The good news is, the Crew still has time to close it. Projection systems at multiple sites have rolled out this week, with full forecasts not only for individual players but for teams....3036Thu, 06 Feb 2025 18:46:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/milwaukees-pitchers-are-great-but-wheres-the-stuff-r3034/The Brewers have some of the best pitchers in the sport, but you might not know that from their advanced pitch-modeling metrics. Baseball is a numbers game. For hitters, most figures are pretty self-explanatory. Batting average, on-base-plus-slugging, chase rate, and strikeout rate have name...3034Thu, 06 Feb 2025 12:32:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/these-13-former-brewers-could-be-the-next-to-make-it-to-cooperstown-r3028/The 2025 National Baseball Hall of Fame Induction in July will feature multiple former Brewers for the first time. The Crew doesn't have a clear-cut future Hall of Famer gracing the diamond at American Family Field, but any of these 13 current and former players could be the next honoree. Th...3028Wed, 05 Feb 2025 17:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/could-milwaukee-brewer-baltimore-orioles-emerge-as-endgame-trade-partners-again-r3033/Last winter, just when it looked like the Brewers might hold onto an ace approaching free agency after all, they struck a surprising trade agreement with the Orioles to bring in a free-swinging infielder. Could they do it again? The time in the offseason is winding down. A week from Wednesda...3033Wed, 05 Feb 2025 12:25:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/elvin-rodriguez-fits-multiple-brewers-molds-which-one-will-they-choose-to-press-him-into-r3027/Recent Brewers pitching staffs have been islands of misfit toys, with some hurlers succeeding through deception and others with impressive raw stuff. Their recent signing straddles the line between both approaches, meaning Chris Hook and company must decide between two distinct paths to maximize...3027Tue, 04 Feb 2025 12:58:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/are-the-brewers-rethinking-their-catching-philosophy-r3018/For years, the Brewers' catching corps was defined by elite pitch framing. From 2019-2023, they consistently ranked as one of the top five teams in framing, maximizing their pitchers' effectiveness by stealing extra strikes. However, in 2024, that skill took a noticeable step back. The Brewers m...3018Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:46:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/well-then-brewers-projected-for-just-80-wins-by-pecota-r3021/And this is the system that usually likes them! Hmm. Ah. Well... uh-oh. The annual PECOTA projections roll out at Baseball Prospectus this week, and they are (to say the very least) unfriendly to the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite coming off two straight NL Central titles, the Crew come in with...3021Mon, 03 Feb 2025 12:20:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/a-retrospective-part-3-of-3-matt-arnolds-first-40-trades-as-brewers-gm-r3020/Little did we think when Part One of our Matt Arnold trade review trilogy premiered a month ago, that the overall trade count would still be stuck at 40 as we completed our tour. Part Two carried us through the Corbin Burnes for Joey Ortiz/DL Hall deal. We now wrap up with the most recent 14 swa...3020Mon, 03 Feb 2025 03:30:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/file-and-trial-is-dead-and-william-contreras-drove-the-nail-into-its-coffin-r3019/The Brewers struck what is very technically not a one-year deal with their star catcher Saturday. It's the inflection point in a curve bending away from a hard line, turning us toward the next fight between teams and players in their arbitration-eligible seasons. The Milwaukee Brewers and ca...3019Sun, 02 Feb 2025 14:06:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/brewers-offseason-sign-free-agent-kike-hernandez/To Kiké Hernández, a pair of glasses has been more beneficial than any performance-enhancing drug on the market.  In my humble opinion, the most interesting part of baseball isn’t the history, analytics, or teams' ability to sell beer and hot dogs at exorbitant markups. Instead, what initial...3017Sun, 02 Feb 2025 12:50:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/what-looming-home-run-regression-could-mean-for-trevor-megill-and-a-post-devin-williams-brewers-bullpen-r3015/Trevor Megill earned his status as the favorite to take over the ninth inning for good, but a driver of his previous success may evaporate in 2025. That holds implications for the evolving late-inning picture in Milwaukee. Trevor Megill fits the archetype of a dominant late-inning reliever....3015Fri, 31 Jan 2025 12:43:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/why-does-joel-payamps-miss-fewer-bats-than-his-stuff-suggests-r3014/The Brewers' stout middle reliever didn't exactly have a bad 2024, but it was largely frustrating for him. He didn't seem to dominate hitters the way it seemed that he should. Maybe we can now say why. It's not like Joel Payamps completely fell apart in 2024, after a very strong 2023 that ma...3014Thu, 30 Jan 2025 23:08:01 +0000
