The Brewers were swept this afternoon by the BoSox in a series that saw quite a few homers and a whole lot of runs...by both sides. Milwaukee certainly had the run support it was missing thus far in the season. However, it still wasn't enough.
The Brewers will limp in to Pittsburgh tomorrow for a 3 game series. Nate McLouth and the Pirates should be a good match up for the Brewers. We shall see if the Brewers continue to drive in the those runs.
I find it strangely odd, that the only one on this team who is voicing their mind and providing some leadership....is the player who has not even played a full season in the big leagues. Ryan Braun spoke out today about the level of confidence the Brewers have right now and especially at the start of the Boston series.
Who is the leader of this team? There should be at least 3. Yet I can't think of one. What comes to mind when you mention Hart, Hardy, Weeks, or Hall? I see four quiet performers who do their own jobs. Perhaps Mike Cameron? I doubt it though, he's only been on the team not even a month. Sheets? Nope. Fielder? Not even close.
Ryan Braun? Yes, he is the only one I envision as the leader of this team. Hell, he is showing better leadership than Ned Yost. He is speaking up and starting to call on players to perform. What the hell is Yost doing? There are no repricussions when playing for Yost, unless you're a mid-reliever (Mitch Stetter). Otherwise you will have ample amount of time(s) to screw up and still continue to play. Look no further than Geoff Jenkins in 2006.
How about Melvin? He's a genious. I love this GM. He is one of the best....however he has yet to put Ned on the hot seat. Instead, he's worried about this?!?!?!?
