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.
