On Saturday, after a poor start seemed to be dooming them to a bl...3299Sun, 27 Apr 2025 14:07:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/not-so-wild-now-william-contrerass-worst-to-first-transformation-in-throwing-accuracy-r3297/Over the winter, I wrote about the fact that William Contreras was (at least by the best available metric we have, via Statcast) the least accurate thrower from behind the plate on steal attempts in 2024. It was a major problem, costing him any chance to be an above-average stopper of the runnin...3297Sun, 27 Apr 2025 11:02:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-long-is-vinny-capras-leash-with-the-brewers-r3295/It has already become a disconcerting theme: a left-side Brewers' infielder is off to a woeful start, sparking uncomfortable conversations about that area of the roster in late April. Joey Ortiz's 35 wRC+ is the worst among qualified shortstops. Oliver Dunn fared even worse, prompting the Brewer...3295Sat, 26 Apr 2025 11:52:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-weekend-series-preview-three-keys-for-taking-down-the-cardinals-r3291/The St. Louis Cardinals have been a thorn in the side of the Brewers fan base as long as much of them have been able to cultivate memories. Ever since 2007, the shrewd hand of John Mozeliak has steered the Cardinals into a winning lane and kept them there. Almost immediately upon taking control,...3291Fri, 25 Apr 2025 15:32:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/why-specifically-have-the-brewers-forgotten-how-to-defend-r3292/The Milwaukee Brewers' loss on Thursday afternoon was a painful one, but it exposed a series of flaws we have seen since the start of the season from this Brewers defense. The reigning Team Gold Glove winners, led by the premium infield pairing of Joey Ortiz and Brice Turang, have made poor deci...3292Fri, 25 Apr 2025 11:27:12 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/mlb-announces-2025-draft-2026-international-signing-period-bonus-pools-r3289/This week, MLB released bonus pool allocations and pick values for the 2025 MLB Draft. Additionally, MLB released international signing bonus pools for the 2026 signing period. Despite making the playoffs in 2024, the Brewers are well positioned in the 2025 MLB Draft. They have the 10th lar...3289Thu, 24 Apr 2025 23:17:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/tobias-myers-returns-to-brewers-rotation-bryan-hudson-squeezed-out-of-pitching-staff-optioned-to-triple-a-r3290/It feels as though no good news around the Brewers can go unchecked by a bit of balancing, bad news this spring. That pattern continued Thursday, as the team returned Tobias Myers from his rehab assignment and restored him to their starting rotation—but sent down struggling southpaw reliever Bry...3290Thu, 24 Apr 2025 18:39:16 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/grant-andersons-breaking-ball-adjustments-have-helped-him-reach-a-new-level-r3287/Milwaukee’s bullpen is looking uncharacteristically shaky. After 25 games, Brewers relievers have combined for a 5.07 ERA over 94 innings pitched. Guys who were solid contributors last year (like Bryan Hudson and Trevor Megill) have failed to continue the momentum of 2024, and it seems like Joel...3287Thu, 24 Apr 2025 11:48:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-one-at-bat-helps-explain-jackson-chourios-current-issues-with-pitch-recognition-and-strike-zone-management-r3284/One of the issues Jackson Chourio has may be that his hands are too talented. Chourio has swung at some ludicrous pitches so far this year, but his ability to make contact (and even do damage) on pitches outside the strike zone makes it difficult to rein in his approach. Currently, he has f...3284Wed, 23 Apr 2025 14:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/in-a-wonderful-turn-of-events-christian-yelich-is-basically-the-same-guy-he-was-before-back-surgery-r3282/There's one unfortunate thing we do have to concede, here: Christian Yelich has lost a step. For the entirety of his career, before this season, his Statcast-measured Sprint Speed has hovered somewhere north of 28 ft./sec., but in 2025, that number is down to 27.5. After undergoing back surgery...3282Wed, 23 Apr 2025 11:26:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/if-the-brewers-have-to-replace-joey-ortiz-how-will-they-do-it-r3280/The Brewers pulled the trigger on their first lineup turnover of 2025 relatively early, last week, by sending Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville and recalling Caleb Durbin to take over third base. It can hardly be called a surprise, as poorly as Dunn was hitting, but it stings a bit that they had...3280Tue, 22 Apr 2025 16:10:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/statcast-isnt-impressed-with-rhys-hoskins-should-we-be-r3279/Rhys Hoskins is finally producing when it matters. The early-season hype is now translating into real production, and by almost every traditional metric, he's having his best season since 2022. The power is coming back, he's getting on base at a great clip, and he's giving Milwaukee the middle-o...3279Tue, 22 Apr 2025 11:50:00 +0000
