In 548 games with the Crew, he slashed .244/.324/.457 with an .781 OPS and a 121 OPS+, piling up 511 hits, 119 doubles, 107 homers...162Thu, 18 Jun 2026 01:03:48 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/161-milwaukee-metric-mix-up-617-623/Week 1 of the Milwaukee Metric Mix‑Up was… educational. I tried predicting exact stats, and baseball responded by laughing directly in my face. Turns out trying to nail specific numbers in a sport built entirely on chaos is a great way to go 0‑for‑the‑internet. So, this week, I’m tightening th...161Wed, 17 Jun 2026 02:22:26 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/160-monday-mound-check-in/Where I grab the one number that I think actually matters for each pitcher and let it do the talking. Monday isn’t for stat dumps. It’s for honesty. The weekend is over, the vibes have settled, and whatever the bullpen did is now sitting in the cold light of day like a notification you’ve been...160Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:46:17 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/159-mizter-of-the-night-the-greatest-brewers-pitching-performances-ive-seen/It’s the last Friday night before summer break, and I’m sitting here with the kind of “weekend energy” only a parent understands: a bottle of water pretending to be something stronger, West Coast games on at a volume so low it might as well be closed captions, and a laptop that’s seen more Brewers...159Sat, 13 Jun 2026 04:02:19 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/158-update-milwaukee-metric-mix-up-day-1/Okay, so I think I was juuuuust a bit outside on the Jake Bauers strikeout prediction… thanks, Jake.

Hoskins suited up for the Crew in 221 games between 2024–25, putting up 162 hits, 38 homers, 125 RBI, and a very on‑brand 240 strikeouts.

The rules are simple: every starter gets one stat prediction, I can’t repeat a stat across players, and I’m not allowed to tak...156Wed, 10 Jun 2026 04:26:22 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/155-hope-in-stereo-how-chourio-misiorowski-and-yelich-are-rewriting-the-brewers-future/On certain nights at American Family Field, you can feel the air tighten before Jackson Chourio even steps into the box. It’s not the usual anticipation that comes with a young star, rather, it’s something heavier, something Milwaukee-specific. This city has spent decades learning how to love its p...155Tue, 09 Jun 2026 03:06:32 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/133-gambling-gains-and-player-pains-mlbs-double-play/**I spent almost 3 months working on this research paper and figuring out how to explain baseball to non-baseball people.  I'm looking for feedback if anyone is willing to help me out while I rant.  If not allowed, I will remove** Sports gambling is a big part of American culture in the 21st c...133Thu, 01 Aug 2024 04:32:08 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/130-brewers-at-the-break-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/Since it is the All-Star Break, I thought it would be fun to look back at first half of the year’s Good, Bad, and Ugly of the Brewers season.  Going into the break with a 55-42 record and a steady hold on 1st place in the division is probably the best that any of us could have hoped for.  My overal...130Wed, 17 Jul 2024 04:33:47 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/124-allow-me-to-introduce-myself/Hey there, I’m Irrelevant.  After creating a couple of blogs and participating in the live thread a little bit, I figured I better do a more formal introduction to give some context.  I grew up in Wisconsin and my first love was baseball.  My dad would take me to as many Sunday day games as possibl...124Wed, 03 Jul 2024 20:02:51 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/blogs/entry/123-instant-reaction-71/On a dry, mostly sunny day in Denver, the Brewers were visually flustered by the Colorado Rockies for the 6th consecutive game at Coor Field.

I have been a fan of the Brewers for almost 30 years, the last time I saw this much excitement without expectation was when we were cheering Ryan Braun on for ROY in 2007.  The young pieces are coming alo...122Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:06:08 +0000
