Things are not going well for the Brewers on the West Coast. They’ve dropped four of their last five games and endangered of getting swept yet again. They had that fear in Houston (Only a two-game set), San Francisco and now San Diego. Brewers were able to avoid the first two times and now will try to do the same on Wednesday. Milwaukee fell last night, 4-1, as the Brewers continue to struggle to put runs on the board. Milwaukee cannot seem to muster any offense versus San Diego, and it is frustrating to say the least considering all of their pitchers were awful last weekend. As I said yesterday on the podcast, the noise around Keston Hiura is going to get louder and louder.

Player of the Game: Logan Allen – San Diego had a pitching prospect make his debut on Tuesday night, and he did a marvelous job. Allen went seven innings strong only allowing three hits and striking out five batters. Brewers continue to struggle with left-handers on the mound. Also, this is probably the 10th straight year where Milwaukee has made one pitching prospect look like Cy Young in his first start in the big leagues. It happens every year.

The Thing I Like: Brandon Woodruff, elite batter – We’re at the point where Brandon Woodruff could easily to be a pinch-hitter for the Brewers. He is batting .364 on the season. It is June, and he already has the second-most hits for a pitcher in Brewers history with 12. Woody lashed the only extra-base hit of the game which we could deem as sad but also, it’s cool to see him possesses a great bat.

The Thing I Didn’t Like: How much longer with Alex Claudio – Brewers left-hander is easily one of the worst parts of the team. I’m not sure there are any others that leave a stench as Claudio does when he goes on the mound. He did not give up a run yesterday, but he tried his fucking best. Claudio gave up a hit and walked two batters.

Next up: Brewers will try to avoid a sweep this afternoon. Zach Davies will try to play the stopper for the Crew. He has been terrific all year but has been scuffling a little bit in his last two appearances. Padres will send another left-hander to the hill, Matt Stahm. You hope that after the last two games of lefties that Milwaukee will be ready for him. Stahm has given up 13 runs in his last two starts.

Charlie.
