It’s Sunday, so I will offer a Bible verse & contrast it with this Brewers team:
Revelation 3:15-16 - Jesus said: “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
There is nothing worse than “lukewarm” coffee. On several occasions, I have spit such coffee back in my mug … yuck!
As a devoted baseball & Brewers fan, I would much rather this team be lousy than a middle-of-the-road .500 team.
Ideally, I want them to be excellent (Rays, Orioles, Braves, D-Backs, Giants, Dodgers) … winning is fun!
I can also handle losing IF it is part of a rebuilding plan.
What is insufferable is mediocre … what we’ve been for two years now.
I’d prefer we sell off our players who might bring quality assets & top-tier prospects - future contributors to a winning club.
I’ve had about all I can tolerate of average, middle-of-the-pack baseball.
I’m not a fan of the expanded playoff system because it allows Brewers-type teams to sneak into the playoffs - which (to me) is NOT the goal. Winning a World Series Championship is the only goal & this team has no chance.
Please don’t rush to remind me of the few exceptions (2021 Braves, 2006 Cardinals). 😇
