brewcrewball.comMe too, the pitching coaching between Maddox and Johnson wasn't very inspiring, and I was worried about more of the same. In Stearns/Counsell we trust!

Was thinking the same thing when Johnson left, but it didn't take long to see there was more going on in the system. The track record of struggling relief pitchers arriving in Milwaukee only to have their career revived is strong, even if many of them couldn't maintain their success after landing a big deal the following season.
It also goes to show that the Brewers pipeline doesn't get enough credit as we have had many effective pitchers make their major league debut without being included in the top 100, or having a strong of position in the top 100 as they should

Chris Hook has been awesome. I also think going to a 6 man rotation helps too…

We need to back up the brinks truck for Chris hook methinks.

Back up the brinks truck and spend it the army of people making this all work up and down the system. Spending it all on one guy no matter the guy is risky and foolish IMO.
