Oso planning to go pro
The Crew needs to be able to beat crappy teams. I believe they were 10-3 vs. the Nats, Dodgers, Cubs, and Cards. It is the lousy teams that are the problem.
With the Rockies not letting up against the Dodgers, it's shaping up that the three-way race between the Brewers, Cardinals and Cubs will be one where there are no points for second place.
Brewers gonna put out a little prick tease. Den, leave ya high and dry?
Honestly, nobody feels that way at all. Crew is a highly competitive team with a $60M payroll. Thrilled to be playing September ball.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
You're obsessed with the payroll being a factor....why? If it was $95 million would you still be happy? $125 million? Does it matter?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
First, know your facts.http://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/mlb/brewers/2017/09/09/haudricourt-lowest-payroll-among-contenders-brewers-got-bang-their-bucks/639961001/
If you would like the Cubs to trade payroll capacity with the Brewers, I'm sure that the Brewers would be open to that.
Some of you forget that baseball is a business. Wins and losses aren't the only metrics for success.
The Brewers have payroll capacity and have spent big bucks when necessary before. I don't think that's an issue.
The Brewers could not give 15% of their payroll to Matt Garza. That may help.
The ONLY way the Crew wins if is they have home grown talent.
AND they could pay up. The Brewers had a Top 10 payroll as recently as 2012.
You all battle over the dumbest things...The Brewers are a young team with a decent farm system. They have way outperformed what they were supposed to do and made the nl central a competitive division.However it's baseball. Some teams that are really really good can go cold for an entire season (the cubs). And it's the same the other way. Some teams get really hot for a year and then go back to non competitive. It's the multi year strings that really make a team (cards). If you can get success 3/4 years your team is insane. I believe the most fatal flaw for Milwaukee was Sterns not trading away thames while he had value.
I do know the facts, the payroll is currently almost $83 million. Opening Day is different.http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/payroll/
