Cup 'O Brew

Been a while since I talked about the Brewers, so figured I'd go over their last week.
They went 3-3 against SD and the Mets. The offense was there with the Brewers scoring 33 runs (5.5/gm), but the pitching was not so good (35 runs 5.8/gm). Turnbow blew one game with a 9th inning meltdown against the Mets on Saturday, then yesterday did it again, but
Billy Hall saved him with a walk-off HR you gotta see. Brewers used the pink bats to highlight Mother's Day and breast cancer awareness.

Here's some of the Brewers numbers from the week that was:
OBP .305
SLG .441 (12 HRs)

ERA 5.17
WHIP 1.55

Overall, the Brewers are one of the highest scoring teams in the NL. Unfortunately, they also give up some of the most runs in the NL. Sheets being on the DL certainly is not helping things. Maddox needs to help turn that staff around and get this back on track. Currently the team is 19-19, but in my opinion, better than that.
