I'm going to write a short one today. Do the Brewers really nice pitching that bad? It was the 3rd time in the last 7 games in which a Brewers starter allowed 1 ER or less that the Brewers end up losing. Parra pitched incredibly today with a final line of 110 Pitches, 77 for strikes in 7 innings with 7 strikeouts. Yet, the Brewers' bullpen falters, which doesn't happen often. But then again, how can you score just one run on offense and expect to win?
If the Brewers want to contend at all (they haven't been looking like a contender for weeks now), they need to do a major overhaul. Enough of all this buyers vs. sellers stuff, can't the Brewers do both.
The Brewers now have a lot of expendable players, whether you think so or not. Melvin thought about moving Cameron before the season. Hart and Hardy have both been in talks. Put those three in a package deal for a good starter and a single outfield replacement (given that either Gerut or Catalanotta can combine to fill one outfield positon and you bring up Escobar to fill-in for Hardy) in a two or three team trade, it could be possible. Even if Escobar bats .200 for the entire rest of the season, it won't be that much of a drop-off the way Hardy has been playing and from what I hear, the defense should be an upgrade.
I'm absolutely tired of the way the Brewers have been playing. We would be the same team offensively if we got rid of everyone besides Prince and Braun (Ok, McGehee can stay too). Maybe its just the sour taste in my mouth after todays loss, but HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO GO ON?!
If something isn't done right now, I can see the Brewers slipping harder and faster.
