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.
