This is pathetic. Great 1st round bust Wicks is. Should have been Assad getting the start but it doesn’t matter this team is dead. Offense can’t hit and the pitching is too hurt. At least we had April to early May.
 
JFC, this is getting ridiculous. What the hell happened to this team.

Pitching injuries caught up with us. Hitters that are just way too streaky. That has been an issue in past seasons as well. Also feels like this team is a bit soft. Too many "good/nice" guys on the squad?

The fact that no player has demolished a cooler with a bat in the dugout or nobody has been seen yelling at one another in the dugout or any other sort of outburst is really telling. Just a bunch of betas cashing checks.

If this team really has post season aspirations, the last 2 weeks can’t happen. And nobody looks determined to fix it. Everyone is waiting for someone else to do something.

We are leading the league in chill bros though.

I know about the pitching injuries, but they went on their win streak after most of the injuries. I'm not giving up on the team but this has been a pretty jarring ride. To go from making every play to win a game to being completely hapless in less than a month is a pretty wild ride and hard to understand.

It really doesn't matter, the Brewers are going to end up running away from the others by the All Star break, the rest will be playing for 2nd place in the division.
