Can someone tell me what the Brewers management was thinking? I know you're struggling and you're basically giving away the wild card spot by constantly losing. But firing Ned Yost with only a couple of weeks left in the season? When you're tied for the wild card, no less. Tell me how that move will benefit the Brewers in any way.
They're about to begin their biggest series of the season at Wrigley and will also host the Cubs at Miller Park to close the season. This team does not have the experience down the stretch to come together at the end of the season under an interim manager. An interim manager who was also under consideration to be fired. The only thing I can think of is they know they're finished and need to make a change. But why have that attitude when you still are tied for the wild card?
This team already was in a significant amount of trouble considering the best team both the Phillies and the Astros play the rest of the season are the Marlins (with the exception of 1 final game against the Cubs for Hou when the Cubs will have clinched the Central already). But now Milwaukee has to face a Cubs team that is clearly back on track without their manager who they have been very accustomed to playing under for the last 4 seasons.
This team is done. It'll shock me if they find a way to overcome this adversity and get into the postseason. When they acquired Sabathia they appeared to be a shoe-in to at least make the playoffs. But now a huge slump has cost them their manager and it appears their season. I just don't see it happening for the Brewers now.

I totally agree.....now that the Brewers just lost to the Cubs, they fell .5 games behind the Mets for the wild card. This was a team just a couple weeks ago that was 3 games behind the Cubs for the division and like 6 games up on the wildcard. Now they are 9 games behind the Cubs...WOW
It's all coming undone. Sabathia loses. Sheets gets hurt. What an incredible -- and mostly avoidable -- unraveling.
After today I think any glimmer of hope they had to turn it around went down the drain...They are done...That one had to be tough to take because they had it wrapped up!
Post-Yost I don't think the Brewers are getting the results they were wishing would come from this coaching shake up. For a team that was building up for an all or nothing attempt at the post season they now seem to be crumbling right before our eyes.
I just wanted to say....SEE YOU IN THE PLAYOFFS.
