The Milwaukee Brewers struggled this past weekend against the Houston Astros. In 27 innings the Brewers could only managed 2 runs. Against the Chicago Cubs tonight though it was a different story as the Brewers crushed the Cubbies 18-1. Yovani Gallardo started the game for the Brewers and went six innings allowing just one run and striking out 12 Cubs.
On the offensive side of the game the Brewers pounded out 26 hits against four Cub pitchers. Ryan Braun, Corey Hart, Casey McGehee and Prince Fielder went 16 for 26 with 11 runs scored along with 12 RBI's. The Brewers have a good offensive club and this does not surprise me at all. Gallardo is the only pitcher the Brewers have they can count on these days. It's too bad the Brewers cannot get better outings from other pitchers.

Corey Hart Gets Contract Extension From Brewers
For the longest time the Milwaukee Brewers have been known as an organization, that has not taken care of their players. For once, the Brewers did the right thing and gave Corey Hart a three-year extension. Hart will get 26.5 million over the next three seasons. Hart who was the talk of many trade rumors is having the best year of his career batting .288 with 23 home runs and 72 RBIs. Hart’s 23 home runs is just one shy of his career high of 24, which he should easily pass this season. He was named to the 2010 National League All-Star team on the players' ballot and started the game in place of injured Atlanta Braves rookie Jason Heyward. He also was a member of the 2008 NL All-Star team.
This is a good signing for the Brewers and leaves Prince Fielder one person the Brewers must figure out what to do with. Many people think he will be traded eventually most likely in the off-season. The Brewers are desperate for pitching and he could bring some pitching for the Brewers. His bat in the lineup would be missed, but unless the Brewers fix the pitching problem, they will continue to lose games. At least by signing Corey Hart the organization is showing they will pay their plays and committed to winning baseball games.

Could Corey Hart Be On The Move?
Corey Hart will take part in the Home Run Derby Monday Night, but could he be traded over the break. The Brewers have struggle of late and many people feel Corey Hart, Prince Fielder, and Rickie Weeks could be traded. Today, Hart hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth to give the Brewers a 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Brewers seem to have no trouble beating the Pittsburgh Pirates it's rest of the league that they struggle with.
Corey Hart wants to stay a Brewer, but the way he is playing right now he might be the first to be traded. San Francisco is one of the teams that have expressed interest in Corey Hart. I hope the Brewers think twice about trading Hart, but you never know. The Brewer fans may have seen Hart for the last time. I guess only time will tell. I do look for Prince Fielder to be traded real soon though as the Brewers will probably not make an effort to sign him.

Brewers Need To Look Into Trading Some Guys
So far this season the pitching has actually been worse this year than last year. I think it is time the Milwaukee Brewers need to consider trading some players. Two players who have been talked about in trade talks is Prince Fielder and Corey Hart. Both players could bring in some pitching talent which is what the Milwaukee Brewers need right now.
The Brewers should see what it would take to get Cliff Lee from the Mariners. I would be willing to give up Fielder and Hart to land Lee if he was willing to sign a long term deal with the Brewers. If not than no way I would give both players away. The bottom line is until the Milwaukee Brewers get better pitching they will continue to struggle to win baseball games. The Giants series was a good indication as the Brewers pitchers were battered around all series giving up 15 runs in one game. Of course the Brewers helped in the process with errors as well. Unless the pitching gets better it will be a long second half of the season.

Brewers Turn Tables On Rockies Avoid Sweep
The Milwaukee Brewers struggled again today before Rickie Weeks and Cory Hart came to the rescue. Weeks and Hart hit two-run doubles in a five-run ninth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers averted a series sweep by rallying for a 6-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Trevor Hoffman pitched an scoreless eighth inning to get the win. This is a win the Brewers needed as they have been struggling to score runs and stopping other teams.
Rickie Weeks and Cory Hart together drove in five of the six runs for the Brewers. Cory Hart has played very well the past six weeks and has helped carry the Brewers. Milwaukee has to be consistent if they want to win more games. They could have won two of the three games if they would have gotten better pitching against Colorado. Being consistent is they key if you want to win series and Milwaukee is not consistent.

Thank You Brewers Bullpen For Blowing Another Game
It seems like Brewer fans have heard this before maybe because they have. Yovani Gallardo pitched great and left the game with a 4-1 lead after pitching six strong innings striking out nine batters. He probably should have stayed in as he sat from the clubhouse and watch the Brewers bullpen give another game away. The Brewers bullpen gave up 7 runs and the Brewers lost 8-7 to Colorado. Thank you bullpen for another shitty job in relief.
For the Brewers fans it was another heart breaking loss to take as this theme keeps coming back to haunt them. The Brewers managed 15 hits and Cory Hart went 2 for 5 with 3 RBI's and his 18th home run. If he is not chosen for the All-Star game that will be a crime. The Brewers finally scored some runs only to watch the bullpen give it away. Oh well this is Brewer baseball in the year 2010.

Brewers Still Have A Chance This Year?
The Milwaukee Brewers should feel real good about where they stand right now. Milwaukee's pitching staff has been one of the worse in the National League and just stand 8.5 Games out of first place. The Brewers recently took two out of three games from the Angels and actually have been playing a little better. Pitching continues to be a problem, but it is getting better. Ken Macha is doing a much better job as well.
If Milwaukee can just hold on and continue to battle they may just have a chance. Pitching will be the key. They have brought up many new pitchers and it will take time for them to gel with the team. Pitching though will be the key for Milwaukee. Trevor Hoffman is another guy the Brewers need to get back on track as well. Every game will be important from this point on.

Yovani Gallardo Only Brewers Pitcher You Can Trust These Days
It seems every time the Brewers put someone on the mound it is a crap shoot to what will happen. One pitcher though has been very consistent in his pitching performances and that is Yovani Gallardo. Without a doubt he is the Brewers ace and has posted some great stats. Gallardo is 6-2 in 12 starts with one shutout and a 2.64 ERA. he has only allowed 22 earned runs and walked only 37 while striking out 77 players. He has been the model of consistency for the Brewers.
He has also has pitched the most innings of any Brewers pitcher along with only giving up four home runs. The thing that makes Gallardo great is he gives you a chance to win by keeping you in the game. Sometimes the offense does not click right away, but you know when he is on the mound you have a chance. Gallardo is young and will only get better as he gains experience from pitching. Look for him to be a 20 game winner in the future because he is that good.

Brewers Look Bad In 8-0 Loss To Cardinals
You had to know when the Milwaukee Brewers started to play tougher competition this was going to happen. St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright threw a complete game and Colby Rasmus drilled a two-run homer to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to an 8-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. Just another night for Brewers fans watching the Brewers stumble through another loss. Brewer fans deserve a lot better.
Milwaukee starter Randy Wolf (4-5) sent the first six batters down in order on 20 pitches before running into trouble in the third. Rasmus drew a leadoff walk and Brendan Ryan followed with a single up the middle. One out later, Rasmus scored on a grounder to third by Felipe Lopez. Wolf gave up five earned runs in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked four.
The Brewers only managed 2 hits in nine innings against the Cardinals and Wainwright. The bad part is that the series could get worse. Let's hope not. The Brewers have now lost five out of their last six and no end in sight to this horrible season.

Milwaukee Brewers 1982 Those Were The Days
Here is a video I found on YouTube about the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers. It is a great little video that someone made. It is about when the Milwaukee Brewers were actually winning games and a team that we could be proud of. They did not have the best players, but they gave it their all no matter what. Enjoy.
Florida Has Enough To Stop Brewers 3-2
It seems the Milwaukee Brewers just never have enough when they need it. Take yesterday's game for example. The Brewers sent Chris Capuano who has been out for two years to the mound and he pitched very well. He allowed just three earned runs which would normally get your team a win, but not the way the Brewers play. The Brewers could only manage one run off Florida Marlins pitch Josh Johnson who was very sharp. The Brewers were able to get one run off their bullpen as well. To the Brewers credit they did make it interesting in the end, but could not get the hit the needed.
Three Brewers had two hits apiece, but Milwaukee also had 10 strikeouts in the game. Milwaukee also left runners on in scoring position which also hurt them as well. Milwaukee has a weekend series with the St. Louis Cardinals and cannot afford to lose this series. They are slowing falling out of the pennant race and need some wins in this series. To the Brewers credit they continue to play hard and never give up.

Brewers Get Shutdown By Astros And Oswalt 5-0
After the Milwaukee Brewers played well Tuesday against the Houston Astros I thought we may get another good performance, but it did not happen. Astros ace Roy Oswalt had command of his pitches and cruised to an easy 5-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers who lost another home game which is no shock. Oswalt went 8 innings and only gave up four hits in the win. The Brewers Chris Naverson went only 4 innings giving up 8 hits and four runs to take the loss. Two bright spots for the Brewers were Trevor Hoffman who pitched one scoreless inning and Jeff Suppan pitched two innings of shutout ball.
Ryan Braun collected two hits for the Brewers and was the only Brewer play to do so. The Brewers are now 5-15 at home. That is just plain horrible no two ways about it. I do not know why the Brewers play so bad at home, but they do. Today, the Brewers have Dave Bush pitching with a 1:10 PM et start time. Hopefully, Dave Bush can give the Brewers some decent innings so the bullpen can get a rest. They have logged many innings already and it is still early in the season.

Brewers Need To Make A Change In The Dugout
Well the Milwaukee Brewers continued their free fall with another loss which has become an everyday occurrence it seems. The streak stands at 9 games and it is time for a change in the dugout. Ken Macha has been given more than enough time to get the Brewers untracked. Last year the Brewers were just a .500 ball club and this year they are worse.
The Brewers were suppose to be better this year as they added pitching, but the opposite has been true. The pitching has been horrible and it starts with the manager. Management cannot fire the whole team so making a change at manager is all that is left. Last year there was some rumblings about Ken Macha and with his lack of success maybe management should have listen. If the Brewers do get rid of Macha hiring Willie Randolph should be something they consider. He is a good manager and he cannot do any worse than what we have right now. Maybe the Brewers need a change. The direction they are going in right now is unacceptable.

Brewers Pound Dodgers 11-3
The Milwaukee Brewers scored early and late as they pounded the Los Angeles Dodgers for a second straight game. Milwaukee four runs in the first inning and got five more in the 8th inning and added two more in the 9th inning for a 11-3 rout of the Dodgers. Prince Fielder was 2 for 3 with 2 RBI's and Rickie weeks was 3 for 5 with 3 RBI's. In total the Brewers got 13 hits and have been hitting the ball much better. Of course this could also have something to do with the Dodgers pitching staff who has struggled.
Doug Davis struggled in the game, but did pitch well enough to get the win. he gave up three earned runs and the bullpen closed the door the rest of the way. This series against the Dodgers has shown the Brewers can hit the ball and when given good pitching they can win ball games. The key is they must continue to do this series after series. Just playing well in one series will not get the job done. Hopefully the Brewers will continue on a roll. I doubt it, but we will see.

Trevor Hoffman Will Be Fine Quit Sweating It Brewer Fans
The season so far has not gone well for the Milwaukee Brewers. Right now what could go wrong with the Milwaukee Brewers has. Even the reliable Trevor Hoffman has struggled and whispers have been popping up he should hang it up. I can tell you that Hoffman will get things going. He has been through tough stretches in his career and he will be fine. Trevor Hoffman is approaching 600 saves so when things go wrong he knows how to fix things. Now other pitchers I am not so sure about, but Hoffman I am.
Brewers pitching worries me and if I was Ken Macha I would give the ball to Hoffman as many times as possible. Will he blow some saves? Of course he will. All the good ones do as no one is perfect. Trevor Hoffman is fine and he will be the Brewers save leader at the end of the season. As far as others on the team I am not so sure about how to turn them around. I guess all we can do is hope the other pitchers can figure it out as well.

Brewers Finally Find offense In 11-6 Rout Of Dodgers
Brewer fans have been waiting for some offense for awhile and the Brewers bats finally woke up. Prince Fielder and Gregg Zaun homered, while Ryan Braun doubled in a 9 run second inning as the Brewers cruised to a easy 11-6 win over the Dodgers. Brewers hitters pounded out 15 hits with Gregg Zaun leading the way with three hits. The Brewers offense needed a game like this as they have been struggling to hit the ball. It was good to see Prince Fielder hit the ball better as well. It seems he just puts too much pressure on himself to perform at a high level night in and night out.
Pitching has been a problem for the Brewers lately, but they did get a good start from Chris Naverson who was able to go six innings and only give up three earned runs. The bullpen was not bad except for Manny Parra who only went one inning and gave up three runs. That worries me a little, but we will have to see if he continues to pitch that bad. Milwaukee needed this win as they have been struggling and a big win like this can only help the Brewers, Now let's see if they can make it two in a row.

Maybe Trading Prince Fielder Now Is A Good Idea?
Milwaukee Brewer fans have seen there fair share of players leaving Milwaukee and getting little or nothing in return. With a horrible start to the season Milwaukee should consider moving Prince Fielder who can become a free agent soon. He is going to want some big money and the Brewers have not shown the ability to keep people in the fold. The bottom line being in a small market the Brewers just cannot compete with the bigger markets. Fielder will command top dollar and just like C.C Sabathia bolted so will Fielder. You really can't blame him either.
Why would Fielder want to stay on a team that has one of the worse pitching staffs in the National League. He can go to a team that has a chance to win and get paid good for it as well. If he stays in Milwaukee him and Braun will need to knock in 5 runs apiece just to keep the game close. Trading Fielder is not something Brewer fans want to see, but best to get something than nothing at all. I will be shocked if he does not leave as why stay with a ball club that looks to be no better than .500 once again.

What's Going On With The Brewers?
Everyone is asking what is wrong with the Milwaukee Brewers? Simply put they stink on offense, defense, and pitching. When you stink in all three you get beat plain and simple. Take the weekend series in Sand Diego where the Brewers managed to score only two runs in four games against San Diego pitching. Meanwhile Brewer pitching gave up 21 runs in the losses. Everyone wants the answers and actually it's pretty simple. When you get no pitching it makes it tough to win games. Yes, the offense needs to score runs, but when you give up 21 runs you will not win a lot of ballgames.
The Brewers have a Team ERA of 5.09 and unless that comes down a lot the Brewers will not win a lot of games. Milwaukee is batting .268 as a team if you would take Ryan Braun's number out it would be much worse. The one guy who is really hurting the Brewers is Prince Fielder who is batting just .234 with 2 home runs and just a paltry 9 RBI's. Those numbers are horrible from a guy that usually carries the Brewers. Only Ryan Braun, Casey McGehee, and Jim Edmonds have done anything on the offense side of it. Unless the Brewers get going real soon they will be out of the playoff race by the end of May. Real sad real sad.

Brewers Crush Pirates 20-0
The Milwaukee Brewers found someone that they can beat and boy did they beat them. Milwaukee pounded out 25 hits on the way top an easy 20-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Milwaukee's Ryan Braun was 3 for 5 with 5 RBI's and Prince Fielder went deep for the first time this year. Jim Edmonds also had a good game 4 for 6 and 3 RBI's. Randy Wolf finally pitched a good game as he went six innings giving up no runs to get his second win of the season.
Milwaukee got healthy on Pirate pitching as they scored 36 runs and the pitching staff only gave up one run in the three game series. It's too bad the Brewers could not do this every series, but this was the Pirates so you must also consider that. It was great to get some great hitting and pitching, but don't hold a lot into it. The Brewers take on the Cubs next so we will see if they can keep rolling along or if this was just a fluke.

Brewers Struggling Early
The Milwaukee Brewers spent plenty of money in the off-season getting pitching help. So far the experiment has been a disaster. Doug Davis was brought in and is 0-1 with a 12.27 era. Randy Wolf has pitched decent, but has also struggled as well. The bullpen has struggled a lot as well. The Brewers pitching staff last year had a high ERA and so far this year it is at 5.52. Pretty close to what the Brewerswere last year. What has to be real troubling for Brewers fans are the home runs that the pitchers are giving up. Pitching is what gets you to the playoffs and right now the Brewers are really struggling.
On the offense side of it Ryan Braun, Casey McGehee, and Rickie Weeks have gotten out to fast starts. Prince Fielder is struggling and has just three RBI's and no home runs to go along with 15 strikeouts. Fielder is a guy the Brewers need to get going especially if the pitching is struggling like they are. Some lineup changes will probably be needed if they Brewers want to get things going in the right direction. The Brewers cannot fall to far behind as catching the Cardinals maybe real tough this year.

Milwaukee Brewers 2010 Preview
In this installment of Chalk Talk we will take a look at the 2010 Milwaukee Brewers. Last year was a disappointment for the Brewers and their fans. They had high hopes for the playoffs, but was just a .500 ball club. They hope 2010 will be different. Scoring runs has really not been a problem for the Milwaukee Brewers and they will be led again by Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder one of the best one-two punches in the National League. The Brewers need a healthy Rickie Weeks as well to help the offense along. Jim Edmonds could be a wild card as he is having a fine spring training. The Brewers will score plenty of runs this year.
Projected lineup
1. SS Alcides Escobar

Last year the biggest problem the Milwaukee Brewers had was pitching and GM Doug Melvin went out and got some talent. Melvin brought in Randy Wolf and Doug Davis to help a staff that was one of the worse in the National League last year. The bullpen again will be anchored by Trevor Hoffman who seems to get better with age.

2010 Brewers Looking To Make A Statement
Last year Milwaukee Brewer fans had to endure many different things. The pitching staff for the Brewers was one of the worse in Major League Baseball. In the off-season the Brewers did go out and get some pitching which included for Dodgers pitcher Randy Wolf. Toss in LaTroy Hawkins and some others and Brewers fans are looking for a much 2010.
The Brewers did trade away J.J. Hardy which I did not like at all. Losing Felipe Lopez was another player I wish the Brewers could have kept, but it did not work out for us. I am interested to see how we look as we head into spring training in a few weeks. I think we will be fine hitting the ball, but pitching still worries me a lot, but I will defer until I get to see more from them.
