If Rowdy Tellez is going to take the next step with the Brewers, though, he has to be more aggressive, especially on pitches in the zone. While there's value in working longer a...733Tue, 14 Feb 2023 13:16:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-should-christian-yelichs-speed-affect-our-perceptions-of-his-power-r731/    Since fracturing his kneecap on a foul ball in late 2019, Yelich has fallen short of the high standard of performance he set over the two seasons leading up to that injury. He might well have won back-to-back MVP awards, if not for that misfortune, but his last three years have bee...731Mon, 13 Feb 2023 19:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-notes-new-projected-standings-aaron-ashbys-shoulder-craig-counsells-status-more-r732/On Friday, FanGraphs released its first look at the projected National League standings for 2023, according to the ZiPS projection system.

Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Freddy Peralta have given the Brewers an excellent trio in the starting rotation for the last two years. In a very real sense, Burnes and Woodruff, arguably two of the best starters in Brewers' history, have distorted the team’s starting rotation...728Sun, 12 Feb 2023 13:36:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/grading-the-brewers-offseason-moves-the-crew-didnt-make-this-winter-r727/In this case, what the Brewers have not done during the offseason is the difference between a deep playoff run and watching the playoffs on TV. Let’s look at what didn’t happen over the offseason for the Brewers.

General Manager Sal Bando, one of the first big free-agent signings in team history, was critici...724Fri, 10 Feb 2023 16:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-constitutes-success-for-the-2023-milwaukee-brewers-r729/Plainly, that's a question every fan has to answer for themselves. That doesn't mean there aren't some wrong answers, but there's a long list of right ones. This is a franchise still in search of its first World Series title, and just its second pennant. This year marks a quarter-century of play...729Fri, 10 Feb 2023 13:29:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/grading-the-brewers-offseason-the-moves-the-crew-made-this-winter-r723/Let’s look at the biggest moves the Brewers made this offseason:  November 18, 2022 Acquired RHP Javy Guerra for a player to be named later Guerra has seen some action in four MLB seasons after converting from shortstop following 2018.

Nor, however, is it the whole truth. It’s also an exercise in geometry. In the batter-pitcher showdown, all the angles matter. Arm angles are important, but so is where a pitcher elects to start his delivery. For Eric...725Thu, 09 Feb 2023 13:25:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-by-the-jersey-numbers-23-51-freddy-peralta-r722/  51. Ichiro. The Big Unit. Bernie.

Despite being a left-handed pitcher, he’s always gotten righties out better than lefties. Since he established himself with the Brewers in 2021, though, that has at least begun to change.
