Only in Milwaukee…
…could a reporter be excited about a 7IP start.
Frankly this ‘woe is me’ attitude is really silly, especially considering how well the last 3 games have been played. Between this post and the Ken Macha ‘blowup’ yesterday it’s pretty clear that the JS is trying to create this silly narrative that the Brewers are awful, they need a complete change of scenery, and woe is me my team isn’t a playoff contender right now.
That’s just simply not true. I actually sense a little winning streak coming up, Hart’s stroking it right now and Fielder’s been walking a ton lately, which is how his hot streaks start. Hot pitching is contagious, and the last two games have felt like momentum.
As for Ken Macha getting fired (or not getting fired, I should say), I only have to real complaints with him: He overuses Todd Coffey, and he doesn’t get ejected when the team could use a fire lit under its ass (see Friday night, 1st inning vs. Twins).
