It's a stand-in for overall quality of play and control of the action, meant to help one discern when the scoreboard isn't telling the whole story. In world football, a graphic pops up fairly often to...2413Thu, 18 Jul 2024 23:11:10 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/3-brewers-players-who-exceeded-expectations-in-the-first-half-r2412/While they were very much counted as part of the race, the Brewers didn't enter the 2024 season as favorites to win the NL Central. Yet, at the All-Star break, there they sit, four and a half games ahead of the Cardinals atop the division standings. To be so much outstripping their preseason pro...2412Thu, 18 Jul 2024 15:34:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sal-frelick-is-finding-his-timing-and-heating-up-r2409/Coming into the year, many expected Sal Frelick to make the kind of quantum leap that (instead) Brice Turang has made, with gap-to-gap power complementing elite bat-to-ball skills and defense. There was even an expectation of more power production from Frelick than Turang has shown so far, but i...2409Wed, 17 Jul 2024 15:19:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/as-william-contreras-savors-his-spotlight-moment-will-brewers-consider-extending-him-r2406/Just before Opening Day, the Dodgers signed the man most people believed to be the best catcher in the National League--and perhaps the best in baseball--to a 10-year, $140-million deal. It was shocking for its length, given that Will Smith was gearing up for his age-29 season, but the length is...2406Tue, 16 Jul 2024 23:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-the-brewers-being-emotionally-drained-by-the-all-star-break-cause-concern-r2394/Pairing short starts, extensive bullpen usage and a grinding, scrape-and-scramble offense can wear any team down over a 100-day period. The Brewers are in a funk at the moment, and seem desperate for the All-Star break to arrive yet again. However, the problem remains: After this five-day respit...2394Mon, 15 Jul 2024 13:06:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/week-in-review-sliding-into-the-break-r2395/Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 2-4 (55-42 Overall) Runs Scored: 26 Runs Surrendered: 27 Standing: 1st NL Central (4.5 GA) *** Game 92 | PIT 12, MIL 2 Game 93 | MIL 9, PIT 0 Game 94 | PIT 1, MIL 0 Game 95 | WSH 5, MIL 2 Game 96 | WSH 6, MIL 5 Game 97 ...2395Sun, 14 Jul 2024 21:15:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/better-days-should-lie-ahead-for-hoby-milner-r2388/Hoby Milner has allowed 13 runs in his last 11 ⅔ innings of work, inflating his season ERA to 4.81. Opponents have scored in eight of his 12 appearances during that stretch. In his latest appearance on Friday night, Milner surrendered a run in two innings. The first inning of that outing ep...2388Sun, 14 Jul 2024 13:13:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/nationals-vs-brewers-jesse-winkers-revenge-r2384/The Brewers are enjoying another season at the top of their division, and the once-dismal Nationals have rebuilt themselves into a respectable team of young scrappers with high ceilings. Can the Brewers go into the All-Star break holding their spot atop the NL Central, or do the Nationals prove...2384Fri, 12 Jul 2024 15:12:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/william-contreras-art-of-framing-setups-signals/Pitch framing was the first huge, game-changing insight we gained when PITCHf/x started capturing data on every pitch thrown in MLB, over 15 years ago.
