Alright, 2-0 isn’t totally safe but it’s better than 1.
-
You should yell at that cloud. He’s dealing, his pitch count isn’t high and sitting him down after 6 is a mistake by Murphy.
-
Damn. I thought he got plenty of that.
-
I don’t see any reason not to try to push Priester through 7.
-
I’m about over the dude. Lost at the plate and then garbage like that in the field.
-
Gotta turn that, Joey. That should’ve been easy.
-
Yelich looks rough tonight.
-
A brief moment of sadness washed over me as I read the words “old timer” and then recognized the name.
-
Below the Mendoza line
-
To put it this way, if the Brewers acquire a 3B at the trade deadline, Caleb isn’t going to be the odd man out.
-
The Brewers knew what they were doing when they targeted Durbin from the Yankees in the Devin Williams deal.
-
Freeman running off the field and Dodgers like “duh, should we challenge?”
-
Wow, I’ll take that!
-
He hasn’t played in 5 years and he was on the decline then. He’s 41. I don’t think it would be pretty.
-
They’re going to call that a hit?
-
Not much offense against Glasnow so far.
-
Yeah, AI has a way to go. ChatGPT will just flat out make something up if it doesn’t know.
-
ChatGPT says zero. Course, they also apparently think Skenes is a Met, so take it with a grain of salt.
-
Would ruin Priester’s incoming perfect game
-
Asking for another sweep this time in L.A is probably getting too greedy — though we did sweep in Philly! A series win would be fantastic. At least a single win would clinch the tiebreaker for seeding with the Dodgers should that come into play at the end of the season, so let’s at least have that.

Really? Counsell got absolutely raked over the coals for leaving for the money. Fans have absolutely criticized Adames too, even here. The whole point of this thread was someone hypothetically criticizing Woodruff. If you’re not finding ANY former Brewer players who get criticized for leaving for more money and get accused of lack of “loyalty”, you’re not really looking. So yeah, I totally disagree. Does Mark A get accused of being cheap? Yeah, I suppose he often does, by more of the casual fans. Does he get accused of not showing “loyalty” to a player? Not really. Did anyone accuse of him of not being loyal to Adames because he didn’t match the Giants’ offer? I’d say a player leading for more money is typically subject to much more scrutiny on average than Mark A is for not paying said individual player. The whole point of any of this was that Mark Attanasio is richer than all of the Brewer players combined and Brandon Woodruff owes him nothing.
-
Wasn’t really the point of what I posted. I wasn’t implying that the owners of the team could borrow against their value, but their net worth still increases accordingly to their in proportion to the increase in value of their asset. It's just about the irony of bemoaning players for prioritizing money over loyalty when the guys writing the checks are far richer and rarely get subjected to the same criticism. Nothing more.
-
This. I always get a kick out of the “where’s the loyalty from this greedy millionaire” arguments. Meanwhile the ones who aren’t willing to match the best offer at the other side of the table is the ownership group who has seen the value of the team more than double from 600M in 2014 to 1.4 billion in 2024. On top of annual operating profits.
-
The same as when any other player not named Jesse Winker leaves the Brewers. Thank you for the memories, wish you the best. Your original post seems to imply that the Brewers did Woodruff a huge favor with the contract, but it was a business decision, just like non-tendering him in the first place was a business decision. They did it because they knew if he got healthy they could potentially get the production out of him that they have so far.
-
So you think he just totally made it up. What earthly reason would he have to do that? Brandon Woodruff has been about as much of a class act as can be in Milwaukee and has provided far, far more in total value than $32M to the Brewers organization over the course of his career. Forgive me if I can’t quite buy into the theory that he and his family now “owe” the Brewers because billionaire Mark Attanasio found it in his heart to scrounge up enough coin to take a rehab shot on him. It was a situation that made sense for both sides, nothing more. It’s clear that you posted this looking for validation, not debate, and when you didn’t get that validation you’ve ignored all evidence that people have presented that is contrary to your argument.
