Brewers add pitcher from Korean League

December 12, 2019 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers added right-handed pitcher Josh Lindblom from the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) on Wednesday.

The two sides agreed to a three-year deal, guaranteeing $9.125 million to the 32-year-old Lindblom.  He pitched the last five seasons in the KBO.

Lindblom was used primarily as a reliever in the Major Leagues, but he switched to a starter in Korea.  Lindblom went 20-3 with a 2.50 ERA in 30 starts last season.  Londblom was named the most valuable player in the league for his performance.

Overall, Lindblom was 35-7 with a 2.68 ERA in 56 starts in the KBO.

The Brewers are looking for starting pitching help after losing Jordan Lyles and Gio Gonzalez to free agency and the trades of Zach Davies and Chase Anderson.

Lindblom was a second-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers out of Purdue in 2008 and spent time in the majors with the Dodgers, Phillies, Rangers, A’s and Pirates.

The Milwaukee Brewers exercised club options for $8.5 million on pitcher Chase Anderson and $7.5 million on first baseman Eric Thames on Monday.  They traded Anderson to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league 1B/OF Chad Spanberger.  They payed a $1 million buyout to Thames.

The Brewers also exercised an option on catcher Manny Pina for $1.85 million for 2020.

The moves clear around $15 million off the books for the coming season.

Anderson went 8-4 with a 4.21 ERA over 139 innings last season.  He spent four seasons with the Brewers, going 38-27 with a 3.83 ERA in 118 games (112 starts).

The 24-year-old Spanberger has hit 59 home runs in 305 minor-league games, including 13 homers and [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers announced their postseason award winners today as selected by a panel from the Milwaukee Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA).

The Milwaukee Brewers clinched a wildcard playoff spot on Wednesday night.  After celebrating the victory, they got up Thursday morning and beat the Reds again, this time 5-3.  The Brewers kept pace with Washington for the top wildcard spot and moved to within a game of the idle Cardinals in the Central Division.

With three games to play, the Brewers are hoping to keep winning and get the Cardinals to slip up in the division.  St. Louis closes with three home games against the struggling Cubs.  The Brewers finish with three games in Colorado against the Rockies. [Read more…]

Brewers clinch second straight post season playoff berth (AUDIO)

September 26, 2019 By Bill Scott

It’ll go down as a September to remember.  The Milwaukee Brewers clinched at least a wildcard playoff spot for the second straight year, capping things off with a 9-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark on Wednesday night.

It’s the 6th straight win, the 17th in the last 19 games and a 19-4 month of September for the Brewers, who came from five-games behind the Chicago Cubs in the National League wildcard race.  They also did it after losing Christian Yelich to a season ending knee injury, improving to 12-2 since losing their MVP.

The division leading Cardinals lost again on Wednesday as the Brewers climbed to within a game and a half of St. Louis.  If the Brewers can win today, they’ll move to within a game of the Cardinals, who have the day off.  The Brewers also trail the Nationals by one-game in the chase for the top wildcard spot.

Grisham leads Brewers past Marlins

September 10, 2019 By Bill Scott

Trent Grisham finished a home run shy of the cycle, going 5-for-6 and driving in two runs, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 8-3 win over the Marlins in Miami.

Yasmani Grandal clubbed a two-run homer and Lorenzo Cain had three hits and drove in a run for the Brewers, who extended their winning streak to four games.

Grisham started the night hitting just .222.  Five hits later and his average climbed to .260.

Matt Albers got the final two outs of the fifth to get the victory in relief.

The Brewers couldn’t make up any ground on the Cubs in the Wild Card race.  The Cubs knocked off the San Diego Padres 10-2 to stay two-games in front of the Brewers.

Miguel Rojas went 3-for-5 with two RBI for Miami.  Ryan Duggar was the first of nine Marlins pitchers and took the loss.  Miami has dropped three of their last four games.

Chase Anderson pitches game two of the series for the Brewers on Tuesday night.

Thames powers Brewers past Astros

September 4, 2019 By Bill Scott

Eric Thames

Eric Thames’ three-run homer capped a four-run third inning and the Milwaukee Brewers went on to double up the Astros 4-2 at Miller Park.  Thames homer came off of Houston starter Zach Greinke.  Ryan Braun’s RBI single tied it at one for the Brewers, before Thames long ball.

Jordan Lyles continued his strong performance on the mound, throwing 6 1/3 innings.  Drew Pomeranz followed with  1 2/3 innings of solid relief before Josh Hader finished up in the 9th for his 28th save.

Lyles (10-8), surrendered six hits, struck out two and didn’t issue a walk.  His ERA in seven starts for the Brewers, dropped to 2.56.

With the Brewers leading 4-1 in the sixth, Houston’s Alex Bregman clubbed a solo homer to center to make it 4-2 to close out the scoring.

The Brewers have the day off on Wednesday before opening a crucial four-game series against the Chicago Cubs at Miller Park on Thursday night.  Chase Anderson is scheduled to face Jose Quintana in the series opener. [Read more…]

Tough day for Brewers pitching staff

August 19, 2019 By Bill Scott

Less than 24 hours after giving up 14 runs and winning in 14 innings, the Brewers needed a solid starting pitching performance to help with a worn out pitching staff.  They didn’t get the performance they were looking for, falling to the Washington Nationals 16-8 on Sunday.

Washington tied a franchise record by belting eight home runs.  Brewers starter Chase Anderson gave up 10 of those runs while not making it out of the third inning (2 1/3 innings).

The Nationals jumped out to a 13-0 lead, clubbing five of their eight home runs during that stretch.

It was a surprise that Anderson couldn’t hold the Nationals in check.  In three August outings, Anderson posted a 1.86 ERA and has been rock solid since the all-star break. [Read more…]

Josh Hader File Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI

Josh Hader surrendered a home run for the 13th time this season, in just 52 2/3 innings and the Minnesota Twins came from behind to knock off the Milwaukee Brewers 7-5 at Miller Park on Tuesday night.

Marwin Gonzalez was first pitch swinging in the 8th, taking a poorly located Hader fastball and depositing it over the wall in left-center field.  It was the sixth home run allowed by Hader in 12 2/3 innings since the all-star break.

Hader had allowed just nine home runs in 81 1/3 innings all of last season.

The Brewers had just taken the lead in the 7th inning by scoring four runs to go up 5-4.  Christian Yelich drove in a run with a double and Yasmani Grandal capped it with a  three-run homer.  It was Grandal’s 20th of the season, but his first since July 6. [Read more…]

Yelich powers Brewers past Pirates

Christian Yelich clubbed his league leading 38th and 39th home runs of the season, helping the Milwaukee Brewers knock off the Pittsburgh Pirates
9-7 in Pittsburgh on Monday night.

The second of Yelich’s home runs landed in the Allegheny River.

Rookie Trent Grisham got another start and drove in three runs, while Mike Moustakas also homered in the win.

Jordan Lyles picked up his sixth win of the year, pitching five innings against his former team as the Brewers ended their four-game losing streak.

Bryan Reynolds stole Moustakas’ first bid for a homer in the second at the left field wall, and then homered in the fourth for the Pirates.  Pablo Reyes hit a pinch-hit homer in the fifth and Kevin Newman added a bases clearing 3-run double in the eighth.  The Pirates have now lost three straight.

The Brewers didn’t gain any ground on the first place Cubs, who also beat Oakland 6-5 on Monday night.  But they did climb to within 1 1/2 games of second place St. Louis after the Cardinals were blanked by the L.A. Dodgers 8-0.

Game two of the series is tonight.  Chase Anderson gets the start for the Brewers.

Davies to the IL

The Brewers now have a third starting pitcher on the injured list.  Zach Davies is on the 10-day IL with back spasms.  Davies joins fellow starters Brandon Woodruff and Jhoulys Chacin, who are dealing with oblique injuries.
