Free Luke Adams!

[Turning2]

He was pulled from a game which led to speculation that he was getting called up. But reports are that Luke Adams injured himself while warming up during a game yesterday or possibly the day before. Heard this on the Micro Brew podcast with JR Radcliffe

Brewers need to do SOMETHING to spark this offense. At this point it's reaching "definition of insanity" levels. I don't know if I've ever seen the offense as a whole just go into a prolonged slump like this. Yet we just keep running the same group out there.

They’ve scored 40 runs in 12 games this month, and have allowed 40 runs in 12 games, and have gone 6-6. 
 

I don’t know if I’d say that’s a “prolonged slump”. Certainly it’s not “definition of insantiy”, as they’re playing .500 ball.
 

To accurately label the sentiment I’d say it’s “heightened expectations”.

Yep, 3.33 RA per game is better than any other team over the full season while scoring 3.33 runs per game would be the worst in the league over a full season. So maybe the offense has been terrible?

You can’t win if you don’t score and they’re 6-6 this month. Not pick the stats but they play 162 games and there’s always ups and downs. 
 

Yesterday, for example, the maligned offense did enough to win multiple times and Patrick, Ashby and Senzatela couldn’t finish the job, it happens over the course of 162.

The pitching staff gave up 2 runs in 9 innings. Over the season Padres score 4.28 R/G and the Brewers give up 3.82 R/G.

The offense scored 2 runs in 9 innings. Over the season the Brewers score 4.89 R/G and the Padres give up 4.27 R/G.

One side did enough to win yesterday and it wasn't the offense.

I guess we’ll disagree. Offense gave them the lead yesterday. Pitching staff lost it in the 8th, offense gave them the lead again in the 11th and pitching staff lost it.
