The answer, happily, turned out to be clear: Yes, he could. Frelick batted .288/.3...3895Thu, 16 Oct 2025 18:04:46 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-bad-do-you-want-it-brewers-face-gut-check-at-dodger-stadium-as-nlcs-resumes-r3894/Surprisingly, the pressure really has gotten to these Milwaukee Brewers a bit during their foray into October. True, they're a young team, but that young team played a relatively poised and representative version of their game even while losing in last year's Wild Card Series—and they looked muc...3894Thu, 16 Oct 2025 11:43:54 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/abner-uribe-is-almost-out-of-gas-is-he-a-symbol-of-the-brewers-as-a-team-r3892/It wouldn't quite be fair to be surprised. Abner Uribe pitched a lot this season, and relievers who pitch a lot from April through September tend to tire in October—especially if they've never worked that much before. Uribe made 75 appearances over the initial 162 games, including 69 that lasted...3892Wed, 15 Oct 2025 16:21:10 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/after-another-dodgers-starter-dominated-them-brewers-face-daunting-nlcs-deficit-r3891/After Blake Snell left the Brewers looking like an entirely different offense in Game 1 of the NLCS, they looked even worse the following night. After Jackson Chourio’s leadoff home run on Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s first pitch, Yamamoto silenced them the rest of the way, tossing a complete game as th...3891Wed, 15 Oct 2025 11:31:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/william-contreras-jackson-chourio-couldnt-adjust-fast-enough-against-blake-snell-in-game-1-r3888/Los Angeles Dodgers starter Blake Snell pitched extremely well in Game 1 of the NLCS, but it’s difficult to call him masterful when the Milwaukee Brewers made it so easy on him. The team didn't make good or quick enough adjustments across eight shutout innings against Snell, which is how he face...3888Tue, 14 Oct 2025 21:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-brewers-have-pitched-to-shohei-ohtani-in-the-9th-inning-of-game-1-r3889/Let's start by placing the blame squarely where it belongs: the Dodgers scored in the ninth inning on Monday night not because of anything Pat Murphy did or didn't do, but because Abner Uribe had a bad night. He came on to pitch the top of the final frame, but didn't really have it. He walked th...3889Tue, 14 Oct 2025 15:04:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/for-eight-innings-blake-snell-turned-brewers-into-an-entirely-different-offense-r3887/The Brewers pieced together nine innings of two-run baseball from their pitching staff against a vaunted Los Angeles Dodgers lineup in Game 1 of the NLCS, but the hurler on the other side rendered that effort moot. Blake Snell dismantled Milwaukee hitters one by one for most of the night, facing...3887Tue, 14 Oct 2025 11:09:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/with-aaron-ashby-first-in-line-lefty-openers-should-be-the-norm-for-brewers-in-nlcs-r3886/It's not a surprise that Aaron Ashby will take the ball to start Game 1 of the NLCS. It would have been surprising if the Brewers had done anything else. Freddy Peralta has more than earned the right to be deployed as a traditional starter, but in every game of this series not started by Peralta...3886Mon, 13 Oct 2025 21:36:41 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/breaking-blake-how-brewers-batters-will-try-to-get-to-dodgers-ace-blake-snell-in-game-1-r3885/The National League Championship Series gets underway Monday night, and we can pretty well guess who will step into the batter's box first for each team: Super-duperstar Shohei Ohtani, in the top half of the first inning, and budding Brewers stud Jackson Chourio in the bottom half. Ohtani is the...3885Mon, 13 Oct 2025 20:05:15 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/better-be-perfect-brewers-offense-continues-to-punish-any-pitcher-who-doesnt-finish-with-two-strikes-r3884/It's been a theme since the earliest days of spring training. Brewers batters came out of the gates hot in the Cactus League, driving the ball over the fence regularly, and something interesting jumped out: they did it even when pitchers appeared to have the advantage in the count against them....3884Mon, 13 Oct 2025 15:05:10 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/tale-of-the-tape-how-brewers-and-dodgers-match-up-for-nlcs-position-by-position-r3882/  The Brewers earned their way into the National League Championship Series by virtue of their 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in Game 5 of the NLDS Saturday evening at Uecker Field. The Los Angeles Dodgers had a slightly easier path, needing only four games against the Philadelphia Phill...3882Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:51:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/4-keys-to-brewers-nlcs-matchup-with-los-angeles-dodgers-r3881/Well folks, they finally did it. For the first time since 2018, the Brewers won a playoff series. It was far from easy, and they won by a narrow margin of just two runs in the final game, but it was a victory—and a massively cathartic one. Unfortunately, the postseason waits for no man. The team...3881Sun, 12 Oct 2025 15:11:02 +0000
