Travis Shaw Crushed The Hardest Dinger Of The Season So Far
Travis Shaw got things started for the Brewers in the first inning today with a monster three-run dong that flew into the second deck:...
Cubs Pitching Coach Comes Very Close To Accusing Eric Thames Of Juicing
The Cubs just wrapped a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, during which newly imported Brewers hitting sensation Eric Thames scored six runs and hit .545 with a home run. Thames has exploded onto the scene after spending a few years tearing up the KBO, and he looks like a completely di...
This Baseline-Hugging Kyle Schwarber Bunt Defied Logic And Somehow Stayed Fair
Chicago Cubs leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the first inning, with the Cubs trailing the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0, and laid down a perfect bunt to third. Seriously, no bunt has ever been so finely placed....
Eric Thames Won't Stop Crushing Big Dingers
Last we heard from Eric Thames, the former MLB washout who went to the KBO and flexed all over the league, there was cautious optimism that he could carry over some of his form to Milwaukee and maybe make the mustachioed Brewers mascot guy slide down the home run slide a few times in the major leagu...

Keon Broxton Hit In The Head By Pitch: Helmet Flap "Saved My Life"
Today’s Brewers-Rockies game got a bit frightening in the second inning when Keon Broxton was hit in the head by a pitch. The 92 mph fastball from Antonio Senzatela struck the outfielder squarely on the side flap of his helmet, taking him down instantly. (A slo-mo replay makes it appear that the pit...
Eric Thames Is Back In The U.S. And Ready To Mash Big Taters
Eric Thames never managed to stick in the majors. He got 633 at-bats between the Blue Jays and Mariners from 2011-12, hit a few dingers, and then went to play ball in Korea. There, he became a damn folk hero, winning the MVP award, becoming the first KBO player to join the 40-40 club, and just gener...
Brewers Reliever Sent To Triple-A: I'd Rather Have "A 9-To-5 Job Where I Get Treated Like A Human"<em></em>
After six years in the Brewers’ minor-league system, Tyler Cravy made his debut in the big leagues in 2015. It didn’t go especially well, and neither did his return last year. But the 27-year-old clearly thought he was sticking around after a decently strong spring training, with a 2.03 ERA over 11 ...
Matt Garza Shares Opinion On Birth Control, Continues To Be A Big Dumbass
For some goddamn reason, former teen dad, father of six, and Brewers pitcher Matt Garza is saying some shit about abstinence-only education on Twitter....
Remember When Prince Fielder Slapped An Inside-The-Park Home Run?
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Rangers will announce tomorrow that Prince Fielder is going to retire. Fielder had neck surgery a few weeks ago, and it’s apparently going to keep him from playing again. He will retire with 319 dingers, exactly the same amount as his father Cecil had in his career....
Jonathan Lucroy Has A Quirk When He Bats
Many MLB players have odd routines at the plate. Ichiro draws his bat out in front of himself like a bow. David Ortiz takes approximately five hours to adjust his gloves. Jonathan Lucroy touches his shoulders. The Brewers catcher’s habit isn’t as elaborate as others’, but it is amusing....
93-Year Old Brewers Fan Throws Out First Pitch
Better than 50 Cent!...
Puke Eating & Butt-Hat Licking: Yesterday In Disgusting Baseball Fan Behavior
This MLB season is not even a week old, yet fans are already resorting to the kind of boredom-reducing insane behavior we usually see in late September. Two separate incidents in Detroit and Milwaukee will, if you continue reading any further, probably ruin your appetite for the day. You’ve been war...
The Giants' Procession To The 2016 World Series Started With Back-To-Back-To-Back Dingers
It’s an even year, so the San Francisco Giants will win the 2016 World Series. Thank you to all the other teams for participating. Maybe next year! But not the one after that (we’re unclear what happens in 2020)....
Brewers Pitcher Will Smith Tore His Knee While Trying To Take Off His Shoes
Spring training is the worst time for a ballplayer to get injured, but for some reason, every spring training injury happens to be a very dumb injury. Last year, we had Michael Saunders stepping on a sprinkler head and tearing his meniscus, Scooter Gennett cutting his finger on a stray shampoo bottl...
Brewers OF Rymer Liriano Taken To Hospital After Fastball To The Face
Emergency personnel took Rymer Liriano to a Phoenix-area hospital after the Brewers outfielder took a Matt West fastball to the face during the Milwaukee-L.A. Dodgers spring training game today in Arizona....
Milwaukee Brewers Claim That Hank The Dog Did Not Die And Get Replaced By A Cooler Hank
The Milwaukee Brewers held a press conference today to address rumors of Hank the dog’s death. The team stated that despite a change in his appearance, Hank has not been replaced by a new dog at any point since the team found him at spring training in 2014....
Is Hank The Dog Dead?
He came to the Milwaukee Brewers’ spring training facility dirty, lost, and injured. He won the hearts of fans and became an unofficial mascot. But is the current Hank the dog we all adore the same Hank the dog from 2014?...
Brett Phillips's Laugh Remains The Best Thing In Baseball
Brett Phillips, the Brewers’ 21-year-old outfielder, won’t make the big club out of camp, though as one of the franchise’s better prospects, it wouldn’t be crazy to see him come up later this year. In the meantime he’s here to get better, and to show coaches what he can do, and maybe some other base...
Brewers Minor Leaguer Can't Stop His Ridiculous Laugh
We went over the best pictures from MLB Photo Day over here, but what Brewers prospect Brett Phillips did needs more than one frame....
