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. However, if they lose enough games to slide to the sixth seed (currently held by the Cubs) or make it to the NLCS along with the Brewers, we’ll...1525Wed, 20 Sep 2023 16:11:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/will-the-brewers-lack-of-home-runs-mean-an-early-postseason-exit-r1523/Entering Wednesday, the Brewers ranked 25th out of 30 MLB clubs in home runs. 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 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-do-the-brewers-stack-up-against-the-chicago-cubs-in-the-postseason-r1517/With the Brewers having virtually guaranteed themselves the NL Central title already, the only way they would end up facing the Cubs in the Wild Card Series is if the Baby Bears finished in the third Wild Card position. At the moment, though, that seems genuinely plausible. As an added wrinkle o...1517Tue, 19 Sep 2023 14:16:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-2023-brewers-players-have-performed-in-past-postseasons-r1520/Having suffered the heat of those October spotlights can temper and harden a player, and the Brewers' previous forays into the postseason under Craig Counsell have done some of that firing already. Here are the guys to whom younger players can turn for insight on the experience ahead, and whom C...1520Tue, 19 Sep 2023 12:58:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-standings-updates-and-a-postseason-outlook-r1518/The Current State of Things After an unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on who you ask) five-game losing streak, the Cubs skidded to 6.5 games behind in the NL Central.
