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. Mark Feinsand reported that swingman Jakob Junis and outfielder Joey Wi...2463Tue, 30 Jul 2024 02:17:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-will-recent-bullpen-injuries-affect-the-brewers-trade-deadline-approach-r2462/It was recently announced that Trevor Megill, the team’s closer in Devin Williams’ absence, has hit the 15-day injured list due to back issues. 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 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/so-far-the-art-of-doubling-up-eludes-william-contreras-r2459/Pitch-calling is the most subtle, mysterious, and semi-spurious art of the great defensive catcher. 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 +0000
