Despite a 4.55 ERA and unimpressive rates of strikeouts and home runs allowed, Rea had 13 Game Scores of 50 or higher in his 22 starts, and three of his four relief outings were successful, t...1901Mon, 04 Mar 2024 16:09:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-statcast-takeaways-from-sundays-cactus-league-contest-r1902/In what has been a less than stellar first week of the spring, Jackson Chourio busted out a bit on Sunday, with a double that showcased both his hit tool and his terrific speed and a walk in four plate appearances. Chourio looked overmatched on Saturday in Maryvale, against the Dodgers' second-t...1902Mon, 04 Mar 2024 14:11:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/could-garrett-mitchell-be-the-odd-man-out-in-the-outfield-r1903/Baseball Prospectus’s PECOTA projections have been out for several weeks. Among the most notable Brewers forecasts is the one for Garrett Mitchell. The former first-rounder has started his big-league career by slashing a solid .278/.343/.452 (119 wRC+), albeit in just 141 plate appearances....1903Mon, 04 Mar 2024 13:22:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/starting-rotation-options-hall-junis-gasser-miley-ross-junk/His backstory and his persona invite some to try to fit Pat Murphy into a stereotype. He's 65, with three decades of coaching (much of it at the college level). He's a target for baseball players' favorite way to show affection, which is gentle ridicule. Yet, when you ask him questions about the...1900Mon, 04 Mar 2024 12:34:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/bryan-hudson-bullpen-candidate-extension-velocity-spring-training-interview/It hasn't been an easy journey through professional baseball for Bryan Hudson. Drafted in the third round out of high school in 2015, Hudson was reasonably highly thought of. The problem was, he was as huge (6-foot-8) then as he is now, and ganglier, and he wasn't yet the sturdy, more coordinate...1898Mon, 04 Mar 2024 00:11:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/tyler-black-defense-40-man-roster-scouting-reports/That quip, like much of what Murphy says, was more badinage than genuine, serrated barb. He thinks Tyler Black can help the Brewers a great deal, and that he'll be a competent corner infielder with the glove. But does he trust Black yet? "No. Not yet," Murphy said Saturday, after a Friday c...1899Sun, 03 Mar 2024 15:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/devin-williams-cutters-usage-patterns-pitch-mix-interview/Last year, Devin Williams changed the shape of his cutter. It's always been a purely supplemental pitch for him, but it's not without some value--especially for a pitcher who specializes in a pitch (that devastating screwball, which he calls a changeup and the world labels "The Airbender") that...1896Sun, 03 Mar 2024 12:34:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/miley-opening-day-gary-sanchez-injury-updates-eric-haase/We humans don't always make good estimates of the probability of things. 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 +0000
