For a more thorough explanation, Brewer Fanatic's @Jason Wang walked through how to interpret the new data on Tuesday. Because MLB did not...3413Wed, 28 May 2025 14:15:40 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/in-trying-to-save-2025-could-brewers-flub-their-future-r3401/The 2025 season has not gone as well as many Brewers fans hoped it would. That’s arguably an understatement, especially given what many of the players showed in the 2024 season, when the team outperformed many projections to win the National League Central. There is some question about whet...3401Tue, 27 May 2025 17:26:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brice-turangs-hot-start-has-gone-ice-cold-again-now-what-r3411/After a strong spring training in which he swore he wasn't doing anything differently (but plainly was), Brice Turang came into the regular season on a tear. He had hits in each of his first 12 games, and at the end of the Brewers' series in San Francisco to open a road trip during the fourth we...3411Tue, 27 May 2025 15:41:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-to-interpret-statcasts-new-bat-tracking-data-r3404/A year ago, MLB introduced a new set of metrics to Statcast that all had something in common: they attempted to quantify the characteristics of every player’s swing. For the first time, even the most casual of baseball fans could look at anyone’s bat speed, fast-swing rate, squared-up rate, numb...3404Tue, 27 May 2025 12:02:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-activate-dl-hall-from-injured-list-option-logan-henderson-to-triple-a-nashville-r3408/Other people's clocks keep running out on Logan Henderson. The rookie righthander couldn't do much more for the Brewers than he has, with a 1.71 ERA across his first four big-league starts, but time and again, he's been sent right back to Nashville. The righty with 29 strikeouts and six walks in...3408Mon, 26 May 2025 15:30:22 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/new-statcast-swing-data-gives-both-diagnosis-and-treatment-information-on-struggling-christian-yelich-william-contreras-r3396/It's not breaking news to say that Christian Yelich and William Contreras have struggled this season. With the former recovering from a back surgery that removed a significant amount of tissue and muscle from his lower back, while the latter embodies the spirit of the black knight from Monty Pyt...3396Mon, 26 May 2025 11:30:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-week-in-review-burning-up-the-bullpen-r3406/Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 4-2 (Overall: 26-28) Run Scored Last Week: 34 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 32 Standing: 4th place in NL Central (6.0 GB 1st place CHC, 4.0 GB Wild Card) *** Game 48 (5/19) | MIL 5, BAL 4 Game 49 (5/20) | MIL 5, BAL 2 Game 50 (5/21) | BAL 8, MI...3406Sun, 25 May 2025 22:47:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/garrett-mitchell-has-tightened-up-on-high-fastballs-but-can-he-revert-to-damaging-breaking-pitches-on-his-return-r3398/Garrett Mitchell recognized that his issues with the high fastball throughout his career would be unsustainable for future seasons, and went to work at Driveline in the offseason in an effort to adjust his swing and make it easier for him to access this particular part of the zone before it beca...3398Sat, 24 May 2025 16:48:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/pat-murphys-aggressive-reliever-usage-remains-concerning-r3397/To be clear, Pat Murphy's bullpen management is not squarely to blame for the Brewers' losses, neither on Wednesday nor throughout the season as a whole. The primary culprits remain anemic offense and shaky defense, which have placed the manager in tight spots. But, as has sometimes been th...3397Fri, 23 May 2025 19:15:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/are-milwaukee-brewers-hitting-coaches-or-a-lack-of-confidence-to-blame-for-joey-ortizs-struggles-r3389/Earlier this year, I offered a deep dive into the alterations of Joey Ortiz's swing, namely, looking at the change in the aggressiveness of his leg kick. Ortiz's pre-swing movement has become less pronounced, less decisive, in contrast to his setup during those halcyon days when he cut loose in...3389Fri, 23 May 2025 11:55:17 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/milwaukee-brewers-pitching-injury-updates-whos-returning-and-when-r3395/If you’re a pessimistic fan, this season is already an abject disaster. There’s a decent amount of truth in that dour outlook, too. Milwaukee is two games below .500, six games behind the division-leading Cubs, and struggling to play competitive baseball. If you’re an optimistic fan, you might b...3395Thu, 22 May 2025 11:17:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/less-maintenance-rhys-hoskins-rejuvenated-by-fresh-legs-and-an-old-timing-mechanism-r3392/A resurgent Rhys Hoskins has been among the few bright spots in a scuffling Brewers lineup. After struggling to a .214/.303/.419 line and career-worst 100 wRC+ last year, the veteran first baseman enters Wednesday hitting .297/.402/.483 (145 wRC+), his best output since his rookie campaign in 20...3392Wed, 21 May 2025 11:34:00 +0000
