I watch this series and further ponder the inexplicability of leaving RHP Shane Smith unprotected in the Rule 5 Draft.

Like, really? REALLLLLLY?!?

I'm continuing to cope very well.

If I know this organization, we delayed delivery of them until mid-May for free shipping rather than paying for expedited to get them this week.

This entire rotation is going to be on the IL by May from the constant whiplash of turning their heads around to watch the ball sail out of the yard.

MLB just needs to go with the automated ball and strikes already.  This is getting ridiculous.

In and out of a jam! Cy Bauers at it again

ERA .000  You can't get any better than that. Low Exit Velo also.

If the Brewers want to take their 'Masters of Market Inefficiencies' up a notch...

How about the Closer who can throw a 55 mph curve?

What happened to Yelich. another back injury?

No idea just saw he was pinch hit for.  Just assuming he will be unavailable tomorrow and will hit the IL in a week or two.

I totally would have taken one win had you offered it to me on Thursday morning, so I'm not totally surprised we got swept. I'm pretty bummed at how ugly these last two games were, though.

Anyone can see the pitching is alarmingly thin, even recognizing that the Yankees can both really mash and are really hot. I seem to recall them hammering us in the last two games of a series last year too, so maybe it's some bad-matchup stuff too.

We didn't look very ready offensively this series either, but that's not necessarily a sign of concern yet.

I just also think this year feels weird to me. I was super optimistic last year, even though a lot of folks seemed to think it was a transition year. This year feels very transitional to me, trying to figure out who the pitchers are and losing Adames on the position player side. It just feels like a Brewers team that's going to have to gel in the summer months rather than right out of the chute. There needs to be a real veteran leader figuring things out, and I'm not sure who that will be with Woody sidelined, Yelich coming off surgery, Hoskins on the downswing of his career, and Jackson still really young. It should be Contreras, but he just doesn't seem like that type of leader to me (Yeli either, for that matter). Woody is that guy, so maybe his rehab helps things and some of the young OFs grow into themselves. Will help to get Perkins back too.

Hoskins is at the Lo Cain portion of his career. 

Past the sell by date.

A -22 run differential after one series, holy smokes.

Not surprising, really. Our rotation isn't very good, and we lost a lot of offense, and didn't even try to replace it.

Did we lose more than Adames? The Brewers got more production from Joey Ortiz this weekend than Adames provided the Giants.

In sum Brewers looked bad this weekend. This week is the true test to see which way this thing is going. Royals and Reds can both hit too

Lotta' season left, but, yeah, not a good start. I guess we'll know by the end of May if the Brewers will have a chance to make the playoffs, or if this season will be a bust.

Wonder what kind of odds I could get in Vegas of them finishing with a plus differential?
