Game Thread #55: Milwaukee Brewers (34-20) @ Houston Astros (26-33)

Last night, the Brewers opened their series against the Astros with a win they had to grind out in extra innings. Today, they will go for their fifth straight win as the series continues this afternoon. Brandon Sproat is on the mound for his ninth start (and 11th appearance) of the season. He is coming […]

Jacob Misiorowski, Kyle Harrison, and the history of great pitching duos

Jacob Misiorowski has vaulted himself into the Cy Young conversation by allowing one run in five May starts combined. He leads the league in strikeouts, strikeouts per nine, and hits per nine. He’s also throwing harder than literally any starter we’ve ever seen. (Probably.) And yet, despite Misiorowski’s unhittable stuff and 1.83 ERA (220 ERA+)*, […]

Brewers pick up gritty 5-4 comeback win over Astros in 10 innings

Box Score The Brewers didn’t look great tonight. They only got four hits. They had a couple of tough errors, one of which led directly to runs. They trailed for most of the game. But these Brewers don’t lie down. They managed to squeeze a couple of late runs across by a combination of grit […]

Breaking T drops new I Heart The Miz & Anime Miz shirts

We’re back with another pair of shirts from our partners at Breaking T, and both of them feature Milwaukee’s young pitching phenom.

The Brewers should strongly consider shutting down Quinn Priester

The Milwaukee Brewers have been adamant about rehabbing Quinn Priester through what started as a wrist injury and has since been diagnosed as thoracic outlet syndrome. They have remained consistent that getting the feel for pitches again is going to take time and that they need to be patient and he just needs to “keep […]

Brewers spoil no-hit bid in dramatic 2-1 comeback victory

Box Score Despite being no-hit through seven innings, Milwaukee’s pitching staff kept the game within reach long enough for the offense to scrape together just enough support in today’s 2-1 victory over the Cardinals. The win also secured the Brewers’ first home sweep of the Cardinals since 2011 and widened their NL Central lead to […]

Misiorowski shines again as Brewers beat Cardinals 5-1

Box Score Jacob Misiorowski doing incredible things has become shockingly routine this season, especially this month. He came into his start today not having allowed a run in four outings covering 24 1/3 innings in May. But he looked as good as he has at any point during that streak today, if not better, before […]

Brewers collect hits but little else in 5-1 loss to Dodgers

Box Score The Brewers collected seven hits off Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but couldn’t string enough of them together to score more than one run. After today’s loss, the Brewers have now dropped two straight as they head into a series against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals. Unlike in the first two games of this […]

Game Thread #50: Milwaukee Brewers (30-19) vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (32-20)

In the first two games of this series, the Brewers jumped all over the Dodgers’ starting pitcher in the opening inning. Milwaukee scored four runs in the first inning of Friday’s series-opening win, while all three of their runs in yesterday’s 11-3 loss came in the first. That’s especially important because Los Angeles will turn […]

Early offense not enough as Brewers fall to Dodgers 11-3

Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers were following a familiar script on Saturday night, jumping all over the Dodgers starter for a crooked number in the first inning. The offense stagnated after that, but the Dodgers’ offense didn’t and scored 11 unanswered runs to win the game 11-3. Milwaukee started the game with back-to-back doubles from […]

Early offense, solid pitching lead Brewers to 5-1 victory over Dodgers

Box Score The Brewers got right down to business tonight. They came after Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski early, and before anyone seemed to know what was happening, the Brewers had the lead. They added to that lead in the second inning, and while Wrobleski settled down and the Brewer offense turned quiet, the early lead […]
