Hoskins strained his right hamstring on Monday night, and after he decided against seeking a second opinion, the club placed him on the injured list the following afternoon. In response to losing their st...2154Fri, 17 May 2024 14:09:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/visiting-an-old-friend-brewers-head-to-houston-to-tackle-ailing-astros-r2152/In 2023, a stalwart team synonymous with winning their division fell from first to worst, when the Cardinals unceremoniously plummeted to the NL Central’s cellar. As the season reaches the quarter mark, it looks like the lousy play of the Cardinals wasn’t just a fluke, and now, they have another...2152Fri, 17 May 2024 11:26:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/episode-7-revenge-of-jake-bauers-r2153/Jack and Spencer discuss another successful homestand, an offensive onslaught, Robert Gasser's debut, Jake Bauers breaking out at the plate, and much more.

When Joey Ortiz got to the ballpark on Apr. 24, he had a slash line of .279/.392/.349 to his name. In his first 51 plate appearances as a Milwaukee Brewer, he was walking 15.7 percent of the time and only striking out 15.7 percent of...2150Thu, 16 May 2024 16:44:05 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/roster-moves-bring-medium-term-plan-into-focus-for-first-place-brewers-r2147/On Wednesday, the Brewers optioned struggling infielder Oliver Dunn to the minor leagues, in favor of outfielder Chris Roller. After scooping up Roller amid the Guardians' roster crunch last August, the Brewers will now call on him for the first time. Roller is a right-handed batter and exclusiv...2147Wed, 15 May 2024 17:17:31 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/jake-bauers-is-tip-toeing-and-toe-tapping-his-way-to-success-r2145/Some Brewers fans balked when the team traded Jace Avina and Brian Sanchez for Jake Bauers last November. Many close watchers of the farm system predicted Avina would have a breakout season, while Bauers had some flashy underlying metrics but no real substance to back it up. Very rarely does a p...2145Wed, 15 May 2024 13:17:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/colin-reas-splitter-finally-got-to-shine-on-monday-night-r2143/Brewers starter Colin Rea entered his start on Monday night having thrown his splitter 5.1% of the time this season. That constituted a continuation of his approach from last year, when 5.6% of his pitches were splitters. Rea worked on the offspeed pitch over the winter and during spring tr...2143Wed, 15 May 2024 11:39:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-it-time-to-option-jackson-chourio-to-nashville-r2137/It’s not like such a move would alter the service time dynamics--not with that massive extension Jackson Chourio signed over the winter. But in the series against St. Louis, he did not start any of the first three games, and in the last game of the series, he went 0-for-2 and drew a walk.

Jakob Junis and Wade Miley were both placed on the 60-day IL, joining Brandon Woodruff. DL Hall was placed on the 15-day IL with a left knee sprain and, according to Pat Murphy, he’s pr...2135Tue, 14 May 2024 13:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/pat-murphy-and-the-brewers-are-trying-to-avoid-complacency-r2142/Sunday afternoon’s series finale against the Cardinals marked the Brewers’ 40th game and the near quarter-mark of the 2024 season. With that in mind, Pat Murphy was asked the following afternoon for his thoughts on his club’s performance so far. “I’ve had a good time,” he quipped. Ther...2142Tue, 14 May 2024 11:56:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/young-hyped-up-pirates-come-to-milwaukee-ready-to-be-knocked-down-a-peg-r2140/As the sun set over Milwaukee on Saturday evening, the Brewers were celebrating another win over the St. Louis Cardinals and a +36 run differential while sitting atop the NL Central. One division rival deserves another, and as the Cards lick their wounds and take their leaves, the Pirates move i...2140Mon, 13 May 2024 14:08:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/william-contreras-bat-tracking-data-new-stats-all-star/About a quarter of the way through the 2024 season, it's not looking good for most of my bold predictions for the Brewers. That's ok; it's in the nature of bold predictions. It still feels a little bit good, though, to report that one of the prognostications about which I felt the strongest seem...2138Mon, 13 May 2024 11:40:01 +0000
