Clock is ticking running out of time approaching fast if someone or something doesn't change for RR and the Crew.
13th Hour Looming Ahead

Wonderful timing for this thread, since the Brewers exercised Roenicke's 2016 option exactly one month ago. Would be a typical Brewer move to extend a guy one month and then turn around and fire him the next, and be a perfect illustration that the franchise's problems go higher (possibly much higher) than the field manager.
The White House?
If the Crew fires RR with a year left, note them as the 1,455,625,952 team to do this.
Technically Joe Madden is on the clock....
Going back to around the 4th of July last year this team is something like 33-57. That a winning percentage of like .370
Awful
As bad as the starting pitching has been i would like to know what their offensive statistics have been over that timeframe. You won't win many game scoring 2 or 3 runs a game unless you have the Braves staff from the mid 90s which they do not.

I think this next series is crucial for him and the Brewers. It's not just that they're 2-10. It is how they got there and how it has apparently carried over from last year. Nobody on this team wants to step up and make it work.
Sure, maybe they rebound...but there will be lingering doubt for a long, long time. That choke job last season cast a big dark shadow.
They will rebound. They will have some wins around the time of the trade deadline so a move won't be made. They will also win 7 of 10 to end the year to go from the 5th pick to the 15th pick.
And what an illustrious history it is.....just think of how many utterly non critical, unimportant, boring and meaningless September games Bob Uecker has had to see, it boggles the mind. Looks like 20 more this year.
I don't think this is Roenicke's fault. There is a deterioration in the talent base. Brains your $100M player and he's no better than a journeyman now. Might be time to blow up and rebuild. Had a nice run. It's over.
None of its RR fault, OK, let's just keep doing this ... About 4/ 4.5 months and counting ...
Fun times, fun times.
Fun times, fun times.
Meaningless September games? How anti meaningless games past Memorial Day? There have been a lot or seasons like that. Unless they turn things around in dramatic fashion this is looking like one of those seasons.
The worst thing they can do is win enough games to give us hope where they don't trade some guys or don't get a top pick. That's such a Brewers thing. If you are going to suck get it right.

#Dodgers have as many HR in past 4 PA as #Brewers have all season (3).

Well now, that leads us to Doug Melvin...regarded as one of the better GMs in MLB. Over the last few years I have piped in about Melvin and most of the time it hasn't been positive.
But leaving him out of this, I am inclined to lay this on RR. It appears very apparent that RR lost this team somewhere for some reason last year. Despite their strong finish in spring training, they have picked up right where they left off. There is too much talent on this team to be 2-10...especially how they are playing and losing.
Who gives a crap about RR, get rid of him and start the sale everyone knows has to happen.
Have Counsel get his arse in the dugout for the rest of this year
Only thing is I think I'd give Melvin the hammer first and let Gord Ash handle the fire sale to get the minors restocked.

Give Melvin his Gold Watch, tell him to not let the door hit him in the are and tell him to stay on the plane tonight, we will send his office belongings in the mail.
Wonder what Jim Gantner is up to these days...
That changes thing last fall by Mark A is working. If the plan was implosion to justify house cleaning in season vs out of season which we did not do last winter we are well on our way.
Keep up the great work Brew Crew.
God, I sure hope the salmon bite early and often this season.
I did not like at all the way Melvin and Mark handled the end of last season. And it is beginning to show their collective decisions were questionable at best. Question is: whose idea was it to let the dust settle for cooler decision-making? If Melvin convinced Mark to hang onto RR one more season, then...
But on a positive note, I hope for the sake of everyone involved the Brewers can turn it around on this homestand, otherwise, it is probably "Sayonara" Ron and maybe Doug too.
I don't believe that for a second- Attanasio is not going to fire Mevin. It is unlikely they're going to fire Roenicke. If the Angels aren't going to fire Scocia, i don't think Roenicke goes anywhere either.
You do realize one guy has a WS title and a much better winning percentage, right? It ain't RR
The 13th loss is only two games a way.
You know what is sad, I find myself rooting against a win so a change can be made and the Brewers can move on in a new and better direction...hopefully.
Lucroy now hurt the season from hell continues
No one could offer any timetable for Jonathan Lucroy's recovery from a broken big toe. @injuryexpert?
— Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) April 21, 2015Finances would not necessarily preclude #Brewers from firing Roenicke, even though team guaranteed option for 2016 on March 19. Roenicke…

June 28th, 2014 the Milwaukee Brewers were 51-32, in 6th 1st place and had a 6.5 game lead in the NL Central. (edit, as always I'm a dumbass)
Since that day the Milwaukee Brewers have played 93 games, with a record of 33-60, a winning percentage of .354.
This isn't a slow start. This isn't a slump. This is what the Brewers are.
