Who is going to play third base for us this year? After shortstop W...3390Tue, 20 May 2025 22:05:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/caleb-durbin-is-making-plenty-of-contact%E2%80%94just-all-the-wrong-kinds-r3388/When Caleb Durbin lined an RBI single in his first at-bat on Monday night, it snapped an 0-for-24 slump for the rookie infielder. It's been a challenging first month since the Brewers gave Durbin the keys to third base in late April; the 25-year-old has hit just .174/.273/.244 (52 wRC+) in his f...3388Tue, 20 May 2025 11:19:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/christian-yelichs-best-swing-right-now-is-a-single%E2%80%94and-that-has-to-change-r3387/It's hard to put it any other way: Christian Yelich's bat path is broken. He's never been someone who could readily afford a downturn in launch angle, but that's exactly what he's seen this year. His average launch angle, in fact, is down from just over 5° last year to 0.2° this year. If you onl...3387Mon, 19 May 2025 23:02:20 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/jose-alvarado-ped-suspension-trade-rumors-brewers-trevor-megill-closer/The Brewers have struggled to begin the season, with a relatively easy schedule in April followed by a shocking offensive downturn in May. The Brewers front office is capable of fixing such glaring problems as the rotation and the left side of their infield, but the rest of the team isn't giving...3383Mon, 19 May 2025 14:01:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/if-brewers-turn-their-season-around-jackson-chourios-heroic-home-run-robbery-will-be-the-pivot-point-r3386/All season, Jackson Chourio has filled up the stat sheet. That's the fun and the frustration of a sophomore season that feels more like a rookie year, from a player the team hoped was ready to mature into a full-fledged superstar. He's been all over the place—physically and figuratively.

Every year, I place three small and separate wagers on Anthony Rendon, Kris Bryant, and José Abreu to win MVP awards. Of course, these bets must be placed with a somewhat shady, unofficial bookmaker, because no gambling platform worth their salt would allow someone t...3379Sun, 18 May 2025 16:44:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/it-aint-over-yet-enjoying-the-grind-will-be-key-to-the-brewers-fortunes-r3372/The mental acuity to compete day in and day out is a difficult mindset to attain. A 162-game season. 6,170 plate appearances in the batter's box. 6,076 hitters faced down on the mound. The Brewers created success in 2024 by being more involved in each and every one of those plate appearances tha...3372Sun, 18 May 2025 11:57:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/are-the-brewers-preparing-to-make-a-change-at-shortstop-r3377/When Joey Ortiz popped out to first base in the bottom of the fifth inning on Friday night, it was his seventh popout to first this season, tying him for the second-most in baseball by a right-handed hitter. That stat is not necessarily noteworthy on its own, but in Ortiz’s case, it speaks...3377Sat, 17 May 2025 13:15:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/rob-zastryzny-returns-as-brewers-start-reshaping-their-left-handed-relief-mix-r3376/An old face returned to the Brewers' clubhouse on Friday. Left-handed reliever Rob Zastryzny is back after Milwaukee acquired him from the New York Yankees in exchange for cash. Elvis Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Zastryzny signed a minor-league contrac...3376Fri, 16 May 2025 23:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/in-brewers-salvage-win-in-cleveland-sal-frelick-provided-a-timely-reminder-of-his-intentions-in-2025-r3367/Sal Frelick is a gritty, fiery competitor—the type of individual who can be a sparkplug for a struggling team. On Wednesday afternoon in Cleveland, Frelick was just that, launching a home run over 400 feet and returning to the dugout all guns blazing.

It was the second such meeting Murphy initiated in as many road trips. The Brewers congregated under similar circumstances on Apri...3371Fri, 16 May 2025 11:26:02 +0000
