SilverBullet Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 So with the addition of Yelich and Cain and with the hope that they add a solid starting pitcher soon, anyone else gonna keep an extra eye on the Brewers this year? I'm not talking jumping ship from the Marlins and becoming a full blown bandwagon fan but every season I usually have an interesting extra team that I pay some extra attention to and today these Brewers became pretty intriguing to me. If it's not them, anyone have any better suggestions?   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 No other team. We are 0-0 like every other team and we are going to win the World Series.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 No other team. We are 0-0 like every other team and we are going to win the World Series. That's true. Also, don't the other teams have a lot of toolsy players who could die before Opening Day?   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 That's true. Also, don't the other teams have a lot of toolsy players who could die before Opening Day?  We could be the last team standing especially considering how young we’re going to be. These older teams are more likely to have players die.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelich makes the Brewers interesting but so does Cain and their potential upgrades to the rotation. They'd make a more fun story to follow than the other 3 teams to me.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont have that top of the rotation guy.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish20 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 In regards to the actual topic of the thread, i dont do secondary teams. Ive never understood being able to do that. Wish i could but i grew up down here. Id love the ability to change my allegiances. It would have made the NFL not as miserable for me. NHL too. and of course the marlins. but now im stuck.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 i dont do secondary teams. Ive never understood being able to do that. I really just meant checking the daily scores and reading a few extra articles about the secondary team. I'm still a Marlins fan 100% above and beyond all others. Didn't mean I was moving to Milwaukee and buying a boat load of Brewers merchandise. Some teams just have fun stories to follow in different years. Just wanted to clarify that.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piazza31 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I'm so fucking tired of this shitshow this offseason. 1998 I became a real fan, hence my unhealthy infatuation with that season. *Fuck Pimpleface* 2005 I understood but was upset. *They tired to keep it together as best they could cheaply* 2012 I wanted to happen *Fuck Bell, HanRam and Reyes* 2017? This shit hurts- way more than the others ever did. Stanton, Yelich, Ozuna and Realmuto and Bour had the potential to be a solid core, and deserved one more year to see what they could do. Jose doing dumb shit ruined this team- and it never recovered or even had a chance to get out from under his shadow. Next year was supposed to be that year. It really fucking sucks.... atleast I have the Mets and A's to look forward to. (Stanton in NY too, hopefully he demolishes the Judges Chambers)  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we are now means we're already closer to the next contending Marlins team than we would have been without trading those guys away.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
