I cover the Milwaukee Brewers for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel — and can't stop my own debilitating usage of em dashes.

The R&D guys have been working on it for a while. The big league staff has never used it, though.

What, exactly, is the Brewers strategy for ABS challenges? It's complicated. After not talking about ball-strike challenges with their players for nearly four weeks, the Brewers just implemented a system

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.

It’s pre-pitch based on situation and count.

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.

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

Meet the Brewers prospect who's an Ivy grad, math whiz and pitches for Great Britain Brewers prospect Jack Seppings will represent his father's native Great Britain in the World Baseball Classic.

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.

Christian Yelich went back to an old staple of his swing – and immediately homered Christian Yelich feels more athletic with a leg kick in his swing, and debuted it on March 4 in game action

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.

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."

Christian Yelich just homered.

As Pat Murphy says, plot thickens.

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.

Kyle Harrison showed up this spring with a new pitch, and it's elevated his potential. Armed with a nasty kick change, Harrison has the makings of another Brewers pitching development story.

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.

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.
