Two Years from Now… (WI sports teams ranking)

Yes they do have a good farm system. But if you are trading all star arms and infielders and replacing them with prospects, it’s a rebuild. They may have a great record next year, but their core will be different in 2024 no matter what Arnold says. I said before if the brewers want stadium renovations you really can’t sell all of your best players until it’s done.

People are taking business way too personal. He has never said he won’t come back. You don’t release a free agent a week before his contract is up because he hasn’t made a loyalty pledge yet. Yes, he is probably gone . He has been the longest serving manager is baseball for some time and is easily the best in team history. Brewers are probably going to start rebuild, I can see why that’s not appealing. I’m ok either way.

Two Years from Now… (WI sports teams ranking)
patrickgpe replied to rickh150's topic in Other Sports
First of all I never claimed that MU was as popular or had as large of a fan base as UW. That being said to say that "they aren't a Wisconsin team" or "They are closer to UWGB than UW" is just not correct. The question was ranking Wisconsin teams in the next 2 years. Marquette is set up for a decent run under Shaka and are probably in better shape than most of the "true" Wisconsin teams. -
If CC wants to manage the brewers, he will. Also I hope Counsell makes his thoughts / I t etioms known sooner rather than later. I’m sure he will. Brewers are his hometown team so I don’t think he will leave them hanging. Brewers really can’t do much until they know.

Two Years from Now… (WI sports teams ranking)
patrickgpe replied to rickh150's topic in Other Sports
why is Marquette always excluded as a Wisconsin team? -
I think the solution is pretty simple, a user fee on tickets and using the income tax that is generated to pay for any repairs / new construction. I think we are past the days of building arenas with sales tax increases, it will never be accepted by most of the public.
-
I get that, but again way more restaurants/ stores have gone up in the 20 years the new stadium was built south of the stadium than the deer district is responsible for. Which anyway, that's my argument. While public money has made the owners of the bucks and brewers rich, it has done a lot of good things including increasing the quality of life in the city and spurring development in the area.
-
so what. Fiserv Forum has made the bucks owners RICH. Lasry sold his share of the bucks to Haslem for 3.5 BILLION. The team was sold for 550 million from Kohl. If the argument is that the taxpayers are getting sports owners rich and thats bad, then any development is a bad thing. Also if you drove down 43rd street during the County Stadium days, you will see how much development has occurred by the stadium since Miller Park / AFF was built.
-
I get it, but its literally just the brewers stadiums that seems to be controversial around here. Bucks stadium was built with little controversy. Milwaukee / Wisconsin gives tax subsidies to companies to keep them / attract them all of the time and nobody cares or complains.
-
Here's the problem with this statement / sentiment; People enjoy going to brewers games. The government funds parks and many other things that people enjoy doing. Its a quality of living thing. I grant you, Mark Attanasio has made a LOT of money on the taxpayers of Wisconsin, but for whatever reason about 2.5 million people each summer go to brewers games. The government is building a new museum for 240 million dollars. Contractors will be making a lot of money on this project, there is no complaining on that. We spent 128 million on the Hop that nobody uses, crickets. I can go on.
-
correct. I think a lot of people think its 1994 again and there will be a sales tax increase. It seems like this bill is very similar to what the helped build Fiserv Forum. I don't understand the amount of public outcry.
-
Reading through these comments, it seems like the brewers / legislature / governor has done a horrible job communicating what this bill entails. From my understanding, there will be no new tax increases to pay for these repairs. The majority of the money would be from the projected income taxes that the players pay. I'd be fine with a ticket surcharge to make up any difference, but it sounds like the repairs can be paid for with allocating the tax revenue that the brewers garnish rather than adding an additional tax.
-
First of all I’ll admit that the following trade in a vacuum was to the other guys advantage. i had 5 starting caliber rbs in jt, breece hall, Kenneth walker, Pacheco and swift, my wrs have struggled. Watson is finally healthy but has a rookie wr, Pacua has maybe been figured out and it’s not great that Kupp is back and Adam’s is hurt and has bad quarterbacking, so I traded hall for Metcalf. The rest of the season rankings are in halls favor but I think he can put up some decent numbers and balance my roster a but. Thoughts?

First AP poll out today, MU checks in at #5. This is the highest they have ever been ranked since March of 1978.
-
I hope you are right, I just saw lawmakers opposed to it. I guess we will see on Tuesday and hopefully we can all celebrate it being over with
-
There is no indication that it will pass or not on Tuesday. There has been support and opposition on both sides. I think most of the money is earmarked towards the roof. My guess is amenities like heat were removed to reduce the total cost, but that’s a guess. I would imagine the beer district is dead. Sell outs use the every space in the lot so removing 800 seems foolish. Also the brewers would have to agree to lose the revenue from this spots. personally I think the part of the stadium that the fans see is fine, but I’m sure the roof needs a massive upgrade after 23 seasons of use. The brewers have already committed to a new scoreboard in 2024 on their dime.

Brandon Woodruff has shoulder surgery
patrickgpe replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
either way, its a large decision that the team needs to make he would account for about 8% of the brewers payroll to not pitch. If Arnold and Woody can work something out to avoid arbritation this year and get a prove it deal in 2025, I'm on board. -
Brandon Woodruff has shoulder surgery

They could not offer him arbitration, thus in affect releasing him. -
It does sound promising, but until the last i is dotted I won’t have a celebratory drink. regarding the all star game, I think that ship sailed. I remember complaining about serving hotdogs and brats in the media game. Milwaukee is an awesome city in the summer, but I’d imagine cities with similar aged parks like Chicago or Pittsburgh would be more desirable. Also I know Cleveland is doing renovations this summer, so they would be a candidate. There really hasn’t been that many new parks this decade so that’s probably not the priority it was in the 00’s. off topic, but the it’s the bucks that deserve an all star game.

When was the last manager that the fans actually liked? Yost, Roenicke, Macha, Lopes all had distractors. I don't know you if you can put Garner in that category because expectations were never that large under him. Managers make mistakes and its easy to play manager sitting on your sofa with a beer. The brewers never achieved the ultimate goal under Counsell (if he is indeed gone), but they had success not really seen. I'm expecting a rebuild starting next season with some starters traded and a new manager. Also the pool of up and coming managers seems to be light, so those celebrating the end of Counsell, should be careful what they wish for.
-
I really never get too upset or excited about sports anymore. I enjoy watching and was disappointed with how things went, but life goes on. Guess its a product of getting older and going to games for 35 years.
-
I hate the London games too, makes it hard to set a lineup with all of the game time decisions
-
@jerichoholicninjai agree that Cook is the player to sit.
