Craig Counsell Gets His Respect From His Peers
Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell is one of the best in baseball. According to Baseball America, he is not only ‘one of the best but ‘the best in baseball. In a survey of peers, they named Counsell the best manager in baseball. It makes sense and is not surprising. What Counsell has done throughout the years is truly special. He is on his way to his fourth straight playoff appearance. Counsell is the longest-tenured manager in the National League. And in a division with the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee is the class of the National League.
@tappingthekegsports Not only do the Brewers win games, they win surveys too. ##fy ##foryou ##fyp ##milwaukeebrewers ##brewersbaseball ##thisismycrew ##mlb ##baseball ##brewers ##yp
Counsell knows what he’s doing out there. What this says to me is that every team that faces the Brewers knows what a bitch it is to deal with them. It cannot be fun to match wits with Counsell. There are very rare moments where the Brewers manager costs them a game. Baseball giving him this honor is pretty cool.
It is WILD that Counsell has not won NL Manager of the Year though. Best in baseball yet haven’t done enough to win the best manager in baseball. He might get squeezed out this year with Gabe Kapler having the year he did for the Giants.
