Previous Game: Tigers 3, Brewers 2

The Milwaukee Brewer successfully allowed the Tigers to sweep them out of Detroit Sunday afternoon at the hands of Justin Verlander.  The Crew now drop to 1.5 games behind St. Louis for first place. The Brewers pitching staff is starting to scare me and I’m only somewhat comfortable with three pitchers: Gallardo, Suppan and Looper.

And regarding the current fourth starter, it appears as if Dave Bush may very well be skipped over for his next start. Bush has admitted to fatigue and could certainly use the break. Problem is, with Parra sucking and trying to regain confidence in Nashville (AAA), the Brewers will have to rush to determine who will fill one pitching spot, and maybe two. See More.

St. Louis Today has finally said something the Brewers fans know all too well, and that is that the Crew needs to urgently find a starter. They are taking notice at the pitching struggles as of late. Check out point #3.

And here’s where it gets tough. Last year, the Brewers made a trade for all star Ace CC Sabathia. This year, fans are expecting nothing less than another opportunity at a starting phenom coming to town. Thing is, the Brewers are most likely not going to do anything of the sort. Read more…

OnMilwaukee has added by putting it into better perspective: The players dictate success. Meaning what that Ken Macha can’t do it, the players must find their grooves and hit their strides where they can. And while Melvin may pull a deadline deal, the Brewers must make it happen for themselves. Too many players are slumping. Check it out.

In some upbeat news, however, FoxSports has a pretty sweet article on Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder. They state that they are the best power hitting duo in baseball right now, and i seem to agree. Read here.

Jeffrey Motiff at the Bleacher Report sees that the Brewers must make their move now. As he reports, “the Brewers have 19 games before the All-Star break and 15 of them will be played at Miller Park. In fact, traveling will not be an issue at all for the Brewers. The four games away from Miller Park will be played only 90 miles down I-94 at Wrigley Field in Chicago against the Cubs.” Read more here!

And are you sick of going to games when the Brewers host the Cubs, White Sox or Twins and the away teams audience seems to be higher than the home teams? Well so am I, and in fact, so is Jason Albert. He has a task for you: STOP SELLING YOUR TICKETS. Take a look at his article in Decider Madison.
