Man. This is a mystery up there with big foot and lock ness. I will never understand why you choose to play a bad player in place of a decent one. Probably has to do with how he handles the pitchers. It’s like we haven’t covered this in numerous IGTs.

Well, I woke up to about an inch of snow in the Northwoods. 'Tis the season! My parents still live up in Superior and they are getting some snow. Ish, ish.. ish!

All sold, sorry guys. Went to sleep and woke up with a zillion messages. Good luck!

Has to be, right?

Barely slept. It’s like Christmas morning at age 8.

Make me an offer you think is fair. The terrace level is row 1 of 436.

I’m good with it.

Extend the lead guys. We need it.

You didn’t think this team, this group of guys, would lay down didnya? Let’s goooooooooo!!!!

Game two will basically be free after we smoke them 15-0 in game one.

I sold my WIS-ILL game tickets last week before the big drop this week. Got $70 per ticket rather than the $25 going rate this week.

Trying to get rich selling Brewers tickets doesn't sound like a very good plan. Probably wouldn't quit the ole day job over it.

Plus over $30 in fees so about $100 a ticket if you're looking to go to the game tonight.

Yeah, this is all really accurate. Mine always sell immediately after wins. Thanks guys. Appreciate the information. Hopefully we will have a nice big lead tomorrow night and I'll sell them as I'm enjoy a game six win.

I just ditched my SRO only tickets for tomorrow night and picked up solid Terrace level tickets. Worth paying $20 extra dollars. Beside that, I was able to secure 200 level tickets online to game seven so I can ditch the SRO tickets at a decent profit come Saturday.

I would gladly give PG an extension. If he would accept scratching his deal he has and just take a 5 year, $110M contract after we traded for him, that would take him through his 31-35 years of age. He's been a healthy guy and he's put up numbers in just about every season. What I can't get behind is paying Votto into his early 40's so that makes it completely different for me.

Full season you can, partial season you can’t for obvious reasons. Okay, thanks. I missed that part obviously.

I guess I don't understand why if someone has seasons tickets, that they wouldn't be offered those same tickets in the post season? Why would they move?

Or maybe you've been waiting for a few numbers to justify your loyalty to him? That can't really be proved either way, even if Braun (or Granderson, for that matter) has a great day tomorrow. It's about what the evidence supports, not about being able to predict what's going to happen in any given game. It's not a hot take. Granderson is comparable to Braun in all ways, including peak WAR, career WAR, and WAR the last 2 years. It's okay to say you prefer Braun, but it's excessively loyal to say it's not even close or mock the very idea of preferring Granderson. And to be clear, I'm not mocking the idea of having Braun out there; I just think Granderson deserves some of his pa's. Yes, Braun was hot to end the year. How long have his hot streaks lasted the last few years? They're no better than what any typical respectable corner outfielder like Braun or Santana or Granderson is going to have on occasion. Have you considered the info I gave about how many pitches he's taken per at-bat compared to Yelich and Granderson? Do you know why OBP is generally regarded as being nearly twice as important as slugging? That's in part because of all the intangible, indirect benefits of drawing walks, like taking lots of pitches, in addition to the obvious fact that it's more important to protect outs than aggressively seek hits. Braun's 1 walk in 35 plate appearances is a big problem in playoff baseball, and he's averaging less than 3 pitches per plate appearance this series. By citing a few hard-hit balls, you are playing right into the batting average/slugging fallacy by rewarding and praising players who go for theirs instead of doing what's best for the team at the expense of personal glory. I like this article for a little more about the value of guys like Yelich and Cain vs. guys like Shaw, Moustakas, and Braun: https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2015/9/18/9329763/separate-but-not-quite-equal-why-ops-is-a-bad-statistic I'll consider something you post when you do towards anyone on this site. You don't own a thing. Until then, just skim through you and move along.

Braun smoked Buehler. Doubled in his first at bat to give us a 1-0 lead in game #3. Wrong. Again. This is just sour grapes to those calling you out. The "only player to show up in both series" with an OPS under .700 is blatantly a pro-Braun bias. He has not been good. Case in point right here; one hard-hit double with a .558 OPS in the series proves me wrong? Okay. You are reaching to support a strong pro-Braun bias. Naw. Considering what the lineup has produced, Braun has show up. It's been tough sledding for just about everyone but he has had a big hit or two. He has 3 RBI's in a series where we aren't scoring any runs. Could he do better? Sure could. But you're ridiculous hot takes have gotten old to me so I responded. Braun was red hot to end the season as well. I'm sure you've been waiting for a few numbers to try to make a case to get him back to the bench.

Votto still has six more years on his contract and will be getting paid $25M a year. That is not at all what I wanted in my original post. I do love me some Votto though.

Braun smoked Buehler. Doubled in his first at bat to give us a 1-0 lead in game #3. Wrong. Again. This is just sour grapes to those calling you out.

Booing is ridiculous in about 99% of cases. But I wouldn’t put it past the Brewer faithful. Grew up thinking Wisconsin fan bases were a lot different than most and I’ve been wrong on that many times over.

Thanks for doing the work for me guys. Saves me some time. It won’t mayter anyways because he won’t budge off his point. He’s been dead wrong numerous of times and never takes an ounce of it. Moving on! Aguilar will start but shouldn’t. Braun should play 1B to get Santana in the lineup and let this thing really come full circle this season.

It wouldn't shock me. But it did surprise me to see them basically give him a higher up role with a "new" GM. I mean he butchered the last few drafts after nailing them to start his time in GB so like I said, it wouldn't shock me.
