    This is far from the only outcomes. Arby salaries aren’t guaranteed, so the Brewers can tender him a contract today with little risk and not do anything for months. However, reading between the lines, I’m guessing he isn’t going to be a Brewer in the future. If they wanted to give him a deal, it probably would have happened by now. If he gets tendered a contract the Brewers believe a team will trade for him. The team that trades for him can then agree to a deal that overrides what would have been a one year arby deal. They are not forced to rush and figure out a trade today. A trade would likely be long and complicated as it would need Woodruff to agree to what the acquiring team wants to give him.

    For as much as Wisconsin returns players and they are around 4-5 years. It is amazing how none of them ever seem to really progress their game.

    Weeks' title is odd, but then again, the Blue Jays gave someone the title yesterday. Possibly, the Brewers are just sausage-blocking Counsell on multiple fronts. Murphy to manager and gave Weeks a title as good as he can get with the Cubs. Counsell will still need a bench coach, he may have liked someone like Weeks...who he played with. Brewers may have been concerned that not giving him the role behind Murphy he could have a chance to leave for Counsell.

    Wonder if their contract bans them from their next job being the Cubs…

    Yah, that title has got to be a bit intentional for one reason or another. Is that title actually a thing around baseball?

    I will get jumped by a Milwaukee-area lifer for this but: Think of Culver's, but it has 3 locations and has an old diner vibe. Butterburgers and custard. I went there maybe twice. The burger is pretty good, but the buns kinda suck imo. Reminds me of the cheapest Great Value brand type bun you can find in the grocery store. The custard is pretty good, but both times it came out half soupy already and by the time I was done I basically needed a straw. I know that is kinda a custard thing...but I prefer how Culver's is a bit more solid to start. That being said...it is a pretty good place to eat and I wish I had one by me. Culver's is better, but Kopp's would be a dream change of pace for a different butterburger.

    The 5-county tax was bad at face value...even worse the way they left it as an open checkbook with no concrete end date. Rules saying it had to be updated to stay within the such and such standard of stadiums. Just terrible.

    You do realize, more than about pretty much any sport, baseball depends largely on natural reaction time? No amount of training, steroids, and parent's money on travel ball is going to help that. His split between his BA and OBP was .098 for his career....that is insane. Certainly, he was infamous for swinging at sliders off the plate, but literally every player in history is infamous for struggling with some kind of pitch they chase. Braun was no different, Yelich is no different. Weeks is probably Top 5 in franchise history for plate discipline.

    Week's did us a favor...he ended up a better manager of himself than RRR could do. Kinda like Mark Kotsay should have refused to play CF.
  10. MrTPlush
    In question of passing today maybe...but that was arguably one of the smoothest new stadium/major renovation deals in recent history.

    I always felt this was a little overblown. The denied request to play the OF always referred to was at like the start of May. Asking 10 year MLB veteran to experiment around the field in his FA year is just...a wild request. Especially considering he was always pretty bad at 2B despite playing there for over a decade. To think he was going to, midseason, be a passable 1B or OF was quite optimistic. Then he went elsewhere, played the OF....and was horrendous. So it kind of proved out to be a terrible idea in retrospect. Rickie Weeks actually said he would never play left field a good half decade before that anyway. Of course...pretending every player isn't 'me first' is a fair argument in itself.
  13. MrTPlush
    Do you realize there is a whole dugout of coaches all focused on different things? Like Berry does baserunning. So if Carlos Gomez became manager the entire team wouldn't become idiots on the basepaths.
  14. MrTPlush
    People were sick of retread managers and especially sick of ones that were retirement age. I recall people being pretty excited to get a no experience guy at the helm that didn't have adult kids. Of course, it helped it was hometown boy at the time too.
  15. MrTPlush
    Half the comments about this manager search are strong opinions on guys with zero managing experience ever. Both positive and negative. I mean, sure, but I don't know what the criteria they are getting judged on at that point. To be quite honest...I don't know if Weeks would be good or absolutely terrible. Vogt? Same with him. I don't even know how you can really base any kind of assumption on these guys with no managerial past. David Ross seemed like a perfect players coach, but he doesn't seem like that great of a manager.
  16. MrTPlush
    Why would we not want Berry on the field directing baserunners?
  17. MrTPlush
    '24 is a weird year. Murphy is going to be dirt cheap and require very little investment in terms of years. If he seems good, GREAT! If not, just can the dude and look for a manager at the beginning of FA and not a few weeks into it after Counsell is done clowning around. As I said before the other thread got closed, who isn't going to be available next offseason, that we could have signed this offseason?
  18. MrTPlush
    I’m not shocked they are giving it to him, to be honest. He may very well end up a placeholder if 2024 is the 90+ loss spiral it could be. He is by far the easiest guy to hire and then can in a year. Cheap too, I am sure. We came in late to the manager FA party and any of the ones that remained had their sights set on other teams already. Probably should be happy we didn’t hire an old retread guy just to get someone notable. What is there to lose? The other options weren’t exactly great and most of them will be available next offseason anyway. Maybe he is good, maybe not. Just can him if he is.
  19. MrTPlush
    Get Rickie Weeks to rub his OBP skills on the guys...just don't let his defensive gene rub off on them.
  20. MrTPlush
    The division is weak, so yah, it isn't impossible to compete next year. Maybe the Cubs try to spend a bunch and have the best team on paper by a mile...but that doesn't assure them anything. Not saying they can't, but banking on the postseason being a decent scenario...is a pretty generous and optimistic outlook. I don't think assuming that wouldn't happen is some kind of terrible opinion on my part. I think 75%+ of Brewers fans would say we have little to no shot. I am optimistic we can have an offense that isn't completely embarrassing, but that rotation needs some serious TLC. Losing Woodruff, Burnes, and even Miley is quite crippling.
  21. MrTPlush
    Do you know what a strawman argument is? I didn't distort Reilly's view at all. His last sentence is that he expects '24 to be a rough year...so he doesn't expect us to be competing. Which is a pretty understandable outlook if we trade Williams/Burnes/Adames like his post assumed. He didn't really elaborate his expectations past that...so hard to distort that. I am sure the team will go out there and try to win games in '24...but I don't think that means we wouldn't lose potentially 90+ in that scenario. Even the loss of Woodruff is getting a bit underrated. He was injured a lot last year, but he still pitched 33% of his starts, went 5-1, and had 2.4 WAR. That is going to get replaced with someone much worse. Could they pull of a 2017 type of turnaround in 2025? Potentially, going to be done a little different though. That team hit on a lot of MLB players (Shaw/Pina/Anderson) to help turn that around. This one is likely going to end up dependent on prospects heavily. Likely much more than the 2017 team did. The downside, you would burn half of Peralta's control at minimum to find out how that 2025 team shapes up.
  22. MrTPlush
    I’m not a huge Love fan, but I thought it was a decent game for him. The first INT was a poor decision, but unlucky for it to end up picked off. He then got them into a chance to win it on a minute drive. The second INT is whatever….at least he threw the ball somewhere a guy may luck out and catch it.
  23. MrTPlush
    My thought when Jones caught it was “can he get out of bounds”…I’m guessing Jones thought he wouldn’t make it. of course there was no replay, so not sure how close that would have been
  24. MrTPlush
    Dude is a pro at choke jobs to lose games. A bit unlucky there though to be honest.
  25. MrTPlush
    Guessing someone upstairs told them how bad that was.
