As delicate a skill as pitch-framing is, it's essentially physical. Sequencing pitches to outsmart an opponent, though, is a much more layered and difficult thing to master. It requires many thing...2459Mon, 29 Jul 2024 13:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-the-brewers-offense-in-serious-trouble-r2454/Throughout any marathon, 162-game MLB season, even the best offenses will go into multiple slumps. Typically, the top run-scoring clubs limit the frequency and length of such struggles. So are the 2024 Milwaukee Brewers in the midst of a long slump – or a couple of slumps – that will turn at any...2454Mon, 29 Jul 2024 11:54:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/weeks-in-review-up-down-and-everything-in-between-r2457/Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week(s): 5-3 (60-45 Overall) Runs Scored: 32 Runs Surrendered: 31 Standing: 1st NL Central (6.0 GA) *** Game 98 | MIL 8, MIN 4 Game 99 | MIL 8, MIN 7 Game 101 | CHC 3, MIL 1 Game 101 | MIL 1, CHC 0 Game 102 | MIL 3, CHC 2 Game 103 | MIA 6,...2457Sun, 28 Jul 2024 21:24:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-nick-mearss-pitch-mix-and-profile-bring-something-different-to-brewers-bullpen-r2455/On Saturday evening, the Brewers traded for relief pitcher Nick Mears from the Colorado Rockies, giving up Yujanyer Herrera and Bradley Blalock. Mears has a 5.56 ERA this season, which doesn’t jump off the page, but it does initially appear that he’s been burned to some extent by his defense, gi...2455Sun, 28 Jul 2024 15:26:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/this-is-what-young-people-and-young-teams-go-through-r2453/There's a soupçon of panic in the air around Brewers fans right now. The team has gone 4-3 in their first seven games out of the All-Star break, but it would be hard to design a much less encouraging 4-3 stretch, and that was after a 5-8 stumble into the intermission. Besides, it's not really ab...2453Sun, 28 Jul 2024 11:17:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-acquire-reliever-nick-mears-from-rockies-for-bradley-blalock-yujanjer-herrera-r2451/The Brewers joined the increasing flurry of trade deadline action on Saturday afternoon, acquiring right-handed reliever Nick Mears from the Colorado Rockies for prospects Bradley Blalock and Yujanyer Herrera.

Only seven teams enter Saturday more than six games back of a postseason birth, and few clubs appear to be clear-cut sellers. Most are on the bubble, residing in...2449Sat, 27 Jul 2024 15:12:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/5-left-handed-hitters-the-brewers-can-trade-for-at-the-deadline-r2448/It looks like the Brewers will be short of their former MVP for a good chunk of time. Upon the reports that Christian Yelich will be trying to rest and go through rehab to avoid major back surgery, the Brewers will have to find a way to fill the void left behind. While replacing a talent like Ye...2448Sat, 27 Jul 2024 11:50:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-have-a-willy-adames-decision-to-make-this-winter-all-have-risk-reward-potential-r2444/Overview Willy Adames came to the Brewers in a 2021 trade that saw pitchers Drew Rasmussen and J.P. Feyereisen get shipped to the Rays. The deal has worked out well for Milwaukee, with Adames becoming one of the best shortstops the Brewers have had in their history, posting a .773 OPS with 91...2444Fri, 26 Jul 2024 16:17:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brice-turang-is-back-in-bad-habits-does-the-trade-market-hold-the-solution-r2446/At the end of play on May 15, Brice Turang looked like an All-Star in the making. He was playing his usual stellar defense and racking up stolen bases by the handful, but most importantly, he was batting ..300/.361/.414 in 139 plate appearances. Turang, 24, seemed to have figured out how to use...2446Fri, 26 Jul 2024 11:50:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-cutter-keeps-coming-along-as-bryan-hudson-tries-to-keep-hitters-guessing-r2443/Everyone who's watched baseball for years knew this stretch was coming for Bryan Hudson. He pitched so impressively during spring training that he won a roster spot relatively easily, and over the first two months of the season, he was one of the best relievers in baseball. He did it all without...2443Thu, 25 Jul 2024 22:04:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/yelichinjury-surgery-trade-candidates-arozarena-rooker/The best possible news for the Brewers would be for Christian Yelich to finally fix his long-term, nagging back issue, while still returning in time for September and/or October (assuming the Brewers reach the postseason). From Yelich’s quotes, however, it sounds like season-ending surgery is ve...2440Thu, 25 Jul 2024 18:07:01 +0000
