Milwaukee Brewers are having a bad month. The Brew Crew’s record in the month of June is 10-11. It feels worse than that, right? Maybe, it is because Milwaukee should be taking advantage of a weak schedule, and they’re not. Brewers faced teams under .500 for the last few weeks, and the results haven’t been good. The team has lost nine of its last 12 games, and thankfully for them, the rest of the National League Central is floundering too. Brewers could have taken advantage, but instead, they’re playing down to their opponents. They lost again last night, 3-2. Milwaukee has not won a series since their Pittsburgh sweep earlier this month.

Player of the Game: J.P Crawford – For the second straight game, this guy found a way to kill the Brewers. We’ll give him a Brewers Killer Club t-shirt after today’s game. He has been a terror. Crawford drove in three runs and was a home run away from the cycle. He made solid contact every time he got up to the plate. Crawford added a big insurance run in the ninth inning to push Seattle’s lead to two runs.

Honorable Mention: Wade LeBlanc – Brewers did not do much versus the Seattle lefty. He came into the game after one inning of opener work and pitched very well for the Mariners. He gave up two home runs to Mike Moustakas and Ben Gamel yet Gamel’s homer was a misplay in left field leading to an inside-the-park home run. He took care of business against Milwaukee’s lineup yesterday to hold the early 3-0 Mariners lead.

The Thing I didn’t like: The lineup completely sucked – What are we doing here? How long will this go on before Keston Hiura is up in the big leagues? There are way too many guys not holding their own. The fact Gamel hit fifth last night is fucking ridiculous. Add to that with Manny Pina and Hernan Perez in the lineup, things are gross right now for the Brewers.

Tweets that might you go ‘Huh… Interesting’

Hernan Perez, in the lineup again tonight, is hitting .143 with one extra-base hit in 40 PA since Hiura was sent down. That's not optimal for the Brewers, especially considering they have a mashing right-handed bat in AAA.

Next up: Brewers will try to avoid getting swept by a last-place team this afternoon. The weather is will be hot and sticky so expect balls to be flying out of the ballpark. That is not good news for the gopher ball man himself, Chase Anderson. He will be on the mound versus an old friend in Mike Leake who has faced Milwaukee a bunch. Other than Eric Thames, Leake has very good numbers against the Brewers’ batters.

Charlie.
