Looking back, I wished I had played in high school, but no such thing happened. I was one of the biggest sports fans that I knew; one friend called me ‘Stats’ because I was always thr...3192Sat, 29 Mar 2025 11:51:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/freddy-peralta-changed-things-up-against-the-yankees-but-it-could-become-his-new-normal-r3190/On the surface, Freddy Peralta's second career Opening Day start was a standard Peralta outing. The right-hander was not particularly efficient, requiring 93 pitches to complete five innings, but he held the New York Yankees to just a pair of runs while striking out eight. On a deeper level...3190Fri, 28 Mar 2025 11:21:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/bad-overall-showing-from-jackson-chourio-bad-break-make-for-opening-day-brewers-loss-r3189/Last April, a game got away from the Brewers when Aaron Judge stuck his sliding mitt approximately 16 feet into the air and deflected a would-be double-play relay throw by shortstop Willy Adames. Tons of slow-motion replays were consulted, in search of a conspiracy by the umpires to overlook int...3189Fri, 28 Mar 2025 01:03:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/3-things-to-watch-battling-the-yankees-jackson-chourios-sophomore-season-devin-williams-in-pinstripes-r3186/Exhale Brewers fans, Opening Day is upon us! And what a way to unfurl the 2025 season than to open it up in the Bronx against perhaps the most legendary franchise in the history of sports - the New York Yankees. This match-up will be the opening crescendo of an emotional offseason for both franc...3186Thu, 27 Mar 2025 13:18:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/can-jackson-chourio-challenge-for-the-mvp-award-in-2025-r3185/Jackson Chourio lit up the National League as a fresh faced 20-year-old, particularly after his initial adjustment phase. Chourio hit .303/.358/.525 from June 1st on, for a 142 WRC+. He crushed 16 homers and stole 15 bases during that span, although he wasn't especially efficient in swiping bags...3185Thu, 27 Mar 2025 11:42:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/diamondcentric-staff-predicts-the-2025-mlb-season-r3187/Ok, soothsayers we (probably) aren't, but 33 writers across the DiamondCentric family of sites tried their hands at predicting the season to come. Here's how it shook out.

He made 59 appearances, and while neither his ERA (3.38) nor his strikeout and walk rates would make your eyes pop,...3184Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:22:55 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/the-joy-and-value-of-william-contreras-stepping-in-the-bucket-r3183/There are many fun things about watching William Contreras hit. He makes wonderful adjustments within games, and within at-bats. He selects strategic moments at which to exploit the positioning of the defense by shoving the ball effortlessly through an open hole on the right side of the infield....3183Tue, 25 Mar 2025 17:30:10 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/5-tasty-bold-predictions-for-the-2025-milwaukee-brewers-r3182/This version of the Milwaukee Brewers might be one of the most challenging to project, as it feels like many players have wide variability in how they could perform. The key to making "bold predictions," at least in my view, is that they shouldn't be so off-the-rails crazy that they have a one p...3182Tue, 25 Mar 2025 14:28:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/after-unique-offseason-training-vinny-capra-hoping-to-contribute-as-part-of-brewers-opening-day-roster-r3181/It was the obvious outcome for the entirety of spring training, and Pat Murphy made it official on Sunday: Vinny Capra has made the Brewers’ Opening Day roster. It will be the first Opening Day for the infielder, who slashed .283/.353/.739 this spring and hit six home runs to tie with teammate R...3181Tue, 25 Mar 2025 11:36:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-the-brewers-at-designated-hitter-r3177/The Roster Situation Christian Yelich appears lined up to take most of the at-bats at designated hitter in 2025, primarily due to the presence of Jackson Chourio, Garrett Mitchell, and Sal Frelick as the main starters in the outfield, with Blake Perkins as the fourth outfielder when he returns...3177Mon, 24 Mar 2025 23:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/sidelined-by-injury-blake-perkins-is-still-trying-to-make-the-most-of-his-spring-r3179/Blake Perkins’s recovery from a fractured right shin is progressing slower than he or the Brewers initially anticipated. “I was told to continue to be patient,” Perkins told reporters on Sunday. “The fracture, I guess, is just in a tough spot.
