They players play like crap...Errors...Swinging at balls that are not in the strike zone...Pitchers that cant pitch...Oh but its the managers fault?

Even a HOF manager isn't going to survive an under-performing team. Managers don't impact the game as much as they are given credit for or get blamed for but they know when they take the job they're the first to be thrown overboard. Good luck Ron. Bring on Craig Counsell!

It's not just about this April. He is also being saddled with the blame from last season's big swoon. Injuries and combined bad play have hurt the beginning here, but I thought it was inevitable.

The fun part might be the rebuild and trades this summer. Garza and Loshe have value. Someone might want Aramis for the stretch, and I saw Buster Olney suggest that they should move Segura.

All I require they keep are Gomez and Lucroy. They probably CAN'T move Braun and Khris Davis still needs to reach his potential or they'd be trading too early. My guess is someone could use K-Rod or Will Smith, although I'd like to get something decent for Smith.

Funny reaction to MLB.com by Roenicke:

Ron Roenicke, who was fired by the Brewers Sunday night, told MLB. com: "I told [general manager] Doug [Melvin] I wished it would have happened a week ago. I would have understood it better then."

Welcome back Craig Counsell to the Brewers family

Bryan Price in Cincy is the next MGR to be shown the door......

I want to say good luck to the Brewers but they're in the same division with the Reds so.....

I guess if u don't have the talent u won't win but I've watched a lot of giants games and it seems like Bruce Bochy is on a different level of most other managers

You must have missed his tenure in SD.

I'm sorry to see him go, as for what little I know of the guy I liked him. Best of luck wherever he lands.

Roenicke seems like a good guy but he was a dead man walking since the collapse down the stretch last season. The clubhouse had pretty clearly tuned him out. They should've cleaned house at the end of last season. The funny part is that they've actually played a little better baseball this last week or so. Maybe Counsell is jumping in at an opportune time and will catch lightning in a bottle like the last Milwaukee native that came in as a mid-season managerial replacement, the legendary Harvey Kuenn. If not, I'm all for dismantling this group for prospects.

Wow even beating the 2nd place Cubs 2 out of 3 games didn't help keeping his job.......this is a flicked sport.

I'm pretty sure the ink on Counsell's contract was plenty dry last week, so RR was probably a lame-duck manager this weekend. This decision was made 2 weeks ago and was based mostly on last year. They could have swept with 3 perfect games and 15 runs each; it wouldn't have mattered.

They can put in Harvey Kuenn, Connie Mack, or Casey Stangel but the Brewers are playing stupid baseball so it doesnt matter who the hell the manager is right now
