Darryl Hamilton was killed on June 21 as part of an apparent murder/suicide. This came as a shock to his family, friends, former teammates, and his colleagues at MLB Network. He had a 13 year Major League career playing for 5 teams.
Hamilton spent parts of 7 seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. He was drafted by the Brewers in the 11th round of the 1986 draft. He made his MLB debut with the Brewers in 1988, playing in 44 games. He came up for good in 1990, playing in all 3 outfield positions until 1994 when he became the regular center fielder for the Brewers.
Hamilton was a fan favorite in Milwaukee who always seemed to have a smile on his face. He is in the top 35 in many of the Brewers all-time statistics, including 10th in stolen bases (109) and 5th in batting average (.290). He was a solid defensive outfielder who finished first in his league in fielding percentage 4 times. He currently ranks 6th in career fielding percentage for outfielders in all of MLB.
Hamilton signed with the Texas Rangers in 1996 as a free agent. He was their starting center fielder and leadoff hitter and led the Rangers to their first ever post season series. The Rangers lost the division series in 4 games to the New York Yankees.
From there, Hamilton went on to play for the San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies, and New York Mets. He played in the postseason with the Giants in 1997 and the Mets in 1999 and 2000. The 2000 Mets went to the World Series but lost to the Yankees.
The Brewers observed a moment of silence in Milwaukee before the game against the Mets on June 22. The Rangers also observed a moment of silence before their game against the Oakland A’s.
“He fit right in with us,” said former Brewer Jim Gantner, the second baseman when Hamilton arrived in 1988. “He knew how to play the game. He was always getting on base. I remember when he first came up, [former Brewers hitting coach] Don Baylor saying he was going to win a batting title someday. He was that good a hitter.”
Hamilton was a popular player among his teammates and fans. He will be missed. Rest in peace.
BassBall Fever won big this week and moved up to 3rd place. Brooks Robinson lost big, sinking further into last place.
BassBall Fever
BassBall Fever won 8-2. Steven Vogt hit .458 with 2 home runs, 11 RBIs, and 4 runs scored. Alcides Escobar hit .393 with 8 RBIs, 5 runs scored, and 1 stolen base while Mike Moustakas hit .391 with a home run, 7 RBIs, and 5 runs scored.
Max Scherzer again flirted with a perfect game, and the hit by pitch does not count against the WHIP, so he may as well have been perfect, getting the win, striking out 10, and posting a 0.00 ERA and WHIP. Mark Melancon added 3 saves with 3 perfect innings.
Brooks Robinson
Brooks Robinson lost 8-2, only winning in ERA and WHIP. Manny Machado had another monster week, with a .448 average, 3 home runs, 8 RBIs, 9 runs scored, and 3 stolen bases. Francisco Liriano was the pitching star of the week, with a win, 18 strikeouts, 3.29 ERA and 0.90 WHIP

Royals at Brewers
The Brewers opened the four game home-and-home series against the Royals with an 8-5 loss. The Royals jumped on Kyle Lohse for 3 runs in the first and added 2 more in the 5th. Jonathan Lucroy hit a 2 run double in the fifth and another run scoring double in a 3 run 9th inning that came up short.
Game 2 did not go any better as Matt Garza gave up 6 runs in 6.2 innings. Lucroy had another RBI in the 8th and Scooter Gennett hit a solo home run in the 9th, but it was too little too late.
Brewers at Royals
The change of venue did not change the outcomes between these two teams. The Brewers took the early lead on Gennett’s run scoring triple in the 2nd inning. The Royals came back with 3 runs in the bottom of the inning, then scored 3 more in the fifth. Mike Fiers gave up all 6 of those runs and Jonathan Broxton gave up 4 runs in the 8th in the 10-2 loss.
Once again, the Royals jumped out to an early lead, scoring 3 runs in the first 2 innings. And once again, the Brewers were not able to come back. They made this one close, scoring 2 runs in the 5th, but not scoring any more. The Brewers lost their 6th game in a row, 3-2. Ned Yost became the Royals’ winningest manager with his 411th win.
Brewers at Rockies
The Brewers’ bats came alive early and often in Colorado, leading them to a 9-5 lead. Ryan Braun hit a 2 run home run and Aramis Ramirez added a solo shot in the 1st. The Brewers had a 6-0 lead in the 4th when the Rockies scored 3. The Rockies tacked on another run before the Brewers scored 3 more times in the 7th.
The bats cooled off again in game 2. Lohse had a better game, but he still gave up 3 runs and took his 9th loss. Adam Lind hit a solo home run in the 6th, but that was the only run scored in a 5-1 loss.
Matt Garza gave up 10 runs, 7 earned, in 5.1 innings as the Brewers lost again. The Brewers scored a run in 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th, but they gave up 3 in the 3rd and 4th and 4 in the 6th for a 10-4 loss.
Roster/Injury News
Carlos Gomez missed all 6 of the 7 games this week after playing in the final 2 games against the Nationals. He was the DH in Wednesday’s loss to the Royals. The Brewers are expecting him to play against the Mets after an off day on Monday.

Brewers at Pirates
Brewers won game 1 of the series 2-0, in a rain soaked game. There were two rain delays that totaled 2 hours and 13 minutes. Jimmy Nelson pitched six innings of shutout baseball, striking out 7 in the process. Jean Segura drove in Aramis Ramirez in the 5th inning. Then, after the rain delays, Ryan Braun drove in Carlos Gomez in the 8th. Francisco Rodriguez came in for his 11th save of the season.
Taylor Jungmann had a perfect first inning in his Major League Debut. Jason Rogers hit a solo home run in the 2nd inning to give the Brewers an early 1-0 lead. Starling Marte hit a home run in the bottom of the 2nd to tie it up. The Brewers scored twice in the 7th inning as Ramirez drove in Braun on a ground out and Rogers drove in Carlos Gomez with a single. Ramirez hit a solo home run in the 9th and K-Rod earned his 12th save of the season. Jungmann picked up the win, pitching 7 innings, giving up 1 run on 3 hits and a walk, and struck out 5 as the Brewers won, 4-1.
Gomez was out for game 3 due to sore groin. The Pirates struck first, going up 2-0. Braun came out in the 6th with dizziness. Hector Gomez went in to left field for his first work in the Major Leagues as an outfielder, and Shane Peterson moved from left to right. The 2 runs turned out to be the only ones scored as the Brewers failed to secure their first sweep of the season. They did win their last 2 series and 2 out of 3 on this road trip.
Nationals at Brewers
The Brewers found themselves in a 5-1 deficit when they came up to bat in the home half of the 4th inning. They scored 2 runs in the 4th and tacked another one on in the 5th. Then Gerardo Parra tied the game in the 7th inning with his 4th home run of the season. Scooter Gennett hit a 2-out RBI single in the 8th in his first game back in the Big Leagues to secure a 6-5 win for the Brewers.
Ramirez was the star of the show on Friday. He had 3 doubles and 5 RBIs by the 4th inning. Jonathan Lucroy added his own 2-run double in the 4th, knocking Jordan Zimmerman out of the game. The bullpen gave up a run for the first time in 5 games, but the Brewers held on to win, 8-4.
Nelson came off of his great appearance at the Pirates only to have a disappointing game against the Nationals. He was taken out with nobody out in the 6th inning after giving up 7 runs on 10 hits, 2 walks, and 2 hit batsmen. Carlos Gomez returned to the lineup after missing 3 games with a sore groin. Gennett continued his hot hitting since coming back up to the Brewers with 2 doubles and an RBI. It just wasn’t enough to overcome the Nationals early lead as the Crew lost 7-2. The Nationals’ Bryce Harper came out of the game after being hit by a pitch in the 9th inning.
Sunday’s game was all about the Nationals’ Max Scherzer. Taylor Jungmann had another good start, giving up just 2 runs in 5 innings in his second Major League appearance. Unfortunately for the Brewers, Scherzer dominated on this afternoon. He pitched a complete game shutout while striking out 16 Brewers. Carlos Gomez got the only hit for the Brewers, a broken bat single to lead off the 7th, and Gennett drew a one out walk in the 8th inning for the only other base runner for the Brewers.
Roster/Injury News
Braun came out of the game on Wednesday due to dizziness. The medical staff found some fluid on his eardrum and treated it, and Braun did not miss any playing time.
Will Smith was reinstated for Thursday’s game against the Nationals and picked up the win by pitching a scoreless 8th inning.
Gennett was called back up and returned to action for the Brewers on Thursday. Gennett is hitting .357 (5-14) with a run scored and 8 RBIs in 4 games since coming back up. David Goforth was sent back down to make room for Gennett.
Carlos Gomez missed 3 games due to a sore groin. He played in the final 2 games against the Nationals.

BassBall Fever won this week, but Brooks Robinson definitely did not.
BassBall Fever
BassBall Fever won 6-4. My strategy of winning the pitching stats and one or two batting stats is paying off. They won all 5 pitching and runs scored to take the week. Delino DeShields was a big pickup, scoring 6 runs this week. The pitching staff swept even though Felix Hernandez finished the week wit a 216.00 ERA and 21.00 WHIP. Max Scherzer had 23 strikeouts this week.
Brooks Robinson
Brooks Robinson lost 7-3, only winning in runs, home runs, and RBIs. Manny Machado (2 HR, 5 RBI, 9 R), Josh Donaldson (2 HR,5 RBI,6 R), and Joey Votto (4 HR, 5 RBI, 6 R) had monster weeks. Jimmy Nelson was the only pitcher with a win this week, but his second game was much less successful.

Brewers at Cardinals
Brewers won game 1 of the series 1-0, just their second win without a home run (2-21). Jonathan Lucroy went hitless in his return from the DL, but he played a critical role behind the plate. He blocked many balls in the dirt late in the game to keep the Cardinals from advancing. Mike Fiers threw 6 shutout innings and struck out 6 and the bullpen completed the shutout. Jean Segura singled in the first and Carlos Gomez drove him in with a single of his own. That proved to be the only run of the game.
Brewers lost game 2, 1-0. They had the tying run on third in the 9th with one out, but failed to score. Tyler Cravy went 7 innings, giving up the only run in his Major League debut. Former Brewer Mark Reynolds drove in the only run of the game.
Jimmy Nelson gave up 7 runs, including 5 in the first, as the Cardinals beat the Brewers 7-4. After leading the Majors in doubles with 53 last season, Lucroy finally hit his first double of the season.
Brewers at Twins
Adam Lind had a huge night in Minnesota, going 3-5 with a home run, 6 RBIs and 2 runs scored. Lucroy continued his hot hitting going 3-5 with a home run, 2 RBIs, and a run scored. Kyle Lohse was pitching a shutout until the 5th, when he gave up 5 runs that erased a 5-0 lead. Carlos Gomez and Lind hit back to back 2-out doubles and Lucroy hit a single to drive in Lind in the 8th. The Brewers tacked on 3 more runs in the 9th to cap off a 10-5 win.
Former Twins Carlos Gomez and Matt Garza were the heroes of game 2. Gomez went 4-4 with 3 RBIs and a stolen base while Garza pitched 7 innings of 1 run ball. Ryan Braun hit his 13th home run of the season after missing 2 games due to his thumb. Francisco Rodriguez worked around a walk to get his 358th save in the Brewers’ 4-2 win. K-Rod is now tied with Troy Percival for 9th all time.
The Brewers had 8 hits in the finale against the Twins, but did not manage to score a run. They hit into 3 double plays. Fiers gave up 2 runs in the 2nd inning and came out of the game with 1 out in the 5th. The bullpen did not give up a run in 4.2 innings.
Roster/Injury News
Surgery on Khris Davis’ torn meniscus went well. He is expected to be out 4-6 weeks. This is a positive, considering that a torn meniscus could be a season ending injury.
Tyler Wagner was sent back to AA Biloxi after his start on May 31. Tyler Cravy was brought up from AAA Colorado Springs to start on Tuesday. Cravy was then sent back down so the Brewers could call up OF Shane Peterson from AAA Colorado Springs.
The Brewers claimed Hernan Perez off waivers from Tigers. Perez, 24, is capable of playing all 4 infield positions. Though he is only hitting .061 this season, he has a lot of upside. He entered the season as the Tigers number 8 prospect. The Brewers designated Elian Herrera to make room for Perez.
Ryan Braun was out on Wednesday and Friday for a cryotherapy shot on his thumb. He was back in the lineup on Saturday and hit a 1st inning home run.
Will Smith’s suspension reduced from 8 games to 6 games. He was suspended for a foreign substance on his arm while pitching on May 21. He started serving the suspension on June 5 and will be available to pitch on June 11.

Neither team lost this week.
BassBall Fever
BassBall Fever tied 5-5. The pitching was solid, except for strikeouts. The batting was almost enough for a victory, winning batting average, but coming up just short in runs and RBIs. Steven Vogt hit .400 with a home run, 5 RBIs, and 3 runs scored.
The pitching carried the team this week, taking wins, saves, ERA, and WHIP. Greg Holland was the only pitcher over 1.20 WHIP this week.
Brooks Robinson
Brooks Robinson came out ahead, 5-4. Hitting was the strong point this week, winning runs, home runs, stolen bases, batting average, and tying in RBIs. On the pitching side, the relievers came home with the saves, but everything else went to the opponent.
Josh Donaldson had a monster week. He hit .440 with 6 home runs, 11 RBIs, and 11 runs scored. That makes Joey Votto’s 2 home runs, 3 RBIs, and 5 runs score look pretty pedestrian.
Francisco Liriano had 11 strikeouts but did not pick up the win. Huston Street and Mark Melancon each had 3 saves. It is hard to win the pitching stats when your opponent has a 3.01 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP.

Giants at Brewers
Khris Davis hit 2 home runs on Monday against the Giants. On his first one, the Giants appealed and the ump called him out for not touching home. A replay review reversed the call and the run counted. Braun hit a 2-run home run after a Davis single in the fifth. A 7-run 6th inning canceled out the home runs as the Giants went on to an 8-4 win.
Matt Garza gave up 5 runs in 5 innings, and the Brewers could not recover. Aramis Ramirez hit his 6th home run of the year in the fourth and drove in another in the 6th. Ryan Braun also had an RBI in the 6th, but that was it for the Brewers’ scoring. The Giants came out on top, 6-3.
Mike Fiers pitched on short rest to replace the injured Wily Peralta. Fiers pitched well, but he gave up a 2-run home run in the fifth. That was enough to beat the Brewers, who did not take advantage of early opportunities. Davis hit 2 triples with less than 2 outs and was stranded both times. The Giants won, 3-1.
Diamondbacks at Brewers
The Brewers and Diamondbacks traded punches in the opening game of the series. Each team scored a run in the 1st, 2 in the 3rd, and another in the 5th. The Brewers did not match the D-backs in the 8th and 9th and ended up losing 7-5. Jean Segura went 1 for 4 in his return from the DL.
Kyle Lohse gave up 7 runs, including 2 home runs to Paul Goldschmidt, in just 3.1 innings in a 7-3 loss to the D-backs. Michael Blazek, David Goforth, and Will Smith combined for 5.2 innings of scoreless relief. To add injury to insult, Davis tore his meniscus in the first inning during a swinging third strike.
The Brewers went into Sunday looking to stop a 7-game losing streak. It took 5 hours and 49 minutes (a Miller Park record) and 17 innings, but they did it. Tyler Wagner got his first Major League start after being called up from AA Biloxi. Segura and Martin Maldonado each had 4 hits. The Brewers used 22 players, including 9 pitchers. Lohse even came in as a pinch hitter in the 12th inning.
The only players not to see action were Fiers, Jimmy Nelson, and Blazek. Garza came in and pitched the last 5 innings to pick up the win. Maldonado caught all 17 innings and hit the game winning home run with one out in the bottom of the 17th to end the game.
Injury Report
Peralta, who came out of the game on May 21, will be out for 4-6 weeks with oblique strain. Fiers pitched on short rest in place of Peralta and Wagner was called up from AA Biloxi to replace Peralta on the roster.
Davis was placed on the 15-day DL with a torn meniscus. It is uncertain how long he will be out. More will be known after he has surgery on Tuesday.
Brandon Kintzler was designated for assignment, but that has been changed to a trip to the disabled list after he complained of knee soreness.
Segura returned from the DL after sitting out with a broken pinkie. He showed no ill effects after his time off. He is wearing a protective glove when he runs the bases.
Jonathan Lucroy started a rehab assignment with the Class A Brevard County Manatees on Thursday. He played 4 games, going 4-16 with an RBI and 3 runs scored. He is scheduled to come back to Milwaukee on Monday.
Other News
Will Smith will have a hearing for the appeal of his suspension on Monday. Smith was suspended for 8 games for having a foreign substance on his arm during the game on May 22.
Craig Counsell, after some early success, was only 2 games better than Ron Roenicke after 25 games. After 8 series under Counsell, the Brewers have won 2 series and split another. The Brewers started the season with 8 series under Roenicke and only managed one series win. It does not appear that the change at manager is helping as much as the front office had hoped.
