Box Score If Tyler Black is playing for a roster spot, he’s off to a good start this spring. He collected three more hits this afternoon as the Brewers won their third straight game, 5-1 over the Rangers. Black started his day out with a double in the first inning, though the Brewers didn’t manage […]
The Brewers have put together a modest two-game winning streak after yesterday’s 13-12 thriller against the Giants. They will try to extend that to three games this afternoon as they travel to Surprise to face the Rangers. Aaron Ashby will pitch first this afternoon and is making his first appearance of the spring. The Brewers […]
Meet the new battery, same as the old battery. William Contreras is locked in as the Brewers’ starter, ready for his fourth season behind the plate in Milwaukee. And after speculation throughout the fall and winter about who the backup catcher would be, whether that would be one of a slim group of free agents, […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: What would a lockout do to the Brewers? This has been a week of questions focusing on the lockout, and today we’re asking specifically about the impact on the Brewers. There are a ton of things to consider, so no impact really seems off limits. […]
Despite giving up 12 runs on 11 hits — including three home runs — Milwaukee managed to escape with a thrilling walk-off win over the San Francisco Giants. Brice Turang’s two-homer day powered the Brewers to a second straight victory. After Carlos Rodriguez retired the Giants in order to start the game, Turang crushed his […]
Yesterday, the Brewers finally picked up their first Cactus League win behind Tyler Black’s six (!!) RBIs. They’ll be looking to make it two straight in today’s matchup with the San Francisco Giants, who haven’t lost a game yet this spring. Carlos Rodriguez, who appeared in four games last year, will be on the mound […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Who would you blame the most if there is a baseball lockout? Yesterday, we asked if you’re worried about a work stoppage, and today, we’re asking who you’d blame if there is one. Spoiler alert: Tomorrow’s question also pertains to a potential lockout. If baseball […]
The Brewers and Athletics both entered Tuesday’s game seeking their first Cactus League win but it was the Brewers who were able to get it in very convincing fashion. Tyler Black was the star of the show today, getting things started by following a single from Blake Perkins with a two-run homer down the right […]
The Cactus Crew still hasn’t been able to get their first win of spring training after losing a late lead against the Padres on Monday. Today they’ll be traveling again to face the not-Oakland-not-Las-Vegas-but-not-Sacramento Athletics. Lefty Rob Zastryzny will get the start today for the Brewers. Righty Mason Barnett is the scheduled starter for the […]
Today, let’s put our optimist hats on. It’s spring training, after all — the possibilities seem endless! I’m going to go player-by-player through the position players likely to be on the major league team this season (with a few bonuses at the end) and think about what a season looks like for them if everything […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: How worried are you about a baseball lockout? This is one of those topics where everyone seems to have a strong opinion one way or the other. Obviously, no baseball fan wants to see an absence of games, and the long-term fallout is something that […]
The Milwaukee Brewers looked well on their way to picking up their first Cactus League win this afternoon when a late bullpen collapse by players you’ve probably never heard of meant another day with a zero in the win column for the Brewers. Of course, winners and losers in the Cactus League don’t really matter […]
The Cactus League Brewers are back in action and looking to get off the schneid this afternoon after losing both games in split-squad action yesterday. They’ll travel to Peoria to take on the San Diego Padres. Today’s lineup features a balance of regulars and minor leaguers, as Jackson Chourio, Joey Ortiz, Andrew Vaughn, and Gary […]
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to have one of the best farm systems in Major League Baseball. In fact, they are ranked the best farm system by ESPN and The Athletic heading into 2026. The Brewers’ collection of talent is ever-growing, with some late offseason additions from the Freddy Peralta and Caleb Durbin trades. It makes […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question (or, I guess, in this case, it’s more of a statement) is: Make one prediction you will stand by all season. In recent seasons, the Brewers have consistently been one of the most underrated teams, regularly outperforming their projected win totals and finishing atop the NL […]
The Milwaukee Brewers had their first split-squad day of the spring on Sunday, as part of the team visited the Chicago White Sox in Glendale, and the others stayed in Phoenix to battle the Kansas City Royals. With a pair of losses, the Brewers fell to 0-3 in the Cactus League as their hopes for […]
After a losing effort against the Guardians on Saturday afternoon, the Brewers are back at it with their first split-squad day of the spring. The road Brewer squad is in Glendale, where they’ll take on the Chicago White Sox, while the home team welcomes the Royals to American Family Fields of Phoenix. In the road […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Who do Brewer fans overrate? Earlier in the week, we asked who you defend no matter what, but today’s question is something of an inverse. Who’s that one player that everyone seems to love (or defend), but the results on the field just aren’t there? […]
Box Score After a long, eventful winter, the Milwaukee Brewers were back in action on Saturday afternoon in Phoenix, as they hosted the Cleveland Guardians. While the results don’t matter much (besides for the coveted Cactus League Cup), the Brewers did go down 9-6 in this one. Garrett Stallings worked around a pair of singles […]
Baseball is back! The Milwaukee Brewers kick off their Cactus League slate Saturday afternoon in Phoenix as they’ll welcome the Cleveland Guardians in a battle of the two two-time reigning Managers of the Year in Pat Murphy and former Brewer Stephen Vogt. Today’s game is one filled with non-roster invitees, including a few you may […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: You’re the GM for one move: What’s one trade, signing, or extension you’d make? Everyone loves to be an armchair general manager, so now’s your chance to make the move you want. What are you doing? Weigh in in the comments, and join us throughout […]
We’re trying something new to continue our goal of starting (and continuing) conversations within the Brew Crew Ball community. As part of this effort, we’re implementing “Bernie’s Dugout,” a weekly open thread that we’ll drop each Friday. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-baseball […]
Back in January, arbitration-eligible players and teams who did not come to an agreement on a salary for the 2026 season at the deadline had to file for the salary they thought the player deserved. This year, 18 players exchanged figures with their clubs to head to arbitration. The Brewers had just one player among […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: If you could change one moment in franchise history, what would it be? The Brewers have had their share of heartbreak over the years, losing the 1982 World Series, the 2018 NLCS, the 2019 Wild Card Game, and the 2024 Wild Card Series in heartbreaking […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have reworked manager Pat Murphy’s contract, locking up the reigning two-time NL Manager of the Year through 2028 with a club option for 2029, multiple sources have confirmed. Murphy, who was entering his final season of a three-year deal signed after the departure of Craig Counsell in the 2023-24 offseason, will stick […]
