But are we seeing the emergence of a lineup that could dominate in the playoffs? Constructing a lineup isn’t strictly sc...2505Sun, 11 Aug 2024 15:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/four-interesting-stats-helping-the-brewers-to-the-nl-central-lead-r2502/With fewer than 50 games to play, the Milwaukee Brewers hold an eight-game lead in the NL Central. Despite many injuries, an underwhelming rotation, an overused bullpen and a seemingly powerless offense for a few months, the Crew kept finding ways to win and stay atop the division. Of course, we...2502Sun, 11 Aug 2024 11:58:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/as-their-offense-surges-the-brewers-defense-keeps-contributing-to-wins-r2503/The Brewers continued their offensive rampage to open their longest homestand of the year, but the defense scattered its fingerprints all over the team's latest comfortable win. After weathering their first losing month of the regular season and starting August with a series loss, the Brewer...2503Sat, 10 Aug 2024 14:12:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/a-rested-william-contreras-is-back-to-punishing-pitchers-r2501/William Contreras slumped hard at the plate for almost two months, but he’s quietly excelled since the All-Star break. With pitch selectivity as a crutch, here’s how Contreras has become a threat in the batter’s box again. We can almost break William Contreras' season down into three segment...2501Sat, 10 Aug 2024 11:57:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/willy-adamess-defense-has-slipped-and-its-becoming-a-concern-r2498/Milwaukee’s typically slick-fielding shortstop has been shakier in the field this year, a development with implications for the futures of both parties. What’s changed, and can they correct it? Willy Adames is enjoying his best offensive season since his inaugural campaign as a Brewer. After...2498Fri, 09 Aug 2024 11:57:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/decision-time-looms-on-dl-hall-others-but-brewers-have-none-but-champagne-problems-r2496/Though they appear to have been trying to avoid it, the Brewers might need to use the final option year on their southpaw swingman--and even that won't alleviate their looming roster crunch. Right now, though, they only have good problems on their pitching staff, and good problems are no problem...2496Thu, 08 Aug 2024 11:07:37 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/can-garrett-mitchell-be-the-lefty-bat-the-brewers-lineup-needs-r2494/The former first-round pick has had a hard time getting underneath the ball, a hard time making enough contact against high-level pitching, and a hard time staying healthy. Is fixing two of those three good enough? The sample is tiny. That's always one problem where evaluating Garrett Mitche...2494Wed, 07 Aug 2024 14:18:54 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/brewers-hitters-made-needed-adjustments-in-repeat-matchup-against-bryce-elder-r2492/Seeing the same righthander who stymied them a week ago, the Brewers took greater advantage of opportunities for damage in the follow-up meeting. Improved swing decisions catalyzed the sortie. The Brewers enjoyed a much-needed blowout win on Tuesday night, opening their series against the Br...2492Wed, 07 Aug 2024 11:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/what-are-the-brewers-playoff-odds-can-they-capture-a-bye-r2491/We're officially in the dog days of baseball. As of today, where do the Milwaukee Brewers stand in their postseason chances? The Brewers, as of today, August 6, 2024, have a record of 62-49 and are six games ahead of the Pirates and Cardinals in the Central division of the National League.

Alas, in the wake of a key injury and amid some struggles from their young hitters, that spark has died. In the last 30 days, the Brewers are 10th in MLB in stolen base...2490Tue, 06 Aug 2024 16:07:11 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/how-brewers-colin-rea-is-getting-more-outs-and-allowing-fewer-runs-with-less-swing-and-miss-r2489/At times this season, the broad-shouldered Iowan has been asked to carry the pitching staff on his back. Somehow, he's been up to the job. It's not like Colin Rea was striking batters out at some elite, obviously unsustainable rate in the past. Last season, when he had a respectable but pede...2489Tue, 06 Aug 2024 11:53:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/pitch-recognition-issues-plaguing-brewers-brice-turang-r2488/From a bona fide All-Star in the first eight weeks to a .607 OPS since May 26, it appears Brice Turang has regressed significantly back toward his 2023 performance. Many expected some of that, but it wasn’t supposed to be this steep. What has gone wrong? And more importantly, can it be fixed?...2488Mon, 05 Aug 2024 23:12:01 +0000
