I've been on the various iterations of this board since Wendy was in charge and I'll stand by my comment. Maybe it's just that the loudest voices in opposition to the F.O. tend to be consistent and persistent in their criticism of owners and F.O. (Mark A is cheap, etc). In addition to pretty much EVERY manager this century. The Crew are winning IN SPITE OF 2- time manager of the year Murphy seems to be the consensus opinion. If you think it's 95% positive, then I don't know what to tell you.

I increased the brightness on my iPad because it was dark.

Frankly, this board does WAY MORE criticizing the front office than praising it. Which seems weird given how they've positioned the smallest market team in the league year after year.

There's an awful lot of "guarantee"ing by some posters in this thread. As opposed to "guessing, when I couldn't possibly have any insight into the actual workings of the F.O."

He's pitched back to back multiple times this season. With an off day Thursday he's completely available tomorrow.

Respect the game!

To paraphrase The Sure Thing... "I have...a challenge" "You have a challenge?" "Yeah, but my dad says I can only use it in an emergency" "Well, maybe one will show up..."

4 runs is the magic number. HUGE W/L advantage if we get 4. Losing record with 3 or fewer.

There's gotta be one, but I'm gonna wait for the new season of Whipping Boy Idol!

Dodgers cannot be killed by conventional weapons!

This move might work, it might not. However, to suggest, as some here have, that Boston is some sort of powerhouse of baseball strategy is laughable. The Devers saga was handled badly, they have consistently underperformed relative to their budget in the last few years, and the Priester trade, for one, looks lopsided. Brewers FO has targeted market inefficiencies, and defense and speed over raw power, (at power positions),it seems. Until it doesn't work, it's working.

Dodgers fan in "Don't blame the Dodgers, look at this shiny thing over here" rant. Here's Tom with the weather...

I thought, for sure, it was gonna be one of the posters here on Brewerfan that would win it, based on how they would have done things differently! ;)

I've been on this board, and its other iteration, for over 20 years. I've always believed it to be such a cop-out to be a Chicken Little pessimist. The Brewers win - much happiness ensues. The Brewers lose - see, I told you so, ain't I smart. But, flags fly forever, David does sometimes beat Goliath. As long as we have a chip and a chair, there's hope. Go Brewers, and stop coming at me with those negative waves, Moriarty!

Yeah, the first 10 posts saying the same thing kinda gave that away....
