Brewers Fall out of First Place

With last nights loss to the Reds the Brewers are now in second place. They are a half game back of the Cubs. The loss makes 5 straight for the crew. This team just cannot win right now. Everyone in the rotation is getting killed every time out. Nothing seems to be working.

Things need to turn around quickly or Ned Yost may be looking at unemployment at the end of the season. The Brewers are lucky to be so close to first the way they've played in the second half. This team can still win the division but the starting rotation needs to get better.

For the most part the bats have been pretty solid except for Weeks and Hall who have just forgotten how to hit. Gabe Gross is a good addition to the lineup. He knows how to get on base and can add a little pop. The Brewers need guys to actually get on base for when Fielder and Braun hit their home runs. I have never seen a team hit as many solo homers at the Brewers do.

Bottom line the pitching needs to improve though. It doesn't matter if you can score when you give up 8 runs a game. Ben Sheets please come back soon...
