Brewers' Braun: 'I'm disappointed that I continue to swing the bat so terribly'

The Milwaukee Brewers have dropped nine of their last 10 games and own the worst record in the majors (3-15). 

Armed with the second-lowest scoring offense in the league to go with a rotation that owns the third-highest ERA and it's not hard to see why things are so dismal in South Eastern Wisconsin. 

"We've just been pretty terrible in all facets of the game," outfielder Ryan Braun told Adam McCalvy of MLB.com

It's hard to find a bigger disappointment for the Brewers than Braun to start the season. The five-time All-Star is hitting just .230/.277/.279 with one extra-base hit through his first 17 games. 

"I'm disappointed that I continue to swing the bat so terribly, and in that situation take a pitch that was obviously a borderline pitch," Braun said.

While the results have been poor, the attitude around the clubhouse has not. 

"I think every day that we lose, we're surprised," Braun said. "We show up every day optimistic and hope that's the day we turn it around, and we just haven't found a way to do it yet."
