    GB loves to promote from within. I'll guess Al Harris. This is the franchise that took Ryan Mahaffey from Asst. OLine Coach to Wide Receiver coach.

    I’d prefer the Altuve Axiom. An undersized infielder hits above his weight and helps his team to a WS win even if it means cheating

    I know nothing about Jett Williams except he’s another guy who needs a booster seat in a restaurant, but describing him as a “utility man” in this article made my stomach churn.

    Better than Michigan? C’mon man. It was won in the best possible way. Rip their hearts out. Two road wins in the Big Ten is better than I expected.

    Do you apply the same standard to LaFleur? Does he have to win the Super Bowl next year? And as far as "starting from scratch", that's not really the case. Same GM, a lot of the same roster, it's a nice job for a candidate. And as you said, it can be done in the NFL. I don't believe that it can be done with LaFleur. If GB keeps him, obviously they disagree with me. Gutekunst builds a roster with the philosophy of getting rid of someone a year too soon rather than a year too late. Do the same here.

    Season-long success, post-season failure/underperformance. Are we talking about the Packers, Brewers, or Badger basketball? I know all the reasons are different, but man, it's tough to be a fan from where I sit right now. At least Badger FB doesn't get my hopes up. I'm okay with them moving on from LaFleur. What I don't agree is that you need to wait two seasons for a new coach to be successful. I'm not saying fire the new guy if he is not, but we can point to Ben Johnson (Bears), Curt Cignetti (Indiana fb) and Dusty May (UM BB) as coaches that didn't need two seasons. Not the norm, I understand, but not unreasonable to expect success immediately.

    But were they as talented as a team that outscored Chicago 41-6 in the first halves or not as talented as a team that got outscored 68-30 in second halves? The one that got a ten-point lead at Cleveland or the one that blew that lead? Had they been consistently outplayed, that’s one thing, but the manner in which this team lost is beyond the talent level. If they clean house, I’m fine with that. Just don’t do the same thing and run it back with the “youngest team in the NFL” and expect different results.

    I’d fire him because they were a “fringe 7” in the first place. They played last night from a script that became familiar this year. Good teams don’t hang on for dear life like this one did. What’s good to say about a team that ended the year on a five-game losing streak?
  9. Underachiever
    That same casual fan probably won’t align their schedule to attend on a day when Peralta pitches. They just plan on going on a random Saturday or Tuesday night. That lessens the importance of a particular starting pitcher to a casual fan as opposed to an everyday player

    "Mitchell is the great unknown for the Brewers." I would suggest that he is completely known at this point. And that is the biggest problem with planning on him in your lineup. He wouldn't be in my top 25.

    The author's omission of Priester is a real head-scratcher. I would slot Priester 3rd, because there is no way that Misiorowski takes on a full load of innings this year. He will have to be managed, and while I think he has greatness in him, we will see it in 4 and 5-inning bursts this year. Some 75-pitch outings, perhaps, but I don't see any way that The Miz is a full-timer this year.
  12. Underachiever
    This is a discouraging article to read. I will predict that Lockridge is not any kind of an answer and is part of the wishful thinking that Brewer fans have to live with.
  13. Underachiever
    My understanding is that the player cannot be traded before June 15th unless they consent.
  14. Underachiever
    Forget the ground ball rate, velo, options, years of control...THIS is the content I come to Brewerfan for!!!!! If they get the "NapTime" nickname, Enter Sandman has to be their song.
  15. Underachiever
    Seriously? You'd think they'd have better things to talk about. If I was a Bears fan (**shudder**), I would have no issue with my coach appearing to be a "sore loser" in a postgame handshake. He didn't go full Juwan Howard or anything. I'd love to have another John Chaney/Calipari meltdown, though. That was fun stuff. "I'll kill you!"

    Imagine a TE switching to DLine. When has that EVER worked out?
  17. Underachiever
    I've felt that the Pack has been an abdomen team ever since Watson's ACL torso badly.
  18. Underachiever
    "Fans should all dress the same for swagger. Not me though. I don't own a jersey." LOL. I felt like I was in an "ocean" of Brewer fans when I was at the playoff games. There was a sea of yellow towels waving all night. You had to have seen that. I'm sure the guy who argued with me that it didn't seem like the crowd was loud enough from his vantage point on the couch would agree with you.
  19. Underachiever
    Come on, this is silly. Sea of Cubbie Blue?
  20. Underachiever
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I love that jersey. I'm also on record as saying that if they would make a damn jersey with Barrelman on it, they could have all my money.
  21. Underachiever
    I know Turang had a sore shoulder in spring training last year. Is that the genesis of all the talk about his arm not being suited for SS? That his arm isn’t strong enough? Please let me know if I’m missing something else.
  22. Underachiever
    Hard to call this a make or break year. Mitchell’s already broken.
  23. Underachiever
    Sums up my feelings on Mitchell and his return to help the team:
  24. Underachiever
    This Pit-Buf game has been just awful. Due to injuries, review, timeouts, they ran 9 plays in 21 minutes of real time. 7-3 at halftime.
  25. Underachiever
    Tough schedule, yes. But come on, your statement about beating two ranked teams is the most technically true and least relevant statement you could have made. The 2010 team beat #1 OSU and went to Kinnick and beat #15 Iowa. That team would have probably beaten more ranked teams had the situation presented itself. I'm guessing they could have handled the two ranked teams the Badgers defeated as well. I don't consider beating now unranked Illinois and Washington to be the same thing. Balance that against being the only B10 team to lose to Maryland this year. And I hear Maryland lost their starting quarterback from last year to the portal!
