Nashville saved the organization from a Saturday wipeout, and did so in style. The Shuckers were not singing in the rain as their season-long undefeated streak finally came to an end. The Timber Rattlers' offensive woes caught up to them in terms of win vs. loss, while the Mudcats are finding out the Nationals' system has some Carolina League talent.

Shuckers are now 7-0. Lazar & Shook throw a combined shutout for the Rattlers. Sounds go 0-for-18 with runners in scoring position, lose close one. Mudcats are routed

Rattlers sweep a doubleheader. Shuckers move to 6-0. Sounds win a close one, Mudcats lose on a walk-off.

April 15, 1987. That was the day that Juan Nieves threw the first no-hitter in Milwaukee Brewers history. The Brewers beat the Orioles 7-0. Let’s revisit that magical night through the top 40 songs during that week. 

The forums are only getting started, as the Brewers are back over .500 and aiming to knock down division opponents over the coming days... Or really, I mean the Cardinals. Are the Pirates even considered opponents at this point?

The draft is a short three months away. Over the last week, there have been a number of newsworthy draft notes. Continue reading to learn more.

Milwaukee Brewers’ pitchers have gotten off to a rough beginning in 2022. With the caveat of it being just five games, heading into Wednesday’s action, Milwaukee’s staff ranked 10th in the NL in ERA (4.80). Above all, the free pass has been the most significant contributor to the staff’s slow start.

Sometimes, as the Timber Rattlers showed us tonight: late means tomorrow. Sometimes, as the Sounds dramatically showed us: late means absolutely nothing doing through seven innings and then a dreamy seven-spot, take the lead and shut the door end to the night. I miss my opportunity to see and report on yet another tantalizing Timber Rattlers pitching prospect in one 6'7" 255-pound Russell Smith. Still, I also check back in my most recent 'up and comer' down in Zebulon in Eduardo Garcia.

Enough of the introductions; let's get into the meat!

For those of us, like myself, who were drawn into the original ‘Brewer Fan’ website (now the beautiful Brewer Fanatic website you are habitually perusing throughout your day) because of the tireless output of Jim Goulart. The fact we are so obsessed over the lower levels of Brewers baseball is largely due to this amazing man.

On Monday the Orioles did something they hadn't done in 32 years. When is the last time the Brewers did it?

Slow starts happen. It’s a part of baseball. The Milwaukee Brewers dropped a series to the Chicago Cubs to start the year off, then lost to an 0-3 Baltimore Orioles team on Monday. The offense looks lackluster. The pitchers aren't executing. What exactly does the team have going for it right now?

Milwaukee Brewers' pitchers hit Willson Contreras twice during baseball’s opening weekend, prompting the Chicago Cubs to retaliate. It is another chapter in the book of Contreras where hit-by-pitches are part of his game, but they make him angry.

The numbers were phenomenal. 18-12 record. 280 innings pitched. 17 complete games. Only 14 home runs and 50 walks allowed. Three shutout innings in the All-Star game. It was 1978, and for 22-year-old Lary Sorensen, it was one of the finest years any Brewer pitcher ever put together. Sadly, he would never match his glorious 1978 campaign, and Sorensen's personal life would eventually overshadow his baseball achievements.

We'll get to game results in a moment, but one of the benefits of MiLB.TV is that we can review the archives in the unfortunate event a player leaves a game in what is clearly an injury situation, but it's not fully documented in the game summary (the authors of the summaries will never speculate, which makes sense).

Some may say it's mainly about development in the minor leagues (and to some extent, it is), but let's be honest, winning is fun, and there isn't a person in the Brewers organization or fandom that can argue with that. So while it would have been nice to see a Cubs "L" flying in Wrigley Field Saturday, you'll find the maximum number of "W's" within today's Minor League Link Report. The affiliates are now a combined 8-2 on the very young season.

448 pitchers can't be wrong.

Super young Mudcats, including a new coach! Zero weaknesses were detected in Wisconsin. Biloxi is booming again after one down year. 38 Sounds on the AAA roster?!

After allowing the AAA club to bask in their solo spotlight for a bit, it was time to peel back the curtain on a full slate of games for the Brewers' affiliates. Mother Nature had other ideas, but hey, an undefeated night is an undefeated night!
