I agree. Stay the course.

For the most part, the Brewers massively overachieved during the first half. Eric Thames almost singlehandedly kept them afloat during the first month or so (1.276 OPS, .345 with 11 HRs and 19 RBIs in 23 games)  when a lot of other guys started slow. Since them .213-11 HR-23 RBIS in 55 games. Pitchers figured him out and he became Rob Deer instead of steroid-Barry Bonds.

The Cubs have Hendricks/Arrieta/Lester fronting their rotation. We have Jimmy Nelson/Guerra/Anderson/Garza. The Cubs could hardly have played worse if they tried and were only 4 games back.

If someone wants Braun (or even Thames) I'd move them for pitching prospects. We need a lot more good, young pitchers.

 

Who is going to trade for Braun?  His value peaked last year but they didn't pull the trigger.  Not much of a market for an overpaid and busted up injury prone former PED guy. 

This team looks like it's cashed it in and this bullpen flat out sucks.  

Bottom line,  they are more than 1 player away from contending so I would not deal for anyone.  See how they finish up.

Is Knebel's consecutive game strikeout sreak still intact?

 

I think it is. This from last nights recap from MLB.com:

Knebel slammed the door on the Phillies after they plated seven runs over the seventh and eighth innings. The right-hander has compiled six saves and 17 K's over his past 10 appearances to keep a firm grasp on the closer's job in Milwaukee.

Since his record was still intact before the break it must still be ongoing.
