Did Pat Murphy’s incessant praise of the Los Angeles Dodgers and consistent dismissal of his own team become too much for some playe...3910Wed, 22 Oct 2025 11:38:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/do-brewers-have-financial-flexibility-for-big-acquisitions-this-offseason-r3909/The Brewers had one of their lowest payrolls of the 2020s this season. Their year-end 40-man roster payroll was around $115 million, according to Cot's Contracts. That was the lowest mark since 2021, when they spent $105 million, and their ranking (23rd in the league) was lower than it's been si...3909Tue, 21 Oct 2025 17:01:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-altering-his-approach-helped-andrew-vaughn-overhaul-his-swing-r3908/When a player with a long track record of average or worse production suddenly enjoys a half-season of excellence, it's natural to expect some regression. Baseball is a game of adjustments, and every time a player gets ahead of the curve for a bit, the league adjusts to them, forcing them to mak...3908Tue, 21 Oct 2025 11:34:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-the-brewers-have-to-at-least-consider-a-freddy-peralta-trade-r3907/The Freddy Peralta trade rumors came quickly, but not unexpectedly. Entering the final year of his contract with the Brewers, Peralta has a club option for $8 million. That will surely get picked up. A very team-friendly deal, this makes Peralta an attractive option to retain for the financially...3907Mon, 20 Oct 2025 14:05:44 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/did-brewers-lose-the-pennant-long-before-the-nlcs-even-began-r3904/Brewers fans have been left heartbroken and mystified by the team getting swept in the 2025 National League Championship Series by the Dodgers. How did this happen to a team that went 6-0 against the Blue Bullies from Hollywood during the regular season? Brewers manager Pat Murphy seemed to...3904Mon, 20 Oct 2025 11:52:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-much-money-did-brewers-make-in-first-sustained-playoff-run-since-2018-r3906/Since the start of the 2022 season, the Brewers have played 14 postseason games. The division-rival Chicago Cubs have played just eight, all of them coming this fall. However, the two clubs have played the same number of "cash cow" games, under the rules that govern the distribution of postseaso...3906Sun, 19 Oct 2025 21:53:57 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/usually-relentless-brewers-bowed-out-quietly-in-nlcs-sweep-r3902/The parallel was striking. With the Brewers needing everything to go right to keep their season alive, they started a pitcher who needed to be nearly perfect to succeed. At this stage of his career, José Quintana is a capable back-of-the-rotation starter—at least in the regular season. His...3902Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:30:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/jacob-misiorowski-announced-himself-on-the-biggest-of-stages-r3897/There were considerable questions on whether Jacob Misiorowski would even make the Brewers' NLDS roster after some dramatically poor outings since the All-Star break. In the second half, he had a 5.36 earned run average (ERA) while hitters were getting on base at a .354 clip. Given that this is...3897Sun, 19 Oct 2025 13:17:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/so-close-to-perfect-it-hurts-r3901/Eventually, if you win enough divisions and get enough bites of the apple, the scrape of your teeth against the skin of the fruit becomes maddening. You get greedy. Just once, you want a chance to take the thing in hand, sit beneath a tree, and eat it at your leisure, in full. You don't just wan...3901Sat, 18 Oct 2025 03:33:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/intentional-or-not-have-brewers-hitters-altered-their-swings-and-approach-r3899/The Milwaukee Brewers are putting up some historically bad offensive numbers in this year’s NLCS. And while the Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitchers deserve some of the credit, it appears many of the Brewers have lost all semblance of their identity. Is it just a terribly timed cold streak, or is there...3899Sat, 18 Oct 2025 00:30:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/is-the-magical-season-of-the-brewers-coming-to-a-disappointing-end-r3900/The special season for the Milwaukee Brewers probably started on January 16, 2025. That was the day that beloved announcer and very special friend of the Brewers, Bob Uecker, passed away. Still mourning the loss of ‘Ueck,’ Milwaukee had a good preseason, winning 16 of 30 games in Arizona. H...3900Fri, 17 Oct 2025 20:30:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/pat-murphy-should-surrender-some-control-and-let-jose-quintana-chad-patrick-pitch-a-while-in-nlcs-game-4-r3896/You can't entirely blame Pat Murphy for trying. He's gone, over and over, to the handful of arms he recognizes as being good enough to dominate even the two very good offenses his team has encountered in this year's postseason run. When Freddy Peralta is scheduled to start, Murphy doesn't mess a...3896Fri, 17 Oct 2025 12:25:48 +0000
