Brewers Make It Two Straight
Posted on 7 Apr 2011 by Scott Johnston.
A night after the Brewers got their first win of the season, they made it two in a row, with another 1-run win over the Atlanta Braves, 5-4. And just like last night’s win, this one was a nail-biter to the final out. Marco Estrada got the start for the Brew Crew filling in for an injured Zach Greinke and did just well enough to garner the first win of his major league career. Called up earlie...

Gallardo Dominate As Brewers Get First Win
Posted on 5 Apr 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Yovani Gallardo spun a 2-hitter and scored the games only run as the Milwaukee Brewers finally got their first win of the season, beating the Atlanta Braves, 1-0 at Miller Park. Gallardo was in complete control the entire night, as he faced jut one over the minimum in tossing the complete game gem. In the first inning, Nate McLouth hit a one out single, but was erased on a Chipper Jones double ...

Brewers, Once Healthy, Looking To Win In 2011
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Ready or not, Opening Day is here. For the Brewers, they could probably wait another week or two to get all their guys healthy, but the clock has ticked down to zero and it’s time to Play Ball. Things got off to a difficult start for the Brew Crew early in camp. Within days of each other, All-Star outfielder Corey Hart strained his left oblique, and then catcher Jonathan LuCroy broke his righ...

2011 MLB Preview: Looking at Ryan Braun and the Milwaukee Brewers on Paper
Posted on 29 Mar 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
For the last five seasons, the Brewers have always had a dangerous lineup, but the pitching hasn't always been there. They went out and traded for Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum. To go along with Yovani Gallardo and Randy Wolf, Milwaukee has one of the better rotations in the National League. The Brewers made the postseason in 2008 because they went out and got CC Sabathia before the trade d...

“The Greatest” Visits The Brewers
Posted on 10 Mar 2011 by Scott Johnston.
He’s simply known as “The Greatest.” And with that, one knows right away who the center of attention is. Muhammad Ali was always the center of attention, even in defeat. And today, while visiting the Milwaukee Brewers in Phoenix, AZ, despite being crippled by the disabling effects of Parkinson’s Disease, Ali is still at the center of attention. “His presence is just something that’s...

Prince Likes What He Sees
Posted on 8 Mar 2011 by Scott Johnston.
He’s the biggest guy on the field. Most definitely the loudest. And without a doubt, the one having the most fun. And why not. It’s a good time to be Prince Fielder. His Brewers are stacked offensively starting with Rickie Weeks at the top, Ryan Braun, Corey Hart and Prince in the middle, with a nice helping of Casey McGehee thrown in the mix. And now, they’ve added pitching to the mix. ...

Brewers And Weeks Get Deal Done
Posted on 17 Feb 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Today pitchers and catchers report in Phoenix, AZ for the Milwaukee Brewers. As good as that sounds, the news was even better yesterday, when the team and Rickie Weeks agreed on a 4-year extension through 2014 with an option for 2015 worth in excess of 50 million dollars. The team may be losing Prince Fielder at the end of this season if they can’t agree to a new deal with the slugging first ...

Brewers Bullpen Looks Positive
Posted on 29 Dec 2010 by Scott Johnston.
The news for the Brewers this off-season has been nothing but positive. Prince Fielder is still wearing a Milwaukee uniform. Zack Greinke and Shawn Marcum have both been acquired to help anchor a staff that should transform this team into a bona fide contender. The starting rotation is just about set, with Grienke, Marcum, Gallardo, Randy Wolf and most likely Chris Narveson rounding out the fiv...

Brewers Add An Ace
Posted on 20 Dec 2010 by Scott Johnston.
The Brewers have been asked repeatedly, “When are you going to trade Prince Fielder? Where is Prince going? Who are the Brewers going to get for Fielder?” On Saturday night, I think we got our answers: 1. Not anytime soon. 2. Nowhere. 3. Nothing. The Brewers shocked the baseball world and - instead of being sellers – became buyers. 2009 Cy Young Award-winner Zack Greinke has been ac...

Brew Crew Acquire Marcum
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Scott Johnston.
Often times, the deals that seem the biggest turn into flops and those that fly under the radar can go unnoticed. Then one day you’re sitting in your seat and there’s this new guy on your team and he’s doing really well (or really poorly, but let’s focus on the positive). Where'd he come from? Shawn Marcum is that guy. Unless you really follow baseball (and let’s be honest, you’re ...

Trading Royalty
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by Scott Johnston.
When a team has as disappointing of a season as the Brewers did in 2010, games become meaningless way before Labor Day arrives. The next meaningful days don’t happen until after we’ve finished that last piece of pumpkin pie, but before we start chugging down the eggnog. Those days are upon us, when rumors are flying around like UFO’s in a schizophrenic’s life. They come from out of nowh...

Meet the New Boss
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Scott Johnston.
The entire team was already in the clubhouse. All you could hear was the crack of the bat, and then, about three seconds later, the thud of the ball landing safely in the mitt. After arriving at the park between 6:30 and 7:00 am, having meetings until 9:30, doing drills for two hours, and then throwing batting practice, Angels coach Ron Roenicke and his son, Lance, were the last two out on the ...
