  1. Brian Anderson is ironically calling the Cubs game today.
  2. Walk/wild pitch/wild pitch/walk/error Brewers three outs from division title.
  3. Let’s go Chafin! Scoreless inning on a K to end it?
  4. While you all talk doomsday, what a perfect time for a losing streak. The division is secured and we have zero gain to winning…we can’t improve our seeding. Just sit back and take a chill pill. This is meaningless baseball.
  5. Does the city or county not have a tax on ticket sales? No entertainment tax? Nothing? Even if they don’t have that, Milwaukee county get .5% of all ticket sales from county residents, every penny of sales inside the stadium, all of the money generated in the county by visitors, and the city gets motel tax. That has got to be a bonkers amount of money a year.
  6. Love just has no consistency with his accuracy. Sigh
  7. I’m sure the city wants them to invest around the stadium because then they kind of pin themselves there forever and their argument to get up and leave come 2045 is pretty weak. Obviously the Brewers don’t want to invest in a spot that isn’t technically ever considered permanent. I could see the Brewers trying to pull something like this 20 years from now when they may be begging for an entire new stadium and need 3x what they are requesting now. If you’re Attanasio and dreaming of investing in residential/retail infrastructure, I’m pretty sure he could find a 1,000 places better in the country to do it. Probably dozens in the SE Wisconsin area that are better. If you were going to invest hundreds of millions, fandom aside, would you really think the AmFam area is anywhere near the top of best places to do it?
  8. If it has no relevancy to the Brewers, what are they gaining from it? The difference between titletown and AmFam is the fact the area around Lambeau was nice as-is. Nice residential, other attractions, and Lambeau is an off-season attraction in itself. If Attanasio wanted to invest in real estate and housing, he could find better place to do it. The area around AmFam is honestly a dump of uselessness to feed off of. VA is 50% of the surrounding area with a cemetery, 40% is like industrial type stuff, and 10% is a small community to the far north on the other side of the highway. Who is going to want to live in a sea of parking lots and cemeteries? What business wants to be there? The area is just nothing, unfortunately.
  9. The problem is, the area is currently a wasteland, a total wasteland. When the Brewers aren’t in town, no one is there. There isn’t an economic area to bolster, supplement, and feed off of. How do you find tenants/builders when the area will be dead over half the year? Not to mention, compete with tailgating (good food and beer that is cheap). The Deer District, STL Cardinals district, and even Lambeau Field don’t really have to compete with people bringing their own food/beer. The Brewers have done little pop-up tailgate/attraction areas in the parking lot before and they are always a flop. On another note, I think winterizing AmFam is probably largely due to the system needing replacement anyway and the cost to bolster it is probably not that much in the grand scheme. While most larger stadium tours are in the summer, I think there are still plenty of events that take place in the winter they would be looking to attract. Certainly, it would give Milwaukee a very unique venue that has no real comparable nearby as Chicago and Minneapolis both have outdoor baseball stadiums. Is there an interest in a venue size between that of a basketball arena and a football stadium? I don’t think them hosting Badgers basketball was a coincidence, I think they would bid for an Elite 8. They have had it at Lucas Oil Stadium, so clearly there is an appetite for a bigger venue than a basketball arena can hold.
  10. I mean, for starters, he would have taken years more to develop. He was far from being a legitimate MLB starter when he went to the bullpen (at the MLB level). He just didn’t have his pitches figured out to the point to trick MLB hitters for 6 innings Would have been in the minors till maybe 2019 and maybe even a year or two after that to be a reliable MLB starter.
  11. I wouldn’t say it is a bad deal, at least for the state. They will make it back through income and sales tax. You can’t really make the argument the money could be spent better some other way because said money wouldn’t exist if the team left. I will admit, I don’t really know enough on a city/county level how much value these franchises actually create. For some of these stadiums downtown it can certainly have a major impact on the quality of an entire area…AmFam isn’t exactly the same way though.
  12. You have to stop the momentum of the foot going down for the heel to not matter.
  13. In today’s NFL environment that seemed like a really easy flag to throw. Shocked he got away with it.
  14. This may be the worst part of losing Rodgers…now we get the lowest on the totem pole announcers.
  15. These announcers are so dumb. Downplaying the PI because it is only worth a half yard. Uhhh yah…let’s forget 1st and half a yard versus 3rd down because of it…
  16. It’s a basic coaching responsibility to be aware of the clock and cover your player’s butt’s. Blame it in MLF…or the coaches standing next to him. There is no excuse to not be aware the kick is no where near being ready to get kicked.
  17. Good clock management MLF, how do you let that expire?
  18. Clearly there is something to it. If they were just graciously letting him clean out his locker and go home due to injury they would have said/done something.
  19. It appears Shohei Ohtani is rage quitting the Angels after clearing out his locker yesterday.
  20. He isn’t diluting himself. He doesn’t need to invest more into the Brewers. The valuation of the franchise is what it is. It goes up with the general value of MLB as a whole. That is why a completely dysfunctional and disaster of a sports franchise can be put up for sale and break records when sold.
  21. An upgrade to the concession stands at that…not even the garbage food they dish out.
  22. *checks bingo card* Yes, just as I predicted...we eliminated the Cardinals from the divisional race on September 14th
