Brewers need to find new closer

May 19, 2010 By

Whether Trevor Hoffman agrees to step down as the Milwaukee Brewers closer or management forces that decision, one thing is certainly clear, it’s time the Brewers find somebody else to close out games.

Hoffman blew his 5th save in the Brewers 5-4 loss to the Reds on Tuesday afternoon, sending the Brewers to their season high 8th straight loss. 

Hoffman entered in the 9th, asked to protect a 4-2 lead.  But Hoffman allowed all five batters he faced to reach base.  Hoffman fell to 1-3 with a 13.15 ERA.  His 5-blown saves is one more than all of last year.

Ryan Braun homered in the loss.  The Brewers open a 2-game series in Pittsburgh against the Pirates tonight.

Late home run beats the Brewers

April 10, 2010 By

Nick Stavinoha’s 2-run pinch hit homer in the 9th off of closer Trevor Hoffman gave the St. Louis Cardinals a 5-4 come from behind win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park on Friday night.

The home run came in Stavinoha’s first plate appearance of the season. 

It’s the first blow save of the season for Hoffman (0-1), who converted his first two save chances this season.

Matt Holliday also clubbed a 2-run homer for the Cardinals, in the 6th off of starter Dave Bush, to pull St. Louis to within one run (4-3).  Bush did a number on one of baseball’s best hitters, Albert Pujols.  Pujols went 0 for 3 with a strikeout. 

Game 2 of the series is this afternoon.
