Mo is slashing .056/.056/.056 over the past 10 days

It would be nice if for once the pitching staff picked up the offense if they refuse to score more than 3 runs again.

It's going to be fun when the Brewers take the division again after losing several major pieces and having significant early season injury issues. Meanwhile the team with the roughly $100M payroll advantage seems to make up zero ground.

What major pieces have they lost besides Peralta?

[Soul]

Payroll doesn’t seem to matter with the Brewers in the regular season.

Caleb Durbin, Isaac Collins and Nick Mears were all significant contributors. None of them had FBF's stature and none of them are doing much this year, but last year they played important roles.

Thanks. I am actually an enemy from up north but promise to behave myself in here, be respectful and not troll. Thank you for running these sites, they are wonderful!

I think he needs a reset at AAA.

 

[Hunter]

It always feels like slumps are because the league adjusts to the Cubs and then the players are slow to make adjustments. 

[NorthsideAvenger]

Reds played well, got to first then slump and fell to last in the division. The Cubs played well, got to first place then slump and fell in the division. The Brewers played well, got to first and then their slump should be incoming, right?

Brewers deserve credit for fixing Harrison.  He's been a stud.  Great challenge for this lineup tonight

Been bad over his last 15 games, might be time to send him down and get some work in.

.061/.130/.122/.252 12 Ks

Cubs starter for Friday is still TBD, mildly interesting

They haven't named any starters yet for that series, dont know why it just wouldn't be Taillon,  Rea, and Imanaga per usual

Bring up Alcantara to play right (The Zuki at DH) and showcase him for trade partners (pitching).

Cubs have given up 67 HR's. Taillon is responsible for 16 of them

going out on a limb and saying one pitcher giving up 24% of a team's HR would be a record

Anecdotally feels like we haven’t had a clean first inning in a long time.

I think Shota did a few days ago.
