Sure, there were prepared, perfunctory statements released through the Brewers' comms team and the typical post-transaction presser via Zoom Monday afternoon, but the first time stakeholders in the Brewers organization fielded r...432Mon, 08 Aug 2022 10:41:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/dinelson-lamet-claimed-pedro-severino-outrighted-r430/  Dinelson Lamet has thrown just 12 1/3 innings this season for the Padres, and they haven’t been particularly good, but he’s also flashed impressive stuff when healthy. That’s really been the biggest struggle, health having eluded Lamet. That said, he’s got a career 11.7 K/9 and just recen...430Sat, 06 Aug 2022 17:08:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/was-ben-sheets-the-best-brewers-pitcher-ever-r428/  Ben Sheets was born in Louisiana in 1978. He attended college at Northeast Louisiana University (now the University of Louisiana Monroe), where he was an All-American. The Brewers drafted Sheets in the first round (10th overall) in 1999. In 2000, Sheets became the hero for the U.S. O...428Sat, 06 Aug 2022 11:05:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/heres-why-hoby-milner-is-crazy-good-part-2-pitch-selection-r424/This year, Milner has almost completely swapped which pitch he is throwing as his fastball, substituting his sinker for his four-seam fastball. In addition, he's throwing his changeup a lot more. This pitch change directly contributes to the success Milner has had this season against right-hande...424Fri, 05 Aug 2022 11:54:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/reds-series-preview-rebound/The trade of Josh Hader felt abrupt despite him being dangled for the last couple of seasons. After that exchange with the Padres, the now second place Brewers largely stood pat with the team they have, spare the acquisition of a few bullpen arms. The lack of a meaningful offensive acquisition l...425Fri, 05 Aug 2022 03:32:58 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-place-omar-narvaez-on-il-add-catching-depth-r423/The news surrounding Omar Narvaez comes just one day after Milwaukee designated backstop Pedro Severino for assignment. In 60 games this year as the Brewers primary catcher, Narvaez owns a .687 OPS. Mario Feliciano has yet to play for Milwaukee this year and has just one single career plate...423Thu, 04 Aug 2022 19:36:20 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-make-a-slew-of-roster-moves-r422/  Freddy Peralta returned to a Major League mound for the first time since May 22. He worked 3 2/3 innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday and allowed two runs on four hits. Throwing just 67 pitches, it’s to be expected that it would take time for him to fully rebuild durability in...422Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:13:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/heres-why-hoby-milner-is-crazy-good-part-1-r420/Just as I expected going into the season, Hoby Milner is playing at an All-Star caliber and is the biggest snub for the midsummer classic on the Brewers since Devin Williams rightfully was named as an alternate.  (This was not what I expected.) Prior to this season, Milner held a caree...420Thu, 04 Aug 2022 03:28:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-whiff-at-deadline-without-adding-a-hitter-r418/  At a glance, it appears the Brewers' offense isn't a concern at all. Milwaukee entered play Tuesday ranked 7th in MLB in scoring at 4.65 runs/game. They're 8th in OPS+ (106) and OBP (.320), which likely would surprise most fans. And yet, each night, it feels like a toss-up if the of...418Wed, 03 Aug 2022 07:16:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-acquire-trevor-rosenthal-from-giants-r416/  Just a handful of days ago, in late July, the San Francisco Giants signed Trevor Rosenthal to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million. He hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2020, and at the time of his signing, manager Gabe Kapler said he was multiple weeks away while recovering from a hamstri...416Tue, 02 Aug 2022 21:28:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/former-brewers-catcher-jonthan-lucroy-retires-wall-of-honor-induction-saturday-r415/Breaking up the trade deadline news, between Taylor Rogers coming to the Brewers and Matt Bush being acquired, Jonathan Lucroy announced he was officially hanging up his cleats. A true catcher that spent the vast majority of his time behind the plate, Lucroy leaves the game with a .274/.335/.416...415Tue, 02 Aug 2022 18:02:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/round-table-do-you-like-the-josh-hader-trade-r413/Tommy Ciacciio "It finally happened" is a weird way to start a conversation about something that feels counterintuitive and inorganic. I understand that the identity of the closer is outsized relative to their actual value. That said, since the moment Josh Hader was acquired for Carlos Gome...413Tue, 02 Aug 2022 04:33:00 +0000
