Brewers (Woodruff) vs Diamondbacks (Kelly): 7/4/26, 8:40pm

[adambr2]

Yoho has been up and down since he came up. 

But I’m sorry, he is better than Kuhnel ever will be again and has a higher ceiling than Kuhnel ever has. 

[yourout]

Got to challenge that.

[adambr2]

Jackson come on man. That first pitch wasn’t close. Challenge.

This is my thing, I know there some question about if his stuff translates.    The "4A" worry.  But he was so dominant in the minors that Im hilding out that his struggles are just a small sample size issue.

[yourout]

Wonder if this will be another vulture job.

If someone gives me 22 million dollars I don’t need a financial advisor. Just a brain. 

Yeah, unless you’re an expert on tax avoidance strategies and passive income and growth, you’ll need a financial planner. 22 million pre-tax isn’t about making day trades on Fidelity, and paying off the credit card bill every month

It probably would not have been spent and it’s just not that big of a deal to the organization.

That line of thinking still doesnt jive for me when as an organization they understandably nickel and dime guys in arby and as they jack up ticket prices especially over the last 3-4 years.

I think they care about 22 mil. They coveted the draft pick more and thought they could get it maybe easily with Woody going elsewhere for a 2 or 3 year contract.

I’ve got a bachelors degree in Accounting, have given personal finance classes and I’m not looking to be affluent, just live low and be a minimalist. I’ll be fine.

He’s so good in the minors I think his barrier to doing well in the majors might be mental.

Hope he gets another win!

[adambr2]

Disappointing night for Vaughn. Losing when we are outhitting them 10 to 2 is gross. 

[yourout]

Anyone in here been to Chase Field for a game?

If So how was the experience?

[RobertCrawley]

He’s ok but he’s no Bob KozlowskI

Feels like management likes him...maybe a lot. And Murphy is at the other end of the spectrum....similar to his feelings for Tyler Black. Opposite Murph's feelings to Blake Perkins.

Cool. It could not be more apples and oranges between a guy with a 4 year accounting degree, presumably working,  trying to “live low and not be affluent”, and a man in his early 30s with tens of millions of dollars while his main path for generating income seemingly closing. 

[RobertCrawley]

Good job, Yoho. 

[edfunderburk]

Yoho for Kuhnel is a noticeable upgrade

Good job, Yoho. 

Yep. Probably his best appearance as a brewer

For years I would go to Fan services behind plate and not put two and two together that that was Bob.  It would more be like that guy looks familiar.. where else have I seen him?

Very sterile. Kinda dark. Very nice staff though.

The ballpark itself is fine, modern, if not a bit sterile and generic, in a good kind of way. Reminded me a bit of Miller Park actually.

The fans were what you'd expect from a recent-ish expansion franchise, a good core group of supporters but not the generational type of fandom you'd see in other fanbases.

Or just hire an expert and live happily ever after.

Two years ago, We were there for all three games. It was OK.  I do like how they have a lot of the pitching and hitting stats as far as speed and exit velocity posted around the park. The fans are very polite and are involved in the game as well.

we sat in the lower bowl for all of the games. We were told not to sit up in the upper deck because the air-conditioning doesn’t work as well up there.

I'm glad I went

Okay? I don’t know why this is worth arguing to you, but my point is simply that if Woodruff has enough of a head on his shoulder to not try to be flashy and just stick to boring high quality index funds and bonds, 22 million dollars is plenty.

If he wants to get a financial advisor to organize that for him so he doesn’t have to worry about it, that’s none of my business. Probably worth the price.
