The blow out and the subsequent aftermath was mostly due to the efforts of none other than Gallardo. In the process Milwaukee managed to destroy the Pittsburg pirates and establish themselves as one of the teams to be feared on the circuit. The star of the show made a rather good outing on the day. There were six very strong innings and three runs. The final score came out at seventeen points to three. This is just the latest event in the narrative that has seen the Brewers consistently deal with the threat of the Pittsburgh pirates.
In the last four meetings between the Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates, the scores have not been even. In fact the Brewers lead their opponents with a fifty three score which has been responded to with a paltry four scores. The Pirates have to think of a new strategy to get out of this losing streak otherwise it might become their narrative for the foreseeable future. The figures are not very good for Pittsburgh because it is their seventh straight defeat and they have lost to the Brewers no less than twenty two times at the Miller Park stadium. This home winning streak by the Brewers against the Pittsburgh Pirates ranks as one of the longest by a single team since the Indians defeated St Louise and Baltimore in the 1952 to 1954 season period.
The conundrum for the team was best reflected by the comment from Zach Duke who said that he cannot explain the situation. After the demoralizing defeat there was a thirty minute meeting behind closed doors. I wish I was a fly on the wall to see what strategy they had to get rid of this unfortunate trend. One has to feel some sympathy for the long suffering fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates. They have had to deal with all the negative attention that comes with such a consistent losing streak that they must be wondering whether they will ever get any good news from their team. At the moment it seems doubtful that such a thing will happen within the auspices of the MLB Baseball league.
