There's a problem. Brewers need to look in the mirror
If this is indeed Brandon Woodruff's last day with the Brewers, either by trade or non-tender, let's take a moment to relive one of the greatest moments in Brewers history...
Notice Counsell going straight to the phone before even celebrating to change the bullpen arm getting loose.
He ain't the best manager in the league for nothing
Dude ran onto the field, gave Jansen a thumbs down, and literally started a rally that lead to a Brewers win. Convince me the Brewers org didn’t do this on purpose😂
So, let me get this straight, Jonathan Lucroy brings home Orlando Arcia after Keston Hiura made a bad throw at 2nd base? In a Triple-A game in 2021?
What alternate universe are we living in?
The Cubs have decided to be sellers at the Deadline while sitting 9.5 GB of the
#Brewers
.
What does this mean for the NL Central as these two "rivals" head in opposite directions?

The Brewers’ offense ranks 26th in runs per game, but rookie Sal Frelick is providing a spark.
The next step is for GM Matt Arnold to supply reinforcements, starting with a first base/DH type, writes
@Ken_Rosenthal
.
Today's edition of The Windup:
Sort of frustrated that Frelick isn't allowed in the lineup vs LHPs
He's doing things only Paul Molitor has done in franchise history and is clearly one of the best hitters and hottest hitters on this team.
Play. Frelick. Every. Day.
If Jesse Winker finds himself in a starting lineup in the postseason, pretty sure that lineup graphic will replace this Ryon Healy one in Brewers Twitter lore
The
#Brewers
have promoted 18 year old OF Luis Lara to the High-A
@TimberRattlers
!
Lara had a .285 average, .379 OBP, 22 stolen bases, and a 39:46 BB/K ratio in Low-A
@CarolinaMudcats
Craig Counsell: "Ultimately your job is to provide your fans with an incredible experience"
Also Craig Counsell: "I'm going to put Jesse Winker on the playoff roster"
Craig Counsell acknowledged several times today that he underestimated how much his move to the Cubs would inflame passions at home. He also spoke about falling short of the ultimate goal — winning the World Series — and discussed what constitutes success in pro sports.
Fun Fact: Abner Uribe is the first player in MLB with the first name "Abner" since Abner Dalrymple played from 1878-1891
Double fun fact: In 1891, Dalrymple's final season, he played for the Milwaukee Brewers...then of the American Association
I just realized....
The
#Brewers
have both of these players in their minor league system right now:
Tyler Black
Tyler White
I don't know what to make of this except for a string of terrible puns, but I found it amazing
BREAKING: Center fielder Byron Buxton and the Minnesota Twins are in agreement on a long-term, nine-figure contract extension, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.
Julio Teheran's first two starts with the
#Brewers
after being out of the big leagues for two years:
5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K vs Giants
6 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K vs Blue Jays
Teheran has a 0.82 ERA through 11 IP. Whatever you expected from him, it probably wasn't that.
@Luke_Barker17
So awful, man. I feel terrible that it went down like this.
I'm so glad you were able to get your MLB debut here. You deserve to be treated better than this
BREAKING: First baseman Rhys Hoskins and the Milwaukee Brewers are finalizing a two-year, $34 million contract with an opt-out after the first season, sources tell ESPN.
The Seattle Mariners this offseason have acquired Kolten Wong, Trevor Gott, Cooper Hummel, Jacob Nottingham, and now Justin Topa.
It's a Brewers reunion in the PNW!
Early career Brewers extensions:
Ryan Braun (8/45) - 152 games played
Freddy Peralta (5/15.5) - 55 games, 22 starts
Aaron Ashby (5/20.5)- 31 games
Jackson Chourio (8/80ish) - 0 games
Chourio gets the largest guarantee of them all. A remarkable move
Tyrone Taylor is out of minor league options and is back to the 5th outfielder job.
It's time for the Brewers to either give him a legit chance, or move on
Tyrone Taylor, slated for a bigger role in 2022 as the 4th outfielder, will now see less playing time with the addition of Andrew McCutchen.
Taylor just cannot seem to catch a break:
Just a reminder of how absurd CC Sabathia was:
Sabathia had 7 complete games for the Brewers in 2008.
The
#Brewers
have thrown just 4 nine inning complete games in the 9 seasons of the Craig Counsell era
With the news that Travis Shaw may be close to signing with the
#Brewers
here's my totally realistic photoshop of what Shaw looks like in a Brewers uniform
BREAKING: The
#Brewers
are reportedly in talks with FA closer Craig Kimbrel. What does this mean and what could a contract look like? Read more here.
#ThisIsMyCrew
Owen Miller, Mike Brosseau, and Keston Hiura are all right handed hitters that project to a bench role in the infield.
There's no way all three can co-exist on the same roster in 2023. Someone is moving
The
#Brewers
are promoting 2022 3rd Round pick Dylan O'Rae to the
@CarolinaMudcats
!
O'Rae was hitting .362 with a .522 OBP and 28 stolen bases with the ACL Brewers. Also a stellar 40 BBs to just 23 Ks
Corbin Burnes just had the most dominant pitching season since Pedro Martinez.
If that doesn't earn you the Cy Young, it's the biggest injustice in baseball awards in a long time
New Brewers C Alex Jackson, acquired today from the Marlins, was the 6th overall pick in the 2014 Draft.
So I looked back at that first round and I'm really wishing I didn't...
The pain...
