The palpable funk in his delivery makes life tough on opponents, both in terms of making contact at all and in terms of hitting the ball hard when they do get the bat on it. He’s thrown enough strikes to dominate through the early going, a...956Sat, 29 Apr 2023 14:12:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/when-the-brewers-take-it-to-11-in-the-draft-r954/But while many people focus on the first round, there are many more rounds – and sometimes, the biggest contributions come not from the first round but way after that, with almost no fanfare. These later rounds can be very hit or miss, but there is one round where the times the Brewers have...954Sat, 29 Apr 2023 12:30:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-2-angels-1-tell-%E2%80%98em-tellez-r955/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Wade Miley - 6.0 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 84 pitches, 54 strikes (64.3%) Home Runs: Willy Adames (5) Top 3 WPA: Rowdy Tellez (.293), Wade Miley (.229), Devin Williams (.160) Bottom 3 WPA: Luke Voit (-.215), Brian Anderson (-.073), Christian Yelich (-.047) ...955Sat, 29 Apr 2023 05:58:45 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/consensus-mlb-draft-board-v1-r950/Last year, I published the first ever ‘Consensus Draft Board’, at Twins Daily. I also wrote, after the fact, about some commitments to making it better for 2023, and I think I’m delivering on those. So what is a Consensus Board? What’s new for 2023? What? I love drafts in sports, always h...950Fri, 28 Apr 2023 15:16:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/series-preview-angels-at-brewers-shohei-ohtani-in-town-r952/I don’t think we have any idea how good Shohei Ohtani is. The easiest historical comparison for elite two-way players is Babe Ruth, but even Ruth doesn’t hold a candle to Ohtani’s production combination. Rather, they each revolutionized the game: Ruth by demonstrating that the home run ball is n...952Fri, 28 Apr 2023 12:51:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/draft-preview-shortstops-personalcheeseballs-r945/Many third and second baseman go through high school and/or college as shortstops. It’s not uncommon for a pro centerfielder to have spent many innings playing shortstop as he developed.  The term “personal cheeseball” (better represented by #personalcheeseball) originated over twenty years...945Thu, 27 Apr 2023 15:15:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/willy-adamess-plate-discipline-walks-aiding-brewers-offense-r949/Even before looking at the stats, Willy Adames's patience at the dish was quite noticeable in the first few weeks of the season. His improvement in that area significantly impacted the Brewers' hot start. It's also intriguing, because some players have trouble changing their hitting style once t...949Thu, 27 Apr 2023 12:48:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-on-earth-was-william-contreras-doing-in-the-eighth-inning-tuesday-r947/In the bottom of the eighth inning, with the Detroit Tigers leading 4-3, the Brewers mustered the smallest amount of opportunity that can credibly be called a rally. Luke Voit led off the frame with a double, and was replaced by pinch-runner Blake Perkins at second base. Willy Adames and Rowdy T...947Wed, 26 Apr 2023 12:53:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/eric-lauer-and-the-brewers-have-to-survive-together-r944/It's been a difficult start to the season for Eric Lauer. Something isn't right. His velocity is down over two miles per hour, relative to 2022, and is currently the lowest of his career. Every pitch in his repertoire has been dinged. That's a worrying sign, for the obvious two reason...944Tue, 25 Apr 2023 12:19:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/week-in-review-injuries-overshadow-strong-week-r940/Weekly Snapshot *** Record Last Week: 4-2 Runs Scored: 31 Runs Surrendered: 32 Standing: 2nd in NL Central (0.5 GB) *** Game 17 | MIL 7, SEA 3: Brewers Bring The Pain to The Pacific Northwest Game 18 | MIL 6, SEA 5 Game 19 | MIL 5, SEA 3 Game 20 |...940Mon, 24 Apr 2023 12:07:30 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/evaluating-the-choice-to-waive-brent-suter-way-too-soon-r939/A 31st-Round Steal Brent Suter was taken in the 31st round of the 2012 draft after a collegiate pitching career at Harvard. The lefty did not have the velocity or the stuff of the more highly-touted Jed Bradley, a first-round pick in 2011, but in 2015, he broke out, with a 2.36 ERA between...939Sun, 23 Apr 2023 17:13:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/nine-stat-blasts-to-help-explain-brewers-great-start-r938/  Willy Adames The most popular criticism of Adames coming into the season was how little he walked, with his approach favoring happy-go-lucky over cautious calculation. However, so far this season, he’s in the 84th percentile with a walk rate of 14 percent. Adames talked on Tuesday ab...938Sun, 23 Apr 2023 16:27:00 +0000
