The Brewers have stumbled somewhat so far. Before jumping ship look at the starting pitchers they've had to face. Unit, Schilling, Matt Morris, Wade Miller and Roy Oswalt...Ouch! Tough on a young club..
More of a concern to me is our bullpen..Mike DeJean is ok but not a closer..Any leads we've had have been frittered away (the four walks in a row by Nomura was a real low point). With King, Lezkanic and Fox down it could turn into a long April and May...Hope the offense wakes up...Some plate dicipline would be nice...Glad Hernandez got sat after flailing so badly..On the good side I really like what I see of Alex Sanchez and I hope Alcantara gets brought up and given a shot eventually. One other point is the lack of fire the Crew has shown so far...Is Lopes too passive? These guys need a kick in the butt...
