Brewer Fanatic

Another week, and the NL Central leading Brewers sort of ho-hummed their way to a 5-1 record.  Taking care of business against bad teams is important for teams with big aspirations.  And while the 2022 Brewers aren't without blemishes, after a month it should be clear they have big aspirations.  And the Brewer Fanatic forum knows it.

A long winter may still be covering Wisconsin, but for the first time in months, the crack of wooden bats filled television sets around the state, marking the return of Brewers baseball.

A little over a month ago, we launched the redesigned Brewer Fanatic, and things are going almost as well for the site as they are for the first-place Brewers. We’re so incredibly thankful to you all for your continued generosity in sharing your passion and thoughts, so let’s share the details.

Like many Brewers fans of a certain age, the ’82 season cemented my childhood love of baseball in general, and the Brewers in particular.  I had been a fan of the game for as far back as I can remember, but there was just something special about that team.  Perhaps it was that we had been watching them grow together through the past few seasons, and all of the names were like old familiar friends.  Molitor. Yount. Coop. Oglivie. Stormin’ Gorman. Simba. Caldwell. Rollie. 

Just a day after the Milwaukee Brewers were dealt a significant blow to their rotation with Freddy Peralta being placed on the injured list, slugger Hunter Renfroe suffered the same fate.
