    The Brewers have lost nine of their last 10, but shortstop Jean Segura’s outstanding play during the past week earned him National League Player of the Week honors for the period ending May 12.

    In five games last week, Segura hit an NL-best .500 over 20 at-bats while leading the league in slugging percentage (.950) and on-base percentage (.545).

    translation:  the brewers pitching stinks but they have some guys in the field who can play.

    following up the MVP season with a slightly better season so far ... how often does that happen with MVPs?

    Giambi and Bonds come to mind, albeit with potentially extenuating circumstances.

    Dale Murphy's second MVP year also looks better than his first.

    Frank Thomas in the strike season.

    Last week Jemile Weeks saw 20 pitches in a single inning.

    Braun exceeded normal levels of grit and determination by more than a factor of 20 in that at-bat.

    Barry Larkin was considerably better in 1996 than 1995, and he didn't finish in the Top 10 the second year.

    Cal Ripken's 1984 was better than 1983, at least sabermetrically (and got 1 10th-place vote to show for it).

    Joe Morgan, 1976

    Mickey Cochrane was better in 1929 than 1928, yet didn't receive a single MVP vote!

    Pudge Rodriguez before he got hurt in 2000 was on pace to put up a historically great season for a catcher (when you factor in his defense).

    Quite often, it seems (by WAR, at least):

    Joe DiMaggio's 1948 was better than his 1947
    Yogi Berra's 1956 was better than his 1955 or 1954
    Frank Robinson's 1962 was better than his 1961
    Elston Howard's 1964 was better than his 1963
    Denny McLain's 1969 was better than his 1968
    Steve Garvey's 1975 was better than his 1974
    Don Mattingly's 1986 was better than his 1985
    Roger Clemens' 1987 was better than his 1986

    And I'm sure there's more where these came from.

    for those who think braun is just a bat he is running the bases better than ever and i would state that braun is a defensive plus in left field

    quite the player

    HW -- any ideas what's up with the K-rate this year? It's back to 2008 levels. Anything to worry about there? (By today's standards it's not a major problem at 20%).
