The more uncertain we are about something, the truer that tends to be. When asked Friday about Wade Miley being behind his fellow starters in ramping up for the regular season, Murphy was circumspect, clearly afflicted with...1895Sat, 02 Mar 2024 17:09:04 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sal-frelick-position-switch-batting-approach-interview/The first thing that jumps out when you talk to Sal Frelick is that he's not talking about his conversion to the infield as a passing flight of fancy. To him, this move (while not total or definitive) is very real, and it's happening. In the Brewers clubhouse in Maryvale Friday, he talked about...1894Sat, 02 Mar 2024 12:25:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/trevor-megill-mechanics-fastball-curveball-pitch-data/By the end of the 2022 season, Trevor Megill was sitting at around 98.5 miles per hour on an average fastball, and he was touching 100 often enough to be very intimidating on the mound. Far from stopping there, though, he doubled down on adding velocity. From Aug. 1 onward, more of his fastballs...1893Fri, 01 Mar 2024 19:17:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2024-brewers-positional-preview-second-base-r1876/Last spring, the Brewers seemed to have some certainty at second base. Luis Urías was the incumbent, and showed well in the World Baseball Classic, for México. After an Opening Day injury and subsequent struggles, though, Urías was shipped to Boston, and Tur The Starter: Brice Turang 2023...1876Fri, 01 Mar 2024 17:34:56 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/garrett-mitchell-pat-murphy-pinch-hitting-quotes/For some managers and some situations, the value of the pinch-hit option declines with each passing year. Sabermetric studies have confirmed the existence of an important and inescapable pinch-hitter penalty, whereby a batter isn't as good coming off the bench late in a game (even if he's taken...1892Fri, 01 Mar 2024 12:34:39 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/first-base-rhys-hoskins-position-preview-bauers-black/After a disappointing season of regression and injury trouble for Rowdy Tellez in 2023, the Brewers moved on in November. They first seemed to have taken a low-risk, low-reward, low-cost approach to replacing Tellez, but in January, that changed in a big way.  The Starter: Rhys Hosk...1847Thu, 29 Feb 2024 17:17:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/a-harder-way-to-score-pat-murphys-philosophy-of-offense-and-the-2024-brewers-r1891/Last year, the Brewers were 24th in home runs and 28th in isolated power. They also ranked 24th in team DRC+, according to Baseball Prospectus. Yet, they were 17th in runs per game, marking just one way that the whole was greater than the sum of the parts for them in a division-winning campaign....1891Thu, 29 Feb 2024 15:11:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/being-and-finding-late-bloomers-in-the-era-of-the-prospect-hype-machine-r1890/The topic at hand is infielder and Milwaukee newcomer Oliver Dunn, trying to make the team after coming over via trade from the Phillies organization in November. Dunn is 26 years old, which the 65-year-old Murphy hadn't even known prior to this confabulation. The question: do players like Dunn...1890Thu, 29 Feb 2024 12:24:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/pat-murphy-black-turang-mitchell-sliding-rules-2024-obstruction/Early Wednesday morning, manager Pat Murphy approached a table around which sat several Brewers infielders, to talk more about how to make plays around the bases under what will amount to new rules this coming season.
