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.
