Brewers

448 pitchers can't be wrong.

The acquisition of Willy Adames was often heralded as the catalyst for the 2021 Milwaukee Brewer season. That magic has not carried on to the 2022 season, so a change is necessary.

Thursday afternoon, Rawlings Baseball announced the 2022 Rawlings Gold Glove Award Finalists. The Brewers have two finalists. What do you think? Did anyone get snubbed? Discuss below. 

While not mathematically eliminated quite yet, the Brewers are 7 1/2 games behind the Cardinals in the NL's Central Division. They are left to compete for one of three Wild Card spots in the playoffs. Can they do it? 

Corbin Burnes debut was clunky, Brandon Woodruff has had a few tough outings, Keston Hiura is smoking the ball, Tyrone Taylor looks like peak Barry Bonds. What is life, and does this mean anything?

We start a new era of Milwaukee Brewers coverage here at Brewer Fanatic nearly a year ago to the day, when MLB data maven Tom Tango pulled an excerpt from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's weekend Brewers notes column on the once and future ghost runner.

On Thursday, MLB announced the 2022 Silver Slugger Award finalists. Three Milwaukee Brewers find themselves as finalists. They are infielders Willy Adames and Kolten Wong as well as outfielder Hunter Renfroe. 

The Milwaukee Brewers found themselves with an odd final game of a series on a Monday and made a trio of roster moves before getting underway. The club recalled Ethan Small from Triple-A Nashville and designated reliever Connor Sadzeck for assignment. They also flipped outfielder Abraham Almonte to the Red Sox for cash considerations.

Ethan Small, the Brewers top pitching prospect, made his Major League debut on Monday. As quickly as he arrived, he was gone. The arrival of a top prospect is huge, not only for the team but for the fans.

The Milwaukee Brewers pitching staff has been somewhat of a revolving door of late. With rotation injuries to Freddy Peralta and Brandon Woodruff, then topped by ineffectiveness following an Ethan Small promotion, the Brew Crew has needed plenty of fresh arms. Jason Alexander is the latest to be called upon.

It would be a major development for the Brewers if Keston Hiura could regain even a fraction of his prior form and, if early spring training results are any indication, it's not outside the realm of possibility. But what does his spring training success mean?

We're in the time of year where the Brewers have been known to throw every bullpen option against the wall and see if anything sticks. One candidate they could consider is an old friend.
