It all started when new Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins, formerly of the Phillies ... I also remember Adam Duvall drilling a homer on McNeil's dog's face during COVID.

Rhys Hoskins has had more than 550 at-bats only once over the past five seasons. His swing path promotes home runs, but it comes with some risk to his batting average. He is in a contract year.

An approach change for Sal Frelick and Robert Gasser's return aren't dominating headlines. But they're Brewers stories that could matter later.
