The Brewers tried to give Blake Perkins time to work through what has effectively been a season-long slump at the plate, but ultimately, they needed more functional depth in their outfield. Perkins, still a fine defender but no longer the elite...4737Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:26:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/does-switch-hitting-still-make-sense-for-blake-perkins-r4735/When Blake Perkins stepped into the left-handed batter’s box to face Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Taylor Clarke on Friday night, it was his first plate appearance from the left side in nearly a month. The switch-hitting Perkins last hit left-handed in Las Vegas on June 8, and like his at-ba...4735Tue, 07 Jul 2026 11:51:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-makes-aaron-ashby-so-hard-to-hit-r4734/In a piece Monday at Baseball Prospectus, I introduced a new statistic called Swing Disruption+. The concept is exactly what it sounds like. Using the new miss distance and swing timing data from Statcast (which you can find on Baseball Savant, here), I sought to build a model that would tell us...4734Mon, 06 Jul 2026 15:40:22 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-week-in-review-another-winning-week-in-the-books-r4730/Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 5-2 (Overall: 55-33) Run Scored Last Week: 31 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 27 Standing: 1st in NL Central *** Game 82 (6/29) | MIL 5, CIN 3 Game 83 (6/30) | MIL 7, CIN 2 Game 84 (7/01) | MIL 4, CIN 2 Game 85 (7/02) | CIN 7, MIL 2 Game 86 (...4730Mon, 06 Jul 2026 01:27:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/chad-patrick-the-artist-r4722/Nearly every pitcher will say that above all else, their objective on the mound is to compete. Each individual is wired differently, though. Some can maintain that competitive focus while thinking with precise detail about pitch sequencing and strategy. Some can diagnose and correct mechanical p...4722Thu, 02 Jul 2026 11:32:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-brewers-dont-call-pitches-from-the-dugout-but-they-might-as-well-r4720/It's a 2-2 count in a tight spot. The tying run is in scoring position, and the go-ahead run is at first. It's the top of the eighth. What are you going with, here? That's a baseball conversation as old as the game itself—or nearly so. While we don't want long, ponderous pauses between burs...4720Wed, 01 Jul 2026 22:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-pat-murphy-gave-cooper-pratt-tuesday-night-off-r4718/In the bottom of the sixth inning on Monday night, with runners on first and second and the Brewers trailing 3-2, Pat Murphy pinch-hit David Hamilton for Cooper Pratt. The decision could be seen as securing the platoon advantage by batting the left-handed Hamilton against the right-handed Chase...4718Wed, 01 Jul 2026 11:33:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-9th-inning-belongs-to-trevor-megill-r4715/Since the start of May, Trevor Megill has struck out 30 opposing batters and walked four. He's allowed four runs, and half of those (the only ones since May 12) came in one outing at Coors Field. He threw a tick harder than his season average in shutting down the Reds Monday night, though it was...4715Tue, 30 Jun 2026 12:08:30 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-brandon-sproat-is-extremely-close-to-breaking-out-r4700/When the Milwaukee Brewers got Brandon Sproat, they gave up their 2025 ace in Freddy Peralta. The idea of having a primary option who could give Pat Murphy’s squad a chance to win every fifth day hung in the balance, though those questions were answered by megastellar starts to the season from J...4700Mon, 29 Jun 2026 15:05:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/whats-changed-for-the-brewers-with-runners-in-scoring-position-r4710/Let's get this out of the way first: the Brewers have not permanently forgotten how to hit with runners in scoring position. During the course of a 162-game regular season, teams go through ebbs and flows, especially on offense. The Brewers still have an .800 OPS with runners in scoring position...4710Mon, 29 Jun 2026 11:56:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-week-in-review-divisional-battles-r4708/Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 4-2 (Overall: 50-31) Run Scored Last Week: 21 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 22 Standing: 1st in NL Central *** Game 76 (6/22) | Brewers 2, Reds 1 Game 77 (6/23) | Brewers 2, Reds 0 Game 78 (6/24) | Brewers 6, Reds 5 Game 79 (6/26) | Brewers 6...4708Sun, 28 Jun 2026 22:22:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/after-another-unsuccessful-opportunity-craig-yohos-time-in-milwaukee-could-be-nearing-its-end-r4703/After he dominated the minor leagues and reached the majors in his second full professional season last year, Craig Yoho's career has not followed the path he or the Brewers hoped for. In 13 career appearances, most of them low-leverage outings, the 26-year-old has pitched to a 6.75 ERA and 5.22...4703Sun, 28 Jun 2026 11:57:01 +0000
