There's nothing easy about piecing together a starting rotation after losing one ace to a devastating, career-alterin...2640Wed, 18 Sep 2024 21:26:57 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/ernesto-martinez-tyler-black-rhys-hoskins-batted-ball-data-southern-league-player-of-week/Coming into the 2024 season, most outlets projected Tyler Black as the incumbent to take over first base duties within the season. A player with capable range at third base, you would expect Black to provide plus defense if moved to first base, but that hasn’t been the case. Combine the defensiv...2639Wed, 18 Sep 2024 15:29:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/mechanical-tweaks-have-transformed-his-pitch-mix-and-now-frankie-montas-can-dominate-again-r2638/He ran into a spot of trouble in the sixth and took the loss, but Frankie Montas also struck out 10 Phillies Tuesday night. That gives him 28 punchouts over his last three starts, and he looks increasingly like a lock to start for the Brewers even in a short playoff series. When that postseason...2638Wed, 18 Sep 2024 11:48:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-immeasurable-one-last-way-pat-murphy-sees-value-in-squaring-to-bunt-and-why-hes-right-r2636/It was right after the All-Star break, and the Brewers were in Minnesota, playing the Twins. During the morning media session with manager Pat Murphy, the skipper asked the assembled group where his club ranked in terms of total bunt attempts.

Rhys Hoskins had walked to lead off the inning, and Frelick knew Suárez--who has good control--wouldn't want to put another runner on base. He was going to get something fat. Indeed, Suárez threw Frelick...2635Tue, 17 Sep 2024 11:48:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-outlook-is-bright-for-the-brewers-in-the-division-but-only-a-flicker-of-hope-for-a-bye-exists-r2634/The Brewers are currently the MLB team most likely to win their division. This is more like waiting for the leaves to start falling than an actual division race. It is going to happen; the only question is when. The magic number for clinching the division is three, with 13 games to play.

Despite being a back-of-the-rotation guy in 2023, he ascended to new heights in 2024. After his 19th start on Aug. 6, he had a 3.38 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. Since then, he’s managed just one quality start, while conceding seven or m...2628Mon, 16 Sep 2024 11:36:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sal-frelicks-latest-amazing-catch-was-another-reminder-of-his-excellence-in-right-field-r2630/Before a seven-run second inning that gave the Brewers a healthy lead they would not relinquish against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Sal Frelick briefly took center stage with a tremendous catch to begin the bottom of the first inning.
