Again, beautifully written critique of our manager -
This beautifully summarizes my view of our manager
-
I don’t see your post or mine … is that intentional or an accident.
-
The beauty of a forum - different opinions shared respectfully. I like that about you.
-
He’s been well compensated for his contributions of yesteryear. He’s hurting the team in his present inability to perform at even an average level. I’m grateful for how awesome he was in his prime, but he is so far below average right now that he needs to sit or go on the IL & mentally rehab. The last three years of his contract are going to be brutal unless MA & Arnold agree to cut their losses & eat that abysmal contract.
-
Because Murphy managed poorly again today, we go into Pittsburgh to face an inferior team with our bullpen burned out. In order to win this weekend, we need to make some roster adjustments & get rid of some of the bottom of the roster players. An IL stint for a player or two may be necessary as well.
-
Today’s game is another example of “wasting time” on a team that is mediocre at best. I pray management doesn’t trade for a stopgap player (or two) to address their many shortcomings. The time to do that was the offseason. Please FO - don’t panic & send any quality prospects to other teams as a bandaid for cancer. Let this team sink, get a better draft pick, & reconvene in 2026.

Ruined another nice start by Patrick He has pitched much better than his record indicates Today’s loss is on the manager
-
Replace the phrase “much improved” with “better served”
-
It happened last year too … but the team was better & covered several of his poor decisions.
-
I disagree. Not only is he “just an employee” he is an “underperforming employee.” Pride & yesterday’s contributions cannot factor in to today’s decisions. We are losing games because no one has the backbone to make essential, hard decisions.
-
I despise the decision to put Payamps in when the game was winnable. That is 100% on Murphy. This loss (as well as several others) is completely on him.
-
Why is a conversation (to get permission) necessary? He is an employee & Murphy is his boss. He needs to be “informed” of the decision & it should be a short conversation.
-
We would be much improved if he (a) spent significant time on the bench, & (b) was moved to the bottom of the order IF he has to play
-
Here’s the song that comes to mind when I watch Yelich bat these days: https://youtu.be/EQN3gvu9oZo?si=Oxz83-lab_nAA8D7
-
Why on earth would Murphy put Payamps in that situation? How could he risk this game as if it didn’t matter & could be the won away? His daily decisions with lineups & pitching changes are terrible … especially the pitching changes - it’s like he’s reaching into a hat & drawing out a name. If his in game decisions were as good as his baseball experience & résumé, Milwaukee might have won 3-4 more games this year. He’s got a terrific personality & he’s a fun interview … but I’m ready for another skipper. And yes, I know he won manager of the year in 2024, but I don’t believe he is a good field manager … at all.

During games - in between innings
-
I had a near identical post prepared but deleted it when I saw this one
-
Joey is so overdue for a big hit This would be a great time
-
If not Megill in the 9th (3rd day in a row) … is it Uribe?
-
But he’s hitting the ball hard …
-
I can’t put my finger on exactly why, but there’s something about the 2025 Brewers that is not enjoyable. I love baseball & I love the Brewers, but I seem to feel angry or agitated or frustrated (more often than not) when tuning into their games. Am I the only one? I feel like I’m wasting time rather than investing time in watching this team.

Chourio is not a MLB centerfielder
