Is that the same as … that sounds bad to me -
I’m a single poster … are you referring to Mr. Positivity as a childish name? Have others called you names?
-
I certainly hope the clock is (has been) ticking. The sooner the better for me. There are better options available for the DH role. If Yelich had another injury (certainly not something I want to see), I believe we would fare much better with those who replace his at bats. An offseason release for Yelich would benefit both parties. Eat the remaining salary much like the Bucks did with Dame Lillard. Give his DH role to younger, healthier, better players.

Whatever. You may not be aware that you can’t make room for any posts that aren’t completely positive. I have a few friends that are incredibly positive … a great trait no doubt. But those friends often can’t see what is obvious to others because it isn’t the “sunny side” perspective.

I may be alone, but I was genuinely thrilled when Weeks didn’t return as Associate Manager in 2026. I hope one of the other coaches replaces Murphy when that time comes.
-
Excellent points …
-
Point understood. Please NO to Weeks being our future manager 🤮

Another Pollyanna post by Mr. Positivity. You too often reprimand or speak down to fans who get frustrated by a stubborn manager who keeps repeating the same mistakes. Fans should be upset when common sense decisions by the manager backfire. Yes, players need to perform well, but the manager should put players in position to succeed. Stats don’t lie … Ashby is in a terrible funk - so is Yelich. Let’s all just act happy no matter how badly a young pitcher performs or an old manager stubbornly & consistently repeats his mistakes.
-
That is not because Murphy is a good in-game decision maker. I hate for anyone to make that argument. Yes, the Brewers have a fantastic record … that does not mean that the two-time MOY handles the bullpen well or that he is good with pinch-hitting late in games. I credit our pitching staff & coaches for our exceptional record - not Murphy.
-
That was an ugly & painful loss. I’d rather lose 10-0 than lose in this fashion. As I’ve typed MANY times in these IGTs, Murphy’s in-game decision making is his one fatal flaw. I love everything else about him, but he consistently makes poor choices with his favorite players. Today, it cost us a win.
-
What year is it in your city?
-
Can someone mention this to Murphy? If he’s open to further input, you might also update him on Yelich’s stats in that same time frame.
-
Ashby will probably pitch in Game 2 or relieve Miz tomorrow. Murphy loves him & Yelich no matter the results. if we lose this game, it is 100% on the manager.
-
I find this very interesting … especially on a day we will likely see Sanchez catch the 2nd game
-
I’m sure it won’t happen but one option would be to release him in the offseason & eat the contract … similar to what the Bucks did with Dame Lillard. I believe there are several bats on our 40-man roster that would add greater value over the next two years.
-
It was definitely away from the barrel … Sproat hit 3 batters in 3 innings pitched. Many of his pitches were a foot outside the strike zone. He was constantly behind in the count. He threw far too many pitches (83) for 9 outs. He was terrible today.
-
Yelich batting lead off is simply stubbornness by Murphy that is costing his team early outs. This is the one thing that irritated me about Greg when he was our manager. Apparently, Yelich is chummy with the manager & their friendship clouds their reality that he is no longer a good MLB hitter. He will dip under .700 OPS today. He should play every other day based on his current performance. There are more deserving bench bats available to DH. I’m grateful for his history & contributions over the years but he’s no longer a great hitter. He’s not even a good hitter. He’s a below average hitter. He’s certainly not a lead off hitter.
-
Ashcraft looking pretty average here in the fifth inning
-
Summer of Sal … Brewers lead! 💪
-
The rookies adding value! Milwaukee’s FO looking smart with the long-term contracts for these two players.
-
Lara was a nice addition … good at bats … let’s get that run back
-
83 pitches in three innings. That’s awful. Sproat’s only valid reason for maintaining a rotation spot is he’s healthy. What a disappointment.
-
We need Sproat to give us six innings. It doesn’t look promising for him to cover more than four today. He’s all over the place & throwing far too many uncompetitive pitches.
