While both have played first, second, and third base in their professional careers, the similarities may not quite hold up. Black and Paredes, Compared According to Baseball-Reference, T...2297Sun, 23 Jun 2024 11:57:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-padres-the-west-coast-trip-continues-r2287/The Crew stays in Southern California, traveling about an hour and a half down I-5 from Anaheim to San Diego. Milwaukee's momentum has been steady, whereas the Padres are staring down the barrel of another season where the talent and the projections don’t match the outcome. The Padres sit two ga...2287Thu, 20 Jun 2024 16:10:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/downgraded-slider-is-keeping-joel-payamps-from-reaching-last-seasons-heights-r2289/Shortly before Opening Day, I suggested two adjustments for Joel Payamps regarding his fastball usage. 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. In the bottom of the ninth, though, the halos mounted an incursion, putting three runs on the board and forcing Pat Murphy to wheel through two other pitchers and lan...2286Wed, 19 Jun 2024 11:49:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trevor-megills-curveball-is-harder-shorter-and-nastier-than-ever-r2281/The Brewers lost closer Devin Williams in spring training to stress fractures in his back, but the bullpen has hardly missed a beat as its star reliever recovers. Milwaukee’s relief corps enters Tuesday with a 79 ERA-, the second-best league-adjusted ERA in baseball. Trevor Megill has contr...2281Tue, 18 Jun 2024 23:05:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-nl-central-team-is-the-biggest-threat-to-the-brewers-this-season-r2279/The Brewers weren’t supposed to be leading the National League Central this year. National pundits felt they would be rebuilding or retooling or just not that good. It isn’t a surprise to Brewers fans that the team has put together the pieces to be a winning team. What is surprising is just how...2279Tue, 18 Jun 2024 14:18:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-anatomy-of-a-baseball-defense-miracle-r2280/Let's set the scene completely, because in a moment like this, everything matters. 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.
