    Nevermind the fact every poster on this board would have celebrated like they won the lottery if the Brewers had signed Hiura to exactly what you want them to sign Chourio to right now after his first month in the bigs. Hiura is absolutely relevant to this conversation.

    Easy to say. Just like it's easy for me to say there are many scenarios that derail those good feelings in a real hurry that don't even include him just not performing up to expectations. You're going to try to scare me with we get a legit superstar for 6 years and get sad if he leaves for more money? Deal, I'll take it. Where do I sign up for exactly that? It's ridiculous to suggest if this doesn't happen we're losing out on something. Why can't they sign him after year one in the bigs, or year two, etc. They HAVE to sign him now? No, they really don't.

    Unless the Brewers are going to start spending like the Padres year in and year out I absolutely hate the very idea of this. Way too much risk of injury or non-performance. The Brewers already have 6 years of control that don't start until he makes the big league club, there's no reason to hurry unless they're getting a fantastic deal in their favor. They've learned nothing from the Yelich contract. Nothing prevents them from extending him at literally any other time once he hits the big leagues. I feel like this will be an unpopular opinion but life is unpredictable and I think that burns the team in so many more ways than it does the player in a situation like this. There is literally zero harm in playing the long game. Maybe the final year and dollar numbers change my mind once or if this happens but for now I'm not for it.

    Careful, this goes against the narrative that Gutekunst is a terrible GM.

    They're using too much time.

    I've been wanting them to use Love on a run play like that for some time now. They should do it more often.
  7. SeaBass
    Big stop!
  8. SeaBass
    I'm not far off from that either but when you're up 2 scores I think leaning a hair more conservative isn't a bad play.
  9. SeaBass
    Never had a doubt.

    I said it to my brother before the attempt, just kick the PAT, it's too early to worry about a one point discrepancy.
  11. SeaBass
    Ahh the schadenfreude!
  12. SeaBass
    I think our defense forgot to come out of the locker room.
  13. SeaBass
    Of course but I'm guessing every kicker has a better success percentage on PATs vs. FGs. Right now Carlson has 3 misses each.
  14. SeaBass
    He's missed PATs in 3 straight games now, I can forgive the occasional miss and FGs misses are more common but he's gotta make those PATs. ETA: Just remembering one of those was a block which isn't on him.

    Little surprised at Detroit kicking there. Their brand has been taking chances and being aggressive, either you believe in that and go for it or it's all a sham.
  16. SeaBass
    Didn't realize the more extreme danger of running a play and knowing which side to run to.
  17. SeaBass
    We are in danger of setting a new season high in points scored.
  18. SeaBass
    Lol what's going on!?
  19. SeaBass
    Carlson isn't good.
  20. SeaBass
    A moment that will live forever in Brewers fan's memories. Godspeed, sir.

    Oh well. It'll be fun to watch Woody's comeback after he gets signed by the Cubs. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    I just think it's a lot of assuming. I think Murphy is a safe hire, sure. He's probably not getting a substantial salary. We don't even know how long he wants to stay in baseball. I also think the Brewers feel he'll be a successful manager, why else would they hire him? The, "aw shucks, let the old man do it a couple years" idea doesn't really work for me. So they think he can do the job. I just don't know why any team would hire a guy with the thought they'll replace him in 3 or 4 years. Just hire the guy you think will do a good job from the start, no timeline. Also, 70 isn't some death sentence, Bob Uecker is pushing 90 and I can't find anything online about if he's done yet. Murphy could coach well into his early 70s if he's physically and mentally capable. Dusty Baker did it, I don't know if everyone would agree he's "the best manager" but we don't even know how Murphy will do. My only point was, as I said in my post, I think it will come down to his performance as manager more than any other factor that determines how long he keeps the job. TLDR - I think Weeks is Plan B in case Murphy's performance is a failure. If Murphy is doing a good job then there's no expiration date on his tenure.

    Just playing devil's advocate, Murphy could manage through his age 70 season and it would be 6 seasons. That's a fairly average timespan for a manager. I think it will come down to performance more than any other reason if the Brewers decide to move on from him. I mean, if they REALLY think Rickie Weeks is going to be the next genius manager and felt they were in danger of losing him, sure they could make the move earlier, but that's a lot of assuming. And it's not like Weeks can't be just as good a leader as a bench coach if Murphy is a successful manager.

    We've already seen it in late '22 after the Hader trade. (Heck, during Hader's struggle period too.) I stand by my opinion that it's players that make managers look good or bad and that the Brewers writing CC a blank check wasn't a good idea (one they ultimately agreed with). I'm glad it's the Cubs that get to test that theory. Maybe "glad" is a strong word but hopefully you know what I mean. As far as Murphy, yeah he's not an exciting hire but he just might be the right hire. If so many people loved CC and wanted him to stay there should be some hope that Murphy is more than capable of being CC lite, especially considering he's been a mentor to CC and bench coach since 2015 (Edit: he was hired after the 2015 season, so in effect 2016). The guy just might have some idea how this baseball thing works.

    Imagine being a Bills fan right now. They had realistic expectations of competing for a championship going into the season. Now they take an ugly home loss to the Broncos with a myriad of costly mistakes and are 5-5.
