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. While it has never technically been legal for a fielder to block the path of a...1889Thu, 29 Feb 2024 00:19:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/whats-behind-brice-turangs-bat-knob-change-timelines-on-yelich-hoskins-s%C3%A1nchez-r1888/Manager Pat Murphy was in a good mood Wednesday. Seeing an old friend doesn't hurt, but he was quick to disclaim the idea that the first game in which the Brewers will play against former manager Craig Counsell carries any special significance. "The fact that Couns is coming over, that fill...1888Wed, 28 Feb 2024 19:14:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-to-watch-milwaukee-brewers-tv-television-streaming-bally-sports-amazon/It’s no secret that regional sports networks have been struggling over the past few years. After Diamond Sports Group (the operator of the Bally Sports networks) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2023, it seemed like things had taken a turn for the worse. In January of this year, it was a...1887Wed, 28 Feb 2024 14:18:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2024-milwaukee-brewers-positional-preview-catcher-r1873/It's no secret that William Contreras is one of the cornerstones of the franchise at this point. The big question is whether he can go to still another level, after a sensational first campaign in Milwaukee--and how the team can best support and complement him, regardless of his production....1873Wed, 28 Feb 2024 12:51:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/new-changeup-continued-feel-for-cutter-fuel-an-optimistic-bryse-wilson-for-2024-r1886/Brewers manager Pat Murphy knows he's facing a bit of an innings problem this year, without the services of Corbin Burnes or Brandon Woodruff. Bryse Wilson will be one important piece of the puzzle he tries to put together to bridge the resulting gaps. "Yeah, yeah. Yes," Murphy said Monday,...1886Tue, 27 Feb 2024 20:53:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-spring-training-notebook-feb-27-aaron-ashby-on-his-sinker-and-slider-r1885/For Aaron Ashby, the goal is to get back into a competitive setting and ramp up quickly, to allow himself to compete for a place at the back end of the Brewers' starting rotation. Monday's outing provided an important mile marker in that journey.

His 62 OPS+ was last among all qualified Brewers, while his .585 OPS was only behind Tim Anderson for worst among big-league hitters with at least 400 plate appearances.
