Signed to a minor-league contract in December, Zastryzny has had a str...2339Tue, 02 Jul 2024 13:11:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/bold-predictions-contreras-peralta-chourio-hoskins/For all my reasoning in making these predictions in the first place, you can consult the original piece. This time through, I'll just restate the prediction and assess whether it looks likely to come to fruition (or even close) or not. Boldness is part of the privilege of spring.

He’s a high-octane player with a higher ceiling than either Blake Perkins or Sal F...2337Mon, 01 Jul 2024 14:12:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brice-turang-is-hitting-more-home-runs-because-he-stopped-trying-to-hit-them-r2334/Brice Turang started the Brewers’ run of hitting five grand slams in eight games when he homered in San Diego last week, and he delivered the latest one in yesterday’s series finale against the division-rival Cubs. That second slam was Turang’s sixth home run of the year, tying his total from la...2334Mon, 01 Jul 2024 11:20:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/week-in-review-grand-slams-and-sad-cub-fans-r2332/Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 5-1 (50-34) Runs Scored: 29 Runs Surrendered: 17 Standing: 1st NL Central (6.5 GA) *** Game 79 | MIL 6, TEX 3 Game 80 | MIL 3, TEX 1 Game 81 | MIL 6, TEX 5 Game 82 | MIL 4, CHC 2 Game 83 | CHC 5, MIL 3 Game 84 | MIL 7, CHC 1 ***...2332Sun, 30 Jun 2024 21:15:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-have-become-the-most-aggressive-base-stealers-in-mlb-r2330/Early this season, the face of being aggressive in stealing bases was division rival Elly De La Cruz and his Cincinnati Reds. Another division rival (the ones they've hosted this weekend) has been similarly manic on the bases over the last six weeks or so. In the last 30 days, though, no team in...2330Sun, 30 Jun 2024 17:18:11 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-best-move-for-the-brewers-at-the-trade-deadline-may-be-to-do%E2%80%A6-nothing-r2329/As the team hits the halfway mark of the season, it’s time to seriously consider the club's weaknesses and what can be done to address them. But let’s be clear: just because the club identifies a weakness, it doesn’t mean it should overpay to address that issue. Let’s look at each position...2329Sun, 30 Jun 2024 13:57:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/three-things-weve-learned-about-the-2024-brewers-in-the-seasons-first-half-r2326/The Brewers opened the mathematical second half of the regular season with a win over the division-rival Cubs at home. At this juncture, the club finds itself in a better position than even the more optimistic preseason predictions forecasted: the third-best winning percentage (.598) in the Nati...2326Sat, 29 Jun 2024 14:45:11 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/garrett-mitchell-v-sal-frelick-which-way-do-the-brewers-go-r2319/Thankfully, Garrett Mitchell's hamstring issue on Wednesday was of no longer-term concern, so this is an intriguing dilemma. Both Mitchell and Sal Frelick are hitting their stride. Frelick is fighting and scrapping his way on base, and has started to put better swings on balls with 34% of his sw...2319Fri, 28 Jun 2024 13:23:55 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/jackson-chourio-june-hitting-brewers-prospect/It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Jackson Chourio still has quite a few kinks to iron out in his approach. At just twenty years old, the general expectation was that his development was incomplete but would benefit from major league reps. So far, that belief has proven to be pretty spot on.
