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 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.

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
2. 2B Rickie Weeks
3. LF Ryan Braun
4. 1B Prince Fielder.
5. 3B Casey McGehee
6. RF Corey Hart
7. CF Carlos Gomez
8. C Gregg Zaun
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.
Projected rotation
1. LHP Randy Wolf
2. RHP Yovani Gallardo
3. LHP Doug Davis
4. RHP Jeff Suppan
5. LHP Manny Parra
Projected closer
RHP Trevor Hoffman

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.
