Briefly … Murphy is Counsel’s buddy & I don’t want a chummy relationship between the Cubs & Brewers
As for Weeks - I didn’t ever come away from hearing him speak thinking “that’s a sharp guy, there - he gets baseball”
I don’t need anyone to agree with me or approve my reasons for not liking either hire … simply a preference thing for me - I preferred other candidates
I posted immediately after hearing the news of Murphy & Weeks … both names were disappointing to hear
No matter who plays or coaches for the Brewers, I’m all in & will support them fully
This is a fan forum … I thought opinions were allowed
if I enjoy a meal & say - that is the BEST hamburger ever - evidence would be hard to provide … I simply hate the choice … both Murphy & Weeks … I’d like a clean break from Counsell rather than best buds in Murphy … I don’t think much of Weeks but I could be wrong … just simply a preference thing & a desire for something different
I was hoping for a complete break with Counsell … I hate that these two buddies will lead separate teams … I don’t want a chummy Brewers / Cubs relationship between the managers
I’m terribly disappointed in this decision
Murphy is the only name mentioned that made me cringe
He belongs with his little buddy Counsell in Chicago
I was hoping for a younger, Brewers system guy like McKinven
Oh well … I was pulling for the Brewers long before Murphy & assuming I live for a while I’ll be pulling for them once he is fired sometime in the future
This makes me equally as sad as Counsell bolting for the Cubbies
I’m not excited at all … I hope they tear down & rebuild immediately
I love Wade Miley as a pitcher & he is certainly a strong clubhouse leader
I don’t believe he is worth $10M per year (only 120 innings this year)
I can’t imagine anyone giving him a two-year contract at his age with his injury history
