Hey, maybe the Crew was just unlucky
Despite the relatively poor start, the Brewers are actually ranked 10th in the Beyond the Box Score power rankings. The reason is the discrepancy between the actually number of runs they allowed versus the number they "should" have allowed, based on luck-independent performance. Although they allowed 77 runs over their first 13 games, BtB says they should have only allowed 62, which translates to a .562 winning percentage, rather than .462

Luck
has always been a part of the game. In the long run, I would think that every team in the league would have the same amount of luck… good and bad.
It’s nice think that the Brewers (without bad luck) would have a winning record right now, but really it doesn’t mean much… maybe give some fans a reason to step away from the ledge. I mean afterall… 14 whole games have been played so far.
I think it is more likely our management did some dumb things.

They could be winning at an 1.100 clip if Gerut got a start or three
Failure is just success rounded down.
I think you missed a decimal point there
That should be a 11.00 (1100%) clip.
