If the MLB Season Ended Today:
With approximately 125 games played so far this season, what would happen if the MLB playoffs began this week? Who would be a definite lock-in for the postseason, who would be on the bubble and which teams would be watching the playoffs on television? American League: Division Leaders: Houston Astros-West, Cleveland Guardians-Central, New York Yankees-East […]
Top Teams in Each Division of MLB 2022
MLB, or Major League Baseball, is a professional sports organization and the oldest league globally. As the league kicked off last April, 30 teams are now going toe to toe to have the best record in the season and secure spots for the playoffs. Throughout the years, many teams have made history and won one […]
Milwaukee’s Burnes and Hader Combine To Break No-Hitter Record While Eddy Alvarez Hits 1st Career Homer
The MLB’s no-hitter record has been broken, something which wasn’t totally unexpected given the way results panned out in the early going this season. The new record comes courtesy of the Milwaukee Brewers, who no-hit the Cleveland Indians at their Progressive Field on Saturday. Milwaukee’s Corbin Burnes struck out 14 batters and walked one in […]
A Look at the NL Central and Pennant Probabilities
The NL Central the most up-for-grabs divisions in baseball in 2020. Both the NL East and NL Central are divisions that only have one team that is essentially considered out of the race from the get-go. In the NL East, that team is the Miami Marlins. In the NL Central, that team is the Pittsburgh […]
2018 League Division Series
As we inch towards the 2018 Fall Classic, we have already experienced historic events! Before we could even get to the Wild Card games, the National League gave us something to talk about … not one, but two teams tied for first place in the Central and West divisions causing a game 163 for all […]
35 Years Ago: Milwaukee Brewers and the 1981 Baseball Strike
By guest writer, Chris Zantow. Much has been written and broadcast about the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers team that lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. To date this has been the only World Series in franchise history, so naturally there is a lot of nostalgia associated with that particular team. However, the […]

This is a continuation of our series of articles where I ask fellow bloggers from the Baseball Bloggers Alliance (BBA) 9 innings worth of questions about their team.

Early Trade Deadline Predictions
As teams continue to grind through the Major League season, it will become apparent which clubs have a shot at the playoffs, and which clubs are out of it entirely. This evaluation process really picks up near baseball’s trade deadline, which is July 31st. The introduction of the second wild-card team in 2012 has allowed […]
Mr. Baseball Inducted into Broadcasting Hall of Fame
It’s only right that a man known simply as “Mr. Baseball” be entered into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Bob “Mr. Baseball” Uecker will officially be inducted next year so that leaves you with some time to get his books and memorabilia from Tanga because they will become collector’s items soon. […]
Aramis Is The Wrong Direction For Brewers
The Brewers signed Aramis Ramirez to a 3-year deal today to play 3rd and fill in the gap in offense that the departed Prince Fielder left via free agency. Although Fielder has yet to sign with another team, it’s all but a guarantee that the slugger will land somewhere other than Milwaukee for the next decade. […]
Braun Tests Positive, Could Mean Big Changes in Milwaukee
It was just made public that NL MVP Ryan Braun has tested positive for performance enhancing drugs and will serve a 50-game suspension barring an appeal. This is extremely significant for Milwaukee going forward and all but surely takes them out of the bidding for Prince Fielder as Braun will miss 1/3 of the season […]
The Brewers High-StaKes Gamble
With their recent acquisition of Francisco Rodriguez, the Milwaukee Brewers further solidify their bullpen and continue to push all their chips onto the table for a 2011 playoff berth. The Brewers bullpen to date has offered them a steady 1.4 WAR according to Fangraphs, which is in the middle of the pack in MLB. K-Rod, […]
2011 Fantasy Baseball Projections: Is Milwaukee Brewers’ Chris Narveson Worth a Waiver Wire Flier?
Milwaukee Brewers’ pitcher Chris Narveson tossed seven shutout innings against the Cubs Saturday night, allowing just six hits and one walk while striking out nine. Through two starts (13 innings) thus far, Narveson has yet to allow a run, and boasts a 1.00 WHIP and 14/4 K/BB ratio. The 29-year-old journeyman is currently owned in just […]
Two Historic Pitchers Retired This Off Season And Their Press Conferences
Trevor Hoffman Calls It Quits So, after the trials of the 2010 season where Glenn’s little brother saw himself loose his job as the closer for the Brewers for a while, yet rebound and still get his 600th career save (most ever), he decided to hang ‘em up! Here is the video of his retirement […]
2010 Brewers Reflection: What Happened?
As the 2010 baseball season winds to an end, it is time to check on how this season has gone and take a look at a few burning questions that are likely to be answered between the end of the season and the beginning of 2011. It seemed that it was just yesterday that the […]
September Baseball and Buehrle’s Balks
If you are in any city without a chance to win the division baseball in September brings mixed emotions. On the one hand it reminds one that the season is drawing to a close and will create that void a true baseball fan feels. On the other hand, it reminds any team fan outside the […]
The 1% Factor: How The Brewers Can Defy The Odds And Make A Run
As the Brewers end the first “half” of play and come out on the other end of the All-Star Break, the following question popped into my mind: Can The Brewers Defy a 40-49 Record and actually make a playoff run? The one good thing about hope is that it cannot be killed (no matter how […]
What Was Brewing in Milwaukee Baseball in May
Well, we’ve made it to about the one-third mark of the season. Now, let’s take a look at how things progressed during the month of May. What Went Right: May was only 31 days long and it has (finally) come to an end. In all seriousness, I would put the first week of May in […]
Some Thoughts on the Brewers’ April
Well, we’ve got one month of play under our belts, time to check in on how the Brewers did. What Went Right: The list in this area is smaller than I would like it to be. As always, the Brewers have shown they have the potential to pile up runs at will (as evidenced by […]
The 2010 Brewers & The Groundhog Day Principle:
Image via Wikipedia Last week was Groundhog Day (the holiday, not the Bill Murray Movie). Per Groundhog Day tradition, the weather outside when the groundhog emerges hibernation is supposed to correlate with how much longer winter is supposed to last. For this article I decided to apply this principle with a twist. I’m going to […]
The Unceremonious End of the J.J Hardy Era
Friday was an interesting day for Brewers fans as they traded J.J Hardy to the Twins for Carlos Gomez. As a Brewer fan, a J.J Hardy trade was something that I saw coming from a couple time zones away. Still, it isn’t something I’m too thrilled about. On a personal note, J.J Hardy was one […]
A last look at the Brewers ’09: A first look at what’s next
September General Overview: September Record 13-15 Season Record 77-81 (with 4 games to go) The Brewers came into September clearly outside of playoff contention. However, they did have a couple opportunities to impact the Wild Card chase as they had a couple of the front-runners on the schedule in September. In their first chance, they […]
Brewers Fading Away: An August Recap
Records/General Thoughts: August Record 13-14 Current Record 64-66 (3rd place-12 Games Behind St. Louis) August was an interesting month for the Brewers, but not in a good way. The Brewers came into August only 5 1/2 games out of first despite struggling throughout June and July. Instead of taking advantage of an easy August schedule […]
Reflections on the Brewers at the Trade Deadline
The Milwaukee Brewers are in a precarious situation. A team that was built from the inside with three-fourths of an infield (Prince Fielder, Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy), a pair of slugging corner outfielders (Ryan Braun, Corey Hart) and an ace in the making (Yovani Gallardo), is now being looked at as thin when it comes […]
Brewers Solid Through 32 Games
At 18-14, and having won 16 of their last 21 games, the Milwaukee Brewers are quickly making their fans forget about their 3-8 start and have them thinking more about a return trip to the post-season. While it shouldn’t be overlooked that this team is 11-12 against teams above .500 and is 5-0 against Pittsburgh, […]
Baseball Reflections on the Brewers
Any preview of the 2009 Milwaukee Brewers will invariably contain the names CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets early and often. The two combined for 24 wins in 2008 and the run CC went on after his trade from Cleveland has been well documented. With the “workhorse” Sabathia now in New York, and the oft-injured Sheets […]
