Grandal signs four year deal with the White Sox

November 21, 2019 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers will be looking for a new starting catcher after last seasons starter, Yasmani Grandal, agreed to a four-year deal with the Chicago White Sox worth $73 million.  It’s the largest deal in White Sox history.

Grandal signed a one-year deal with the Brewers last season, worth $18.25 million.  He gets the same figure with the White Sox per season, but a four-year deal instead of just one.

Grandal played in 153 games with 124 starts as a catcher.  He hit .246 with 28 home runs and 77 RBI.  His 109 walks were second in the National League.  Grandal finished with a .380 on-base percentage and .848 OPS.

The Brewers have Manny Pina but the 32-year-old is considered primarily as a backup.  It will likely leave them searching for catching help in free agency or through a trade.

Brewer bats go silent in loss to White Sox

June 4, 2018 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers lost the rubber match of their weekend series with the White Sox 6-1 in Chicago on Sunday.

Daniel Palka and Adam Engel clubbed back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning as the White Sox scored six unanswered runs to pull out the win.

The Brewers scored their only run when Manny Pina scored on an error to take a 1-0 lead.

Former Brewers draft pick Dylan Covey struck out seven batters over five innings, but Chris Volstad was credited with the victory.

The White Sox took two of three in the series to improve to 18-38.

Brent Suter gave up two runs in five innings and suffered the loss.  They’re 37-23 and have a two-game lead on the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.

The Brewers scored just nine runs in the three games and went 0 for 16 with runners in scoring position in the series.

The Brewers are off today and open a short two-game series in Cleveland against the Indians on Tuesday night.  Junior Guerra (3-3, 2.65) will pitch for the Brewers.  Corey Kluber (8-2, 2.02) will get the series opening start for the Indians.

Brewers pull off a minor deal with the Yankees

July 13, 2017 By Bill Scott

With the division rival Chicago Cubs pulling off a sizeable deal with the crosstown Chicago White Sox today, the Milwaukee Brewers didn’t necessarily match it, but they made a deal of their own none-the-less.

The Brewers sent Triple (A) first baseman Garrett Cooper to the Yankees, acquiring left-handed reliever Tyler Webb in return.

The Brewers will decide before they return to action tomorrow night whether  to add Webb to their bullpen or assign him to Colorado Springs.  The Brewers have a roster spot available after putting starter Junior Guerra on the 10-day DL with a bruised shin.

Webb pitched twice against the Brewers last weekend in New York and seven times for the Yankees this season, posting a 4.50 ERA over six innings.  He [Read more…]

Check out Harry Caray documentary tonight

February 3, 2016 By Bill Scott

Harry Caray

Harry Caray

A colleague of mine, Bill Pollock from Missourinet.com put together this preview piece on longtime baseball announcer Harry Caray.  Enjoy!

Mention Harry Caray’s name and most people now will associate Will Ferrell’s horrible imitation with the great broadcaster.  Perhaps you may even be saying to yourself, why do we have an article on Missourinet.com on a former Cubs announcer?  Ahh, young one you have much to learn.

Caray got his baseball broadcasting start at KMOX in St. Louis calling Cardinals game in 1945 until 1969.  After one season in Oakland, Caray moved onto the Southside of Chicago and became the White Sox TV announcer until 1982 when he took over the Cubs’ calls on WGN until his death following the 1997 season.

This month marks the 18th anniversary of Caray’s death.  His life and career will be covered in MLB Network’s documentary series, “MLB Network Presents.” The premiere of the one-hour “Holy Cow! The Story of Harry Caray” airs tonight at 8 p.m. CT.

Here’s a clip of Caray calling Stan Musial’s final at-bat.

“Holy Cow” includes interviews with Braves broadcaster and Harry’s grandson, Chip Caray, and Harry’s widow, Dutchie Caray, plus baseball broadcasters Joe Buck, Bob Costas, Pat Hughes, Tim McCarver, Steve Stone and Rick Sutcliffe.

“He was just a really good baseball announcer,” Buck said in the film as reported by MLB.com. “I think that kind of gets lost in the creation that’s been this Harry Caray character.”

Watch tonight, you’ll gain an appreciation for just how good the man was at his craft.
