Series Six Pack with Blog Red Machine’s Steve Engbloom

Benjamin Orr — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 17:00:11 +0000

For the Milwaukee Brewers (44-47), July has been a month of tests so far. As we’ve noticed, the Brewers have gone 4-2 after the All-Star break, but should be 6-0 as they let two games slip away from them. Heading into the Great American Ball Park tonight to play the Cincinnati Reds (52-40) only adds to the test. The Brewers’ season is by no means shot, but in order to keep it away from there, they must sweep this series. On the other hand, the Reds are in a firefight for first place in the NL Central and it something they do not want to see slide by. The Reds head into this series without one of their star players, Joey Votto, but look to continue on in front of their home crowd.

For this preview, I asked Steve Engbloom of Blog Red Machine a few questions. Blog Red Machine is FanSided’s Cincinnati Reds’ blog so be sure to check them out by clicking on the link!

Any questions about when the Brewers offense was going to come alive can be put aside – at least for now. The Brew Crew’s bats were on full tilt in the final game at Great American Ballpark to pick up a win for Milwaukee starter Zack Greinke. Greinke did not have his best stuff today, [...]

Previewing the Brewers-Reds Series #2

Benjamin Orr — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 16:00:50 +0000

Tonight will mark the Milwaukee Brewers‘ (33-39) second series of the season with the Cincinnati Reds (39-32). We lost the previous series against the Reds back in May, only winning one game in that three game series. Since May, the Reds have continued be red hot while the Brewers’ struggles have not faded at all. This time the Reds will be heavily favored again, especially since this series takes place at the Great American Ball Park in Cincy. Tonight’s match-up will see the Brewers’ Yovani Gallardo (6-5, 4.22 ERA) against the Reds’ Mat Latos (5-2, 5.20 ERA). The Brewers have struggled all season with division games and this series isn’t any easier. The Reds have been in first or at least tied for first for a good portion of the season so this is a series they must win to fend off the surging Pittsburgh Pirates. On the other hand, the Brewers must win, if not sweep, this series in order to keep their hopes up for the rest of the 2012 season.
