Sometimes, it's the most productive guy, but there is more to it. In the words of Brewers manager Craig Counsell, after a win over the Texas Rangers in August, Contreras "made his impact felt in every part of the game. He's been...1472Tue, 05 Sep 2023 13:03:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-2-pirates-4-brewers-cant-find-their-sea-legs-r1473/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Corbin Burnes - 6.0 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 105 pitches, 68 strikes (64.8%) Home Runs: None Top 3 WPA: Mark Canha (.061), Andruw Monasterio (.029), Hoby Milner (.025)  Bottom 3 WPA: Corbin Burnes (-.201), Christian Yelich (-.131), Carlos Santana (-.111)  W...1473Tue, 05 Sep 2023 05:54:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/whats-happened-to-christian-yelich-r1470/Christian Yelich has become noticeable for his number of hot streaks over recent years that had the crowds hailing his return to form. He caught fire for two months but has regressed massively since. Did he con the fan base again? This year, everyone was more cautious, but after two months...1470Mon, 04 Sep 2023 21:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-hitter-of-the-month-august-2023-r1463/While it might be a stretch to say that the Brewers had a great offense in August, it was definitely a slight improvement over the rest of the season. They posted a .710 team OPS, a slight bump to their season-average of .693 OPS. So who showed up the most? Honorable Mention Sal Frelick - ....1463Sun, 03 Sep 2023 12:19:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-bryse-wilson-has-become-a-long-relief-ace-r1461/In today's game, the true long reliever is an endangered species. Most teams prefer a suite of hurlers who can dominate over one inning, with a few who can be stretched out to pitch two when exigency demands it. They rotate and refresh that group often, by optioning struggling or weary arms to t...1461Sat, 02 Sep 2023 12:55:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-aug-2023-pitcher-freddy-peralta-trevor-megill-williams-wilson/In the month of August, Milwaukee pitchers combined to post a team ERA of 3.36, third best in the big leagues. More impressively, they had the lowest opposing batting average of .206. That being said, some guys pulled their weight more than others.  Andrew Chafin struggled immensely out of...1459Sat, 02 Sep 2023 12:16:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/never-count-out-tyrone-taylor-r1457/Since he was a second round pick in 2012 (yes, over a decade ago), Taylor has been the rare player to have both been overrated and underrated. What do I mean by that? As a second round pick, prospect lists loved him in his first few years in the system (thus the overrating). After he got older,...1457Fri, 01 Sep 2023 13:08:55 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-sign-josh-donaldson-bringer-of-rain-or-bringer-of-pain-r1458/Donaldson of Days Past In the first half of the 2010s, Josh Donaldson was one of the best third basemen in baseball. From 2013-2017, he slashed .282/.377/.524, won three all-star nominations, two silver sluggers, and an MVP award. For his defensive efforts, he won a Fielding Bible award in 201...1458Fri, 01 Sep 2023 12:52:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-acquiring-josh-donaldson-and-thats-a-terrible-idea-r1456/It was rumored this morning that the Brewers were interested in acquiring Josh Donaldson after the Yankees released him on Wednesday. Donaldson is a former American League MVP winner and veteran who could replace 3B Andruw Monasterio, who cooled significantly in August.

They found their feet both as a pitching unit and (more noticeably) with the bats, culminating in a nine-game winning streak. There is fair reason to believe that th...1455Thu, 31 Aug 2023 15:16:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-survived-at-wrigley-field-and-now-its-craigtember-r1452/When the odds tilt in the Brewers' favor, Counsell is as aggressive as any manager in baseball about securing a victory. When things break against him, though, Counsell knows how to keep his powder dry and manage the grind of the long season.
