by Kyle Lobner on Jul 1, 2011 12:00 PM CDT in Conversation Starters

The Brewers are coming off of a pretty weird 3-3 week, having swept the Twins and been swept by the Yankees. Here are our nominees for Brewer of the Week:

Ryan Braun had a hit in every game this week, extending his hitting streak to a career high 19 games. He had three hits on Wednesday and Thursday and has a .476/.500/.714 line this week.

Yovani Gallardo held the Twins to a run on six hits on Saturday. walking three and striking out six.

Corey Hart had five hits (three extra base hits) and five walks this week, and his three walks on Saturday against the Twins tied a career high. He also homered in that game. All told he hit .250/.400/.500 this week.

Kameron Loe pitched three innings and did not allow a baserunner this week while striking out four. He hasn't allowed a hit since June 15, a streak of five innings.

Jonathan Lucroy made the most of his four starts this week, picking up multiple hits in three games and a single in the other. His batting line for this week is .538/.571/.846.

As good as braun has been, my vote went to the waiter

Jean-Luc!

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Its weird that even though Lucroy was better this week, way more people voted Braun

"If we want to sign a Type A free agent, we would lose a second-round pick, but we don't have a way to get picks back. Our whole Draft process needs to be redone."

Probably because

Lucroy only played in 4 games, while Braun played in all 6.

I mainly voted for Braun

because he kept up the streak.

Did anyone else notice this?

When I checked the site earlier today and voted, Braun was running away with it, with Lucroy in second and everyone else behind. Now, I check it after the Brewers game, and all of a sudden, Gallardo is leading? He only had a vote or two before and Braun had 60-70 already. How could that change so fast?

That is weird.

Braun had a solid lead and Gallardo was in a distant third. I sense shenanigans.

We few, we happy few, we band of Brewers.

I'm thinking whoever decided to have fun with the tracking poll continued his fun here.
