11 Years Ago Alex Anthopoulos traded Adam Lind to the Brewers for Marco Estrada. I wasn’t overly thrilled about the trade. He appeared to be a mediocre 5th starter/long reliever/swingman type. I expected a little more for Lind. I worried about Estrada’s tendency to give up home runs. The AL East seemed the wrong place […]

As the World Series rolls on, the Toronto Blue Jays represent an interesting mirror-image of the Milwaukee Brewers. While Milwaukee struggled in their 4-0 series loss in the NLCS, their roster bears similarities to the Blue Jays, who have put up a much more convincing effort. Both teams, renowned for their defense and plate-approaches, are […]

Earlier this week, I wrote a post that looked at each position on the Brewers and identified shortstop and the outfield as the most likely places that the team could improve the team in 2026 (with a TBD in the starting rotation). As a follow-up to that post, I’m going to look at the upcoming […]

The Dodgers and Blue Jays are currently squaring off in the Fall Classic, each in the top five in MLB in payroll spending. The fiscal advantage enjoyed by certain clubs, particularly the Dodgers, is once again prominent. On the other hand, this postseason saw the Brewers – who play in a market smaller than Kansas […]

As the Milwaukee Brewers’ season retreats further into the rearview mirror, we are naturally starting to think about the offseason, which will begin in earnest at the Winter Meetings the week of December 7. The Brewers should have money to spend this offseason, and they certainly have the chips to make a trade if they […]

The Dodgers offense fired on all cylinders over their two-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card series, but since then, they haven’t provided much to desire. The Dodgers were outscored by the Philadelphia Phillies 15-12 in the NLDS despite winning the series in four, and although they swept the Milwaukee Brewers in […]

Good morning, LSB. We’re still light on any Rangers news but of course last night was Game 1 of the World Series in which the underdog Blue Jays did some swingin’. Ken Rosenthal says the quality of at-bats was the difference in Game 1. And the Brewers were probably at home going “Ohhhhh” as they […]

Introduction I’ll be frank – this wasn’t the World Series matchup I was hoping to see when the playoffs began. I feel confident that I’m not alone in that feeling, especially within this fanbase. Personally, I would have preferred a Mariners-Brewers World Series and the level of disappointment and disillusionment here in Milwaukee is palpable. […]

I know, I know, the Brewers aren’t in the World Series. It’s unfortunate. Still, it will be an interesting series (with potential collective bargaining ramifications!) as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays take the field.

Most of the articles written on Brew Crew Ball recently have focused on the Brewers’ performance in the playoffs, with good reason. This is going to be different. As BCB’s resident minor league writer, I feel a duty — nay, an obligation — to remind you just how stacked the Brewers’ farm system is. While […]

While baseball fans turn their attention to the World Series, award season is gaining some traction in the background. For Milwaukee fans, it might be some solace to see their players take home some well-deserved personal hardware. Three Brewers players made their way on to the ballots this season.

There have been some great rotations in the modern era for the Brewers. The 2021 rotation is the gold standard in terms of stats. They were far ahead of any other rotation by starting pitcher fWAR (20.3), and also had the best ERA (3.13) and FIP (3.29). The 2011 rotation helped earn the team its […]
