The bottom of the 9th in a playoff game and the best they got is Montesario? -
Some bite at the apple; an offense that made the pitching staff work south out a safety net. Should have sold you n an attempt to add the next Caroll and Gallen

Instant replay in baseball is stupid.

The most recent rumors are Counsell intends to manage in 2024, so the family concerns seemingly would have no bearing on him leaving Milwaukee. Therefore it is all about money, and the direction of the team. Franconia presided over a handful of bad teams in a Cleveland but was well paid to do so.
-
It’s about money nothing more nothing less. Counsell given his tenure and success likely feels he deserves to be amongst the highest paid managers. The Brewers no doubt would love to have him back but “at the right price” which is probably less than what the top managers are paid.

Will CC finally win his first MOY Award?
Jopal78 replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Skip Schumaker probably now wins NL MOY. He took mostly the same group of Marlins from 93 losses in ‘22 to potentially 86 wins and the #2 wild card this year. Counsell got robbed of the award by Schildt Snitker and arguably Kapler. This year Schumaker got more out of less. Counsell still has mostly the same group that won 95 games in ‘21. -
No team is going to give a 31+ year old who has missed 38 of 51 games (‘21-‘23) with 5 operations on a knee any sort of guarantee. I doubt Bakhtiari puts his body through the grinder for the veteran minimum. (Remember Urlacher refused a 2.5 million dollar deal from the Bears as not worth the punishment to his body, defacto ending his career). Thus, despite Bakhtiari saying he’s not retiring, it’s likely the end of the line.

Walker has played in about 60 games between college and the pros, with countless practices. He knows he can’t be doing that, but Walker is quickly proving he’s a knucklehead incapable of playing smart football. Nixon is another one who hurt the team bringing kicks out of the end zone and barely making the 20 yard line.
-
Well, they probably would’ve cut him had they not given him a 2nd round tender. Such is the career of undrafted players: he has strength and size but after coaching him up the best they could he’s a fringe roster player.

Took one half of a game to move Left Tackle to the Packers biggest area of need.

Ever realize #4 is retired on all Wisconsin pro-sports franchises? Bucks-4 Moncrief Brewers—4 Molitor Packers—4 Favre

For all those big stadium music tours that take place during Winter? The big acts don’t typically tour the Midwest between November and March. Without events to pack the place there’s not much value in winterizing it for Monster Truck Jam and Wrestle Mania.
-
His career sure was a puzzler. I recall he had two pretty good years for the Brewers but with Rickie Weeks and Bill Hall on the roster they traded him to Oakland for Nelson Cruz, and Ginter’s career instantly fizzled out.

Brewers (Megill) vs Cardinals (Rom): 9/19/23, 6:45pm
Jopal78 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
His best start of the season and 200th career win against Milwaukee last night was only fitting. Wainwright has been the biggest Brewer killer, west of Aaron Nola. More innings pitched against Milwaukee than any other team, more wins against. A quarter of his career complete games (7 of 28) were against the Brewers, and 3 of his 11 shutouts occurred against Milwaukee. Glad he’ll be retiring because even in the midst of a crappy season he still has their number. -
They would have to get rid of Anderson first. If you think about it the Brewers basically play a man short every night with Anderson on the roster getting virtually zero playing time.
-
On the one hand it’s tough luck getting DFA’d from a team in the chase as you head into free agency. Then on the hand he gets to start his winter break early and still will get a million bucks from the Reds to do so.

Now wait a minute… Joe Oliver came to the Brewers after missing the ‘94 season with an injury and coming off the strike and delayed start of the 95 season. He certainly wasn’t washed up because he had a career year with the Brewers then played six more seasons, where he produced exactly at his career marks. He just wasn’t ever a dynamic player to begin with. In the 80s Ted Simmons and BJ Surhoff caught the vast majority of Brewers’ games. A hall of famer and a former #1 overall pick. Surhoff/Nilsson/Oliver/Matheny covers the bulk of the games in the 90s.
-
True, but Baltimore, Arizona, Cincinnati Minnesota and Seattle all wracked up multiple seasons of 90 losses over the last decade or so, and are now laden with young premium players from drafting near top of the first round. It has nothing to do with market size.
-
A major injury at 40, he could ride off in the sunset with no blowback, “I wanted to come back but my body won’t allow me to at the level I feel I need to play to the standards I’ve set in my career”. Although probably would feel like a chump to an extent, leaving GB, going to the Jets, taking a pay cut of his guaranteed salary then playing for 4 minutes before suffering a career ending injury.
-
An Achilles tear is a more gruesome injury than an ACL. Requires non-weight bearing status for weeks after surgery. Rodgers might feel he has something to prove by making a comeback, but a 40 year old man rehabbing that injury to play in the NFL again seems like a tall order.
-
That’s the Cubs for you, Crow-Armstrong doesn’t play a position of need for the Cubs. They’re 4 best hitters in terms of OPS+ are Happ LF, Bellinger CF, Suzuki RF and Morel DH. They could move Bellinger to 1B and PCA to CF, but then that takes away at bats from Tauchman and Wisdom two additional productive players.
-
Yep, six regular season games tell us all we need to know. With Monasterio’s 1.000 OPS in those six games they better be batting him cleanup! But it’s okay if it makes you feel better from being unable to see the big picture please continue to call me a contrarian.

Here’s some facts for you: The Brewers beat Aaron Nola on September 7th 2021, they didn’t beat him again until two calendar years later. During that stretch he made 4 starts against Milwaukee went 28 1/3 innings, allowed 15 hits, 3 walks, and had 31 strike outs, and allowed 6ER. Since 2021 Wheeler has made 4 starts against Milwaukee. He went 26 innings, allowed 17H 0BB 24K and allowed 7ER. Those numbers include his defeat by Milwaukee last week. Simply stated Nola is a Brewer killer, there isn’t a team I would want to face less in a 3 game elimination series than the Phillies with Nola in Game 1. While the Brewers have had more success against Wheeler relatively speaking even with his most recent loss he still has a Sub-1.00 WHIP against Milwaukee since April 2021. It’s not pessimism or nonsense, those two guys a very good pitchers and in particular have pitched very well against the Brewers the last few seasons. The Brewers would be better off against almost any other team in a best 2 out of 3 series.
-
Since 2020 only 3 of the 12 Wild Card series have NOT been sweeps. It’s not really debatable the Phillies have more overall talent on their roster than the Brewers. Nonetheless, you seem pretty convinced despite all the contrary evidence, so keep on believin’ then I suppose.
