Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 4/10-4/16

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are in an early-season fight atop the NL Central standings, as Milwaukee sits at 8-4 and the entire division is currently .500 or better. Oh, and the Brewers released a new City Connect jersey on Thursday that’s pretty bleh in my opinion. Feel free to use this thread […]

Brewers release new City Connect design

After a leak early last week, the Milwaukee Brewers have now officially released their new City Connect jerseys. The new design features “Wisco” across the chest and “Forward,” Wisconsin’s state motto, sewn into the collar. The jersey is primarily blue with cream and a “sunset gradient” accents. It also features a Barrelman sleeve patch and […]

The Case for Luis Matos

The Brewers are already pretty deep in the outfield. When healthy, Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, and Garrett Mitchell form a consistently productive core, while Blake Perkins and Brandon Lockridge serve as capable depth options. Well, what if I told you they may have just added another starting-caliber outfielder? This offseason, the Brewers traded for left-handed […]

Brewers lose battle of aces against Red Sox, 3-2

Box Score In what was lined up as a battle of aces, the game delivered for the first 5 1/2 innings. However, it was Garrett Crochet who came out on top over Jacob Misiorowski, and the Brewers dropped their second game in Boston, 3-2. Crochet started with a 1-2-3 inning, aided by a diving catch […]

Game Thread #11: Milwaukee Brewers (8-2) @ Boston Red Sox (2-8)

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 […]

Willson Contreras v. Brandon Woodruff: A Brief Beef History

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 […]

Breaking T drops new Pat’s Pocket Turtle shirt

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 […]

Game Thread #10: Milwaukee Brewers (7-2) @ Boston Red Sox (2-7)

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. […]

Game Thread #9: Milwaukee Brewers (6-2) @ Kansas City Royals (4-4)

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 […]

Brewers drop second game of doubleheader to Royals, 8-2

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!

Tonight’s pitching matchup was originally scheduled as Milwaukee’s Brandon Sproat versus Kansas City’s Seth Lugo, a 2024 All-Star. But […]
