Milwaukee right-hander Mark Rogers made his sixth start on Sunday since his late-July recall from Brewers Triple-A affiliate Nashville — and, while he was slightly less impressive yesterday (5.0 IP, 4.66 xFIP) than in previous outings, Rogers both (a) allowed zero runs (which is kinda the best nu...

Most valuable players through Brewers history
In the short history of the Milwaukee Brewers, there have been a handful of solid performances in baseball's smallest market. This year, Ryan Braun looks on pace to put together one of the best, similar to his MVP season of 2011. But how good is Braun's performance this year in comparison to the rest of Brewers' lore?
With just three MVP's in the history of the franchise...
Braun, Ramirez, Hart order up the hits
MILWAUKEE Ryan Braun's ninth-inning home run towered over the crowd at Wrigley Field as it exploded off of his bat and onto Waveland Ave., out of the Chicago ballpark. Four hundred and four feet off his bat with the wind blowing in, Braun's moonshot would be tough for anyone in baseball to replicate.
"It's Ryan Braun," joked fellow outfielder Carlos Gomez...
Marcum fills important role in Brewers rotation
MILWAUKEE There's no telling what would have happened if elbow tightness hadn't derailed Shaun Marcum for more than two months of his season.
His name had been brought up as a trade possibility -- an expiring contract that could provide good value for a contender's stretch run. He's still being named as a waiver trade possibility. And for good reason: before Marcum...
Responsibility helps Gomez reach potential
MILWAUKEE For the six years he's been in the major leagues, Carlos Gomez's career has been marked by potential.
A potential five-tool player, Gomez's expectations had always been sky-high. He was a premium defender, they said. He had the power to anchor a lineup, some even thought.
And for so long, with those expectations levied on him, Gomez struggled to make his...

The Milwaukee Brewers have been one of the biggest disappointments of the 2012 season, underperforming expectations that had them contending for back-to-back divisional crowns in the mediocre NL Central. The bullpen imploded in spectacular fashion, Alex Gonzalez suffered a season-ending knee injury early on, Zack Greinke is now pitching in Los Angeles, and Shaun Marcum threw for...

The Milwaukee Brewers proved to be spoilers for Cubs fans at Wrigley filed on Monday night, as Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramirez and Corey Hart hit three consecutive home runs in the ninth inning.
The Cubs entered the ninth with a two run lead, only to finish the game on the short end of a 15 to 4 romp. The nine-run ninth inning began with a there-run blast off the bat of reigning NL MVP...

Lucroy looks to lead Brewers bats at Wrigley
Chicago Cubs starter Justin Germano believes he pitched better than the box score would indicate after he gave up seven runs to the Milwaukee Brewers in his last outing.
He will get another chance to prove he can fare well against the Brewers when these NL Central rivals open a four-game set Monday night at Wrigley Field.
Milwaukee (59-67) swept three games at home from Chicago...

The Baltimore Orioles apparently have signed free-agent lefty and recent Brewer Randy Wolf. It didn't take long for Wolf to find a new team. Wolf will be pitching in the AL for the first time, although as of now it's unclear if he's joined Baltimore to fortify a young rotation or to help from the bullpen. The Orioles were among the suspected suitors for Wolf in...

In taking two of three games versus the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers showed the kind of damage they could do to foes over the next month in terms of spoiling other teams’ chances at the playoffs. Nearly a month ago, I waxed on the possibility of the Brewers making things hard on postseason contenders. Ever since...
