Through May 24, Contreras had played in all 50 of his team’s games, while posting a gaudy .337/.412/.538 line. His 167 wRC+ led qualified catchers and ranked ninth among qualif...2307Tue, 25 Jun 2024 11:53:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/pitching-prospect-carlos-rodriguez-pitch-mix-changes-stats/In scouting parlance, there are some common turns of phrase that attach themselves to particular players with unusual tenacity. For Carlos Rodriguez, the one that stuck was "kitchen sink." Rodriguez doesn't throw hard (by big-league standards) or have any one offering with which he's capable of...2305Mon, 24 Jun 2024 23:07:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-come-home-from-west-coast-set-to-mess-with-texas-r2301/Returning to American Family Field, the Brewers can take advantage of some home cooking, at the place where they have played .647 ball, winning 22 of 34 games. The Texas Rangers come into town, riding a miniature hot streak of four straight wins.

Let’s take a look at the different tiers of possible rental options, and throw out some potential of...2298Mon, 24 Jun 2024 11:54:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/week-in-review-sun-beaches-and-mediocrity-r2300/Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 3-4 (45-33) Runs Scored: 32 Runs Surrendered: 32 Standing: 1st NL Central (5.0 GA)   *** Game 72 | LAA 5, MIL 3 Game 73 | MIL 6, LAA 3 Game 74 | MIL 2, LAA 0 Game 75 | SD 7, MIL 6 Game 76 | SD 9, MIL 5 Game 77 | SD 6, MIL 4 Game 78 | MIL 6, SD 2...2300Mon, 24 Jun 2024 00:05:25 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/let-tyler-black-be-tyler-black-r2297/A recent article suggested that Black has some similarities to Tampa Rays third baseman Isaac Paredes. While both have played first, second, and third base in their professional careers, the similarities may not quite hold up.

The first was to throw more four-seam fastballs, to generate more swings and misses. The second was to emphasize the inner third of the zone with his two-seamer to produce jam shots, rather tha...2289Thu, 20 Jun 2024 11:51:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-bullpen-trades-declan-cronin-michael-kelly-bryan-abreu/Upon reading the title, a discerning fan or typically judicious Facebook reader might remark, “Hey, isn’t our bullpen already pretty darn good? In fact, aren’t they fourth in MLB by team ERA with a mark of 3.20? Shouldn’t we go out and get starters instead?” While the number is undeniably correc...2282Wed, 19 Jun 2024 13:11:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sal-frelick-says-hey-a-heroic-catch-on-a-momentous-night-r2286/Ho hum. It was just another win for the Brewers Tuesday night, as they jumped out to a 6-0 lead on the hapless Angels in Anaheim.
