As a result, despite the painful and inauspicious loss of Wade Miley, they still have a great shot at re...2098Thu, 02 May 2024 16:03:06 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-starting-pitcher-april-2024-freddy-peralta-colin-rea-bryse-wilson/We have made it through the first month of the season. This means it’s now time to announce the Brewer Fanatic Awards for best hitting and pitching for April. This month, Jason Wang is handling the best hitters. You can find the Hitter of the Month of April 2024 elsewhere on the site this week....2089Thu, 02 May 2024 12:20:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/get-up-to-speed-on-tyler-black-the-newest-brewer-and-top-prospect-r2094/Picked 33rd overall in the 2021 draft, Black primarily spent time at second base at Wright State University. After continuing this trend for his first two minor league seasons, he moved to third base in 2023 with a handful of games spent at first base. With 60-grade hit-and-run tools, he’s a spe...2094Wed, 01 May 2024 17:12:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-pitchers-are-wisely-resisting-the-leagues-trend-toward-offspeed-stuff-r2093/The 2024 Brewers' innings puzzle has looked far different than in recent years. From a personnel standpoint, offseason departures and injuries have forced Pat Murphy’s squad to churn through an alarming number of arms one month into the season and rely heavily on relievers to compensate for shor...2093Wed, 01 May 2024 15:06:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/umpires-lack-feel-abner-uribe-lacks-maturity-in-ugly-brewers-rays-fracas-r2095/I have to lead with a disclaimer: I think the fights in which baseball players engage are childish and stupid. Only fairly massive, high-stakes personal conflicts ever need to be resolved with fists or grappling, and there's perhaps one conflict of that magnitude that plays out on a big-league d...2095Wed, 01 May 2024 14:18:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/tyler-blacks-arrival-should-push-sal-frelick-to-the-bottom-of-the-batting-order-r2088/As I wrote recently, Tyler Black has made some important developmental progress in Triple-A this spring. He now joins a Brewers positional corps that went from surging to struggling almost overnight, and the team is hoping he can deliver a jolt of new life and dynamism to that group. He can, too...2088Wed, 01 May 2024 12:52:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/monitoring-the-seasonal-workloads-of-brewers-top-relief-arms-r2087/Historically, there is a strong correlation between a team having starting pitching that goes deep into games and making the playoffs. Since 2021, 66 percent of the teams who have made the playoffs were in the top 10 in the league in starting pitcher innings thrown per game. However, 2023 provid...2087Tue, 30 Apr 2024 17:55:38 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/we-need-a-front-line-on-the-catchers-box-in-mlb-r2086/I love catcher interferences. I think they're one of the wonderful little oddities of baseball--a seemingly fluky but occasionally important part of the game, and an exposure of the ways in which the game is a little bit broken. It is with a heavy heart, therefore, that I tell you: we have to ge...2086Tue, 30 Apr 2024 12:42:49 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-the-brewers-take-advantage-of-the-reeling-rays-r2083/Staying in the AL Central for their next series, the Brewers trade out Goliath for David by bidding adieu to the Yankees and hosting the Rays. It’s a bit of an uncharacteristically slow start for the Rays who have yet to demonstrate an ability to consistently win, but they are still helmed by a...2083Mon, 29 Apr 2024 14:15:47 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-hunter-william-contrerass-fight-to-control-the-running-game-r2082/This isn't a new problem. It's been the increasingly evident "but" attached to all the well-earned praise of William Contreras's defense that has flowed forth since he joined the Brewers last spring and immediately became one of the best pitch framers in baseball. Despite his obvious athleticism...2082Mon, 29 Apr 2024 12:34:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/week-in-review-a-slight-stumble-r2081/Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 3-4 (17-10 Overall) Runs Scored: 28 Runs Surrendered: 49 Standing:  1st NL Central (0 GA/GB) Game 21 | PIT 4, MIL 2 Game 22 | PIT 2, MIL 1 Game 23 | MIL 3, PIT 2 Game 24 | MIL 7, PIT 5 Game 25 | MIL 7, NYY 6 Game 26 | NYY 15, MIL 3 Ga...2081Sun, 28 Apr 2024 22:04:45 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/blake-perkins-has-been-a-hidden-gem-in-a-crowded-brewers-outfield-r2076/Let’s turn back the clock a few weeks to right before the start of the regular season. When the Opening Day roster was announced, the biggest story was definitely the inclusion of phenom prospect Jackson Chourio, but an equally as intriguing and related topic was the Milwaukee outfield picture....2076Sun, 28 Apr 2024 13:02:02 +0000
