If the first ten games of the season didn’t resemble a flaming trainwreck, the conversation going into tonight’s affair would be centered around everybody going gaga over the sensational pitching match up, and for good reason. Not only do we have Garrett Crochet taking on Jacob Misiorowski, but we’ve got a cold night at Fenway […]
The Brewers and Red Sox kicked off their three-game series last night with a hectic back-and-forth game. The Brewers took the first game 8-6, but not without some extra drama. That will likely carry over into tonight as the two teams play their second game, with the Brewers going for the series win. Both teams […]
Monday night’s game between the Brewers and Red Sox got chippy out of nowhere. With two runners on and no outs, Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras stepped to the plate against veteran starter Brandon Woodruff. Woodruff’s first pitch was a high-and-tight sinker just a couple of inches inside. Contreras, known for crowding the strike […]

Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers took down the Boston Red Sox in a chaotic, long, cold game by an 8-6 final on Monday night. The Crew looked like they’d get things going early, as William Contreras singled and Christian Yelich doubled off the Green Monster to put runners at second and third with one out. […]
Sheesh, that was a game. The Sox stormed out to a 3-0 lead: one run in the second two in the third, all manufactured. Then Brayan Bello’s wildness caught up with him, and he exited with a bases-loaded situation and the Sox up 3-1. Danny Coloumbe came on and then it was 4-3, Brewers. In […]
The Red Sox stink so far, and as the Brewers come to town, they’re messing around with their lineup on Brayan Bello day against Brandon Woodruff tonight at 6:45: Jarren Duran hits the bench against a righty after a tuff start to the season for everyone involved, as Alex Cora hopes to get things rolling […]
After losing 2 of 3 against the Brewers, the Royals now take a short road trip to Cleveland early this week before returning home to face the White Sox later this week. The weather will be pretty cold in Cleveland for this series, so they’ve already moved tomorrow’s game up in time to be during […]
Last season, it was all about Pat Murphy’s Pocket Pancakes and other pocket snacks. Now, he’s getting away from snacks and moving to… pocket turtles? Well, technically a pocket tortoise, but pocket turtle has a better ring to it. While Milwaukee’s Friday night game in Kansas City was rained out and rescheduled to a doubleheader […]
The Brewers are headed east to begin the week and wrap up the road trip, as they’ll face their fourth consecutive interleague opponent in the Boston Red Sox. Boston has had a rough go of it early, as they’re sitting at just 2-7 this season, putting them at the bottom of a deep AL East. […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have placed left-handed pitcher Jared Koenig on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow sprain, recalling fellow lefty Shane Drohan from Triple-A Nashville to replace him on the 26-man roster. Koenig, 32, is in his third season in Milwaukee as he’s developed into a valuable back-of-the-bullpen piece during his Brewer tenure. […]
Ok. The Red Sox are now 2-7 on the season after three series. They were meh against the Reds. Then bad against the Astros. And actually played the Padres pretty hard, more or less, but came away 1-2. The absence of Garrett Whitlock — who, to be clear, 100% should be allowed the time off […]
Welcome to week 2 of our 2026 NL Central Power Rankings — let’s rank some teams! 1. Milwaukee Brewers (7-2); 4-2 this week; 57.2% chance to make postseason (FanGraphs) The Brewers stayed hot with two more series wins against interleague opponents this week, taking two of three from both the Rays and Royals to improve […]
Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week Kyle Harrison got off to a great start in a Brewer uniform. Over two starts against the Rays and Royals, Harrison spanned 10 1/3 innings, allowing three runs and striking out a team-high 14 batters. Top Hitting Performance of the Week There […]
The Milwaukee Brewers, coming off their third consecutive series win to begin the season and now sitting at 7-2 on the year, are headed to Boston to take on the Red Sox this week. The Brewers and Red Sox are probably most tied together at this point thanks to a pair of trades in the […]
Box Score Kansas City made today’s game interesting a couple of times, but Milwaukee held on for the win. Kyle Harrison turned in another impressive performance and got plenty of run support, propelling the Brewers to their third straight series victory to begin the season. Royals starter Kris Bubic retired Brice Turang and Luis Rengifo […]
The Royals fell behind early and made a couple of pushes to cut the deficit to one run, but couldn’t overcome three and four run deficits, as they dropped the rubber match 8-5 to the Brewers. Kris Bubic got two quick outs to start the game, but a four-pitch walk to William Contreras set the […]
Happy Easter to all who celebrate! The Kansas City Royals have a chance to take the series this afternoon against a really good Brewers ballclub. Early offense propelled the Brewers to a 5-2 win yesterday in game one of the doubleheader, while a big 6th inning led the Royals to an 8-2 victory in the […]
Milwaukee looks to pick up its third straight series win after splitting yesterday’s doubleheader with the Kansas City Royals. On the mound is offseason acquisition Kyle Harrison, who impressed in his first start against the Tampa Bay Rays — tossing five innings with eight strikeouts while allowing just one earned run. Harrison faces a stiffer test today against […]
Box Score The Brewers and Royals played a game with a lot of baserunners but not a lot of action tonight, except for one big inning. The Royals busted the game open with a five-run, two-out rally in the sixth, an inning full of sloppiness on Milwaukee’s part, a Royals inning that felt almost Brewers-y. […]
Let’s play two! After the Brewers won what was ultimately a tense game in the first leg of today’s doubleheader, they’ll take on the Royals a second time after a couple hours off for, presumably, pancakes. Tonight’s pitching matchup was originally scheduled as Milwaukee’s Brandon Sproat versus Kansas City’s Seth Lugo, a 2024 All-Star. But […]
Box Score Garrett Mitchell had five RBIs, including a three-run home run, and Chad Patrick went five scoreless innings as the Brewers defeated the Royals in the first game of today’s doubleheader. Milwaukee roared out to a quick lead in the top of the first courtesy of Mitchell’s second two-run double in as many games. […]
Thankfully, the weather in Kansas City today is cold, windy, yet — unlike last night — sunny. With last night’s series opener postponed due to inclement weather, today’s game was moved up to 1:10 p.m. to accommodate a doubleheader, with the makeup game now set for 6:10 p.m. Chad Patrick, originally scheduled to start last […]
Let’s try this again, shall we? First, here’s what I wrote last night about the expected starters for that game who will both still pitch in today’s first match: In the series opener, the Royals are going to be relying on a rookie making his first MLB start, but not his first MLB appearance. Michael […]
