Holy Homestand!

It's a wonder the Brewers even managed to win one game on this home stand:

Last 7 Days (7 G): .229/.307/.396; 24 R; 227 AB, 52 H, 13 2B, 2 3B, 7 HR; 61 K/26 BB

And...

Starters: 41.7 IP, 61 H, 37 R, 28 K/11 BB; 7.99 runs average, 5.96 IP/GS

Bullpen: 21.3 IP, 27 H, 12 R, 12 K/11 BB; 1/2 SVO; .3157 WHIP (R)/(H+BB)

The Brewers' pitching staff allowed 49 runs, or 7.00 runs per game, and the Brewers' offense scored 24 runs, or 3.43 runs per game.

There's not much of a spin that can be put on this performance, but it's quite clear that the Brewers literally lost it on all cylinders during this homestand, but perhaps the signs were already there after the team left San Francisco; they managed to win three improbable games in St. Louis on late, timely hits in a series that lacked offensive production otherwise.

If we stretch the offensive woes through St. Louis, we might figure that the Brewers managed to go 5-6 during a tough 11 game stretch where they scored 37 runs and allowed 58 runs.

Since the break? The Brewers are 8-6, scoring 61 runs and allowing 68 runs.

If the Brewers can wrap up this slump shortly, they will escape with admittedly limited damage.

About This Blog

I am Nicholas Zettel, and this is my baseball blog. I write for SportsBubbler.com, and along the way I do a lot of research -- this blog will have a lot of little tidbits of information that I pick up along the way. I like sluggers, speed and power, garbage time relievers, and my favorite Brewers are Rickie Weeks and Ben Sheets.
