The 2024 season appears to be his swan song with the Crew, but does that have to be the case, or should the Brewers find a way to keep him playing half his games at American Family Field? Overview Wil...2444Fri, 26 Jul 2024 16:17:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/brice-turang-is-back-in-bad-habits-does-the-trade-market-hold-the-solution-r2446/Early on this year, it looked like the Brewers' manager had been prophetic in forecasting a huge step forward from his young second baseman. Now, that start looks more like a hot streak, receding in the rearview. What should the team do about it? At the end of play on May 15, Brice Turang lo...2446Fri, 26 Jul 2024 11:50:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/the-cutter-keeps-coming-along-as-bryan-hudson-tries-to-keep-hitters-guessing-r2443/The Brewers' humongous lefty reliever has stopped striking out batters at an elite rate. The league has seen him now, and they've adjusted to him. Here's how he's stayed ahead of their adjustments. Everyone who's watched baseball for years knew this stretch was coming for Bryan Hudson. He pi...2443Thu, 25 Jul 2024 22:04:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/yelichinjury-surgery-trade-candidates-arozarena-rooker/The news about Christian Yelich's back injury doesn't sound good. The possibility of season-ending surgery has been mentioned, and should that happen, the Brewers would have a gaping hole in their lineup. They would need a consistent middle-of-the-lineup hitter with power. Where can they find on...2440Thu, 25 Jul 2024 18:07:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/landing-jack-flaherty-would-transform-the-brewers-playoff-rotation-r2439/A rental starter who’s having a great year sounds like the perfect fit for a Milwaukee team in need of a healthy, high-end arm. For the tenth year in a row, the Detroit Tigers are going to miss the playoffs. With the vultures already circling, waiting for their chance to acquire the team’s l...2439Thu, 25 Jul 2024 14:07:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/the-brewers-offense-got-too-small-in-chicago-r2437/The Brewers have had some success with playing small ball this year, but they applied it unsuccessfully (and in extreme proportions) against the Cubs this week. That approach should not continue. After putting up eight runs in each of their first two games out of the All-Star break, the Brew...2437Thu, 25 Jul 2024 11:53:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/without-christian-yelich-brewers-lineup-will-need-to-assume-new-shape-r2436/Quietly, the Brewers' All-Star outfielder and best hitter had become their full-time DH over the last two weeks. Now, he's on the injured list, and it sounds like he'll be there for a while. The team has to make some big adjustments, but it's a bit less devastating because of the positional void...2436Wed, 24 Jul 2024 16:12:38 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/why-sal-frelick-has-become-a-catcher-interference-machine-r2435/One of the Brewers' sophomore outfielders is having a productive season on both sides of the ball, but he also stands out for his frequent participation in a baseball oddity. After striking the mitt of Ryan Jeffers in the eighth inning of Saturday’s extra-inning win over the Twins, Sal Freli...2435Wed, 24 Jul 2024 11:39:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/can-internal-upgrades-really-replace-trade-deadline-acquisitions-for-brewers-r2427/The Brewers are in need of quality (as opposed to quantity) to reinforce their playoff-aspiring pitching staff. The good news is that they may have the talent internally to bolster their roster. Have they what they need to get by without a major addition? With the bullpen faltering of late a...2427Tue, 23 Jul 2024 14:41:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/chris-bassitt-could-be-the-best-trade-target-for-brewers-starting-rotation-r2432/For the 2024 Milwaukee Brewers to ride out the season at the top of the NL Central, they will need more starting pitching. There’s almost no scenario where GM Matt Arnold gives up enough to get an elite arm for the rotation, but a solid, reliable veteran like Chris Bassitt fits the club like a g...2432Tue, 23 Jul 2024 11:48:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/anatomy-of-a-move-taking-down-garrett-mitchell-for-jake-bauers-saturday-night-r2429/In the 10th inning of Saturday night's epic second-half opener in Minnesota, the Brewers elected to have one left-handed hitter pinch-hit for another. Most of the time, those moves are made for platoon matchup reasons, so what can we learn by digging deeper on this unusual one? Garrett Mitch...2429Mon, 22 Jul 2024 17:28:15 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/twins-series-proves-the-future-is-now-for-jackson-chourio-r2426/Two games in Minnesota showed how the young prospect has finally turned the corner toward superstardom. Last month, I wrote about how Jackson Chourio’s improved swing decisions against fastballs helped drive an offensive resurgence. I worried about whether that topic would age like milk, but...2426Mon, 22 Jul 2024 14:09:02 +0000
