Why is Ryan Braun so hated?
OldSchoolSnapper replied to BuckyBrewer61's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It has, for the most part. You'll always get some people who can't let go, but Braun is beloved at Miller Park and hated everywhere else. That's just how it usually ends up for these guys. -
Why is Ryan Braun so hated?
OldSchoolSnapper replied to BuckyBrewer61's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The fact is we are just dudes who make a judgement based on what we see via media. Ryan Braun could either be a great guy or a terrible guy, anybody here stating either as cold fact is just delusional. People lie every day. What Braun did was cover one lie with another, and another and another. The guy was lying to Aaron Rodgers. My guess as to what happened is that Braun isn't a regular user, he got frustrated with injuries, knew it was a bad thing to do, did it, and then could not deal with the hit to his reputation. He was going to protect that rep at all costs. Once he was in deep, he "had" to keep running with more lies. He couldn't imagine his parents, his friends, etc., seeing him as another roided baseball player. He justified it in his head. If Ryan Braun has been a saint otherwise in his life, I don't think this thing makes him a bad person. But I have no idea if that's the case. Guy could be a jerk. My personal stance is that I don't waste any energy hating or booing a player for taking drugs or doing stuff off the field. I boo Jeff Suppan. I like to keep it within the confines of the game being played. It's too easy to be made a fool taking a moral position on a guy you don't know from Adam. As an aside, the collector shouldn't be discussed anymore. IMO, that was the most despicable thing Braun did. I know those two met for dinner after this entire thing was over, and he's made peace with Braun. If that's good enough for him, I'm done thinking about it. -
I enjoy Uke. I just said he's bad at play by play. He is and always has been.
-
We are good. We're going to have stretches of ugly baseball and losing, but we've got a damn good team. It's going to be a fun season to be a fan.
-
It's obnoxiously early to say something this ridiculous but this offense is giving me hope that we can score with 2 out and nobody on. The inning isn't over after the first out. I haven't felt like that in a long time.
-
My opinion on Uke is that's he has always been a terrible play by play guy. Awful. Back in the pre cell phone days I could flip him on and wait 30 minutes for the score. He's a comedian who likes baseball and has amazing stories to tell. I only listen for the stories. Today it's irrelevant because my phone can tell me the rest. Side note: I listen at home, not while driving.
-
Much Ado about nothing. The way Braun reacted initially it could have easily appeared to be K. I listen to Uke every night because I don't have cable. I stream and play the radio audio, he's fine. He was actually never very good at any age at game updates as he never tells the score or situation. But that's not why he is what he is, he's a storyteller and he's still sharp as ever.
-
Uecker's call of Braun's homer in 2008 to get take a 3-1 lead over the Cubs. You can hear him choking up. And Uecker's call of Gomez scoring the winning run in 2011 in Game 5 of the NLDS. Both still in my head clearly.
-
Braun definitely let some fans have it after he hit that one.
-
Stayed up to watch the 9th for the hell of it..
-
God I love having these two guys. I am so happy we get to enjoy watching them all season.

I'm guessing it's a cesspool because the quality of the boards has eroded a lot over the last few years. I think anyone here long enough can attest to that. It's not getting better. Listen man, I don't post here a ton but I've been here for years. But you could take'r easy in the game threads. You're living on every pitch and it's game 2. It's exhausting and frankly a little annoying. The part you bolded also didn't make any sense. I didn't bold any part. Also I been here since about 2003, so ya I been here awhile but joined last year. I live on every pitch, every inning, every game, don't know what to tell ya. I am a hardcore fan. I do the same with every play in a packer game or bucks game. Sorry, I try to be civil. Usually I react, not instigate. I get it, it's just that we got 162 of these and I'm concerned about your blood pressure

Amazing ground ball from Jennings. Extend him now through 2030.

This is the #4 when the staff is at full strength. It's possibly the #5. It definitely isn't the #2.

POTG: HE-MAN CHOI! I am going to make that a thing.
-
HE-MAN CHOI!
-
Can we just watch the rest here? This thread is now a pissing match.
-
It's not really ridiculous. It's about what you expect after a blown save. At this point just lose, we don't need the bullpen to go 14 innings on day one.
-
It's one game guys. I know, it was an annoying game. But Knebel could also be completely fine.
-
Pina is a stud
-
Any closer is always a regression candidate.
-
Resist...reactionary...comments.
-
Just get the K. Ignore the runner.
-
It's seconds before Game 1 but man do I love our lineup.
