Used to do it at the stadium in March…remember the one in 2008 where Attanasio declared, “90 wins and 3 million fans”…and he was right.
-
I hope you are right, but I think he is gone. Right now, he is still a feel good story. And overall, he is still thought of very favorably around the state. Yet, he knows 1-9 in playoff series is not good and he is close to being turned on by all if playoff clunkers continue. He also knows it is going to be much tougher even getting to playoffs over next couple years with Brewers and worse SP. Leaving now allows him to go elsewhere for big bucks METS, get whatever resources and FA he wants, and chase WS yearly. Then, he STILL would be welcomed back to manage Milwaukee years later.
-
Cheering on Big10 teams? Nah… maybe a few, but Ohio State? Izzy? Come now…The last thing WI needs is for a rival to look good or better than the Badgers on the recruiting trail.
-
Gamble….big gamble with shoulder
-
Brewers likely wouldn’t let CC interview elsewhere until after Oct. 31, right?
-
If you believe 35 footers are good use of a shot in basketball, other than end of shot clock scenario, then I don’t have much to add. Rarely do I see a need to chuck it, regardless of star shooter status….sure looks cool when it goes in, though. Oh and I expect him to improve defensively… or at least they scheme a way to where he is not a glaring undersized weakness. Guard a spot shooter, make him double down, or pick/rolls they double Dame’s man. Something.
-
Yes. Create more for others. Yes. He has a loaded team, unlike forever for him.
-
Boy, lots of reaction to not having Dame chuck 35 footers and pass the ball a little more. I’d better not suggest that he clean up his perimeter defensive footwork.
-
Then "cut" the Brewers from Wisconsin..... it's the cost for professional sports. If that is what you are saying, then fine. If not, you are living in a different reality. Cities and counties and states need to support the team or they are headed to a different place where there will be support. I respect your opinion and agree with it. I just would hate losing the Brewers to Nashville

On Bad team, scoring 30 is not equal to scoring 30 On Good team. He was forced to score and often threw up bad shots because it was the best option at end of shot clock. He was the offense in Portland. Dame better get used to being a facilitator to a better player and a better shooter on his own team. That would be good offense. Chucking extra long 3’s on the break? Say goodbye to that part of your game and get your unselfish on to avg 10 assists a game. Let the game come to you. Hit the open three in flow of game and take control at end of shot clock.
-
Not a fan of Dame's game....the Bucks offense had a certain flow to it. When Dame gets the ball, it's pause...step fake....pause.....fade away contested shot. I can see just from preseason that this is going to rub some the wrong way. It ticked me off immediately and I'm not playing. If it's end of shot clock, ok....but we don't need him scoring 30. He needs to score 20, DEFEND, and work on his passing skills.....even if, for horror, it doesn't result in an assist.
-
Who are they in the running for yet?
-
As of today, I would rank these WI based programs, in terms of current success (not historical, just presently) in the following order… Bucks (top 5 team in NBA) Brewers (92 game winner NL Central Champ) Badger Basketball (Veteran returning group… talented freshmen and toolsy transfers… NCAAtourney team) Badger Football (Pretty typical… over .500 record and weaker bowl game) Packers (.500 hopeful in rebuilding phase) However, in two years, I think this order is blown up a bit. I actually go this route.. Packers (Jordan Love’s third starting year…young nucleus. Super Bowl hopes) Badger Football (the coach is real and the recruits, now juniors and seniors in high school are real…real players in the new Big Ten). Brewers (The youngsters continue to blossom and new stars Continue to put us in playoff contention… Wild Card winner that advance far in playoffs). Badger Basketball (top 5 Big Ten team) Bucks (Giannis bolts and rebuild is on) You?
-
Those are guaranteed $ you are speaking of… and a blown throwing shoulder. And a multi year plan? And saying casually it’s just 10 mil? Just pass on all of it. A cheaper deal built on Incentive laden language… sure. I have no allegiance to Woodruff. Great Brewer, sure. He would jump at the highest dollar and get out of here if he were to be a healthy FA. And like others speculate, the idea of long term Brewer probably floated past him a couple years ago to no avail.
-
And then asked to stomach 2023 Winker..,, and in playoffs. Too much.
-
I won’t be in the camp of the Brewers ruined him since he excelled most of the time here over his last two years. I won’t go over 2023 AAA or 2022 MLB because again since the hard stats make the Brewers look silly with the way they managed DH and Hiura. He arguably was a top 5-10 bat in the organization, and the DH position still wasn’t enough to make up for below avg defense.
-
And thank you… this makes sense.
-
Feel uncomfortable giving him any multi year deal….he coulda shoulda signed a below market to stay long term… speculating Brewers would have been interested in that a couple years ago. Cold and harsh, sure. But paying an injured pitcher guaranteed money is a no. Incentive laden? Maybe. But it’s the guy’s shoulder.
-
Wanting Woodruff back now? No way. Sad, he’s done a lot for us, but no. No two year deal. He can only take what a 20% cut in pay in 2024, correct? I wouldn’t be comfortable with even a two year, $15 million dollar deal hoping he comes back to pitch in 25. Two risky for a small market.
-
I thought the same until he said he “expects him to be here next year.” Again, I think he is gone but I cannot go the 100% route. Maybe 80%.
-
And maybe they were so stubborn they didn’t want to lose face by bringing him up mid or late season. And maybe the team blew it by trying out 20 some DH instead of their best hitter in AAA? Or maybe they were happy with their 2023 DH output?
-
Then again…How about Matt McClain straight up for a year of Burnes?
-
For a year of Burnes, I would expect a couple of top 100 prospect in AA/AAA and change….. maybe not any in top 10, but if we are looking for a return I hope we are aiming for quality young players on the crisp of the majors.
-
Tough to say rare when it’s happened twice in just the last few months…it can happen and does happen. Throw in Lance Lynn to the Dodgers. It was a limited list no trade clause, but Dodgers were on it. It’s not an absolute barrier if let’s say the team trades top two pitchers and manager walks… he may even want to go elsewhere or nearer to home if that happens. And why would the Brewers have to eat any of the contract if it isn’t a bad contract? If it’s a bad contract, then yeah, the team would have to throw in money to get a fair return. If it is a good contract like some believe, then they wouldn’t. You see the double talk. And the Brewers wouldn’t be looking to add a 20 million dollar outfield FA answer to trading Yelich. They have plenty of OF options on the cheap, including one of the best outfield prospects in baseball projected to play in 2024 and other players looking for playing time too. The short term production would be sacrificed. Yet, if we are retooling and transitioning this year, it makes total cents to be open to this possibility of trading Yelich. The money could be used on other positions or to extend current young players (Contreras). The amazing thing in all this is that some seem to believe the last years of Yelich in Milwaukee (26-28) would be good bang for the buck.

Aaaaaaaayyy.
