Brew News for July 13th

As of 7/12: 45-43, 2nd NL Central Previous Game: Dodgers 7, Brewers 4

Well now that the Brewers are 3-7 in their last 10 and are only two games over .500 it’s safe to say that this short all-star break couldn’t have come any sooner. They were hands-down embarrassed in all three series. And Yovani? Where the hell has his pitching gone.

This just does not look like the same team that was playing before Rickie Weeks went down. They are 23-29 since then and it leaves me to ponder, WTF is going on here. Rickie was not the best player in the league, so why has his exit rotted the team. Inconsistent lineups day-in and day-out can probably explain the batting.

But not Ryan Braun’s.

Wisconsin Radio Network writes on the Brewers struggles heading into the all-star break after rough third game against the Dodgers. At this point, a three-day break just doesn’t seem long enough to me. I’d prefer a three month break at this point. Check out their snippet.

Quevedo at the Buffett has some choice words for the Brewers, and after the last month, he pretty much hits it on the head. While I won’t repeat much of it on this site, he spits out my ramblings exactly. Definitely a must read!

620 WTMJ has a bunch of one or two sentence lines that sum up the Brewers. Myself, I read a few, but then skipped down to the bottom to read this, “Unless Melvin pulls off a move or two or Ken Macha figures out a way to straighten out the inconsistent hitting, the Brewers are staring 83-79 in the face.”

I have to disagree, I think he has the W-L numbers reversed. Read here.

And on to the All Star break! Decider Milwaukee talks all-stars and tries to determine who the best player on the Brewers is. It seems to change every year. Read!

Trevor Hoffman was announced as an All-Star sub for Tuesday’s game. He will replace Los Angeles Jonathan Broxton who apparently pretended he wasn’t hurt. Trevor definitely deserved it as he’s been lights out 20 out of 22 times for the Brewers. Would be nice if he just never gave up a run. That was some streak he had earlier this season. See here
