S4, E20: The Garrett Mitchell injury is devastating for a club that has relied on him heavily. How will they weather the storm? Will Sal Frelick be able to step in? What can Blake Perkins provide?
The Matt Bush blow-up outing caused Brewers' Twitter to revisit the Brewers' trade deadline strategy for relievers. After Bush, Rosenthal, Rogers, Norris, and Curtiss all failing, when will they adjust their strategy?
The Brewers' defense has been the best in baseball. What is behind this? Can they keep it up? And how much of an impact can a good defense make on a team like the Brewers?

S4, E19: The biggest news of the young season came last week when Brandon Woodruff told reporters he would miss significant time. Are the Brewers capable of handling the loss of one of the best pitchers in baseball?
What can we make of the hot start? We find 3 more positives along with 3 negatives.
With Craig Counsell passing Phil Garner to become the franchise leader in games managed, where does he rank among Brewers' managers? And will he be back next year?

S4, E18: The Brewers are firing on all cylinders, which has us thinking... Is this the most talented Brewers' team ever? We dive into that.
What impact could the prospects play beyond just their on-field production? Could they improve even the play of the veterans.
What are some meaningful stats we can gather from the early going? We know the Brewers aren't going to have 4 9+ WAR players, but what are some numbers that actually mean something?
And how will the Brewers be able to handle the loss of Aaron Ashby?

S4, E17: Luis Urias went down with a hamstring injury on Opening Day, opening the door for Joey Wiemer's recall. We discuss why losing Urias is a big loss.We go over some takeaways from the Brewers' successful first weekend at Wrigley, including the rookies and the newcomers.What can we reasonably expect from Joey Wiemer in his first taste of the Big Leagues? All-Star caliber player? Bench option?
Finally, should coaches wear uniform numbers? Big question, big answers.

S4, E15: Some pretty big news came out of Brewers' camp yesterday when Keston Hiura was informed he will not make the Brewers' Opening Day roster. Where do the Brewers go from here? Did they make a mistake in letting him go?
Along with Hiura, Tyler Naquin was informed he will not make the roster, leaving room for either Sal Frelick or Joey Wiemer. Which one will make the Opening Day roster as the everyday right fielder?
What is the latest on Luke Voit? There has not been any news over the past day, so it's possible they could be working out a trade involving him.
And finally, we give our final Opening Day roster prediction.

S4, E14: The Brewers have a roster crunch with some playing time available in the outfield. How will they use that playing time? Sal Frelick and Joey Wiemer could end up taking some of it, as soon as Opening Day.
The WBC has produced endless drama, but how are the Brewers performing in it? We recorded this just before Urias's big HR, but he and Rowdy have helped Team Mexico greatly.
The battles in camp are coming to a close soon, so who will emerge as the frontrunners to take those spots? Javy Guerra or Gus Varland? Is Bryse Wilson in danger of not making the team?
And finally, the Brewers finally released a good YouTube video about their prospects. We react to that.

S4, E11: The Corbin Burnes arbitration case sent fans into great despair, but behind it is an issue that's much deeper - their lack of identity. If the players leave, will the fans leave too?
I wrote about this on our brand new Substack!
- On Corbin Burnes, Sustained Winning, and a Franchise's Identity
- Are the Brewers Better Going into '23 than '22?
We discuss the World Baseball Classic, including my favorite participant, Wei-Chung Wang.
Is it time for the Brewers to make a uniform change again? Will it be with an ad patch?

S4, E10
The Brewers took Corbin Burnes to arbitration, and it may have backfired on them. But did they know this might happen all along, and decide to take him to arbitration anyways? It's possible. What does this mean for his future, and the Brewers'?
David made an acrostic poem about recent acquisition Brian Anderson, so he shares that.
Lastly, how might the injuries to Aaron Ashby and Jason Alexander impact the club?

S4, E9: Today we brought on our longtime friend and former editor/producer, Caleb Kassulke, to join us for a draft of Brewer things. We draft anything from the Barrelman to Wei-Chung Wang Wednesdays, and some things Bob Uecker seems to always say on his broadcasts. This was a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy!

S4, E8: The Brewers finally dipped into the free agent pool, inking former Brewer Wade Miley to a one-year deal. Was this the right move to make given the Brewers' already strong staff? And how might the rotation addition actually help the bullpen more?
The Brewers also sent right-hander Justin Topa to Seattle for an intriguing arm, Joseph Hernandez. What might the Brewers have on their hands in Hernandez, and should they have already given up on Topa?

S4, E7: MLB is set to make more rule changes this coming season than ever before, implementing a pitch clock with limited pickoffs, limits on defensive shifts, bigger bases, and a more balanced schedule. Among the storylines we'll be analyzing and following:
-
Garrett Mitchell stealing 50+ bags
-
A Christian Yelich resurgence
-
A Rowdy offensive breakout
-
Only 1 NL Central Postseason team because of the more balanced schedule
Also, Lorenzo Cain and Jonathan Lucroy each announced their retirements from the game in the past year, so we take a look at what the two meant to Milwaukee, and how we should remember their illustrious careers.

The Brewers also brought in Milwaukee native Owen Miller over the past week. Have they found their Jace Peterson replacement?
Lastly, are the Brewers already better now than they were a year ago?

Who will fill the void created by Wong? What do the Brewers have in Winker, and will he be a clubhouse cancer like it was reported? Can they trust Toro to take over at 3B with Urias sliding over to 2B?

What will change within the organization in its strategy, player acquisitions, and player development?
Will Stearns soon leave for New York?
What were Stearns's best and worst moves?
Where does he rank in terms of best GMs in franchise history? What is his legacy?

We take a look at what went right and what went wrong this season, from Corbin Burnes to the late season collapse.

S3, E28: The Brewers lost 3 of 4 to the Marlins, all but clinching a Postseason berth for the Phillies in the process. What went wrong? Did they inflict this upon themselves?
Does it even matter if they make the Playoffs? Yeah, they need a sweep and the Phillies to get swept, but still. Would they have a shot at winning the World Series?
And lastly, what do we have to look for in the offseason? Big losses or big additions, trades and signings, roster overhaul or largely stand pat.

S3, E27: The Brewers dropped an important series from the Mets before salvaging the week with a series win in Cincinnati. They're now just 1.5 GB of the Phillies, but running out of time with just 10 games left in the regular season. Do they have another Postseason berth in store?
The bullpen has been nothing short of a liability, blowing late leads in a manner Brewer fans are not used to. Devin Williams has continued to be himself, but which other late-inning relievers can the Brewers trust? Matt Bush? Taylor Rogers? Peter Strzelecki??
If the Brewers do make it to the Postseason, will it be because of the offense or the pitching? Believe it or not, the hitting has performed better this year than the pitching.
And as always, a Colin Walsh name drop.

S3, E26: The Brewers finally are starting to play good baseball, winning 7 of their last 10 including a 2-game split with the Cardinals and series win over the mighty Yankees. Heading into the home stretch with 2.5 weeks left, do they have enough life in them to overtake the underperforming Padres or floundering (phloundering) Phillies?
Does Craig Counsell leave pitchers in too long? It seems the bullpen blows the games when he should've left the starter in, but that may just be human bias. Is he making the right call?
And it's time to stop playing Andrew McCutchen, we can all agree on that. Well, maybe.

MLB announced a series of rule changes, how might they affect the game and specifically the Brewers? Included are a pitch clock, limits on shifting, and a rule on pickoffs that could be bigger than the rest of the rules.
Also, should the Brewers fly Wild Card flags at the ballpark?

How could they have done that better? Note: we recognize the Cold Brew Podcast had done this previously, we did this separately and without knowledge of them doing it prior.
Should the Brewers aim for 2023 already? They're struggling and not looking like a Playoff team. What would that look like?
And how do they stack up against the Cardinals and Phillies, the primary teams they're battling with? Do they even stand a chance?

Garrett Mitchell was recalled in a surprising move on Saturday. The former UCLA star brings plus speed and solid CF defense, but what else can we expect him to bring to the table? Could we see another prospect move in the next week?
Craig Counsell is the longest tenured manager in the National League but some of his moves have been questionable lately. Bullpen management and pulling Freddy at 82 pitches during a no-hitter are among the complaints fans have had regarding the 8th year Brewers' manager. Is it simply time to move on?

We spend time discussing:
The Josh Hader trade, its short and long-term impacts on the club, and what we can expect out of Esteury Ruiz and Robert Gasser.
The acquisitions of Matt Bush and Trevor Rosenthal, and the prospects traded in the deals.
The success of the Brewers' 2022 draft; who should we be excited about?
What we can expect long-term out of Brewers' top prospect Jackson Chourio.
The Brewers' upper-level prospect quartet of Brice Turang, Sal Frelick, Joey Wiemer, and Garrett Mitchell.

S3, E19: The Brewers stumbled into the break before bouncing back in the first three games of a set with the Rockies. The holes are clear - bats (CF especially), and relievers. We looked at center fielders last time, so today we look at some of the options they have as relievers.
What would it take to acquire an All-Star like Joe Mantiply with team control, or the emergent Matt Moore down in Texas?
We give our first half awards, with many of them being given to the random guys nobody could have predicted. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

With the Brewers sitting in 1st place, 8 games over .500, have they had a successful first half? We grade each aspect of the team, starters and relievers, offense and defense, and then give an overall grade.
Should Keston be traded? While not a prospect, rebuilding clubs would be interested in bringing in a young, high-upside bat. It might be too much for the Brewers to part with him, or will it? We go through pros and cons, likelihood, and who would benefit from a Keston trade.

S3, E17: The Brewers' Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader were deservedly named All-Stars on Sunday. Devin Williams was snubbed, we make the case why.
We spend much of our time discussing who the Brewers' 4 best trade options are to boost the lineup and their outfield in CF. Will David Stearns go after one of the Wal-Mart caliber, Kirkland Signature, CVS, K-Mart? Which prospects will the Brewers need to part with?
Should the Brewers try to be decent for awhile, or really good for a few years? We also analyze David Stearns's wonderful analogy about apples.
Lastly, the Brewers have been hit with some bad luck on their batted balls. Will we see an improvement in the offense in the second half, even with no significant changes?

With midsummer coming up, we're coming up on All-Star and trade season. Who might be the Brewers' All-Stars beyond Burnes and Hader? Willy? Devin?
And where should the Brewers target upgrades on the roster? The relief corps has had their fair share of struggles, but the offense has still struggled as of late.

With the lack of production from Yelich, Cutch, and Cain, it seems they might not have the pieces to make a deep run in October.

Many topics for a team with many wins, as they're off to their best start in franchise history through 40 games (26-14), but that might not bode well for their postseason hopes.

And lastly, we predict our Brewers' season win total, playoff results, and team awards.

S3, E7: Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff headline an outstanding rotation and Josh Hader puts the final touch on games at the back end of the bullpen, but in between them do the Brewers have the best pitching staff in baseball 1-13? A lot of arms have flown under the radar to this point, but it's time they gain recognition.
Today's episode features us looking at some of the higher profile pitchers, appreciating them and seeing how they can repeat their success, as well as why we're excited to watch some less heralded names like Trevor Gott and J.C. Mejia.

S3, E6: The owners ended their lockout of the players this past week after 99 days, bringing players to Spring Training to prepare for the 2022 season. Their new agreement includes things such as changes in the playoff structure, universal DH, pitch clock, among others, so we break down the CBA agreement so you don't have to read the 180 page document.
We also look at how these rule changes could impact the Brewers, and what their strategy might be in these last few weeks of the offseason.

S3, E5: In today's episode we break down what role the Brewers' top 2 pitching prospects, Ashby and Small, could have on the Crew in 2022. Starter or reliever, AAA or the Majors, there are a lot of ways the Brewers could opt to continue the later stages of their development.
We also take a deep dive into the Brewers' offseason acquisitions up to this point, notably Hunter Renfroe along with a few bench pieces and relievers that we'll see in a Brewers uniform this season (hopefully).

Keith Law of the Athletic released his Top 100 prospects, Top 20 Brewers' prospects, and overall farm system rankings. Where do the Brewers stand in their farm system, who could we see this year up in Milwaukee, and do they have enough talent to supplement an already great roster?

S3, E3: Big Papi was elected in his first cycle on the Hall of Fame ballot, but that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Hall of Fame and the controversy surrounding it this year. Should Bonds and Clemens have been elected? What about Schilling? And will we ever see A-Rod or Manny in Cooperstown alongside their contemporary Big Papi? There are so many questions around the HoF so we brought on a guest, Will Glover, better known as @piddle on TikTok, to see what he has to say.

S3, E2: In today's episode we cap off our all-time team with five of the greatest in franchise history. Hint: Robin Yount barely made it.
Then we come back to the present where we introduce the non-roster players on the team who are seeking to be the next Brad Boxberger or Jake Cousins, some of whom will be in Big League camp. We draft teams to see who will have more Major League playing time. Former successful Big Leaguers like David Dahl and Rex Brothers, intriguing arms like Connor Sadzeck and Hobie Harris, and more are among the guys we break down.

We take you through it all in our Brewers' History Lesson series, today being the first part.

We break down how we got there and where his trajectory will take him. The Brewers also recently acquired two bench pieces, Pedro Severino and Mike Brosseau. How will they factor into the Brewers' plans for 2022?
Who should the Brewers target in free agency this year? Nick Castellanos? Mark Canha? Others?

Can they try to add a corner bat, or should they target the bullpen? There are many questions entering the offseason regarding who the Brewers already have, and we answer many of them as we look ahead into the offseason.
Also, which players are eligible for the Hall of Fame via the veterans committee? Who is worthy of induction? We take a look at some of the great careers of Buck O'Neil, Dick Allen, and many more.

The trade deadline is this Friday at 3 P.M. Can we expect the Brewers to pull the plug on a big move that could bolster their WS chances?
And did we just see a preview of the World Series? Two great pitching staffs and dynamic offenses squaring off led to a great series victory for the Brewers, but is this just a preview of what's to come?

How does Rowdy Tellez fit into the Brewers' plans? Should they still go after another first baseman? We were pretty optimistic about the Brewers going into the season, but did even the two of us see them as 95 game winners? How are we doing on our predictions? MVP Ohtani? All-Star Freddy? Who was the first half MVP for the Brewer, and will they keep the pace up?

The Brewers made the biggest trade of the season so far, dealing quality young relievers JP Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen in exchange for shortstop Willy Adames and pitcher Trevor Richards. What should we make of the trade for the Brewers? And how do they each fit into the Brewers’ plans? How does it affect the way they might use Urías or Shaw? It’s a big trade that sparks a lot of questions, but could be good for the Brewers in the long run.

Milwaukee, aka the bobblehead capital of the world, is going to be home to some great giveaways this summer. Listen to us as we detail them and break down our favorites.

S2, E13: The Brewers had a dramatic week against Chicago, primarily with Willson Contreras leaning into hit by pitches. That led us to think... who are our least favorite players across Major League Baseball? Could tension boil over into this weekend's series with the Cubs and a fight break out on the field? Also, a tough series in Pittsburgh didn't help the Brewers, but thankfully it is still early. What do the bullpen roles look like, and are the Brewers a better team now than they were before the season started?

Also, is Ohtani the best two-way guy since Babe Ruth or are we forgetting someone in the middle? With Braun potentially headed toward retirement, should they retire his number, or the number of another Brewers' icon? We just turned our mics on today and had a conversation. It was great; we wandered from topic to topic and covered a lot.

S2, E10: Heading into Opening Day this week, we take our final look at a Brewers' positional group, the relievers. With Hader, Williams, Suter, Yardley, Topa, and Rasmussen along with a few more young arms, the Brewers are loaded with quality arms in the bullpen. Will it be enough to propel them into the postseason, or even deep into the postseason? What we do know is they have an excellent collection of arms, and we break it down right here.

S2, E9: The Brewers' rotation may be the strongest aspect of the ballclub, boasting a number of quality arms. Woodruff and Burnes were Cy Young candidates last year, will they be again? Are they the best 1-2 punch at the top of a rotation in all of baseball? We also break down the broadcasting changes, including the return of Vinny Rottino and Tim Dillard. Have they found Uecker's replacement? If you’d like to support our podcast, we’d greatly appreciate!

S2, E8: The Brewers brought in Gold Glover Kolten Wong to man second base, but outside of the keystone there are many questions. Will Keston Hiura be able to handle first base? How will Urias fare in his first season at shortstop? Will Travis Shaw get the majority of the at bats at third base, and if so then how will Arcia factor in? You have questions, we have answers on today's episode.

S2, E7: The Brewers brought in the top free agent remaining in Jackie Bradley Jr. Was this a good signing, or should they have saved their money rather than signing the defensive stalwart? How does he factor in with the rest of the outfield? We also take a look at a possible Yelich return to form, Garcia bounce back, and how Cain might do after opting out this year. We break out our brand new projection system to look at how these three, along with Bradley Jr. might do in the Brewers' blue and yellow this season.

We spend the majority of the episode looking at what is shaping up to be an intriguing season league-wide. Are the Padres legit, and are the White Sox the favorites now in the Central? How do the Brewers look in an ugly NL Central? These and more questions answered on today's episode!

S2, E5: The Brewers brought back a couple familiar names, but where do Travis Shaw and Brett Anderson fit into the Brewers plans this year?

S2, E4: Kolten Wong is a Brewer! The Brewers finally make a move to bolster their roster heading into the 2021 campaign, and it’s the top defensive second baseman and former divisional foe. Was the Wong signing the right move to make for a cash-strapped Crew? How will he fit in with the thin crop of position players? Will Hiura be able to handle first base in light of the move?
This takes the Brewers out of the running for Justin Turner, right? Reports have surfaced that they’re still interested in Turner, and first baseman/right fielder Shin-Soo Choo. Does this mean Ryan Braun’s career is all but over?
And lastly, how does the Brewers’ current roster stack up against their division rivals? Are the Cardinals now the team to beat? What can we make of the Cubs sans Darvish, Lester, and Schwarber? We cover a lot in today’s episode, from the biggest offseason move to the low-profile Blaine Hardy acquisition.

S2, E3: The Brewers lost two legends over the past week or two, sending the baseball world into mourning for two great players and men, the HR King and one of the top right-handed pitchers of all-time. We take a look back at their storied careers and lives, and what should the Brewers do to honor them? The signage changed at AmFam Field, will there be another name change involving one of their former stars? Arenado the Cards, could the Brewers counter by acquiring a star of their own? And will the season start on time? Spoiler: we're still not sure but there is new information.

The Brewers have been quiet so far, but did one move just catapult them to the top of the division? Much to the chagrin of fans, gone is Miller Park, in is American Family Field as the Brewers' home field. Also, it's always worth a listen when Jeff Suppan comes up in conversation.

S1, E30: Today is the season finale of our first season covering our Milwaukee Brewers! Thank you all for supporting us along the way and we'd greatly appreciate if you continue to support us by listening. Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro, who started his career in Milwaukee and credits his breakout to a young catcher named Bob Uecker, passed away Sunday at the age of 81. We analyze his outstanding career. With the transfer coming in the oval office, what are the best and worst tweets Trump has made about baseball? A-Rod having bad hips? Rich Hill taken out too early?
We also discuss how a trade of an NL Central foe could affect the Brewers in 2021, with Josh Bell being dealt to Washington.

Corey Knebel was traded to the Dodgers, but could another former Dodger be headed to Milwaukee? A pair of lower profile FA signings were brought in, while some role players were retained, and some were non-tendered. We recap a big week of Brewers news, while also looking ahead at this week’s virtual Winter Meetings.

Corbin Burnes and Devin Williams could take home some hardware this year? Tony Graffanino, Joe Dillon, Matt Wise, and Elmer Dessens are mentioned… what an episode.

S1, E12: A tough week in Minnesota and Pittsburgh exposed the lack of consistency in the offense, dropping 5 of 6 to the two opponents. They return home this week to face Cincinnati and Pittsuburgh, hoping to get things back on track in advance of the 8/31 trade deadline. We discuss Brock Holt's questionable DFA and the debuts of Angel Perdomo and Drew Rasmussen, also. Many of the Brewers' key performers from last year took their talents elsewhere, so we check up on how each member of the 2019 Crew is doing in new threads, with the best all as members of the San Diego Padres. At 28:30 in the podcast, I give the backstory on how I got to participate in one of former Brewer Tim Dillard's comedic videos, an awesome experience.

Braun was placed on the IL over the weekend, leaving an opening at DH as well. 2 of 3 from the Pirates before dropping last night to the White Sox, Cardinals' series postponed... the season hasn't exactly started how we might have hoped but there are still many takeaways and exciting aspects of the young season. Also, the Cubs are still overrated. Be sure to check out our blog at bleedingblueandyellow.wordpress.com, and remember to subscribe, rate, and review our podcast!

Today is the second installment of a four-part series previewing each aspect of the Brewers' roster. The bullpen doesn't get much love from national pundits analyzing the Crew's roster, however they have collected a solid crop of arms to fill out the relief corps. Hader and Knebel will lock down the back end roles, with Suter, Phelps, and Claudio holding down the fort as middle relievers. Beyond that, there is lots of intrigue among the arms, including... Eric Yardley? Stay tuned for part three of this series previewing the catchers and infielders, releasing in the coming days.
