MLB Milwaukee Brewers Starting Pitching Is Poison

Even if it is swallowing the remaining contracts, cut them all and make room for talented youth.
In a three game series against the mediocre 'Stros,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Brew Crew scored only two runs and gave up 16 runs. Starting pitching has plagued the Brewers all season, but July might have been the worst month yet.
If the team’s starting pitching has been suspect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it’s relief pitching has been just as questionable. The Brewers have found a small pitching bright spot recently in John Axford, who racked up 15 saves and a 6-1 record (zero starts.)

With the passing of the trade deadline, the Brewers aren’t going to get any help this season. Worse yet, the Brewers hitting is reliant on the home run, which is in consistent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and don’t have a starting player batting over .300.
The Brewers became prominent again by patiently grooming minor league talent inside their own system. Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Corey Hart and Yovani Gallardo were all drafted by the Brewers and brought up through the minors by the team.
Manchester United was formed in 1878 by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath as Newton Heath LYR Football Club. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies, but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination, a regional football league. However, following the league dissolution after just one season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance, which ran for three seasons before being merged with the Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892 to 93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the rail company and dropped the LYR from its name. After just two seasons, the club was relegated to the Second Division. Kevin C.

Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.
The Brewers wrapped up a tumultuous July in losing fashion against the Astros on Sunday.

The team’s ERA is ranked 26th in the MLB at 4.96 and the average batting opponents batting average is ranked 27th at .279.

If the Brewers don’t want to lose those talented players to free agency and trades in the future, they need to protect their success by fixing their pitching. Newton Heath initially played on a field on North Road, close to the railway yard. the original capacity was about 12,000,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club hoping to join The Football League. Some expansion took place in 1887, and in 1891 Newton Heath used its minimal financial reserves to purchase two grandstands, each able to hold 1,000 spectators. Although attendances were not recorded for many of the earliest matches at North Road, the highest documented attendance was approximately 15,000 for a First Division match against Sunderland on 4 March 1893. A similar attendance was also recorded for a friendly match against Gorton Villa on fifth September 1889.
The Brewers went 12-14 in the month and gave up five or more runs in 16 games,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including more than 10 runs in seven games. It’s hard to win ball games when the opposing squad is trotting across home plate that much.

The problem with Milwaukee’s pitching is they only have five pitchers with more than 10 starts. And of those five pitchers, only Yovani Gallardo (9-5) and Chris Narveson (8-7) have winning records.

The 42-year old Trevor Hoffman has only five saves this season and is making USD7.5 million. Chris Capuano won 18 games in 2005, and is 17-25 in the three seasons he played in since.
What the Brewers need to do is cut the expensive and under producing players and trade for young prospects and proven veterans.
