Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 6/12-6/18

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers had another slightly underwhelming week, as they swept the Rockies in Colorado and won an extra-innings slugfest on Monday night in Las Vegas but ultimately dropped their series with the A’s.

Monday night just adds to the list of all-time wild Brewers games

Monday night’s offensive slugfest with the Athletics in Las Vegas was nothing short of wild. From Kyle Harrison’s random blowup, where the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning got taken for a ride, to the 15 overturned pitch challenges, or maybe the fact that despite giving up 14 runs as a pitching […]

Brewers drop series finale in Vegas, lose to A’s 4-3

Box Score It was a solid night for Brandon Sproat in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, but the Brewers were unable to pick up the series win, as the offense faltered after putting up an early lead and Chad Patrick struggled out of the bullpen.

It’s time: bring Cooper Pratt to the big leagues

Note: the stats in this article were accurate through Monday; Pratt hit another homer on Tuesday. When Cooper Pratt signed an eight-year, $50 million contract (with two lucrative option years) on April 3, a clock started.

Brewers can’t keep up with Athletics, lose 7-5

Box Score After last night’s home run fest, expectations were that today’s game would feature more of the same. It wasn’t at the same levels as last night, but offense was still plentiful in this one. Unfortunately, the Brewers just couldn’t keep up this time, and they lost 7-5 to even the series at 1-1. […]

Breaking T releases “Watch It Go Wild Bill” shirt

We’re back with a new Breaking T shirt, featuring Milwaukee’s star backstop. In Monday night’s wild 15-14 victory, William “Wild Bill” Contreras hit what at the time looked like a put-away three-run homer in the 10th inning, giving the Crew a 14-10 lead (though it would ultimately take them 12 innings to score the deciding […]

Offensive assault leads Brewers to 12-4 win and sweep over Rockies

Box Score For five innings on Sunday afternoon, the Brewers looked on their way to a disappointing afternoon. They were hitting the ball okay, but they weren’t stringing hits together. Some early defensive lapses gifted the Rockies an early lead, which held at 3-1 through five innings. But in the sixth, the dam burst, and […]

The winning pitchers in those games were Marco Estrada, Wily Peralta, and Kyle Lohse. […]

Miz dominates the Rockies in Brewers 7-1 win

Box Score Jacob Misiorowski is approaching his one-year anniversary of his Brewers debut. Tonight, he showed just how much growth he has made in that year.
