MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers and manager Craig Counsell announced a three-year contract extension through the 2020 season Friday.The 46-year-old Counsell just finished his first full season as skipper. He has a 134-165 record since taking over in May 2015 for the fired Ron Roenicke. The rebuilding Brewers finished 73-89 this past season, a five-win improvement from 2015.A former infielder, Counsell played 16 years in the majors, including six seasons over two different stints with the Brewers.Counsell grew up in the Milwaukee area. His father, John, worked in the Brewers front office in the 1980s.The younger Counsell then joined Milwaukees front office in 2012 as a special assistant to former GM Doug Melvin before moving into the dugout three years later.Craig has been a Brewer in the truest sense and is as much a Brewer in here as anyone, said David Stearns, who just finished his first full season as general manager. Craig understands the passion of this fan base.Counsell said he was determined to see the Brewers play meaningful baseball in October. The NL Central figures to be competitive for years to come, especially with the World Series champion Chicago Cubs atop the division.This is really the only place I want to part of October baseball. In 2015 we knew there was going to be some pain going through this, Counsell said. Were taking the right steps, good steps and now I feel like I will see it for sure. Wesley Matthews Jersey .

Brisbane Lions coach Justin Leppitsch has bemoaned the shifting goalposts on his AFL coaching future as he confronts possible unemployment.The three-time premiership winner with Brisbane has led the club for three years and a total of just 14 wins.The Lions bottomed out in 2016 with three victories, avoiding the wooden spoon by half a percentage point, and recording the worst season in the merged clubs 20-year history.Leppitsch said his assessment of the season was what could go wrong did go wrong including an unprecedented injury run.But he maintains it would be unfair, and against the clubs previous word, to assess him purely on his win-loss record.The messaging (from the club) throughout the year has been long-term ... apart from three weeks ago, he said.(My job) has been to introduce and play young talent which were AFL No.1 at ... that coupled with our injury rate doesnt equate to successful seasons.Every moment before (three weeks ago there) hasnt been a win-loss component to me keeping my job but obviously things have shifted.Leppitsch said he would have coached diffeerently with different goals.ddddddddddddIf it was win-loss this year I would have traded the first pick, he said.We actually traded for future picks this year. I wouldnt have done that either.Furthering his case to stay, he pointed to the emergence of first-year players Eric Hipwood, Josh Schache, Ben Keays and Rhys Matheson.I dont think most clubs can say they could do that in one year and its going to be hard for those boys to get a game next year when the likes of (Allen) Christensen and (Dayne) Beams are back, he said.Leppitsch said he wasnt aware if his side claimed the wooden spoon until he was asked a question in the post-match press conference.It might be better for the club if we did (finish last), he said.It doesnt sound good to say that but you can probably do a few more things at the end of the year.No one even thought about it to be perfectly honest ... weve got some bigger picture things to worry about than that as a football club.
