Sunday 3/1: Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "It's time for our annual series previewing the upcoming Brewers season, starting off with the offense. We went position by position trying to get a feel for what we expect and where the potential pitfalls are. We then took a number of questions on hitting for power, lineup order and the ball/strike challenge system." Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe take a look at the wildly healthy landscape of the Brewers in spring training, with even minor injury question marks like Brandon Woodruff and Trevor Megill seemingly on track. What about prospect Jett Williams? Tyler Black and Brandon Lockridge are the breakout stars of spring so far. How does Luis Rengifo look at third? Could Aaron Ashby still be a starting pitcher? How has the ball/strike challenge system impacted the game? Who else is jumping out? Then, Todd and JR provide the first Three Up, Three Down of the season (31:30), spinning through some intriguing spring highlights including homers robbed by weird ground rules, a viral Jacob Misiorowski video, a three-run single, a dinged-up food truck, Joey Ortiz with the bases loaded and young prospects who have impressed."

Friday 2/27: VIDEO via MLB Network: "MLB Network visits Phoenix, Arizona to preview the Brewers' season as part of its "30 Clubs, 30 Camps" special Via the Wisconsin Sports Radio Network's "Inside Wisconsin Sports with Trevor and Josh": Tim Allen Via David Gasper's "Brewers Daily" YouTube page: "Tyler Black Continuing to Rake" Locked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "Chuck is joined by guest Doug Russell, Sports Director for Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin - they spotlight strengths in manufacturing runs, bullpen depth, and a culture that fosters player development. They examine key questions: Is Rengifo ready for third base? Will Yelich thrive as a full-time DH? The impact of recent trades, division rivals like the Cubs, and Murphy’s revamped coaching staff all come under scrutiny."

Via Tim Gotzler's "Baseball Wisconsin Podcast" - Apple Podcast Spotify Web / Podbean Tim is the head baseball coach at Menomonee Falls High School. His latest episode is a near hour-long conversation with Eddy Morgan, recently named manager of the Brewers' A-Ball Wilson Warbirds. Coach Morgan spent 13 years at Division III Concordia University-Wisconsin. This is an excellent "get-to-know" chat. The first half of the conversation details Morgan's coaching philosophies and practices. Around the 34:00 minute mark, the discussion focuses on Morgan joining the Brewers and the challenges that await in his new role. Clearly this conversation doesn't focus on the Warbirds' anticipated specific roster (to be determined, naturally), but overall, it's certainly a worthwhile listen. Enjoy.

Really enjoyed this interview with 2025 Mudcat and Timber Rattler RHP Tanner Gillis, signed out of the independent MLB Draft League in September 2024. Read for background here first: Eeles and Gillis: Big League Hopes Teammates at Division II Cedarville University in Ohio with INF/OF Peyton Eeles, now with the Orioles organization, the shared chat covers their journeys ($500 non-drafted signees!) to where they are today. Eeles was a subject within this MLB Trade Rumors article when Baltimore acquired him in November from the Twins for a former big-league Brewers player. Based on his stature, maybe he'll be a Brewer eventually as well. "The Twins are surrendering Eeles. The infielder, who just celebrated his 26th birthday earlier this week, is listed at just 5’5” and hit just .253 with a .321 slugging percentage in 86 games at Triple-A this past year. What Eeles lacks in size and power potential is made up for by a strong understanding of the strike zone and speed on the basepaths, however. He posted an excellent 12.4% walk rate at Triple-A this past year while striking out at a solid 17.2% clip. He went 21-for-28 on the basepaths in just 378 plate appearances, suggesting he could be a threat to steal 30-to-40 bases over a full season. Eeles has primarily played shortstop and second base throughout his time as a professional but has also made cameos at third base and all three outfield spots. That sort of versatile speedster is something the Orioles have long valued, as seen by the 408 games Jorge Mateo played for the Orioles over the past five seasons before becoming a free agent earlier this month. Given Eeles’s successful stint at the Triple-A level and Mateo’s departure, it wouldn’t be a shock to see him in the mix for a big league bench job in Baltimore at some point next season." *** Enjoy the video, and best wishes to both Tanner and Peyton, hope to see Gillis in Biloxi during the 2026 season.

Raleigh Magazine Article: "The stadium itself is designed to feel open and woven into daily downtown life. One standout feature: The concourse around the outfield will be open to the public 24/7, allowing residents to walk through the space even on non-game days." Nice!
