“It’s weird. We want to win this game even though our ticket’s punched to the quarterfinals," Team USA manager Mark DeRosa on MLB Network earlier today. Obviously, the US has very much NOT clinched anything yet, especially after the potential outcome of this game. www.instagram.com/p/DVusUQ9Ddj...

(Brice Turang being on the bench for this game was a ridiculous decision from Mark DeRosa to begin with)

Is, uh, the US gonna miss the knockout rounds???

Let’s check in on Canad—yep sounds about right

Bobby Witt Jr., Brice Turang, Joey Ortiz (L-R, pictured at Daikin Park March 9)

That is a TOUGH error to give to Brice Turang, but that’s life when you don’t have Jake Bauers over there to catch the baseball.

Jake Bauers is 9 for 17 with three homers and five walks this spring, a real contender for Cactus League MVP.

Jesús Made is 25+ pounds bigger and stronger than he was a year ago at this time. Of all the impressions he made in his first big league camp, his physicality might be No. 1. "He's a specimen." www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Overheard from Brewers dugout during Brandon Sproat’s sim game : “Damn you, Sal.”

Jett Williams will get back to game action on Thursday night. Jesús Made was reassigned to minor league camp among a series of cuts today. Quinn Priester is set to go see a specialist to examine his wrist injury.

Do the Brewers feel Kyle Harrison is ready for a big league role?

Kyle Harrison’s stuff just sizzles, man.

Garrett Mitchell hit a ball 111.6 mph in the first inning. Here are all his exit velocities from this spring.

Definitely Not A Spring Overreaction: Kyle Harrison might have The Goods.

3 cuts from Brewers camp this morning: Coleman Crow, Tate Kuehner and Drew Rom. Jacob Misiorowski slated to follow Kyle Harrison on the bump.

The Brewers once again have a roster full of short guys. They keep acquiring more. Are they doing this on purpose? The most Serious Journalism I will conduct in Phoenix: www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

this is the work of A Hero

Big Woo has a new moniker. “He’s the Unc," Chad Patrick said. Jacob Misiorowski: “I think Chad hit it right on the head. He's Unc." www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Brandon Woodruff threw 24 pitches in his first inning of 2026. Fastball sat 92-93 mph. Here's how it looked.

I had wondered if Brice Turang was gonna lean into contact, ball-in-play, slappy hitter mode with all the other boppers on Team USA. He did not do that.

I shoulda had ‘Stiven Cruz strikes out Juan Soto’ on the bingo card smh @jrradcliffe.bsky.social.

I would not have thrown that pitch there to Aaron Judge, but I suppose I'm just Built Different.

A cat got into the Brewers dugout during the game today and climbed into the bat rack. Judging by the makeshift cover, it was still be in there when the game ended. The grounds crew just safely removed it.

It was fun while it lasted. MLB told the Brewers they couldn't use any aid that isn't in the spirit of the rule.

Alternative title: The Brewers will not shut up about Brandon Sproat www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

May I interest you in Jesús Made hitting a baseball 104.6 mph?

Spring training update: There is a cat in the Brewers dugout.

Jackson Chourio has a left hand contusion from a HBP getting ready for the WBC. He’s out of the lineup today but could play tomorrow. “He’s fine,” Murphy said.

News alert: Jacob Misiorowski and Chad Patrick are in the Opening Day rotation. “Write that down,” Pat Murphy said.

Via posted reports we learn from Venezuela's WBC Manager: "Omar López confirms Jackson Chourio is experiencing discomfort in the hand (from a HBP); however, he will be available to enter as a pinch runner against Netherlands." #Brewers x.com/edgarddeport...

At 9:14 a.m. this morning the R&D crew walked out of Pat Murphy’s office. That meant you knew the Brewers were, once again, up to something. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

here's some catnip for you folks

Big spring happenings today. The Brewers are instituting Phase One of Operation ABS Challenge System Rules, with coaches Evan Martin and Daniel de Mondesert holding up big cards to signal when or when not to challenge based on game situation.

Garrett Mitchell just hit the first pitch of the game 462 feet. Goodness.

I wanted to clear the air on some things re: Brewers "Pitching Lab" on Brewer Territory. A lot in this episode, plz like/subscribe/etc! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qGH...

The Brewers are considering sending Quinn Priester to a specialist to get a further look at his wrist injury, Pat Murphy said.

Here’s the update from Quinn Priester himself and the wrist issue he’s dealing with

Jack Seppings won’t be found on any prospect lists, but his journey is a unique one. And now you might find him pitching in the WBC. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Alex Wells?

Christian Yelich is BACK....to the leg kick. Here's what he said about the change after homering in his first game of the spring. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Shane Drohan has stood out to Pat Murphy this spring and the skipper expects him to be in Milwaukee in 2026. "You look at the stuff, you look at the composure...I think you’ll see this year at some point."

Someone nearly got impaled by Kevin Alcantara's second flung bat of the game, then Brandon Sproat got smacked by a liner to the mound (he stayed in the game). Danger at all turns in Maryvale today.

Brandon Sproat strikes out two Cubs in his first inning of work. He topped out at 98.8 mph and got four whiffs on six swings.

The Red Sox tried teaching Kyle Harrison a kick change. It never got past the experimental phase. This winter, a grip suggestion by an old Giants teammate changed everything. It’s a pitch that could make Harrison the next Brewers pitching development success. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Observation from one round of batting practice: Christian Yelich — who’s making his spring debut today — is using the leg kick again.

Just had to stop my car in the middle of the street to let a literal chicken cross the road. Never change, Maryvale.
