    I don’t disagree, but the lack of internal pitching made that an unlikely sustainable path. It gives flashbacks to the Doug Melvin Brewers. More money to their disposal, but a glaring hole on one side of the ball.
  2. MrTPlush
    Their WS team rotation was ancient. Sure, they had all that young hitting talent, but that pitching staff was a ticking time bomb. In retrospect, it seems they were competitive as long as you would expect in that situation. I don’t know how much we really played into that. Outside of going to Chicago and stealing a division title one year.
  3. MrTPlush
    Certainly Counsell has set the bar low and as much as I like to think Murphy will clear it I don’t think anyone would have predicted Counsell to come up a game short of the WS and then proceed to not win another playoff series again (to date). Hopefully in a week Murphy has a second NLCS trip under his belt.
  4. MrTPlush
    Rays and Guardians are both small market teams. White Sox are arguably also a small market based on their revenues despite being in Chicago.

    Oh my bad, bro. I thought it was Murphy’s 4th year, bro. Point still stands though, bro. Murphy hasn’t done any more than Counsell ever did. Murphy is great, but I don’t know why we have to pretend he has done anything more magical than Counsell did in the postseason for us. Losing a WC and then getting whipped in a NLCS (after narrowly avoiding history after blowing a 2-0 NLDS lead) doesn’t feel ‘looser’. Hopefully, in a week we are celebrating a second NLCS appearance. But as it stands? This isn’t any better than Counsell’s first few postseason appearances after he made the team an annual contender.
  6. MrTPlush
    I mean, if we are being honest, Murphy is no better in the postseason than Counsell ever was. He has two first round bounces and a 4-game belt whoopin’ on his resume.

    Well to make the ALDS they beat a team worse than them. The ALDS is against a team that won their division by a singular game over them. Their only true test that would be an upset is the ALCS. I have a hard time seeing any of the three teams on the other side of the bracket not beating their pitching though. Would be pretty surprising in a 7 game series.

    Padres have a losing record on the road and were a 71-win pace team against teams >.500. A lot of overrating of the Padres and underrating the Cubs going on. If we end up losing to the Padres, a hypothetical series against the Cubs likely wouldn’t have been much better. We are going to have to really disappoint to lose to either team.

    None of the post was a negative take on Yelich. Yelich thinking highly of Braun isn’t dig at Yelich…just proof Braun wasn’t some hated crummy veteran presence.
  10. MrTPlush
    Glad we are getting picked, but I do think a lot of that has to do with no one wanting the Dodgers in the WS and the strong hatred fans have for them. I would agree this is maybe one of the more optimistic years in recent memory. Probably since 2021.
  11. MrTPlush
    So sometimes I forget this myself, but professional athletes aren’t the gold standards of high morales and being great people. They actually probably embody the opposite better. Braun is not the only liar in baseball nor is he the only cheater. Be that on the field or in life. How much would you bet the that not a single player on the 2026 Brewers has not cheated at some point over the season…or their career? I’m not betting much. The reward of success at the MLB level is millions of dollars, endless amounts of players are going to attempt to cheat to be better. Anyway, the first captain in Brewers history thought Braun was a great leader and mentor. I think that speaks for itself.
  12. MrTPlush
    Only way they lose is a flashback to the 49ers playoff game where they threw for like 70 yards and the QB ran all over the field. I think our defense is good enough these days to avoid that.
  13. MrTPlush
    Ryan Braun basically took Yelich under his wing and mentored him after he came here. Yelich credited Braun as a big reason he signed his extension with us. I don’t think Braun’s PED fiasco mattered to players as much as fans think.
  14. MrTPlush
    ESPN had them projected for 90 wins. Padres weren’t a huge surprise for a WC…Cubs were supposed to win the division. To be honest, I’m not sure what mental gymnastics it would require to even pick anyone not named Murphy.
  15. MrTPlush
    We will see if there is Murphy fatigue, but this is probably the most deserving of any of his years. The strong finish to the year will get it for him, imo. Would be the first 3-peat in MLB history. Which is a bit crazy when you consider the record for total awards is 4.
  16. MrTPlush
    Precisely part of the problem. It is what it is. Don’t blow up divisions and rivalries because one year there was a goofy bracket. The best team rarely wins anyway. No need to overthink the bracket to be ‘right’. There are many reasons I don’t care to watch the NBA and the meaningless of divisions is definitely up there.
  17. MrTPlush
    Good news, Baker Mayfield is out so the Packers probably have a free win this week. Jalon Daniels is their current back-up (undrafted rookie).
  18. MrTPlush
    Yelich is not donating his remaining $60mil back to us. Just not happening. Hopefully he finds a way to rebound next year. Great leader, but a sub .700 OPS DH is rough.
  19. MrTPlush
    Personally, I don’t really care. We are better than both of them solidly. If we lose it is likely because our guys slump…at which point the opponent hardly matters. If anything I’d prefer the Padres simply because they aren’t going to fill up a chunk of our stadium and if we lose it isn’t to a rival.
  20. MrTPlush
    From being begged to go pitch in the AS game last year to what should be a unanimous Cy Young award win this year.
  21. MrTPlush
    It isn’t that deep. People can give their opinion regardless of team success without it divulging into some deep philosophical analysis of their true fandom. People can think this is dumb and also not care at the same time. No one is going to care tomorrow whether they had a positive/negative reaction to the news.
  22. MrTPlush
    I went down the rabbit hole of captains in MLB. There are currently three in baseball: Royals - Salvador Perez Yankees - Aaron Judge Brewers - Christian Yelich Babe Ruth was a Yankees captain for five days before the title was stripped from him for getting ejected and having an altercation with a fan.
  23. MrTPlush
    If the Brewers were to win out, they would match the exact record the A’s had in the 2002 season, which is the year ‘Moneyball’ is based on.
  24. MrTPlush
    How long did it take Murphy to convince Yelich to agree to this? This is cringe.
  25. MrTPlush
    Never been done. As you can imagine, a team having a bigger losing streak than winning streak to win 100+ games has also never been done. (Brewers lost 6 games in a row in April).
