The Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach has left to become the Cubs new manager. Dale Sveum will lead the Chicago Cubs next year.

“…according to the Milwaukee Brewers media guide, he goes by the nickname of ‘Nuts.’…

Sveum was said to be a calming influence in the Brewers’ clubhouse when he was suddenly asked to replace good friend Ned Yost in 2008 with 12 games left in a September that was in full collapse mode…

The Brewers went 6-5 over those first 11 games and faced the Cubs in Milwaukee on the last day of the season, tied with the New York Mets for the wild-card lead.

Sveum left a simple message scrawled on the clubhouse board, ‘‘Give ’em hell’’ — a phrase his late father liked to use and one that’s part of a tattoo on his arm.

The Brewers then beat the Cubs to clinch their first playoff berth since 1982.”

Managing well during collapse mode will come in handy as Cubs manager. Welcome to Illinois Dale. Give ‘em hell.
