Tigers-Brewers: Sticks Wake up for Series Sweep

After what seemed like an eternity, the bats finally woke up to lift our Detroit Tigers to a three-game sweep over Milwaukee. The offense was able to put up 28 hits and 19 runs in the first two games to help the back end of the rotation pick up two very important games.

The Pitcher to Save the Milwaukee Brewers' Season

It became obvious during their series with the Cleveland Indians that the biggest need for the Milwaukee Brewers is starting pitching. Unfortunately, trying to find that pitcher to acquire is going to be much easier said than done.

There are good options, bad options, and options that are more wishful thinking than anything that could be reality.

Each Team's Flaws in the National League Central

As of today, the National League Central is the closest division in all of baseball as all six teams are within four and a half games of first place. Leading the way are the Milwaukee Brewers with a 35-29 record followed by the Cardinals, Reds, Cubs, Pirates, and finally the Astros. As we are about a third of the way into the season, each team in the division has a flaw that will need to be fixed if they are to have a shot at winning the division.

 

Milwaukee Brewers, 35-29, First Place

Prince Ready to Trade His Crown for a Halo

Prince Fielder has looked downright kingly this year.

 

The 25-year old is hitting for average and power while playing top-notch defense at first base. Without a question, he is in the midst of a great season and makes a lethal one-two punch alongside slugging outfielder, Ryan Braun.

 

The Milwaukee Brewers Deserve Respect

Before the 2009 season started, there were three teams that were widely viewed as possible contenders for the National League Central crown: the Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, and the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cubs were the defending NL Central champs, had the best record in the National League in 2008, and were easily the most talented team in the division.

The Cardinals had the best player in baseball, Albert Pujols, several talented role players, and expected to see a return to dominance of Chris Carpenter.

Brewers: Manny Parra has Gone South. What's Next?

For Milwaukee Brewers' fans, the ugliest battle of the month hasn’t been David Letterman vs. Sarah Palin. It has been Brewers' starting pitcher Manny Parra vs. opposing batters. It’s a battle that Parra, with a 13.50 ERA over his last five starts, has been losing.

Saturday, after another horrible start in which he gave up six runs in 1-2/3 innings against a toothless Chicago White Sox lineup, Parra finally lost the war, as he was sent down to AAA Nashville.

Time For Brewers' Manny Parra to Go Down

I don’t know how many proverbial straws Milwaukee Brewers’ starting pitcher Manny Parra is working with, but hopefully this is his last one in Ken Macha’s eyes.

After finishing just 1.2 innings Saturday giving up six earned runs on six hits while walking three and striking out none, Parra has used just about every excuse he could possibly give for his recent struggles.  He is the first pitcher in the MLB to reach eight losses and has not won a decision since May 17th.

JJ Hardy's Future Isn't With The Milwaukee Brewers

JJ Hardy has recently become the center of attention lately in regard to trade talks for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Hardy may very well be the "Golden Boy" of Wisconsin sports. He's the player that all the men want to be and all the women want to be with. If you doubt that, take a good listen at Miller Park the next time the starting lineup is announced.

Never in the history of baseball has a career .265 hitter been so adored by fans. To hear some fans talk, you would think that a young Robin Yount was taking the field at short.

Milwaukee Brewers Looking at Trade Options with Boston Red Sox?

According to Boston.com, The Milwaukee Brewers "might" be taking a look at moving shortstop JJ Hardy to Boston in exchange for pitching.  It's a good feature on how baseball GM's analyze and execute trades, with Brewers GM Doug Melvin getting asked a few questions along the way. Boston Globe writer Nick Cafardo says:

J.J. Hardy to Boston Rumors, and More Milwaukee Brewers Thoughts

I was going to spend some time today talking about the current situation with Bill Hall, but it seems as though there is much more to talk about than just Hall. I will get to his situation in a bit.

First off, Dave Bush is ALL man! I know he lost the game last night and gave up a Ruthian home run to Marlins pitcher Josh Johnson, but the toughness Bush showed after taking a line drive off his pitching arm was outstanding.

Bush continues to be a very important part of the Brewers' rotation and he continues to give the Brewers a chance to win every game he pitches.
