The Brewers' slugging backstop doesn't work that way. In the age of the optimized, uniform, highly grooved swing, Contreras is an agent of chaos. He's a...2015Thu, 11 Apr 2024 11:05:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/are-tyler-black-and-joey-wiemer-pushing-for-major-league-promotions-r1999/Unfortunately, neither of the two players most primed for a call-up have gotten off to hot starts on the terms most specifically important to them, although Tyler Black is hitting .304/.392/.435. Joey Wiemer has faced some bad luck on batted balls, and is hitting just .120/.214/.160, with some f...1999Wed, 10 Apr 2024 13:21:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/vladimir-gutierrez-needs-a-new-fastball-and-the-brewers-can-give-him-one-r2012/The starting rotation was the most precarious area of the Brewers’ roster entering the season. Milwaukee added to that mix last week by acquiring righthander Vladimir Gutierrez. He’s been assigned to Triple-A Nashville, but could soon make some starts or long relief appearances for the parent cl...2012Wed, 10 Apr 2024 11:54:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/like-backstreet-willy-adames-is-back-alright-r2011/Last year brought mixed results for Willy Adames. He was one of the best defenders in all of baseball, accumulating 16 Outs Above Average (OAA), sixth-highest for any position. He also ranked sixth in Defensive Runs Saved (DRS) among shortstops, with 8. Unfortunately, his bat couldn’t keep up wi...2011Tue, 09 Apr 2024 14:10:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/turang-yelich-chourio-base-stealing-value-new-rules/Increased team speed and athleticism has impelled an increase in aggressiveness from the Brewers so far in 2024.

There's a promising youth movement on in Cincinnati, but are their talents refined enough to take on the Crew, or raw enough to be overcome?

The Milwaukee offense set season highs in runs scored and hits, and William Contreras erupted from a lukewarm start to the year with a 4-for-5 day that featured two home runs. Amid all the action, though,...2007Mon, 08 Apr 2024 11:12:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/week-in-review-building-momentum-r2006/  Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 3-2 (6-2) Runs Scored: 27 Runs Surrendered: 23 Standing:  2nd NL Central (1.0 GB) *** Game 4 | MIL 3, MN 2 Game 5 | MN 7, MIL 3 Game 6 | MIL 6, SEA 5 Game 7 | SEA 5, MIL 3 Game 8 | MIL 12, SEA 4 *** Transactions 04/06...2006Mon, 08 Apr 2024 00:16:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/abner-uribe-four-seamer-sinker-slider-whiff-rates-usage/Abner Uribe’s four-seamer was the headline-making pitch for him last season, averaging triple-digit velocity and topping out at 103.3 miles per hour. Hitters had an expected slugging percentage of just .254, so it was a highly effective pitch that allowed him to target the top of the strike zone...1998Sun, 07 Apr 2024 11:22:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/two-strategic-flaws-derailed-an-otherwise-strong-start-for-freddy-peralta-r2000/It was a tale of two outings for Freddy Peralta on Friday night.
