Worser and worser. The Milwaukee Brewers stumbled through another bad week, going 1-4 and dropping their disastrous August record to 5-15. They have fallen 4.5 games behind the Cubs, and into third place a half game back of the Cardinals. Oh, and they are now out of the Wild Card standings if the season ended last night.
The season didn’t end last night; there are still 37 games to play, so a recovery isn’t even remotely impossible. Until you look at how incredibly bad the Brewers’ pitching has been lately. I don’t want to, but if you would like to look, please check out this informative (as usual) piece from Nicholas Zettel on BP Milwaukee (If you like deep statistical analysis and good writing, and you aren’t paying attention to Nicholas’ stuff, you are missing out).
