Game Thread #40: Milwaukee Brewers (23-16) vs. San Diego Padres (24-17)
Fresh off a 6-4 series opening win on Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are back at it with both teams’ respective aces on the mound. The Brewers will have Jacob Misiorowski starting tonight. He’s coming off an electric start against the Yankees where he struck out 11 and threw the most […]
The Brewers’ bullpen is working its magic again
Note: All statistics are as of May 11 At some point every season, the Brewers’ bullpen stops making sense. Not bad, necessarily. Just… different. There’s no clean seventh-eighth-ninth progression. There’s no “this is the closer, this is the setup guy, everyone else fall in line.” Instead, it’s a constant shuffle of arms, innings, and situations […]
Joey Ortiz helps power Brewers’ offense to series opening win against Padres
Box Score On the night where Christian Yelich returned to the lineup, one of the biggest punching bags of the offense had the big performance. Joey Ortiz has taken a lot of heat this year from fans for his slow start at the plate, understandably so. Ortiz entered Tuesday’s game with a .181 average, a […]
Game Thread #39: Milwaukee Brewers (22-16) vs. San Diego Padres (24-16)
The Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are getting a three-game series started at American Family Field.

Brewers activate Christian Yelich to finally bring lineup back to full strength
At long last, the Milwaukee Brewers finally have all their big bats available to them in the starting lineup. The Brewers have not had their top group of bats — Jackson Chourio, Andrew Vaughn, and Christian Yelich — together all season. Now, they finally will as Christian Yelich has been activated off the IL and […]

2026 Brewers Week in Review: Week 7
Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week Just like last week, our selection here goes to Jacob Misiorowski. Miz made all sorts of history on Friday night when he threw the seven fastest pitches ever thrown by a starting pitcher, but it wasn’t just that he was throwing hard: […]
Turang walk-off homer gives Brewers 4-3 victory, caps sweep of Yankees
Box Score Twenty years ago, Bill Hall (one of the author’s all-time favorite players), wearing No. 2, hit a walk-off home run with a pink bat on Mother’s Day. Today, Brice Turang, also No. 2, used a pink bat to add another chapter to Milwaukee Mother’s Day lore when he walked off the Yankees with […]
Game Thread #38: Milwaukee Brewers (21-16) vs. New York Yankees (26-14)
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! The Brewers, of course, have some history on this holiday, and they’ll look to keep that rolling today. By winning on Friday and Saturday, the Brewers have already clinched a big series victory against the New York Yankees. But they might as well get greedy, right? […]
Is it time for the Brewers to retire another jersey?
Sitting and watching CC Sabathia and Dave Parker being inducted into the Brewers’ Wall of Fame got me thinking: When will the Brewers retire their next number? The last person to have a jersey number retired was a man who never played baseball for the team but rather was born, raised, and brought baseball back […]
Brewers walk off Yankees in extras as William Contreras plays hero
Box Score It was a matchup of two young pitchers who have been dominating to start 2026: Cam Schlittler and Kyle Harrison. Offense would be at a premium; that was certain. The Brewers nearly were able to knock Schlittler out of the game in the first inning, after William Contreras ripped a 108.5-mph comebacker off […]
Game Thread #37: Milwaukee Brewers (20-16) vs. New York Yankees (26-13)
The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to parlay their win in the series opener against the New York Yankees into a series win on Saturday night. They were able to shut out the Yankees potent lineup on Friday night, the first shutout the Brewers have had against the Yankees since 1992. On the mound trying to […]
Jacob Misiorowski is making history, and the season is still young
Last night, the Brewers put together a strong performance to open up their series against the Yankees, shutting them out 6-0. While the final score reflects a complete game from the Brewers as a team, it was Jacob Misiorowski who generated the talk of the game. Not only did he dominate a strong Yankees’ lineup, […]
Pitching staff shines in second shutout win of the year
Box Score Jacob Misiorowski celebrated CC Sabathia being inducted into the Brewers’ Wall of Fame in the most ceremonious fashion possible, by striking out 11 Yankees and not allowing a single run, as he led the Brewers to a 6-0 series-opening victory Friday night. Kicking the festivities off in the top of the first inning, […]
Game Thread #36: Milwaukee Brewers (19-16) vs. New York Yankees (26-12)
After an on-and-off week for the Brewers, they’re back in action following a scheduled off day yesterday and this evening, ready to begin a three-game series with the New York Yankees. It’s been just a little over a year since the Yankees and Brewers last squared off, and last year’s series was certainly one that […]
Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 5/8-5/14
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are back in town, as they’ll host the Yankees and Padres over the next week. We’ll start things off this week with a question: Which opposing MLB stadium would you most (and least) like to visit to catch a game? Feel free to use this thread to chat […]
Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. New York Yankees
The Milwaukee Brewers are back in town, as they’ll take on the New York Yankees with Jackson Chourio ready to suit up for the first time at home this season.

Brewers chose perfect time for CC Sabathia’s induction into Wall of Honor
The Brewers had announced over the winter that they would be inducting both CC Sabathia and Dave Parker into the team’s Wall of Honor outside American Family Field. Both had been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame the previous year. Both Parker and Sabathia are worthy inductees for the Brewers Wall of Honor […]
Brewers cruise to 6-2 victory over Cardinals
Box Score The Brewers took control early and never looked back, cruising to a 6-2 win behind a four-run first inning on Wednesday afternoon. They will get a well-earned day off tomorrow before returning home to face the 25-11 Yankees, who currently hold the second-best record in baseball. Milwaukee did all of their damage in […]
Game Thread #35: Milwaukee Brewers (18-16) @ St. Louis Cardinals (21-14)
The Brewers are back in action today for the series finale of what will effectively be a two-game series against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals after yesterday’s rainout. Neither team opted to skip the spot in the rotation, so today’s pitching matchup is still Brandon Sproat against Andre Pallante. Sproat has flashed serious potential during […]
Happy 125th Birthday to the Milwaukee Brewers
You might be thinking, “Didn’t we just celebrate 50 years of Brewers baseball a few years ago?” Technically, yes. The Major League Baseball team that is the Milwaukee Brewers turned 50 in 2020. But the name, as many know, has been around for a lot longer than that. Since 1901, to be exact. Other smaller […]
Tonight’s Brewers-Cardinals game postponed
Due to inclement weather passing through the St. Louis area, tonight’s game against the Cardinals has been postponed. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader between the two teams on July 7, the next time the Brewers visit St. Louis. The makeup game will be at 1:15 p.m., and the scheduled […]
Brewer lefty Angel Zerpa to undergo Tommy John surgery
Just a day after getting two of their best hitters back, the Brewers received some unfortunate news on the pitching front: left-hander Angel Zerpa will undergo Tommy John surgery, shelving him for the rest of the 2026 season and likely the start of 2027, too. Zerpa, 26, was acquired from the Royals back in December, […]
