Hours later, the Brewers take a crisp, efficient victory over Anaheim. It didn't have anything to do with what I said. I got their attention - good, bad or indifferent. But the guys just went out and played like they're capable. There are a lot of good things going on here, to be honest with you.
Guys just have to start believing it.
As they enter their 31st year of existence, the Brewers don't have a large throng of believers in their corner. Virtually all of the pre-season publications have picked them to finish last in the National League Central Division. The starting rotation is considered one of the weakest in the game. The farm system ranks at the bottom with just one organizational player, pitcher Ben Sheets, tabbed among Baseball America magazine's annual list of the top 100 prospects in the game. Nobody ever thought I would make it that far.
