If you read anything Milwaukee Brewers related on Twitter, you’ve likely seen opinions that the sky is falling on this Brewers bullpen and that this group needs some serious help. If you’ve been watching the games, you probably don’t think those takes are that ridiculous either.
In Tuesday night’s game, the Brewers offense gave the bullpen an 8-7 lead, and they couldn’t hold it, allowing the Angels to re-take the lead, and eventually win 11-8. Pitchers like Alex Wilson and Jake Petricka were pitching in meaningful innings when we would normally see someone like Knebel or Josh Hader.
