Ryan Braun Struggling At The Plate

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder and first baseman Ryan Braun went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the 8-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Braun is currently 1-for-12 this year, with his only hit being a two-out, three-run home run in the ninth inning against the Padres. Despite that being arguably one of the biggest hits of […]

Lorenzo Cain Launches Solo Bomb In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the 8-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. This now gives Cain a hit in all four games so far this season, and he is looking to be quite the deadly leadoff man for the Brewers with his contact profile and stolen […]

Ryan Braun Trade Rumors Denied By Brewers GM

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun was subject to trade rumors with Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, and Brewers GM David Stearns thought it was an "early April Fools Day joke". There is expected to be some trade rumors popping up with players in the extremely talent filled Brewers outfield or first base spots, but […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 1

The opening week of the MLB season runs a little longer than the typical two-start pitcher fantasy timetable, but the importance of boosting your pitching stats is still substantial. Unfortunately, with aces taking the hill on Thursday and Friday to start the year, we're stuck with lower tier arms in the first official two-start week. […]

Josh Hader Throws Two Hitless Innings

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader went two innings and struck out four in the 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres. Hader is emerging as a versatile option that Brewers manager Craig Counsell can use at any point in time for relief. Hader struck out the side in the sixth inning and later earned […]

Brent Suter Picks Up First Win Of 2018

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brent Suter went five innings, giving up five hits, three earned runs, one walk, and four strikeouts in the 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres. Suter gave up a two-run home run to Freddy Galvis in the second inning, and then an RBI double to Eric Hosmer, however, that was […]

Eric Thames Goes Hitless In Leadoff Spot

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 0-for-3 with two walks and two runs in the 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres. Thames sat out the first two games as Ryan Braun is starting at 1B this year against lefties, which Clayton Richard and Joey Lucchesi both throw. Thames surprisingly hit in the leadoff […]

Travis Shaw Drives Home Three In Win

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 2-for-4 with three RBI's, a double, and a walk in the 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres. Like Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain, Shaw has also started the year off in a desirable way with a .357 batting average and a .971 OPS in 14 at-bats. Shaw […]

Lorenzo Cain Continues Hot Start

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI's, one run, and a walk in the 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres. Cain now has eight hits in 14 at-bats for a .571 batting average and a 1.386 OPS. Cain also moved from the leadoff spot to the three-hole for the […]

Christian Yelich Gets Five Hits In Win

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 5-for-5 with a double, two RBI's, and three runs in the 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres. Yelich was recently acquired in the off-season from the Miami Marlins, and so far has been a fantastic addition for the Brewers, as he now has a .500 batting average and […]

What to Make of Jose Martinez, Matt Davidson, and a Couple Other Quick Starts

Even though it's barely 50 degrees in Brooklyn, it feels like spring is finally nigh now that the 2018 MLB season is underway. As a Yankees fan, I'd been especially looking forward to opening day ever since Giancarlo Stanton was signed. He certainly didn't disappoint when he launched an opposite field home run at 117 […]

Travis Shaw Gets Two Hits In Win

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 2-for-5 with a run in the 8-6 victory over the San Diego Padres. Shaw hit his second double of the season and eventually scored in the first inning after Domingo Santana drove a double into the outfield. Shaw is put in every situation to succeed this year hitting […]

Corey Knebel Knocks Down First Save Of Season

Milwaukee Brewers closing pitcher Corey Knebel struck out the side for his first save of the season in the 8-6 win over the San Diego Padres. Knebel on Thursday gave up one run and blew the save in his first appearance of the 2018 season, however, looked like the Knebel from last season and earned […]

Jhoulys Chacin Roughed Up In Brewers Debut

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin went 3 1/3 innings, giving up seven hits, four earned runs, two walks, and one strikeout. Chacin was facing his previous team last season and was historically fantastic at PETCO Park, however, tonight was just not his night. Chacin allowed home runs to Cory Spangenberg (two runs) and Austin […]

Ryan Braun Delivers Clutch Three Run Bomb

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 1-for-4, drove in five and hit a home run in the 8-6 win over the San Diego Padres. In the ninth inning when the Brewers were down by one with two outs, Braun delivered a three-run bomb off of Padres reliever Brad Hand to put the Brewers in the […]

Ji-Man Choi Optioned To Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Ji-Man Choi was optioned to the team's Triple-A affiliate, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, as the Brewers plan to use newly-acquired relief pitcher Dan Jennings in the bullpen. Choi undoubtedly has a lot of hitting potential, however, the Brewers are also crammed at first base with Ryan Braun, Jesus Aguilar and Eric […]

Jonathan Villar Out Of Lineup On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar will sit out on Friday against the San Diego Padres. After striking out two times in three at-bats and eventually being replaced by Eric Sogard, it appears Brewers manager Craig Counsell was not impressed with Villar's game Thursday night. The team is also facing a left-handed pitcher Friday. Hernan Perez will […]

Christian Yelich Has Productive Night In Brewers Debut

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich looked good in his debut with the Brewers, going 1-for-4 with one RBI, one walk, and one strikeout. Yelich was acquired from the Marlins for Lewis Brinson, Isan Diaz, Monte Harrison, and Jordan Yamamoto and had a solid Spring Training showing with a .360 batting average and a 1.044 OPS. […]

Lorenzo Cain Has Ideal Leadoff Night In Brewers Return

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in the 2-1 win over the San Diego Padres. This was Cain's first game as a Brewer since his rookie season in 2010, where he started with Milwaukee and looks to be the ideal leadoff man that the Brewers needed. Cain is good to […]

Corey Knebel Blows First Save Of The Season Against Padres

Milwaukee Brewers closer Corey Knebel did not get his 2018 off to a good start as he gave up two hits, one run and had a strikeout against the Padres during a blown save. Knebel came into this game with a 1-0 lead and eventually gave up a single to Carlos Asuaje, who was then […]

Jonathan Villar Strikes Out Twice, Replaced Against Padres

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and was eventually replaced by Eric Sogard defensively in the seventh inning against the San Diego Padres. This is not the start that the Brewers were looking for from Villar, as many were projecting Sogard to start at second. After a disappointing 2017 season where […]

Josh Hader Strikes Out The Side In Relief

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader went one inning on Thursday, giving up one hit, one walk and striking out three against the San Diego Padres for a hold. Hader made his rookie appearance last season and pitched for a solid 2.08 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 47 2/3 innings pitched, so this is no […]

Chase Anderson Fantastic In 2018 Debut

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson was fantastic on Thursday, as he went six innings, only giving up one hi and three walks while earning six strikeouts. Anderson had a breakout year last season, amassing a 2.74 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 141 1/3 innings pitched and despite this start being against a weaker Padres […]

Dan Jennings Signs With Brewers

Free-agent left-handed relief pitcher Dan Jennings has signed with the Milwaukee Brewers and is pending a physical after being released by the Rays. Jennings is most likely being brought in as a result of lefty Boone Logan being placed on the disabled list and will serve as a middle reliever for the Brewers for the time […]
