The Brewers skipper has frequently done the opposite with one of his right-handed relievers. After some alarming early-season trends in his bullpen management, Pat Murphy has since done a fine job of monitor...2522Fri, 16 Aug 2024 14:03:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/its-official-christian-yelich-out-for-season-brewers-have-to-find-offense-elsewhere-r2523/If you were still scribbling lineups with the Crew's best hitter restored to them on the backs of bank envelopes and cocktail napkins, first of all, what're you using bank envelopes for? And secondly, stop. The Milwaukee Brewers offense is completely transformed by the presence or absence of...2523Fri, 16 Aug 2024 11:50:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/proposed-mlb-rule-change-would-be-apocalyptic-for-brewers-pitching-system-r2521/We're in a new era of leadership in MLB. Rob Manfred has shown an openness to big changes to the game that his predecessor never evinced. That's a good thing, when changes can be made for the betterment of the game's aesthetics and competitive balance, but sometimes those things are in tension w...2521Thu, 15 Aug 2024 18:46:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/tyler-black-isnt-going-to-be-a-slugger-but-brewers-need-him-to-find-a-groove-in-mlb-r2520/It's becoming a very familiar refrain: This young Brewers hitter is proving not to have plus power. However, he can still be a solid offensive contributor--and the team needs him to be. Given that he appears to be confined to first base, DH, and perhaps some time in the corner outfield, it w...2520Thu, 15 Aug 2024 15:38:53 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/a-historic-save-wednesday-says-devin-williams-is-all-the-way-back-do-the-data-agree-r2519/He hasn’t thrown many innings since coming back, but the one he pitched to close out Wednesday night's nailbiter was thrilling. What does pitch-by-pitch data say about his current status? When Devin Williams took the mound on Jul. 28, it had been 318 days since his last competitive major-lea...2519Thu, 15 Aug 2024 11:38:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/its-a-breaking-ball-league-and-star-brewers-rookie-joey-ortiz-is-a-breaking-ball-hitter-r2517/By season's end, he could be as low as third on his own team, just among rookies. That says a whole lot about the team, but we should take some time to say nicer things about him. This season has not been an uninterrupted, unmitigated success for Joey Ortiz. It's been an exciting and impress...2517Wed, 14 Aug 2024 23:06:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/rhys-hoskins-is-himself-again-should-he-start-hitting-higher-in-brewers-lineup-r2516/Though he's batted second against a couple of left-handed opposing starters lately, the highly-paid veteran slugger bats seventh most days. His rediscovered pull-side thump may mean it's time to change that. Somewhat predictably, Rhys Hoskins's first season back from a torn ACL that cost him...2516Wed, 14 Aug 2024 11:08:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/april-is-the-only-thing-keeping-brice-turang-atop-brewers-lineup-in-august-r2514/And maybe that's actually ok. Baseball is weird. Way back in spring training, Brewers manager Pat Murphy anointed Brice Turang as a key part of his lineup. He predicted a "quantum leap" from the sophomore second baseman, and early on, it looked like that was exactly what was happening. Quick...2514Tue, 13 Aug 2024 16:02:59 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/hes-under-construction-latest-adjustments-have-taken-brewers-starter-colin-rea-to-a-new-level-r2513/Colin Rea has been a model of reliability for the Brewers for nearly two seasons, but has transformed into an optimized version of himself in recent weeks. At a time in the season when some starters start to wear down, Rea is better than he's ever been. It’s no longer accurate to call Colin...2513Tue, 13 Aug 2024 11:48:10 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/do-the-brewers-have-a-fip-problem-r2510/Does Milwaukee really have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball again, or are they due for a statistical regression? After more than 1,000 innings of baseball, the Brewers have a team ERA of 3.74, the fourth-best in baseball and just 0.02 higher than the second-place Phillies. It has...2510Mon, 12 Aug 2024 16:19:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/dl-hall-showed-in-return-outing-that-he-can-still-help-the-brewers-r2508/DL Hall's results were mixed in his first outing off the injured list, but aspects of his performance were reminders that he still has the makeup to impact the Brewers down the stretch. The innings pitched and run columns in DL Hall’s pitching line on Sunday were unassuming: three earned run...2508Mon, 12 Aug 2024 11:50:08 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/week-in-review-the-best-yet-r2507/That might've been the best week of Brewers baseball yet.
