Among them, Freddy Peralta has the seventh-highest average number of pitches per batter faced, at 4.19. At the end of his first trip through the Giants batting order Wednesday night in Milwaukee, he had already thrown 47...2567Thu, 29 Aug 2024 13:29:15 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/joey-ortiz-needs-to-be-in-the-top-half-of-the-brewers-lineup-r2566/As always, with lineup construction discourse, many people think batting order doesn’t matter--that it's a pointless argument. I generally disagree, and believe there are mental and “skill diversity” aspects that have an impact. Thus, the Milwaukee Brewers need to give Joey Ortiz a serious run i...2566Thu, 29 Aug 2024 11:41:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/joey-ortiz-has-played-great-defense-for-brewers-but-has-he-been-part-of-willy-adamess-problem-r2564/Until this season, Willy Adames was one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball. Specifically, in fact, he was exceptionally good at making the play on balls hit to his right. In 2022, he was 12 plays better than an average shortstop on such batted balls, according to Sports Info Solutions....2564Wed, 28 Aug 2024 22:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/soft-and-low-pitches-were-jackson-chourios-kryptonite-now-he-demolishes-them-r2562/Jackson Chourio added another accolade to his explosive rookie season Tuesday night, when he crushed the Brewers’ longest home run of the season. It was a 449-foot blast off the American Family Field video board, to give his team an early lead. The pitch was a mistake by Logan Webb, who mis...2562Wed, 28 Aug 2024 11:36:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/christian-yelich-optimistic-his-back-surgery-will-improve-his-long-term-health-r2560/A week-and-a-half removed from season-ending back surgery, Christian Yelich is back with the Brewers. Facing reporters in the Brewers dugout for the first time since the operation, Yelich provided more insight into the procedure, how it became a necessity, and his long-term outlook. Yelich...2560Tue, 27 Aug 2024 23:15:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewer-hicklen-vs-tyler-black-who-should-get-brewers-september-call-up-r2559/No, Brewer Hicklen probably isn't the next Blake Perkins, or Tobias Myers. He came into the Brewers organization at an older age than either of their recent, notable scrapheap scoop-ups, and there isn't a tool in his profile quite as impressive as Perkins's glove. He's striking out 28 percent of...2559Tue, 27 Aug 2024 11:45:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-20-year-old-hitters-like-jackson-chourio-have-done-in-past-octobers-r2558/Since 1974, there are just 10 players who have taken at least five postseason plate appearances at age 20 or younger. This October, Jackson Chourio will join that group--though he might not even be the only player to do so, with Jackson Holliday establishing himself as a part of the Orioles mix....2558Mon, 26 Aug 2024 23:07:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/aaron-ashby-is-back-with-the-brewers-can-his-restored-velocity-keep-him-there-r2557/Aaron Ashby has had a less-than-ideal past two years. After missing all of 2023 due to serious issues with his left shoulder, he came back this season as a diminished version of his former self. His velocity was down across the board, an understandable side effect of an extended layoff and rehab...2557Mon, 26 Aug 2024 11:45:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/by-embracing-the-intentional-walk-pat-murphys-brewers-have-bucked-a-modern-baseball-trend-r2554/When Pat Murphy signaled to intentionally walk Brent Rooker in the seventh inning of Saturday’s win over the Oakland Athletics, it was the 22nd time the Brewers elected to send an opposing hitter directly to first base. Only four teams have issued more intentional walks. It’s a dramatic str...2554Sun, 25 Aug 2024 14:27:51 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/anatomy-of-an-at-bat-jared-koenig-halted-athletics-by-beating-jj-bleday-r2553/The Brewers headed into the seventh inning with a 5-3 lead over Oakland. After a single and stolen base by Zack Gelof, lefty Jared Koenig was tasked with getting the final out of the inning. His sixth pitch to Daz Cameron, a sinker in the heart of the strike zone, was battered into right field f...2553Sun, 25 Aug 2024 00:47:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-william-contreras-obsession-with-fastballs-hurting-the-brewers-r2551/William Contreras calls fastball variations more regularly than any other catcher in baseball outside of Yasmani Grandal. And at least Grandal has the excuse of Jared Jones' and Paul Skenes' elite fastballs to justify it. Contreras has some justification in that pitchers like Colin Rea, Frankie...2551Sat, 24 Aug 2024 11:49:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-the-brewers-extend-colin-rea-r2538/That’s the odyssey of Colin Rea. He’s gone from a usable back-of-the-rotation pitcher to a solid No. 3 pitcher, as has been detailed here on multiple occasions. He’s even become capable of dominating, going seven innings without allowing an earned run against the Guardians on Aug. 18 and against...2538Fri, 23 Aug 2024 15:16:02 +0000
