That was the truth underlying Pat Murphy and the team's clever strategy for winning Game 2. They wouldn't couch it that way—the more politic and more effective f...3866Wed, 08 Oct 2025 11:57:04 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/one-thing-you-can-do-one-pitch-you-can-do-it-with-brewers-marvelous-specificity-creates-runs-in-bunches-r3864/Covering the fastball and the splitter is for suckers. So, for that matter, is covering the inside corner and the outside corner. Using the whole field? Loser stuff. Seeing it high and meeting it low? Nonsense. Modern pitchers are too good for a big-league batter to dig in and assume their stanc...3864Tue, 07 Oct 2025 15:02:18 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/in-game-2-relief-appearance-jacob-misiorowski-showcased-why-brewers-included-him-on-their-nlds-roster-r3863/Jacob Misiorowski threw fewer than half of his pitches on Monday night in the strike zone, including just over a third of them in his first inning. He issued two walks. He wasn't particularly efficient. It didn't matter. He made enough competitive pitches, and the outcomes of those pitches...3863Tue, 07 Oct 2025 11:31:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/clutch-homers-and-shutdown-relief-help-brewers-cruise-past-cubs-in-game-2-victory-r3862/Pat Murphy's first move of the night backfired badly. After just four batters in the top of the first inning, the Chicago Cubs had three runs on the scoreboard, courtesy of Seiya Suzuki’s three-run blast to deep left field against lefty Aaron Ashby. The visitors' jubilation wouldn't last long, t...3862Tue, 07 Oct 2025 04:16:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/legacy-in-progress-jackson-chourio-back-in-brewers-lineup-building-a-playoff-legend-at-age-21-r3861/It's the highest compliment I can pay to a player: watching Jackson Chourio play ball puts me in mind of Roberto Clemente. Really, you can draw threads that connect Chourio to any of the three great right-hitting, slashing, power-and-speed outfield dynamos who changed baseball forever in the 195...3861Mon, 06 Oct 2025 23:49:36 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/cubs-brewers-nlds-game-two-matchup-by-the-numbers-r3860/Milwaukee will open Monday's game with Aaron Ashby on the mound, followed by a to-be-determined bulk plan. Ashby has worked as a reliever this season and is expected to face the top of Chicago’s order before turning it over to, in all likelihood, Quinn Priester. Chicago counters with left-hander...3860Mon, 06 Oct 2025 17:19:49 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/blake-perkins-has-never-been-more-important-for-milwaukee-brewers-r3859/In case you missed it, one of the only unfortunate outcomes of the first game of the Division Series was Jackson Courio re-aggravating a nagging hamstring injury while beating out an infield hit, ending a three-hit performance on a sour note. Chourio's right hamstring is quickly becoming the big...3859Mon, 06 Oct 2025 16:12:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-lowdown-how-brewers-can-prey-on-struggling-shota-imanaga%E2%80%94and-where-the-risk-lies-r3858/Shota Imanaga has an arm angle problem. He suffered a hamstring strain covering first base during a start at Uecker Field on May 4, and after missing several weeks, he's been somewhat diminished since returning to the Chicago rotation. His overall numbers this year don't look bad, but he gave up...3858Mon, 06 Oct 2025 14:06:36 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-role-if-any-will-quinn-priester-play-in-brewers-game-2-pitching-plans-r3857/In past postseasons, the Brewers have not hesitated to get creative with their pitching plans. Before the start of the NLDS over the weekend, there were signs that some unconventional arrangements were around the corner. "I think what we're looking at is Game 1 [Freddy Peralta], and then be...3857Mon, 06 Oct 2025 11:37:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/not-so-fast-ball-how-freddy-peralta-confounded-cubs-in-dazzling-game-1-win-r3856/Michael Busch got the better of Freddy Peralta at the very beginning of his day. Ian Happ and Carson Kelly put good wood on him at the very end of it. In between, though, Peralta utterly dominated, securing a win in the first game of what should be one of the most hard-fought Division Series rou...3856Sun, 05 Oct 2025 14:06:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-came-out-swinging-against-matthew-boyd-cubs-in-game-1-win-r3855/Pat Murphy's message to the Brewers clubhouse before Game 1 of the NLDS was simple: be ready. "We talked during the week. One of the things we made a point of, or maybe the main thing we talked about, is, 'Promise me you'll be ready the first pitch,'" he recalled. "When the bell rings, you'...3855Sun, 05 Oct 2025 11:51:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/crew-crushes-cubs-counsell-with-an-early-sixer-r3853/The team with the best record in baseball—the Milwaukee Brewers—came into today’s NLDS game showing it, as they batted around and scored six runs in the bottom of the first after Michael Busch led off the game for the Cubs with a home run. The Brewers added three more tallies in the second and c...3853Sat, 04 Oct 2025 22:29:01 +0000
