Underachiever

Oh, I agree. I never underestimate the elite athlete's ability to feel disrespected, lol.

Got my tickets for the NLCS this morning. So expensive. I feel like it's a lot more than last year. Around $250 per for 200 level, $189 for the 400 level!

He's not wrong.

87 Brewers started the season winning 20 out of 23, then lost 12 in a row, so...something something or other.

I am trying to line up my ticket source at Rate Field for the Brewers-White Sox WS. White Sox putting it to the Astros in Game 2.

Cubs are going to screw the Brewers by laying down for SD

On to game three! Go Sox! Hoping that Durbin, Monasterio, and even Jahmai Jones succeed on the team. If they do well, maybe Boston does another trade with the Brewers.

Taylor hadn't pitched more than 40 pitches in an appearance. He goes 54 over 2.1 in game one of the playoffs. Nice work!

Come on, go after Velazquez, he's not the tying run

oh my, if/ a Brewer looks at strike 3 with two on and two out in the bottom of the 8th, I might lose my mind.

I shrugged when he was hired. Felt like the easy and cost-effective choice.

Because the fewest seasons a hall of fame manager has is 16, and the fewest number of games managed is 2100. Managers need longevity, so unless Murph goes until he is 80, he's not getting in.

Please, please, White Sox, knock the Cheating Altuves out of the playoffs.

I agree, and I think the same thing could be said about which team is preferable to play in the post-season. I'm guilty of it, and I think most wanted the Nats in 19, the Braves in 21, and the Dbacks in 23. I'm not sure if fans preferred the Mets in 24, but I think that we liked the fact that the Mets and Braves had to play a doubleheader on the Monday after the end of the regular season because of Hurricane Helene. That didn't work, either.

You forgot to call him "Pancakes".

Turang at cleanup? Somebody's trying to get him his 100 rbis.

Heading into the last game of his third season, Murphy is doing something historic. Even including his 96-game interim gig with the Padres in 2015 (42-54 record), he has crept into the top 25 in baseball history in winning percentage. His Brewer gig alone puts him just outside the top 10. That's in all of baseball history.

He has worked with rookies, established vets, waiver wire acquisitions, minimum salaried players, etc. He and the front office have managed the Nashville shuttle and the 40-man, and done it with a brand of baseball that maximizes the margins and leverages market inefficiencies. Our opponents and their fans are befuddled by the Brewers' success, and a lot of the credit has to go to Murphy. There are a good number of posters who think he can't build lineups, is poor at managing a bullpen, bad at in-game replacements, don't like how he calls out players, hate him bringing his kids to pressers, but you cannot deny the winning. Outside of Aaron Civale (and Jesse Winker), have we heard of players unhappy within the org even after they leave? Some posters like to imagine that certain decisions won't go over well in the clubhouse but can't point to any concrete evidence of it. He's the perfect manager for this organization, and this team. Now go win it all!

Especially ten minutes after the 102nd win of the season

He quit the site in protest of the rigged mlb system. He sure showed them

Nothing wrong with Amy. Passionate fan who goes to more games than probably everyone typing away here. Keeps a scorecard. Icon of Brewer fandom.

Front Row Amy

You must be new here

Rosters are pretty tight; Murphy had to balance Pratt’s illness, Vaughn’s absence, just not a lot of options

I was wondering who the last-minute gut-punch injury was going to be this year
