  1. I had a bad feeling that insurance run would come into play.
  2. Are there any other racing XXX that are actually good? I guess the bar is pretty low for the mid-inning entertainment, but it seems like most of them just kind of exist for the sake of existing.

  4. 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.
  5. XBH from our sluggers Mitchell and Hamilton.
  6. In his time as a Brewers coach, has Daniel Vogelbach ever been observed wearing his hat fully on his head?
  7. It must be infuriating to other teams to give up two runs from two walks and a hit to one of the worst regular hitters in the Major League.
  8. Is Bobby Witt, Jr. cooked or are we just that good?
  9. As a slightly younger fan, I agree with you. Colored pants should stay in the history books unless the team is really going for a tracksuit look. I'll also be a stickler and insist the home jersey has the club's nickname written in block letters over white or pinstripes, and the road uniform in gray or a color with the city name written in script. The alternative with the dark blue and script is certainly a sharp look and I can see not wanting to dilute that, but something just doesn't look right with "Milwaukee" in block letters, just like how it looked weird to have "Brewers" in the script in the 2000s.
  10. Silver Lining is that we forced Greg to use his best reliever in the fourth inning.
  11. I have a hard time convincing myself Shoeless Joe should be admitted, he admitted to a grand jury he threw the games and married a 15 year old. Maybe he's objectively less of a terrible human being than Pete Rose but it seems like the arguments for his admission are more baseball lore than anything at this point.
  12. I'd love to see a metric like average revenue per user (ARPU) that might give some nuance to the public attendance numbers. We already know that our TV revenue is among the lowest, but my guess is that the revenue per fan or ticket sale is pretty low as well. My guess is that the biggest factor is that Milwaukee is well below other small markets like KC or MSP in measures like GDP https://www.statista.com/statistics/248083/real-gross-domestic-product-gdp-of-the-united-states-by-metropolitan-area/, there's simply less money around to spend, both by individuals and businesses. Fans of the Marlins, Mariners, and Twins have more of a right to be outraged, owners sitting on goldmines who are either pocketing the profits or too incompetent to convert the opportunity to revenue. Twins in particular, who had a history of success, a loyal fanbase, yet had a billionaire owner threatening to have the team contracted to get a free stadium.
