The snakes started biting in Milwaukee even before the 2019 regular season began for the Brewers. Relievers Bobby Wahl and Corey Knebel were lost for the season before the end of Spring Training, and Jeremy Jeffress went on the shelf and never came back effectively before getting cut loose. Gio Gonzalez missed two months on the Injured List. Jimmy Nelson finally returned from his shoulder surgery, was ineffective, then went down with an elbow issue. Chase Anderson and Zach Davies have both had stints on the IL. Jhoulys Chacin spent time on the shelf and pitched well enough to get released.
They lost an MVP, but the Milwaukee Brewers can still win a playoff spot
