He rose quickly through the ranks in his year in their farm system before moving to Milwaukee, who pushed him aggressively to both Double-A and Triple-A ball. Spending the...2125Fri, 10 May 2024 12:13:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-the-brewers-pitching-staff-keep-surviving-their-below-average-stuff-r2126/Coming into 2024, we knew the Brewers would have to overcome some depletion of their pitching depth. Trading Corbin Burnes and losing Brandon Woodruff to injury inevitably led to some scrambling, and the team didn't spring for the high-quality replacements that another, richer organization might...2126Thu, 09 May 2024 12:07:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/episode-6-free-joey-ortiz-r2123/Jack and Spencer react to a challenging road trip, vouch for more playing time for Joey Ortiz, address concerns with Sal Frelick, and more.

Yes, their fans traveled up to Miller Park/American Family Field. But the dollars a Cubs fan spends at American Family Field are just as good as those of a Brewers fan when it comes to hiring scouts, investing in facilities for training, paying for t...2110Wed, 08 May 2024 15:28:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/rhys-hoskins-has-an-offensive-skill-you-didnt-even-know-existed-r2122/This statement will sound preposterous at first. Hear me out, though: Rhys Hoskins is one of the best pitch-framers among big-league hitters. For many fans, the very existence of pitch framing is anathema. The ability of some catchers to frame pitches and earn their batterymate more called...2122Wed, 08 May 2024 12:16:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-games-keep-coming-brewers-try-to-survive-final-week-of-grueling-schedule-stretch-r2116/Pat Murphy has been criticized in some parts for his ultra-aggressive, win-now mentality so far this season. His approach has proved successful in generating early wins, though. It’s a toss-up how that’s affected the team so far, but the Brewers have nine more games to go without another off day...2116Tue, 07 May 2024 15:09:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/its-time-to-end-the-jake-bauers-era-r2118/In four seasons (not including 2024), Jake Bauers has never had a higher batting average than .226. He has shown modest power (.361 slugging percentage), mediocre defense (at best), and a below-average hit tool. He has a .210 batting average on more than 1,400 at bats so we are not talking about...2118Tue, 07 May 2024 13:13:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/blake-perkins-is-the-most-important-story-in-the-brewers-lineup-r2119/Last year, Blake Perkins was a pretty close outfield parallel to infielders Owen Miller, Brice Turang, and Andruw Monasterio. He had fine contact skills, and he didn't expand his strike zone. He played great defense, had excellent speed, and (unlike Turang, for instance), he even hit a good numb...2119Tue, 07 May 2024 12:15:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/an-early-may-overreaction-three-players-the-brewers-should-%E2%80%9Csell-high%E2%80%9D-r2080/The fact is, the Brewers may have some serious roster crunches coming. The answer may be to sell some hot performers “high” to get additional assets for the present, future, or possibly both. Who might the Brewers consider as among those to “sell?” Let’s take a look at three candidates. 2B...2080Mon, 06 May 2024 17:13:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/visiting-some-friends-in-unexpectedly-high-places-brewers-at-royals-may-6-8-r2115/At the start of the season, most people assumed the AL Central would be a Minnesota Twins 162-game cake walk into the postseason. Things have not panned out that way, and a month in, there’s a tangle at the top. The Guardians hold first place, with the Royals immediately behind them. The Kansas...2115Mon, 06 May 2024 14:10:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/oliver-dunn-strikeouts-joey-ortiz-third-base-options/Oliver Dunn was a feel-good story out of Brewers camp. A post-hype prospect acquired in a minor trade with the Philadelphia Phillies in November, the 26-year-old infielder flashed the tools of a big-league power bat in Double-A last year.
