Despite this bad run, there is reason to hope.
If the Milwaukee Brewers do stand pat, it’s likely that they’ll still be a contender to make the playoffs. However, as this recent stretch has shown, there’s a real danger they won’t make it unless they can fix several of the weaknesses on their team. They’re not a true title contender either with their current roster.
The Milwaukee Brewers are a bat or two, a starting pitcher, and two bullpen arms away from being a real contender for a title. The offense could be addressed internally. Their pitching cannot.
It’s up to David Stearns to do everything in his power to make sure the Milwaukee Brewers d everything they can to improve in the coming days and weeks. Their 2019 season may depend on it.
