat pitchers struck out 17 Cannon Ballers in their win.

Hoby Milner has been performing at an All-Star caliber level this year, having a breakout year in the Brewers Bullpen. Yesterday we found that he's suddenly become effective versus right-handed hitters, and we saw that his pitch selection had completely changed. Today we'll dive into why his new mix of pitches is working so well. 

A sweep at the hands of the Pirates and another sweep by the Cardinals over the Cubs find the Brewers suddenly in second in their division. Can the Brewers breeze through the Reds to regain their spot at the top, or does the last series portend grim things to come in Milwaukee?

The Milwaukee Brewers announced today that they have placed catcher Omar Narvaez on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain. Mario Feliciano was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take his place.

Prior to yesterday’s action the Milwaukee Brewers made seven different roster moves. Shuffling players following their trade deadline activity, activations, releases, and options were all a part of the day’s work. Most notably, Freddy Peralta was activated from the 60-day injured list.

My head is on a swivel tracking all the movement in the Brewers organization post-trade deadline. My hat indeed goes off to all the managers in and throughout the system as they amend their line-up cards. Considering the changes happening (and recently accelerating) on a weekly basis - it's truly a sight to behold.

OF Esteury Ruiz began his much-anticipated career within the Brewers organization batting second behind red hot and rising superstar prospect, OF Sal Frelick. Biloxi played a seven-inning double-header picking up yesterday's suspended game, Wisconsin looked to make it two straight in Quad Cities, and Carolina looked to even their season series versus Kannapolis. Let's get into the reports!
