After being shut out by the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night, the Brewers offense now owns a collective 81 wRC+. That is tied for the second-worst in all of Major League Baseball, and it includes a ten-run outburst from this past Sunday. Had it not been for that game, Milwaukee’s offense would likely rank last in the sport. Thanks to their futility at the plate, the Brewers have wasted some of the best starting pitching the franchise has ever seen from Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes, and Freddy Peralta.
To avoid mincing words, this is unacceptable for a team that claims to be a playoff contender.
