Milwaukee Brewers

By Jordan M If there were 5 starters on the major league team right now that I could project to put up an ERA better than about 5 or 5.25, I'd be all for letting Parra try to figure it out and make a couple of good starts at AAA. That would maybe raise the likelihood of him getting his control back and reaching th...

By KLSnow With the Brewers loss and Cardinals win yesterday, the Cardinals have pulled back into a tie for the lead in the NL Central, which now has five teams within three games of first place. There are also nine teams within four games of the NL Wild Card.

By KLSnow Is the worst managing in baseball done in the NL Central? A recent poll conducted by Sports Illustrated had both Cubs manager Lou Piniella (26%) and Cardinals manager Tony La Russa (10%) in the top three in a poll asking major leaguers which manager they least want to play for. At the same tim...

By KLSnow Ryan Sadowski is the fourth pitcher in 2009 to lead his team to victory over the Brewers in his major league debut. Not everyone was having a hard time making contact, though: in the California League, Lake Elsinore defeated (former Brewer affiliate) High Desert 33-18.

By battlekow Flashes of the White Sox series: the Brewers rallied from behind to tie the game and brought in Hoffman in the top of the 9th, only to see him get hit hard and untie it. This time, Bells allowed three straight singles to open the frame and then two sac flies to give the Giants the lead and set the st...

By KLSnow I still think it's too early to start discussing the Wild Card, but MLB FanHouse notices that the Brewers are tied with the Giants for the lead in the race for the final playoff spot, and five teams are within 2.5 games of it.

By Jordan M The answer to the question? It is zero. Every time a batter has decided to swing at a Jeff Suppan fastball, they have made contact with it. Even batters who played for the Giants. Batters have swung and missed 8 Jeff Suppan pitches this year-- a curveball, 3 sliders, and 4 changeups.

By KLSnow So, barring inclement weather, Jason Kendall will start his second season as the Brewers' catcher tomorrow. The second of how many, you ask? Well, Kendall says he'd like to play six seasons in Milwaukee, which would keep him in a Brewer uniform through his fortieth birthday and give him a g...

Five of the team's regular starters (Prince Fielder, Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy, Ryan Braun and Corey Hart) are products of those efforts. Starting pitchers Yovani Gallardo and Manny Parra were also drafted by Zduriencik, as were the key pieces used in the trade for CC Sabathia (Matt LaPorta...

By KLSnow Speaking of rumors, Jon Heyman of SI.com has one you almost certainly haven't heard every day for two weeks: the Yankees are interested in CC Sabathia. No Brewers filed for free agency Tuesday, but here are some players that did generate hot stove news:

By Ken Rosenthal The losses of Fielder and free-agent pitchers CC Sabathia and right-hander Ben Sheets in one offseason would be too damaging from a public-relations standpoint, particularly when the Brewers are coming off their first postseason appearance in 26 years.

Three members of the Brewerfan.net staff picked Matt LaPorta, who very well may have taken home this award had he not been traded as the major cog in the Sabathia deal. One took Alcides Escobar, who split the player of the year honors from the Milwaukee Brewers official minor league awards wi...

The Brewers are not dead but they are on life support the Phillies have an incredibly easy final 4 series Atlanta, Florida Atlanta and Washington.

By David Hannes As for Zambrano getting his no-hitter in Miller Park…well, c’est la vie, I suppose. It was truly a double whammy that the Astros, being the home team, opted to use the visitors’ dugout for the games, as they were more accustomed to them…which meant the Cubs’ got to celebrate in the Brewers’ l...

The landscape of the MLB pennant races took on some major changes through the Fourth of July weekend, highlighted by a blockbuster trade by the Brewers for C.C. Sabathia — proving that the new currency in big league baseball is the farm system, not dollars.

By Jeff Sackmann Melvin: I talked to CC last night, doesn't want days at home, wants to be in dugout tonight. It's very encouraging. He knows a few of our players, Riske, who said there's a guy in Cleveland that may be available. I can only listen because of tampering.

By Rob(noreply@blogger.com) Via BTF comes this gem of Robothal genuflecty silliness, a possible trade for C.C. Sabathia: The Brewers aren't the only team pushing hard for Indians left-hander C.C. Sabathia. The Dodgers also are heavily in the mix, according to major-league sources.

By battlekow BCB: Are you in Arizona now? BCB: So, did you know the Brewers were interested in drafting you before they did? CK: The Reds, Cardinals, and Cubs were the most interested. BCB: Oh so you're a Cardinals fan? Well, better than the Cubs, I suppose.

By battlekow BCB: Are there any major league pitchers you pattern yourself after? BCB: As long as you're not a Cubs fan! EF: (laughs) I’m a complete Brewers fan now. BCB: Did you see the Sports Illustrated picture of J.J. Hardy and Corey Hart playing ping pong?

By Jim McLennan The Dodgers, to no-one's great surprise, closed the gap to 3.5 by beating the Rockies, who dropped their eighth game in a row. If Colorado keep this up, they are going to end up right alongside the 1998 fire-sale Marlins, for the biggest implosions in baseball history: Florida went from 92 wi...

By KLSnow Brewers Bar has raised a straw man and beaten the crap out of it, saying that "many people" feel race was a factor in the Brewers decision to sign Ryan Braun to a long term contract before Prince Fielder.

With Cubs homer Joe Aiello out of the picture on the Thursday show, host Brandon Rosage takes his shot at both questions following a pitiful Tigers loss in Kansas City and a fourth shutout loss by San Diego — this time at the hands of Cubs starter Ryan Dempster.
