Right now the Milwaukee Brewers are not hitting, and the pitching staff is burdened with having to keep this team in just about every game. Milwaukee currently stands at 7-10 and in fourth place in the NL Central. They are 4-2 when the pitching staff gives up 3-runs or fewer. In two of those wins, the Brewers’ pitchers shut out the other team. In four of the 3-runs or fewer games, Brandon Woodruff was the starting pitcher.
Pitching, however, is not Milwaukee’s issue, at least not the big one. The issue is offense. While speaking with Bob Brainerd on his new radio program, Brew City Sports Tonight, he suggested I look into the Brewers’ hitting woes in detail.
