They have vastly exceeded expectations, and since they’re comfortably winning the NL Central, the next goal should be to skip straight to the division series, if possible.  As things currently stand, the Dodgers have the most wins i...2571Sat, 31 Aug 2024 14:07:40 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/aaron-ashby-velocity-bullpen-playoff-roster/It really didn't look, even quite recently, like Aaron Ashby was going to make it back from the injury that derailed his career last season. His ERA with Triple-A Nashville this season is 8.04, in 84 innings. He was optimistic back in the spring, but the outlook got bleak in a hurry. His command...2569Fri, 30 Aug 2024 11:55:27 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/freddy-peraltas-inefficiency-has-cost-brewers-innings-from-their-ace-can-he-fix-it-r2567/There are 131 pitchers who have made at least 15 starts in MLB this season. Among them, Freddy Peralta has the seventh-highest average number of pitches per batter faced, at 4.19. At the end of his first trip through the Giants batting order Wednesday night in Milwaukee, he had already thrown 47...2567Thu, 29 Aug 2024 13:29:15 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/joey-ortiz-needs-to-be-in-the-top-half-of-the-brewers-lineup-r2566/As always, with lineup construction discourse, many people think batting order doesn’t matter--that it's a pointless argument. I generally disagree, and believe there are mental and “skill diversity” aspects that have an impact. Thus, the Milwaukee Brewers need to give Joey Ortiz a serious run i...2566Thu, 29 Aug 2024 11:41:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/joey-ortiz-has-played-great-defense-for-brewers-but-has-he-been-part-of-willy-adamess-problem-r2564/Until this season, Willy Adames was one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball. Specifically, in fact, he was exceptionally good at making the play on balls hit to his right. In 2022, he was 12 plays better than an average shortstop on such batted balls, according to Sports Info Solutions....2564Wed, 28 Aug 2024 22:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/soft-and-low-pitches-were-jackson-chourios-kryptonite-now-he-demolishes-them-r2562/Jackson Chourio added another accolade to his explosive rookie season Tuesday night, when he crushed the Brewers’ longest home run of the season. It was a 449-foot blast off the American Family Field video board, to give his team an early lead. The pitch was a mistake by Logan Webb, who mis...2562Wed, 28 Aug 2024 11:36:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/christian-yelich-optimistic-his-back-surgery-will-improve-his-long-term-health-r2560/A week-and-a-half removed from season-ending back surgery, Christian Yelich is back with the Brewers. Facing reporters in the Brewers dugout for the first time since the operation, Yelich provided more insight into the procedure, how it became a necessity, and his long-term outlook. Yelich...2560Tue, 27 Aug 2024 23:15:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewer-hicklen-vs-tyler-black-who-should-get-brewers-september-call-up-r2559/No, Brewer Hicklen probably isn't the next Blake Perkins, or Tobias Myers. He came into the Brewers organization at an older age than either of their recent, notable scrapheap scoop-ups, and there isn't a tool in his profile quite as impressive as Perkins's glove. He's striking out 28 percent of...2559Tue, 27 Aug 2024 11:45:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-20-year-old-hitters-like-jackson-chourio-have-done-in-past-octobers-r2558/Since 1974, there are just 10 players who have taken at least five postseason plate appearances at age 20 or younger. This October, Jackson Chourio will join that group--though he might not even be the only player to do so, with Jackson Holliday establishing himself as a part of the Orioles mix....2558Mon, 26 Aug 2024 23:07:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/aaron-ashby-is-back-with-the-brewers-can-his-restored-velocity-keep-him-there-r2557/Aaron Ashby has had a less-than-ideal past two years. After missing all of 2023 due to serious issues with his left shoulder, he came back this season as a diminished version of his former self. His velocity was down across the board, an understandable side effect of an extended layoff and rehab...2557Mon, 26 Aug 2024 11:45:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/by-embracing-the-intentional-walk-pat-murphys-brewers-have-bucked-a-modern-baseball-trend-r2554/When Pat Murphy signaled to intentionally walk Brent Rooker in the seventh inning of Saturday’s win over the Oakland Athletics, it was the 22nd time the Brewers elected to send an opposing hitter directly to first base. Only four teams have issued more intentional walks. It’s a dramatic str...2554Sun, 25 Aug 2024 14:27:51 +0000
