Unlike Anderson and Wolfram, Rodriguez survived Monday's roster cuts, but it's likely that he'll end up joining t...3147Wed, 12 Mar 2025 13:27:12 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/for-their-next-trick-watch-the-brewers-become-a-changeup-team-after-all-r3146/Last season, only the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates threw fewer offspeed pitches (as a percentage of all their pitches thrown) than did the Brewers, who went to the change or splitter just 10.0% of the time. Our own Jack Stern wrote about this trend as early as the beginning of...3146Tue, 11 Mar 2025 23:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/nl-central-preview-2025-chicago-cubs-r3081/As the resident Chicago Cubs fan here on Brewer Fanatic (boo me all you want, I’ve seen what makes you cheer), I figured I’d graciously lend you all my knowledge about the Cubbies ahead of the 2025 season.

Probably a guy no taller than 5-foot-9, who goes after every batted ball on defense and runs like the wind on offense. It’s a term that actually describes the Brewers pretty well. They’ve become known for exceeding expectations...3145Tue, 11 Mar 2025 15:09:14 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-recipe-for-success-under-new-mlb-schedule-massively-expensive-technology-coaches-with-eye-bags-and-blissful-ignorance-r3143/Beginning in 2023, MLB made an important change to the schedule each team plays each year. Gone are the wildly imbalanced schedules that had been the status quo for the previous two decades. Each team plays 13 games against each divisional opponent, instead of 19—and all those games shaken loose...3143Tue, 11 Mar 2025 11:31:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-latest-roster-cuts-give-some-clarity-on-opening-day-bullpen-and-marching-orders-to-down-the-road-depth-arms-r3144/The Milwaukee Brewers optioned five more players to Triple-A Nashville Monday, and reassigned two non-roster players to minor-league camp. Among the cuts were pitchers Grant Anderson, Grant Wolfram, Carlos Rodriguez, and Logan Henderson; catchers Jeferson Quero and Ramon Rodriguez; and outfielde...3144Mon, 10 Mar 2025 19:13:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-the-brewers-at-shortstop-r3139/The Roster Situation Joey Ortiz is the front-runner to be the Brewers’ shortstop on Opening Day, replacing Willy Adames. Vinny Capra, Andruw Monasterio, and Brice Turang have also played shortstop during their professional careers, although Turang is the incumbent second baseman for the Brewer...3139Mon, 10 Mar 2025 15:14:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/coming-straight-at-you-key-brewers-thinkers-on-the-rising-threat-and-opportunity-of-the-inside-pitch-r3141/Blake Perkins is almost philosophical about the foul ball that fractured his shin and will delay the start of his season. That injuries like his are happening more and more often throughout the league, as the frequency of high-speed offerings bearing in on batters, is just the way things are....3141Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:09:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-week-in-review-the-spring-keeps-moving-r3140/Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 2-4 (Overall: 6-9) Run Scored Last Week: 23 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 26 Standing: 12th in Cactus Leauge *** Game 11 (3/3) | CIN 5, MIL 4 Game 12 (3/5) | MIL 3, CHW 2 Game 13 (3/5) | CHW 8, MIL 2 Game 14 (3/6) | MIL 10, OAK 0 Game 15 (3...3140Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:52:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/team-two-strike-crunch-how-brewers-batters-have-found-power-in-pitchers-counts-r3138/On Mar. 1, the Brewers swatted five home runs as part of a 9-4 win over the visiting Rangers, at American Family Fields of Phoenix. In itself, that's not news; it was a spring training contest. Notably, however, three of those homers came in two-strike counts, including two on 0-2.

Vinny Capra, Caleb Durbin, Oliver Dunn, and Andruw Monasterio are all plausible candidates for at least part-time work there. The Brewers are obviously intrigued by Dunn’s power bat...3135Sun, 09 Mar 2025 13:22:02 +0000
