The Diamondbacks still hold the second Wild Card position, but their lead over the Cubs is just half a game, after Chicago swept the Rockies at Wrigley Field. Thanks to two days of...1540Mon, 25 Sep 2023 12:53:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/twenty-six-for-october-projecting-the-brewers-playoff-roster-r1536/Based on recent games, call-ups, and demotions, here is one man’s prediction based on the semi-cloudy crystal ball on a dining room table somewhere in Port Edwards, WI.

They'll wait until their next win (or the next Cubs loss) to line the clubhouse with plastic and don the ski goggles for champagne sprays and beer showers. They want the NL Central crown, and they'll have it. They want the NL pennant, and...1534Sat, 23 Sep 2023 13:02:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-defense-is-carving-a-place-in-history-r1530/After their win Thursday in St. Louis, the Brewers distributed a postgame note mentioning that the team has allowed nine or fewer hits in 26 straight games.

Sure, defending NL Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara has regressed heavily and isn’t nearly as dominant as in 2022, but his compatriots have done an incredible job holding down the fort.  Jesus...1531Fri, 22 Sep 2023 14:21:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-should-brewers-manage-rest-rehab-in-final-week-of-the-season-r1515/The short answer: It depends. Why those two words? Let’s recap the situation for the Brewers as of the morning of September 20: They are six and a half games ahead of the Cubs for the NL Central crown, needing a combination of eight wins and/or Cubs losses to secure the title. This is a very goo...1515Fri, 22 Sep 2023 12:53:05 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-the-brewers-match-up-against-the-arizona-diamondbacks-in-the-playoffs-r1521/The Milwaukee Brewers should claim the third seed in the playoffs, with a six-game lead over the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds with just 12 games remaining. Thus, let’s take a look forward at a potential Wild Card Series opponent in the Diamondbacks, who have revived their fortunes of late--a...1521Thu, 21 Sep 2023 16:12:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/destination-the-show-episode-6-r1529/In this episode, we debate the ceiling of Twins outfield prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez, talk through potential 2024 ROY candidates for the Twins, Cubs, and Brewers, and answer listener questions on AFL rosters and the Twins 2022 pitching draft haul.

In the early part of the year, regular at-bats were taken by injured and under-performing personnel, with Jesse Winker (60 OPS+), Joey Wiemer...1526Thu, 21 Sep 2023 12:10:48 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-the-brewers-would-match-up-against-the-phillies-in-a-playoff-series-r1525/The Phillies have a slight but consistent lead over the remainder of the NL Wild Card pack, so they’ll likely start on the other side of the NL bracket.

Their 153 dingers to date would place them 26th in franchise history. Neither standing instills confidence, though they have some time to move up these lists. The problem is that the Brewers will likely finish shy of 1...1523Wed, 20 Sep 2023 12:39:00 +0000
