Poll: Grading the performance of Craig Counsell and David Stearns so far in 2022

It’s been a rough season for Counsell and Stearns. How would you grade their season, and should they remain?

MLB: NLDS-Colorado Rockies at Milwaukee Brewers Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports

After last night’s collapse by the Brewers, discussion on the tenure of manager Craig Counsell reached a critical point. Some fans were angry about Counsell’s decisions in the game, though some fans still defended Counsell. This hasn’t been limited to just last night’s game, though. Since the trade deadline, and the Brewers decline in August and the start of September, the discussion has been building. It’s also been building for president David Stearns, whose trade deadline moves did not generate much confidence. While the Brewers have made four straight postseason appearances, they have also had three straight exits after one series.

With less than a month to go in the season, the Brewers are 8.5 games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central race and 3 games back of both the Phillies and Padres for two of the three Wild Card spots. There are 27 games remaining in the 2022 season. There’s plenty of time for the standings to change, but let’s take a look at where confidence is in the Brewers management right now. How would you grade their performance at this moment in the season? Also, do you think they should remain after this season is done?
