brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 15/10/2026We had him just last year also against the dodgers as a matter of fact 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Pat is a very good manager and nearly all the levers he has pulled have worked to this point and so you won’t see me ripping on him BUT, he likes to ride his good relievers a little too hard and even does it in the regular season. He’s got a bit of a “circle of trust” he doesn’t like to buck 220 2
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Sometimes I feel like game 1 of the 2021 NLDS was completely a product of my imagination 000 0
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Primary takeaway for me is recent brewers postseason teams of yore would probably be up there waving away and striking out in a very frustrating manner, unable to do anything as they get mowed down That these guys aren’t doing that and mostly haven’t all series is very encouraging 0121 12
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Seemed to be precisely what he was doing, to a fault lol 200 2
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026He did some respectable heel work in the process of hitting that home run 020 2
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Murph also knows that a postseason mid-count pull is the most fitting and narratively satisfying thing to show up on this team’s championship documentary, smart man 020 2
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I thought the same about the frelick double play against the dodgers I fear 130 3
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Gotta remind myself that even great badgers teams of yore would have QBs making decisions and throws like these at times and so it isn’t that unique 200 2
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I was gonna say he gets brief reprieve but that the fire Fickell watch would be back if they struggle tomorrow, but this game makes Penn state look so bad that we may have to retroactively be upset it took the comeback to win last week 100 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Alternatively, the brewers scrap out a long and difficult series win only to see the dodgers who waltzed their way to the NLCS and well, you know the rest 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Even less certain, how’s Pat going to spin this one into manufacturing perceived slights?? 101 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Is it bad if my first thought earlier today was “imagine tanner Mordecai with this offense” 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Alternatively I’m wondering how nice/helpful it would be to Jordan Love if he happened to have a guy like Davante Adams around 000 0
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I have to guess the line would make it hard for even a simple play action to have time to develop 110 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Well he did to start the drive but it nearly got Christian Watson killed 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Last I remember actually watching him in a game he ran for quite a few yards straight forward, to my memory (that would be when he went for 135 and 3 TDs on Wisconsin) 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Many are wondering if the Packers are wasting Daniel Whelan’s prime 084 8
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026“Oh god oh fuck what is he going to say about me on the Badgers Ball Knower™️ Substack this week” 032 3
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I just wonder how they plan to fit even one player in the stadium let alone the whole team the way things look there 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Are we sure the “lost H2H to Luke Fickell” weight hanging around his neck doesn’t raise questions 110 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yelich suddenly hitting like this again would put things into some real interesting territory moving forward for the brewers 030 3
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Since fully believing this to be the case the second the Woodruff homer off Kershaw happened in the NLDS I’ve told myself to never allow such silly thoughts in ever again. And yet 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 07/09/2026lol this is probably right but my initial thought was Joseph got his bell rung on he hit and they had to give him extra time to get his bearings 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026This kind of managing style also pleases the most annoying archetype of internet sports fan you know of (those that think managing or coaching professional sports exactly the same way they got coached in high school decades ago is good) 000 0
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026All of this makes more sense when you remember that Murph believes pitchers to be subhuman, undeserving of basic rights 000 0
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Also is it wrong to say he’d have gotten himself drafted with little issue if he simply went pro after his year at Wisconsin? 100 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I saw some folks saying last night was a good example of the shortcomings of run differential but here the brewers are immediately showing how the stat ends up evening out and being pretty useful over the course of a season 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Just in time to kill his trade value this winter amirite 000 0
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 12/08/2026My audible “aw, sick” when I saw the notification the brewers signed him before the season vindicated yet again 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Depending on how the brewers and cubs finish the season, the setup for some absolutely rancid back half of the season vibes among brewers fans is here (setting aside how I feel about what the teams did on the merits) 110 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Will be amazing if nothing else happens and the brewers found a way to piss everyone off with this (the prospect huggers, for trading guys with legit upside for rentals, and the win now trade demanders, for making an unsexy trade/not for Skubal) 150 5
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Also it’s pretty obvious the dodgers know they’re getting a longer term asset by trading for skubal while everyone else knows they’re getting 2 months of him 110 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 22/07/2026comes at the small price of loud fans always complaining that they “never go all in” which is definitely why they always lose in October along with 28 other teams 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 09/07/2026This is just payback for the ribbon boards at miller park 011 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 30/06/2026You’ll come around when the Culver’s patch is displayed loud and proud on Jack Sorgi’s jersey as he’s holding up his first big ten championship trophy 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Every team needs the head of the municipal sanitation department 010 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 24/06/2026It probably makes little actual sense but psychologically I’m way more fine with him having been picked at 13 rather than 10 110 1
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Current Giannis also was going to leave for nothing after one more season if they didn’t trade him so the mystery boxes at least exceed what they’d have had 2027 and beyond I’d certainly not begrudge anyone for feeling any return for giannis was light but you just cannot let him walk 131 3
brock @bbruehlman.bsky.social · 23/06/2026The entire last season was giannis doing all he could to maintain being the “good guy” Resulted in some occasionally absurd quotes like that one time he said he didn’t control what his agent decided to do or something to that effect 020 2
