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 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/week-in-review-wisconsin-4-missouri-3-r2136/Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 4-3 (24-17 overall) Runs Scored: 37 Runs Surrendered: 24 Standing: 1st in NL Central (0.5 GA) *** Game 34 | KCR 3, MIL 2 Game 35 | MIL 6, KCR 5 Game 36 | KCR 6, MIL 4 Game 37 | MIL 7, STL 1 Game 38 | MIL 11, STL 2 Game 39 | MIL 5, STL 3 Game 40 | STL 4...2136Sun, 12 May 2024 20:59:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/joey-ortiz-oliver-dunn-is-there-a-method-to-pat-murphys-madness-r2130/Pat Murphy attributed the last week or so to seeing what Oliver Dunn can do when given the opportunity, and to be fair, Dunn has shown some positives. 50% of his batted balls are at least 95 mph, but unlocking that quality contact consistently has provided issues. His defense has been magnificen...2130Sun, 12 May 2024 12:14:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brice-turang-has-found-his-way-by-playing-to-his-skill-set-r2129/Brice Turang was arguably the worst offensive player in baseball as a rookie. That’s not an exaggeration. Turang’s 60 wRC+ in 448 plate appearances last year tied with Tim Anderson for the lowest in baseball among hitters with that much playing time. Those struggles raised concerns abo...2129Sat, 11 May 2024 12:54:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/get-to-know-the-newest-brewer-rhp-mitch-white-r2132/Since making his major-league debut in 2020, Mitch White has bounced around from the Dodgers, to the Blue Jays, to the Giants, and has now landed in the unmatched beauty of Wisconsin. Initially being groomed as a starter, he struggled immensely before Toronto moved him to the bullpen full-time i...2132Sat, 11 May 2024 12:15:01 +0000
