Re: 2017 Milwaukee Brewers, Back to Back Champions!
Doug Melvin has got to be sweating because they just signed Roenicke to the one year extension in Spring Training on the hopes that the players would get comfortable/confidant that Roenicke was their guy. The team never really did respond well to that. Melvin's contract is up next (and he deferred discussing his just to get Roenicke's done).
Not really sure it's his fault, and he was the fourth winning-est manager in Brewers history. Odd timing, but I saw in a JS-Online piece that the decision had been made on the road trip already, and even winning back-to-back games couldn't save his job.
Not sure how I feel about Counsell taking the helm. The recent trend of "former player of the team turned coach" haven't done well this season... Paul Molitor with the Twins (hired in 2015), Robin Ventura with the White Sox (hired in 2012). Only Brad Ausmus with the Tigers (hired in 2013) has done decently.
