Brewer Fanatic

Just a day after the Milwaukee Brewers were dealt a significant blow to their rotation with Freddy Peralta being placed on the injured list, slugger Hunter Renfroe suffered the same fate.

Prior to yesterday’s game against the San Diego Padres, the Milwaukee Brewers placed right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta on the injured list with a strained right lat muscle. The move was accompanied by a cascading effect among the pitchers.

Greetings, forum!  After a rough week, the Brewers bounced back nicely, winning four-of-six last week and stretching their lead in the NL Central to four games over the second-place Cards.  Milwaukee won Wednesday in thrilling fashion, getting key contributions from players who were not on the big league roster when the forum week started on May 13.  Trevor Kelly's first major league win and Keston Hiura's walk-off blast are a great reminder there is more to the Brewers than Milwaukee and there is more to Brewer Fanatic than our major league forum.

Let's start off this week's Forum Friday with an apology. Having been a Brewer fan for over 40 years, I should know better than to call a 5-1 week "ho hum".  This weeks 1-5 record is clearly karma reminding me I should never take the Brewers winning baseball games for granted.  You can put the blame for this past week squarely on me. 

Another week, and the NL Central leading Brewers sort of ho-hummed their way to a 5-1 record.  Taking care of business against bad teams is important for teams with big aspirations.  And while the 2022 Brewers aren't without blemishes, after a month it should be clear they have big aspirations.  And the Brewer Fanatic forum knows it.

A little over a month ago, we launched the redesigned Brewer Fanatic, and things are going almost as well for the site as they are for the first-place Brewers. We’re so incredibly thankful to you all for your continued generosity in sharing your passion and thoughts, so let’s share the details.

We are not quite one-tenth of the way into the 2022 season and the Crew have rebounded from a bit of a rough start to find themselves just one-half game behind the Cardinals.  A scheduling quirk this coming week sees the Brewers travel to Philadelphia for a weekend series with the Phillies, then back to Milwaukee for a single-game against the Giants, before they head back to the Keystone State for three more with the Pirates.

The forums are only getting started, as the Brewers are back over .500 and aiming to knock down division opponents over the coming days... Or really, I mean the Cardinals. Are the Pirates even considered opponents at this point?
