The Crew - 2026

Uggg.......I shouldn't have said anything, I jinxed the Miz!

The Miz was scheduled to pitch today and won't be. Murph stated: “His arm doesn’t feel great. His body doesn’t feel great. There’s no imaging or none of that stuff going on, we’re just giving him a rest and he needs some time away from throwing."

Let's hope he is just tired and maybe a sign to start pulling him at 80 pitches or less.

Starting pitching appears to be a HUGE need, now. Woo, Harrison on 15 DL, & Miz missing at least 1 start. If Woo can come back this season make him a 2-3 inning middle-reliever to strengthen that area.

"Great" pitching in Pittsburgh today and that is only 4 innings worth.

Glad the All-Star break is here.....this team needs to regroup after the rough series in Pittsburgh.

Yeah... that series was a slap in the face with the carp of reality. The Cardinal series must have taken all of their vim and vigor. Last season, they were in middle of their 11 game win streak.

Fortunately, its a 162 game season and in the big picture, this may have been the wakeup call that the Brewers needed. I still think they have a roster that can compete for a World Series, but injuries and slumps will effect it a lot more than the higher payroll teams.

My biggest concern has shifted to the starting pitching rotation, as well as middle relief. With Miz's status suddenly being a bit tenuous and Woody being put on the 60 day IL with a right anterior shoulder capsule injury, our starting rotation has taken a blow. Which brings me to the middle relievers. If we can't get more than 5-7 innings out of the starters, that's a problem. On any given night, it seems our middle relievers are either pitching like Cy Young Winners or they get shelled and look like they shouldn't be pitching in the majors.

It will be interesting to see what the Brewers do between now and the Trade Deadline.

I agree. Might be the best way to salvage his career. I won't repeat myself from a previous post, but with the way pitchers throw now, its surprising that their arms/shoulders even last a whole season.

It looked someone took the wind out of their sails. In a way I'm kinda glad. Last year the team went on that 14 game winning streak. I think it was right before the Break. I am not happy with the way they played but not horribly worried at this point.
Didn't pitching become a big issue last year?

I think that first game of the Pirate series really set the Brewers up for failure in the series. They were cruising along, into the bottom of the 7th, with a 6-3 lead. Goggle Boy (Ashby) comes in a shits the bed, giving up a Grand Slam HR. From that point on, they just didn't seem to bounce back.
