    Maybe, but I think if the plan was to use him as suggested, they would not have included him on the roster at all. As polarizing as he is at the moment, I believe he was put on the roster because of the juice in that arm and the potential to be very effective. I fully expect to see him in at least a medium-leverage situation, and a lot of collective rage about it, but it's October, the time to be sheepish is over. Everyone knows that he can do things the other guys can't when he's really going.

    It's like $200 to sit in the terrace today. That's gift wrapping it to opposing fans? People pay 2.5x that to watch the Packers. I am not sure you know what a "rich" person is. The bold part can't be serious.
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    Short hook. But IMO if they win a championship, he's going to have to contribute meaningfully.
  4. OldSchoolSnapper
    Ideal use to me is they jump out to an early lead and he pitches the 5th and 6th with a 3-0 lead or something. Has a good outing, builds some confidence.

    Tomorrow morning. Miz made it, not a big surprise. I think you have to roll the dice with raw talent that has shown it can be effective.

    This is the concept that Rick and his buddies don't seem to grasp. If you are a SSH you are overpaying a ton for regular season tickets. Especially when the team is losing games. Somebody doing that for 20 years is losing their shirt. And the beauty of that, those same posters will happily use the secondary market to pay UNDER face value - that's totally ok because it benefits them. I personally think if you buy a ticket under face, you should Venmo the seller the amount to make sure he breaks even. Sound stupid, doesn't it? They accept NONE of the risk of being a SSH but expect an equal opportunity to be in the park for playoff games at face value. That's insane. Anyone who believes that can pound sand. Some of these people have forked out 6-figure sums of money to the Brewers including seasons they won 60 games. They can make a couple hundred dollars on a playoff game. It's fine. Everyone will be OK.

    1. Please show me the berating. 2. Silly isn't an insult. In fact I would say repeatedly calling people sell outs is far more insulting. 3. I don't have any tickets.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah I'm good. Facebook marketplace is a hard pass, ever tried to sell anything on there? About 40 "is this available messages?" and then people wanting to pay cash and meet up outside a Walmart 15 minutes away. Stubhub isn't the only way, it is the fastest and safest, and expecting anybody to not use them due to this cause is incredibly silly. And who is to say the person you sold to "at face" isn't just putting them on SH for 2x? I think the more rational option is accepting that this is a sporting event and people from the other team are going to be there. A handful of guys selling to their boss isn't going to change that.

    I agree. If you're the Brewers you're always on house money. Nobody expects much.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    Nope. The main reason would be Brewers fans deciding they don't really want to go. This state has no problems packing Camp Randall to watch a terrible Badgers team, or the Packers every Sunday for years at higher prices even when they're crappy too. $150-200 isn't keeping Brewers fans away. Stop acting like these games are $5k a seat.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't have any tickets. For like the 5th time.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    Given your obsession with resale of tickets you should know that the price will peak tonight because the opponent was made official and the resellers are trying to capitalize on FOMO and trigger happy people who don't like to wait. The crazy-high priced ones won't sell and will drop to near face value as game time approaches. Game 1 might stay highish because it's a Saturday. Both clubs are recently successful with jaded fan bases that aren't that excited for the first real round of the playoffs. You can go to this game for less than $200 if you want to. The purchase power of someone in Chicago is a lame excuse if our stadium gets overrun. The main reason will be that Brewers fans lacked interest. That's on them.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    No you don't? You keep dodging this question. How is one supposed to know who bought the tickets? That is not how the resale sites work. You don't have any control over who buys. Most people don't have bunch of acquaintances lined up trying to buy tickets. What if I have 3 friends interested and they all offer me $25? You really expect people to sell to friends at a loss because why exactly? To keep "true fans" there? 😂 When I tried to sell tickets for the Braves series to coworkers at face, I didn't get a single reply of interest. It's a sporting event brother, not a Klan meeting. It's really not that serious if a few thousand FIBs show up.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    Weak excuse. The games are being gouged like crazy right now and the price will drop a ton by the weekend. And even with that they are the price of a Packers game. If people want to go, they'll be there.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think people will be surprised by these games. There is a big risk in selling tickets purchased at presales. I anticipate the Cubs will have a presence, I think it will be less pronounced than a regular season game due to cost and the lack of tickets available for direct purchase once the opponent was known. Sure there will be some resale, but I think these will all be very pro-Brewers crowds.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    Why can't Brewers fans buy the tickets? They don't want to go as much?
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    It's a baseball game. It's not that serious to lose and it's awesome if you win against your biggest rival. I always wanted it to be the Cubs. Such a greater potential for entertainment than San Diego. Have a little faith in the boys.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    We had the best record in baseball and set our franchise record for wins in the first season without Bob Uecker. We were always going to end up playing, and beating, the Cubs.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    That's all fair but we have had 3 kicks blocked since the finale of last season. They aren't the random event they should be.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    Fortunately for them, what they look like in September really doesn't mean a whole lot. They have thrown two games away, that's not good. Last year's champion looked very bad right now as well. I am very uninspired by this team, but football has always been about who's peaking at the end. It would be nice to go into the playoffs from a seed of strength for once, but we've blown that too, so, whatever.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    It's moot if we block on a PAT. Hell, he can even kick it wide and it's moot. We have 2 wins instead of 4 because we can't block on kicks. That's insane, and all too familiar.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    The most maddening thing about it all is that the path to victory allowed them to play both sides of this. Run the ball. You either keep gashing them, or you get stopped but the clock is running. Dallas had no timeouts. If I'm a Cowboys fan I'm relieved the moment we decide to throw the ball for some reason. We played right into their hands. The last 90 seconds were coached by a coward.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yes, but null and void with a TD, which they looked totally primed to score had they just kept ramming Wilson down their throat. Or at least throw the ball forward. I was 90% confident we were going to win that game after Wilson's last rush. They had PLENTY of time to keep running. If you fail, fine, the clock is moving.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    He was a consistent dope throughout this game and prior when it comes to in-game decisions, so he doesn't get any slack. The defense sucks too. I personally don't get the Hafley love affair; they didn't stop any of the playoff teams they played last year. Arguably the playoff game was their best performance though. I think he's fine, don't think he's some guru. I still don't pin the last play on Love. Watch it back. Nobody is hustling to the line. They were moving like they were going to spike the ball, which is what I thought they were doing. I respect he had the cajones to toss it into the end zone and give someone a chance. At least somebody wearing green wanted to win the game. Even that 3rd down play, there was enough time to get that off with anybody moving quickly.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    The coin toss and choice to defer worked to perfection. We were in position to win the game with a TD that we had plenty of time to score and were driving with relative ease. Why he loitered with about 1:40 left, as if he had to worry about Dallas answering with a TD of their own, is beyond comprehension. It legitimately looked like he did not know the rules, which I guess we'll never know if that was the case.
