Sunday, May 11, 2008 (5/11/2008 08:34:00 PM) - Al The Brewers, despite their closer issues, are 13-1 when leading after eight innings. Much of the "whoa is us" mentality has been from fans who have not really paid a whole lot of attention to anything except overreacting to this and that. The team is a game under .500 right now, and while many seem to think that's not enough victories, the truth is, they are just a couple games below where a 90 win team would be at this time in the season. With the rotation, at best, struggling thus far, they are fortunate to have as many W's as they do. I'm still thinking if they can get through the next couple weeks, a stretch of tough games and mostly road games thus far in the season, they might just be near where they want to be when June 1st rolls around. If they can raise that team OBP some and start getting an average of 6.25-6.5 frames out of their SP's (thus far, it's 5.77), they might just end up where we expected. More than anything else, they are in a spot in which they need Ben Sheets healthy and pitching every 5th day. They had the depth to be all right without him, but they have now lost it. 5/11/2008 08:34:00 PM |
