Some may have given up on Lauer as anything more than "just a guy," but the southpaw was about to turn the corner. Following his six-inning, one-run performance Monday night,...80Thu, 21 Apr 2022 19:29:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2022-mlb-draft-druw-jones-mikey-romero/Keith Law’s posted a piece last Friday that had information on three of the draft’s top prospects. It is behind a paywall, so I’m only going to give you a few excerpts. Law raves about Druw Jones, putting some crazy high future grades on him saying he “wouldn’t project any 18-year-old to be...75Thu, 21 Apr 2022 15:54:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/series-recap-pirates-brewers-sweep-baby-sweep-r77/April 18 - 20 Pirates @ Brewers recap Game 1 Brewers 6 - Pirates 1 Box Score The Return of Christian Yelich Now this is more like it.

As a long-time Twins fan, the obvious comparison is to that of Joe Mauer: left-handed, hard contact, low launch angle, and the vitriol. So much...73Tue, 19 Apr 2022 19:42:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/winning-despite-struggles-willy-adames-lorenzo-cain/Milwaukee's 6-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday improved the Brewers' record to 5-5 to open 2022. That's a perfectly fine record over the first ten contests, but if you listened to many fans or even watched a few games yourself, you might think they had the worst record in MLB. Much of t...72Tue, 19 Apr 2022 08:22:24 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-weekly-catchers-omar-narvaez/Green Bay Packers fans were deluded [and this is where I could place a period] into thinking that Mike McCarthy was a quarterback whisperer and Ted Thompson a sort of demigod when in reality, the team won a single Super Bowl despite the former's buffoonery and lost many more chances at one as a...69Mon, 18 Apr 2022 11:05:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/series-recap-cardinals-brewers-414-417-r70/Easter weekend Cardinals @ Brewers recap Game 1 Brewers 5 - Cardinals 1 https://www.mlb.com/gameday/cardinals-vs-brewers/2022/04/14/661292#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=661292 Woodruff pitches five strong Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff bounced back from a ro...70Mon, 18 Apr 2022 00:02:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/crew-throwback-rob-deer-r64/Deer was a 3TO player before it was cool to be 3TO (meaning three true outcomes - a walk, a strikeout, or a home run). What followed next was the biggest hit of Deer's career - a towering blast to left into the wind. County stadium went wild.

This means Milwaukee pitchers walked opponents in 15% of their plate appearances.
