BALTIMORE — Deep breaths, Brewers fans. That was quite the shellacking the Crew took yesterday and it would be easy to become anxious. But the Crew still has two games to win one. The O’s have beaten the Crew two out of three times this season. Baltimore got its two and the law of averages says the Crew will take Saturday’s game.
It’s true that Doc Medich (12-14) doesn’t inspire much faith, but one would have to think Harvey’s Wallbangers would wake up some time in the series. Then again, they do face lefty Scott McGregor (14-12), who already has two of his 14 wins against the Brewers this season.
So, the law of averages vs. the trending numbers. It’s no time to panic. Right? Crew?
Right?
