This is actually a good joke and I take it in stride. But when we took over this site, it was in wild decline. It would not have lasted three more years given its current rate of decline. We've had more registrations in the past 12 months than the previous 36 months combined. Our user count is where the site was in 2018, which is literally triple the count it was in 2021. If you like this site and want it to continue to exist, this is the path forward. Feel free to tell me I’m an idiot and tell me all the things I’m doing wrong and I’ll listen every time. But also realize this site you love wouldn’t exist for much longer without our influx of cash and stewardship. -
Maybe. But also if it frees up money to lock down the emerging players for 8+ years, that’s something fans can get behind.
-
You know, you’re right. The last paragraph was unnecessary. I’ll delete it immediately. I also get frustrated and mad. This is my business. But I also try to acknowledge when I’m wrong. And I was wrong for that.
-
It's absolutely not my job to tell you how to feel about a player. It's absolutely my job to talk to you about how you voice those opinions on my website, especially when it comes to the detriment of other users.
-
Actually, that's very polite. What do you think that word means?

DAMN YOU BOOB NIGHTENGALE

Listen, I've been running communities for 20 years now so I'm going to address this directly: Never once in 20 years have I said "be positive all the time". If you look at my post history, I'm quite eager to pile on when things go badly. What you said here is a strawman that deserves no consideration. What I'm actually saying is this. Read this new thread. And no, it's not about you, it's about running a healthy community. You're just a cog in the machine, the same as me. But ultimately, all those cogs matter in the grand scheme of things.

If you're saying that Yelich should probably be benched against LHP, I'd agree... had the front office actually acquired more RHB players this offseason. It was something I was clamoring for but they didn't give outfield coverage against LHP.
-
Yelich is no longer a good player, I agree with that. He's basically an acceptable MLB starter at this point. And yes, I'm going to continue to be bothered by these posts because it's my job to make sure this site stays functional and welcoming to users, as I literally own it. I'm very politely asking you to check how you're coming across, yet you respond in a quite rude way.

Listen, literally the most complaints I get from users are about the game threads. It's a persistent problem but one that is hard to solve because we're all fans and we're passionate about the Brewers. That's not only okay, it's great! That's literally why you're all here and allowing this site to exist! But the negativity is a problem. So let me frame this in a way that I think might be beneficial to everyone and the site as a whole. Be mad when something goes wrong. You're a fan, that's fine! But if you want to grind out against a player - I'm just going to be blunt here and say Christian Yelich - keep it mostly out of the game threads if he just makes a routine out. Instead, if you have something to say about a player, create a thread about it. Voice your opinion about the player and then talk to other users about it. You'll get pushback, you'll get agreement, you'll get a focused conversation about that topic. But grinding out 162 with continual, repetitive negativity in game threads is going to force us to take action. That's the worst and most boring option we have. Please please PLEASE don't make us do this. You're all fans, you're all passionate. That's amazing, I love that about you. But stop to think whether you've already ground that axe to a nub on a particular subject before going whole-hog on it in a game thread. We're all here to enjoy Brewers baseball, let's make the experience something other than awful.

And let’s couch that with the fact league average BA was something like .240 last season.
-
Which is why I advocated for the Brewers to pick up Kyle Garlick on waivers instead of allowing him to go back to the Twins as a minor leaguer.
-
Pretty sure you mean “phoning it in” but given tonight’s game, your version is way funnier.
-
This doesn’t solve anything, though. Yelich is still a capable baseball player and the Brewers are paying his salary no matter what. The team is likely 6-2 after tonight. Let’s take a deep breath together. 162 games.
-
It’s been a fun first week+ of the season in the upper Midwest.
-
There’s so little upside in doing so. Most good lefties struggle to be more than “acceptable” against LHP.
-
Hard to complain too much that it appears the team is going to “fall” to 6-2 tonight.
-
Also check out Shrinking if you haven’t already watched it. Apple TV+ has the greatest bang for buck in streaming right now.
-
Can’t watch tonight’s game, it appears I’m not missing much.
-
Super hard sell.
-
Let's win this series, boys.
-
Batton down the hatches, Pirates are a comin’!
-
I’d like to take this moment to remind everyone that this team just beat their biggest rival and is now 6-1, literally the best record in the league.
-
Let’s all ease up a little bit.
-
Yes. But it also creates the issue that they'd come up again in the ninth. The seventh is a tricky issue...
