One major culprit was a pitcher they hoped would make a big difference in the opposite direction when they traded for him last month. Nick Mears is out of options. It's a huge part of why he was available at a relativel...2547Thu, 22 Aug 2024 22:50:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/with-blake-perkins-taking-tyler-blacks-roster-spot-will-he-also-claim-regular-playing-time-for-brewers-r2546/The most underrated Brewers position player and one of the linchpins of their team identity, the outfielder is back to sufficient health to join the active roster. Will he take some playing time from the younger Milwaukee outfielders? The Brewers continue to convalesce as they approach Septe...2546Thu, 22 Aug 2024 16:15:23 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/lots-of-brewers-bullpen-bills-came-due-at-once-wednesday-night-all-that-matters-now-is-thursday-r2545/Like an amateur on a highwire, the Milwaukee relief corps had wobbled and leaned its way forward over the last few weeks. Wednesday's loss was a resounding splat of a fall from the wire, but now the team can shake it off and go on. Sometimes, bullpen implosions really are like implosions--or...2545Thu, 22 Aug 2024 11:54:58 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-offense-needed-a-hitter-to-take-it-up-a-notch-william-contreras-did-r2543/Last week, the 2024 Milwaukee Brewers lost the player who had been their best hitter when he was healthy, all year. In his stead, though, their highest-ceiling offensive player has taken off--literally. This kind of power explosion was always within the range of possibilities for William Con...2543Wed, 21 Aug 2024 14:54:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/tobias-myers-is-chasing-some-brewers-history-and-maybe-some-mlb-hardware-r2541/Back in January, I reviewed potential non-roster invitees to spring training for the Brewers. One entry in particular seems worth a look after the way the 2024 season has unfolded for the Milwaukee Brewers. Here's what I wrote about a certain non-roster pitching project, just before camp ope...2541Wed, 21 Aug 2024 11:49:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/this-week-is-a-chance-for-brewers-to-finish-off-the-cardinals-as-a-thing-r2540/There is no race for the 2024 NL Central title. That will go to the Brewers. But this series at Busch Stadium could permanently end whatever sense of primacy the Cardinals have had over the decades. Exceptionalism is a funny thing. It can be very real, and very formidable. It's also, almost...2540Tue, 20 Aug 2024 23:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-bright-side-of-christian-yelichs-back-surgery%E2%80%93and-yes-there-really-is-one-r2536/Christian Yelich tried to use rest and rehabilitation for the latest back issue that has him on the injured list, so that he could return by the end of the season. That was not to be. An Aug. 15 post on social media gave an update that was disappointing for Yelich and the Brewers in the short te...2536Tue, 20 Aug 2024 17:24:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-postseason-playoff-odds-chances/It's nothing but good news at 1 Brewers Way. When we last checked in on the Brewers playoff odds, on August 6th, the Brewers had a 62-49 record and a six-game lead in the Central division. They were headed into a tough part of their schedule, with ten out of their next 13 games against teams...2539Tue, 20 Aug 2024 13:17:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-it-finally-time-for-everyone-to-appreciate-the-2024-milwaukee-brewers-r2537/If you’re reading this, you likely understand the familiar feeling among Milwaukee Brewers fans – the lingering doubt that the team's success might crumble at any moment. Many seem to find reasons to believe the Brewers will falter, with some even openly expressing pleasure from the team’s failu...2537Tue, 20 Aug 2024 11:48:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/post-back-injury-devin-williams-is-a-different-pitcher-in-two-different-ways-r2535/The air isn't bending as often as it did before an injury sidelined the Brewers' relief ace. It's shimmering with more heat than ever, though, and opposing hitters' lives aren't any easier. With an injury like the one that hampered Devin Williams over the offseason and stole the first half o...2535Mon, 19 Aug 2024 23:04:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/with-playoff-bye-to-nlds-in-reach-heres-why-brewers-should-pursue-it-hard-r2533/After years of having to slide in beneath bloated win totals for teams from the NL East and West, the Brewers are just one game back from leading the National League.

Why? Since the All-Star break, Willy Adames has been excellent at the plate. His .883 OPS across 108 plate appearances is the third-best among qualified Brewers hitters, behind Jackson Chour...2530Mon, 19 Aug 2024 11:50:02 +0000
