don't think hitting is the problem for the Brewers. They kinda got away with not so good starting pitching last year because their pen was so stellar.

Hittingnid a problem. Cain has been mediocre. Aguilar atrocious. Shaw even worse.

Well their starters still are pretty average on the whole, but their pen ain't near as good this year.

Losing our closer was bad. Jeffress didn’t even start the season w the club.

Honestly, when you go into the season w 2.5 rookie pitchers it isn’t good.

Gonzalez will be back. That should help. Chacin hopefully will return to his previous standard.

Chase gave us way more than we ever expected. He will be gone next year.

We arrived a year or two early. Once Braun is off the books (excluding the deferred) we can target some guys.

I’d love if we could get Greinke back. That would really solidly the rotation.
