Corey Knebel's Injury Sure Is A Bummer
Last night was a rough one for the Brewers. They got shut out by the Cubs at home. They made two ugly errors in a three-run inning. And they lost closer Corey Knebel, who took the mound for the ninth in a game where he wasn’t really needed and went down with a hamstring injury that’ll keep him out f...
Jon Lester's Weird One-Hop Pickoff Move Succeeds
Cubs pitcher Jon Lester’s complete and utter inability to successfully deliver a pickoff throw has been well-documented and exploited over the years, so he began trying something new in spring training this year: one-hopping the ball to first base.

The Brewers Have Once Again Ruined Poor Kato Kaelin
Some might say the 2017 Milwaukee Brewers, coming off a 73-89 season, were one of the pleasant surprises of this regular season.

The Brewers Hit Two Clutch Dingers To Stay In The Thick Of The Wild Card Chase
The Milwaukee Brewers are the losingest National League team to still be mathematically alive for the postseason, clinging to the very bottom rung of the Wild Card chase with just seven games to go.

Kato Kaelin Has Had It Up To Here With Brewers Reliever Jeremy Jeffress
Today is Jeremy Jeffress’s birthday. So far, it’s sucked.

At 6'3" and 250 pounds, Brewers first baseman Jesús Aguilar is a pretty big guy. As a direct result of this, just as you might suspect, he wears some pretty big pants. Here he is, wearing said big pants: ...
Study Finds Buying Brewers New Spring Training Park Will Lose Money, So Town Buries Study And Commissions Friendlier One
The Brewers want a new spring training park. Gilbert, Ariz., would like to give it to them. The stadium would cost $90 million; the Brewers offered to pay $20 million of that.

Nationals Sock Five Goddamn Dingers In Six At-Bats
