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 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/in-search-of-a-third-sacker-the-brewers-never-ending-story-r3390/Just three short months ago, the Milwaukee Brewers' brain trust was gnashing their collective teeth, tossing and turning in their beds, awake in the early morning hours, trying to find an answer to a ‘simple’ question. 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.

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. Only 19...3386Mon, 19 May 2025 11:36:00 +0000
