The Milwaukee Brewers' pitching staff still gets no respect. Maybe it is because they constantly are blowing opportunities to win. They are leading the National League in many statistical categories including ERA and WHIP.
The Brewers' record indicates a team not performing. However, they have had quality starts from guys Doug Davis and Victor Santos. In fact, Davis until Wednesday nights game against the Padres had gone 17 straight innings without giving up a run. All of this has been accomplished without the services of their ace, Ben Sheets.
Sheets has been out of the lineup for over 5 weeks with a inner ear infection. Now that the ace is back in action, the Brewers are poised to make a decent run this season.
After slipping into 3rd place in the NL Central, the Brewers have had the go ahead from owner Mark Anastasio to trade for players with higher salaries. Mixed with a surprise early season performance from Derrick Turnbow and the Brewer's pitching staff very well could end the season near the top of all the team statistics.
I would rather not jinx them but they won in San Diego which has proven to be the hardest park to play in this young season. They snapped the Padres 10 game home winning streak after losing the series opener on a baserunning error.
All I can say is GO BREW CREW!!!
