That's been my theory for the past 2 weeks now. There's just no way the Brewers are truly as bad as their record says they are. The Cubs are not better than the Brewers. I'm not sure if they are completely tanking, but it doesn't look like they are giving 100% effort. Segura, Aoki, and Gomez are the only that look like they're playing hard. Braun's been slacking. Lucroy's been slacking. I don't know about Aramis. It wouldn't surprise me if this team started playing better the moment RRR got canned. Brewers might be pulling a 2012 Red Sox on RRR.
