The only certainty is that Freddy Peralta will start Game 1 on Tuesday afternoon. Peralta was always the clear-cut choice to start Milwaukee’s first playoff game. The stri...2676Tue, 01 Oct 2024 11:21:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-mets-will-line-up-and-look-against-brewers-in-wild-card-series-r2675/The Brewers played well against the Mets this year, going 5-1. In fact, they seem to do well against them nearly every year, having a 22-9 head-to-head record going back to 2019. This seems to be an encouraging sign that the Crew could win a playoff series for the first time in six years, but le...2675Mon, 30 Sep 2024 23:05:51 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-other-pat-murphy-maxim-to-which-the-brewers-must-adhere-in-the-postseason-r2672/Pat Murphy has proven to be a media-friendly manager in his first full season in the role. His authentic and straightforward communication has made him a source of quotes and soundbites all year long. It was no surprise, then, when the Brewers adopted one of Murphy’s unofficial mottos as the tag...2672Mon, 30 Sep 2024 13:30:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-playoff-scenarios-wild-card-series-start-times-where-to-watch-sitting-pretty-r2673/Sunday brought clarity for the Brewers about their playoff series this week--but only in terms of at what times and on which channels the games can be found. The question of whom they'll play will have to be settled Monday, far from Milwaukee, by a doubleheader between the Mets and Atlanta....2673Mon, 30 Sep 2024 11:45:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-turbulent-flight-of-joel-payamps-has-finally-come-in-for-smooth-landing-r2667/In 2023, Joel Payamps was an integral part of the Brewers bullpen. He was the main setup man for the team, pitching to a 2.55 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and a 26.8% strikeout rate. His four-seam/slider combo was great, and allowed him to achieve both strikeouts and mostly soft contact, boasting a barr...2667Fri, 27 Sep 2024 11:31:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-anchor-of-the-leagues-best-defense-brice-turang-turned-out-not-to-need-a-quantum-leap-r2665/The more you watch Brice Turang play, the more involved you want him to be in your team. Maybe that, as much as the dearth of great alternatives after Christian Yelich's back took him out of commission, is what has kept Pat Murphy writing Turang's name in at the top of the Brewers batting order...2665Thu, 26 Sep 2024 17:12:48 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-this-outfielder-be-the-brewers-sparkplug-in-october-r2664/The young, energetic sparkplug isn’t a requirement of a world series team, but it is a common denominator among the underdog overachievers. Each of the Rays, Diamondbacks and Rangers were long shots to reach the World Series in their respective seasons, and those hot bats were a massive part of...2664Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:53:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-rookie-joey-ortiz-makes-his-own-strike-zone-just-like-his-veteran-teammate-r2663/Early this season, I wrote about the skill at which Rhys Hoskins excels, but which many fans probably didn't realize existed: batter framing. It's a funny way to think about the game, because even catchers framing pitches to earn extra calls has only emerged into the analytical consciousness of...2663Wed, 25 Sep 2024 22:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/these-two-situational-keys-will-determine-how-good-freddy-peralta-is-for-brewers-in-playoffs-r2659/Freddy Peralta would confess that this season hasn’t gone to plan. He has tinkered a lot with his approach and his release point over the course of the campaign, and his most recent version of that seems to involve staying out of the heart of the zone altogether. So far in September, Peralta has...2659Wed, 25 Sep 2024 13:22:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/hoby-milner-is-making-a-strong-push-for-the-brewers-playoff-bullpen-r2662/When the Brewers activated Hoby Milner from the injured list and optioned Bryan Hudson to Triple-A during the first week of September, the move served multiple functions. The club wanted Hudson to work on rediscovering his best stuff in a low-pressure environment. Meanwhile, Milner, who struggle...2662Wed, 25 Sep 2024 11:46:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-defense-carries-the-heavy-load-for-pitching-staffs-run-prevention-r2661/Even with a stronger offense in 2024, Milwaukee remains defined by its pitching and defense. Despite the Brewers cycling through 13 starting pitchers (not counting “openers”) and 12 relievers earning at least one save, the staff rolls on successfully. Entering the final week of the season, they...2661Tue, 24 Sep 2024 23:07:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/jackson-chourio-batting-order-lefties-blake-perkins-playoffs/Jackson Chourio has become arguably the most potent threat in the Brewers lineup in the second half of 2024, and he’s been nothing short of dominant since the beginning of June. However, on 31 occasions, the Brewers have put Chourio in the “wrong” slot of the lineup, often against left-handed st...2650Tue, 24 Sep 2024 17:24:01 +0000
