July was the first month he got major league at-bats with Milwaukee, and he made the most ou...2474Fri, 02 Aug 2024 19:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-ace-freddy-peralta-making-mysterious-changes-as-season-progresses-r2476/By now, you should be well aware that part of what makes Freddy Peralta special is his adaptability. The man once known as Fastball Freddy has become solidly four-pitch Freddy at times over the last two seasons. His slider is so manipulable and lethal that it effectively plays as four different...2476Fri, 02 Aug 2024 11:55:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-does-their-trade-deadline-say-about-brewers-plans-for-the-final-months-r2470/With many discussions going on behind the scenes, Matt Arnold decided to stick with the players they had offensively, while bolstering their pitching ranks with acquisitions of Frankie Montas, Aaron Civale and Nick Mears in the month of July. Mears is a Stuff+ darling with strong recent results,...2470Thu, 01 Aug 2024 15:07:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/i-was-really-hoping-jake-could-jump-into-this-jake-bauers-has-an-opportunity-to-be-the-left-handed-bat-the-brewers-need-r2471/It was a rough week for the Brewers’ offense to close out July, but one bright spot was a series of notable contributions from Jake Bauers. Starting in left field against the Marlins on Sunday, Bauers erased an early 1-0 deficit with a go-ahead home run in the bottom of the first inning. He...2471Thu, 01 Aug 2024 11:46:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/joe-rosss-uneven-return-resurrects-questions-about-his-best-role-with-brewers-r2467/Joe Ross’s first big-league start since late May was a tale of two outings. The righthander’s first voyage through the Braves lineup was successful. He retired the first eight men he faced, notched a pair of strikeouts, and held hitters to an average exit velocity of 85.3 mph. Things flippe...2467Wed, 31 Jul 2024 16:03:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/did-the-brewers-do-enough-at-the-deadline-r2469/While other teams scrambled to find new bats and arms in July, the Brewers were like a Prius at a muscle car meet: relatively quiet. They added no new position players, and instead picked up two project starters, an intriguing reliever, and a 30-year-old rookie. Here is the list of all of the de...2469Wed, 31 Jul 2024 11:43:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-take-what-comes-to-them-at-2024-mlb-trade-deadline-r2466/In the most basic sense, the Brewers checked off the top item on their trade deadline wishlist: innings. Matt Arnold told Milwaukee media last week that length was still his club's most pressing need, even after acquiring righthander Aaron Civale from the Rays earlier this month. In the fol...2466Wed, 31 Jul 2024 00:27:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/frankie-montas-trade-analysis-need-more-deadline/Trading for two players with an ERA over 5.00 doesn’t usually fit into the trade deadline plans for a playoff competitor, and unlike Nick Mears, there has been no obvious misfortune in Frankie Montas conceding these runs, with peripheral metrics backing them up. Montas has some assets that were...2464Tue, 30 Jul 2024 12:12:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-brewers-will-heal-frankie-montas-fixing-splits-scooting-over-and-the-standard-remix-r2465/In 2021 and for the first four months of 2022, Frankie Montas was one of the best starting pitchers in baseball. In the latest (sadly, last) surprise season of competitiveness from the Oakland Athletics, Montas was their ace, with 187 innings pitched, 207 strikeouts, and a 3.37 ERA in 32 starts....2465Tue, 30 Jul 2024 11:09:13 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-acquire-frankie-montas-in-three-player-deal-with-reds-r2463/The Brewers have reportedly swung their second trade for pitching in just over 48 hours, with Robert Murray breaking the news that rental starter Frankie Montas is coming to Milwaukee from the division-rival Cincinnati Reds.

At this point, Brewers fans are all too familiar with pitching injuries, but this is part of a bigger concern outside of another hurt pitcher.

Managers adjust and flex in response to changing circumstances, be they injuries or shifts in performance and projection. However, they also have tendencies and preferences, and when the vagaries of the season allow it, they tend to emphasize certain thin...2461Mon, 29 Jul 2024 23:04:02 +0000
