The Brewers led the Reds 5-4 in the top of the ninth inning, with two outs and two runners on base. They had just intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz to get to Santiago Espinal, the light-hitting utility infielde...2280Mon, 17 Jun 2024 17:07:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-angels-dont-sleep-on-the-angels-young-players-r2277/When Shohei Ohtani decided to go with the other Los Angeles team, it seemed pretty likely that the deflated Angels wouldn’t be particularly competitive in 2024. Still, I doubt many people predicted they’d be sitting just two games ahead of the Athletics toward the end of June. The Brewers begin...2277Mon, 17 Jun 2024 15:10:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/blake-perkins-is-well-past-being-just-a-nice-extra-guy-r2276/If you start by setting a baseline for playing time from ages 24-27, then look for center fielders with an OPS+ between 90 and 105 and at least 20 Fielding Runs above average (Rfield, on Baseball Reference), you can find a list of pretty good comps for Blake Perkins at this moment.

His ERA- is 75, meaning he's allowed roughly 25 percent fewer earned runs than you'd expect, adjusting for the league and park contexts in which he's pitched. His bulk appearance Saturday against the Reds pushed him to 140 innings...2271Sun, 16 Jun 2024 14:07:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-starter-rotation-ace-pitcher-trade-proposal-garrett-crochet-jesus-luzardo/The Brewers have spent several years stocking up their minor league quality using impressive drafting to become one of the top farm systems in the league. They have a particular need this year, and potentially into the next two years as well and they could address that in the here and now with s...2269Sun, 16 Jun 2024 11:53:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-the-2024-brewers-offense-is-so-dynamic-line-drives-r2263/The Milwaukee Brewers have created a dynamic offense that ranked seventh in Major League Baseball in runs scored in 2024. The biggest difference between this year’s offense and the 2023 team, which ranked 17th in the league in runs, is better outcomes on batted balls in play. The Brewers ranked...2263Sat, 15 Jun 2024 14:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/new-york-mets-trade-deadline-pete-alonso-luis-severino/Over the last couple of days and weeks, we have even looked at teams that may be trade partners for the Brewers. If you’d like to read any of those, scroll to the bottom of this article. In this next team, we will look at a team with a familiar face within the organization.

Replicating their respective seasons, the Reds split their two-game set against the Guardians, and the Brewers confidently took two of three against the Blue Jays.
