I certainly get that and I was excited for them to get their chance. I just don't think they will push this year's rookie class aside and have a new crop of rookies starting right away 2 years in a row. I could certainly see in May/June. Of course this is if Counsell hypothetically stays. If he's gone then they could certainly go that direction.

I think a lot is hanging on what happens with the head coach situation. Majority belief is that Counsell is gone. But, if Counsell wants to stay then I think we get a lot of what we've seen over the last few off seasons. Plugging holes with 1 year veterans, not going with a bunch of rookies to start the year. If he moves on there is a lot more to think about. Would they hand the reins to Murphy? Look inside the organization? Look for a known coaching entity? Go in an entirely different direction? But I think construction of 2024 doesn't start until they figure out what the coaching staff looks like for the next era.

This will be a really interesting offseason. Fan excitement seems to be waning with the style of baseball they have played over the last few years (non-exciting, minimal bats, good pitching and defense). The fans at the stadium weren't hanging on every pitch like fans often do for playoff games. Even the broadcasters in this playoff series seemed hard pressed to come up with exciting talking points for the Brewers other than Counsell leaving. It often seemed like they were annoyed they even had to stop talking about the D-Backs. But I guess I get it, the D-Backs actually have some exciting young hitters and the Brewer's hitters are kind of meh. Some of our better hitters weren't on the team the whole year and probably won't be next year. Just hard to root for such a non-stable group of hitters. The Brewers really need to look long and hard how they approach this next phase. They need to be careful to not to continue this years-long offensive doom loop that they have constructed and at least give the fans hope that you're focused on fixing it. If they go status quo and just add to the periphery like they have in recent years, it's likely you see a drop in attendance. With all that, I do hope these last two playoff exits have given them enough of a push to want to do something different and exciting. Go Brewers!!
