The home state favorite and winningest coach in Brewers history is headed for an exit if they don't win the NL Central. Every year Counsell has managed the Brewers, there has been a 'slump.' It usually happens mid-season where the Brewers go on a losing streak. This year, August has been the downfall and out of first place. I hear it all the time, "the season is not a race, it's a marathon"; but if your team keeps pulling a hamstring in this marathon, you aren't going to win the World Series. This is unacceptable. For eight years, Counsell has managed some good players and has had success in getting to the playoffs, but the losing streaks and inconsistent managing year after year is what makes him a mediocre manager. Counsell, win the central or say goodbye.
