2023 MLB Thread

[CreightonWarrior]

Since game 7 of the 2018 NLCS, the brewers have out 98 guys on base, only 17 of those have scored. Brutal.

Opinions are like ass holes. Everyone's got one, aina?

Yes true.  If you'd like to wager that Counsell is fired I'd take you more seriously.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Counsell will not be fired.  That doesn't mean that he'll be here next season

[HutchwasClutch]

He has no contact after their season ended last night. It couldn't be a firing. Besides, Attanasio has publicly said he wants him back.  So his being fired or not is a complete non argument to have however you look at it.

[Uncle Rico]

Yes true.  If you'd like to wager that Counsell is fired I'd take you more seriously.

I think he's gone as well.  Definitely won't be fired, nor should he, but feels like this may have run its course in his mind.

I'm ok with that.  I trust this FO to not do a sentimental hire and get the best person for the job.

It's pretty obvious you're talking about Tony LaRussa, no need to he cryptic.

I do have an ex-Cardinal manager in mind but he's definitely not the one

Oh I like your thinking. Trade Contreras, get Molina out of retirement to be player-coach. Brewers desperately need to get back to the roots of baseball.

Bryan man, he's a free agent, aina?

Mike Matheny come on down!

Here ya go Bro:
I will wager a gift box of 4 caramel apples from Amy's in Cedarburg that Craig Counsell will not be the on field manager of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2024 for whatever reason that is publicly announced. This wager will remain in effect until either Counsell moves to another team in any capacity, retires, is fired, or resigns as manager of the Brewers. Should he accept any other job with the Milwaukee Brewers, other than manager, this wager becomes null and void.

I'll accept... but aren't sweets and carbs a no no?

While I appreciate the pro se contract drafting efforts here, I'm confused by why you are so steadfastly including "is fired" in your list of contingencies. He's not currently employed by the Brewers for 2024. They don't have to fire him for him not to manage for them next year.

[4everwarriors]

You're right, just inserted that to poke Hards. BTW, I'd make a chitty attorney, aina?

[cheebs09]

If I was a betting person, I'd put money on him not managing the Brewers next year and getting a job in the front office. He was in the front office before becoming manager.

I would be surprised if he managed in New York. His son is playing college baseball and he still has kids in high school.

I'm grain-free, chocolate-free, and nut-free. So, if I win, please send only plain caramel apples. Thank you, hey?

Not the Mike I'm thinking of

Counsel will not be fired. Period.

I agree he's going to step away from field manager for at least next year and maybe longer for the family reasons you stated.  His refusal to sign any extension is very telling of his likely intentions. That's almost unheard of nowadays. And I'm pretty sure he's come out and said about being able to watch and follow his kids in their sports.
