Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 5/22-5/28

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers responded to a week filled with rivals with a 5-1 stretch, including a huge three-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley. They now sit in sole possession of first place for the first time since early April, and they’ve got another big week on deck with the Dodgers […]

Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

After completing a sweep of the Chicago Cubs in a rematch of the 2025 NLDS, the Milwaukee Brewers will look to repeat that performance in a rematch of the 2025 NLCS, as they’ll host the Los Angeles Dodgers for three games beginning Friday night. The Dodgers, who of course swept the Crew in last year’s […]

Breaking T drops new Taking Care of Mizness Shirt

We’re back with another shirt from our partners at Breaking T, and it’s another one featuring Milwaukee’s young pitching phenom (hopefully you aren’t sick of him yet ;)). Jacob Misiorowski has now gone four consecutive starts without allowing a run, meaning he hasn’t allowed a run since April 25. Over those four starts, he’s totaled […]

The Brewers are last in the league in homers; can they win the World Series?

The Brewers do not hit many home runs. When play starts on Friday, they’ll be last in the majors. While I’d be surprised if the Brewers finish the season in last — remember, Jackson Chourio, Christian Yelich, and Andrew Vaughn have all missed significant time, and they’ve closed the gap somewhat in the last week […]

Dominant Harrison leads Brewers to 5-0 victory, sweep of Cubs

Box Score The first series of the year between the Brewers and their arch-rivals, the Chicago Cubs, did not go the way that the Wrigley Field faithful wanted it to go. For the second straight night, Chicago was unable to score a run off a dominant Milwaukee starter. This time it was Kyle Harrison, who […]

Miz shines again as Brewers defeat Cubs 5-2

Box Score Jacob Misiorowski hasn’t allowed a run since April 25. The Miz extended his scoreless streak to four straight starts and 24 1/3 innings this evening, and this time the Brewers were able to hold the slim lead that he left the game with. A good thing, too, as the Brewers had plenty of […]

Game Thread #46: Milwaukee Brewers (27-18) @ Chicago Cubs (29-19)

The Brewers picked up a nice win over the Cubs yesterday in the first of a three-game series on Chicago’s north side. Today, they’ll look to take the series and catch up to (and pass!) the Cubs in the standings. Yesterday, the Brewers jumped out to a sizable early lead, Brandon Sproat did enough to […]

A look back at some of the Brewers’ best pitching lab moments

Over the last nine years, Milwaukee Brewers fans have witnessed more success in this span of history than ever before. Two trips to the National League Championship Series and seven playoff appearances, which is nearly double the number of appearances in the previous 48 years (1981, 1982, 2008, 2011). Throughout the success, you can point […]

Brewers come out swinging in 9-3 rout of Cubs

Box Score In the first of 13 meetings between the Brewers and Cubs this season, the Brewers set the tone for these matchups. Though the Cubs were riding a 15-game home winning streak and had their ace on the mound, it didn’t faze the Brewers at all. They scored eight runs off of Shota Imanaga […]

Game Thread #45: Milwaukee Brewers (26-18) @ Chicago Cubs (29-18)

The regular season is nearing the two-month mark, but the Brewers and Cubs have not played yet this season. That changes tonight as the two teams open the first of four series, which could end up deciding the NL Central. The season is just over a quarter of the way done, and the National League […]

Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week Is it time to rename this section to “What impressive performance did Jacob Misiorowski pull off last week?” It’s starting to feel that way with how well he’s been pitching.

Brewers’ comeback falls just short in 5-4 loss to Twins

Box Score The Brewers came back to tie today’s game twice, but couldn’t do it a third time as they dropped the series finale against the Twins.

After taking the first two games of a three-game set against the Minnesota Twins, the Brewers have now won three straight games and eight of their last nine.

Patrick deals, Chourio delivers in Brewers’ 2-1 win over Twins

Box Score For the second straight night, the Brewers used the help of a mistake made by third baseman Royce Lewis to tie the game, making way for the offense to take care of business later on. Tonight’s win secures their seventh series win over their last nine. Despite a lack of offense from both […]

Game Thread #43: Milwaukee Brewers (25-17) @ Minnesota Twins (20-25)

With Shane Drohan, the Brewers are doing it again

When the Milwaukee Brewers sent Caleb Durbin and Andruw Monasterio to Boston before the season, the focus was, understandably, on the former top 100 prospect Kyle Harrison. (That has worked out quite well so far!) After that, people’s eyes likely wandered to David Hamilton, who was expected to get a pretty decent amount of work […]

Game Thread #42: Milwaukee Brewers (24-17) @ Minnesota Twins (20-24)
