Brewers elect not to bring Schoop back

By

Milwaukee Brewers GM David Stearns told reporters on Friday that the trade that brought Jonathan Schoop to Milwaukee for the final months of last season was a “bad deal”.

The Brewers weren’t willing to take a shot at arbitration with Schoop and didn’t offer him a deal for 2019.  It makes Schoop a free agent.

The Brewers also declined to make offers by the Friday deadline to left-handed relievers Dan Jennings and Xavier Cedeno.  They tendered contracts to all of their remaining arbitration-eligible players, including infielders Hernan Perez and Tyler Saladino.

Schoop played 46 games with the Brewers, but struggled.  He hit just four home runs and drove in 21 runs while striking out 41 times in 124 at-bats.  He earned $8.5 million last season and was projected to get around $10 million in his final year of arbitration.

The Brewers currently have 36 players on their 40-man roster, giving them some flexibility in free agency.

The Milwaukee Brewers blanked the Colorado Rockies 4-0 on Friday at Miller Park, and is now just one victory away from winning the series and advancing to the National League Championship Series.

Jhoulys Chacin, on short rest, pitched five shutout innings while striking out three and walking three.

It’s also the 10th straight win for the Brewers as the series now shifts to Coors Field in Denver for games three and four.

The Brewers had struggled with runners in scoring position in the first two games of the series, but they finally saw their luck change in the 8th.  With the bases loaded, Mike Moustakas singled to right to push their lead to 2-0.  Then, after Hernan Perez and Travis Shaw struck out, catcher Erik Kratz singled to score Braun and punch runner Orlando Arcia to make it 4-0.

Jeremy Jeffress, who had already worked the eighth, returned to pitch the ninth and lock down the victory.

The Brewers also got scoreless relief from Corey Knebel, Joakim Soria and Josh Hader.

Saturday is a workout day for both teams at Coors Field with game three set for 3:37 p.m. CT on Sunday.  Lefty Wade Miley (5-2, 2.57) will start for the Brewers in game three.  The Rockies will counter with German Marquez (14-11, 3.77).

Brewers throttled by Dodgers in series finale

By

The Milwaukee Brewers finished their eight game road trip out west with a 5-3 record and they’ll take it.  But they finished with two straight losses, including Thursday nights 21-5 blowout loss to the Dodgers.

The Dodgers had 18 hits and clubbed seven home runs.  Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin (10-4) gave up three of the long balls, allowing eight earned runs and not making it out of the fifth.

The 21 runs scored by the Dodgers is the most ever scored against a Brewers team.  With the hits and runs piling up, manager Craig Counsell once again went to a couple of position players to mop up, Hernan Perez and Erik Kratz.

The Brewers did score first after Christian Yelich doubled and eventually scored on a pair of wild pitches from Clayton Kershaw. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers were denied a four-game sweep following an 8-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park on Sunday.

The Milwaukee Brewers missed on a chance to sweep Washington, falling to the Nationals 7-3 at Miller Park on Wednesday afternoon.

22-year-old rookie Freddy Peralta walked the first batter he faced and that would be the start of his struggles.  Peralta finished with four walks and he hit a batter.  All five of those runners ended up scoring.

Bryce Harper clubbed a three-run homer, one of three Washington home runs on the day.

Peralta fell to 4-2 with a 3.74 ERA.

Offensively, the Brewers had no answer for Washington right hander Tanner Roark.  Roark was 3-12 with a 4.87 ERA, but held the Brewers to three hits over eight innings.  The Brewers didn’t score until Hernan Perez clubbed a three-run home run in the ninth off of reliever Sammy Solis.

The Brewers fell to 2 1/2 games behind the Cubs in the National League Central, after the Cubs beat Arizona 2-1 at Wrigley Field.

The Brewers also to 17-26 in day games this season.  They’re 41-20 at night.

Milwaukee opens an 8-game West Coast road trip against the Giants in San Francisco on Thursday night.  Wade Miley takes the mound for the Brewers, facing San Francisco’s Dereck Rodriguez.

 

Brewers suffer ugly loss in series finale with L.A.

Matt Kemp homered twice to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 11-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday at Miller Park.  The loss for the Brewers is their 9th in the last 11 games, as they dropped two of three in the series.

The Dodgers hit Brewers starter Brent Suter hard and continued their assault on reliever Taylor Williams.  Suter left after three innings with a left forearm strain, the same injury that landed him on the 10-day disabled list previously.  Manager Craig Counsell said Suter is headed back for another stint on the DL.

“It’s a really disappointing setback,” said Suter.  “I’m really disappointed for letting the team down today.  I didn’t pitch well and then I got hurt to boot.  It was just a real disappointing day.

Suter allowed six earned runs on eight hits.  His replacement, Taylor Williams allowed five runs, three of which were earned, in just one inning of work.  In two outings since the all-star break, Williams has allowed nine hits and seven runs (5 earned) in two innings. [Read more…]

Hernan Perez and Eric Thames clubbed solo home runs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-2 win in the rubber game of their three-game series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Wednesday.

Jonathan Villar’s RBI groundout in the fifth proved to be the difference.

Junior Guerra was called up from the minors and pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing a run on four hits for his first win of the season.  Matt Albers got the final two outs for his first save.

The Cardinals made it interesting in the ninth inning.  Trailing 3-1, Tommy Pham led off the inning with a solo home run off of Brewers left-handed reliever Josh Hader.  Hader then struck out Matt Carpenter before giving way to Albers.

Adam Wainwright gave up three runs in seven innings but fell to 0-2.  He entered the game with a 15-8 record and 2.31 ERA against the Brewers in his career.

The Cardinals played without starting catcher Yadier Molina who decided to accept the one-game suspension levied against him for his role in a skirmish with Arizona manager Torey Lovullo on Sunday.

The Brewers get Thursday off before opening a 3-game weekend series in New York against the red-hot Mets.  New York has won eight straight and entered the day on Thursday with a 10-1 record.
