Speaking after the conclusion of the Brewers-Cubs series on Sunday, Braun said that the Cubs pitchers "threw the ball a lot better than our starters did."
Braun also said, "We're at the point right now where it would be important for us to go out there and acquire somebody."
Melvin didn't take too kindly to Braun's comments regardless of whether he's right or wrong.
"It was inappropriate for him to say what he said, and I'm not happy about it," Melvin told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Monday.
"To make the statements he made and also get on his teammates like that, it was irresponsible on his part. It just ticked me off."
I couldn't agree with Melvin more. If you have a problem with someone, anyone, everyone on your team, tell them - not the media.
The Brewers are currently one game behind division-leading St. Louis and one game ahead of the Cubs.
Currently, the Brewers are ranked 24th on majors in team ERA (4.47).
