17% of the Brewers' Home Opener is Already Shot to Hell

Submitted by Cubnut on

From coverage of this afternoon's Cubs/Brewers game, Milwaukee's home opener, in Friday's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Truth be told, the Brewers and many of their fans would probably prefer a team other than the Cubs coming to town for the opening series of the season. That's because the home opener is normally a sellout, whether it's the Washington Nationals or the Pittsburgh Pirates. Plus, Brewers fans would rather see their home park filled with Brewers fans, not Cubs fans...

The question...is how many Cubs fans found a way to get a ticket to the game. At times, Miller Park has been known as Wrigley North when the two teams meet in a series.

[Rick Schlesinger, executive vice president of business operations for the Brewers] said that for the three-game Cubs series, 9% of the tickets sold by the team came from people with Illinois ZIP codes.

StubHub, which is Major League Baseball's official secondary ticket provider, reported Thursday that buyers from 32 states had bought tickets to Friday's game. Seventy-five percent of them came from Wisconsin, 17% came from Illinois, and 1% each came from Iowa, Indiana and Michigan, among others.

I'll be looking for you 17% on the broadcast. Be loud. Be proud. And please let the vehicle you urinate next to in the parking lot after the game be your own.

I love tailgating, and my favorite tailgate stadium in MLB is definitely Milwaukee. I've been to Miller at least once a year since 2003 and plan to go back May 9. That said, dealing with Brewers fans in the parking lot can be a little trying. They like to think they own the right to tailgate. They think shouting derogatory things about the Bears somehow gives them bragging rights in June. Last year, a young lady - possibly drunk - came over and actually had the nerve to tell us we were idiots for eating our sausages on sandwich buns. We calmly tried to explain that they were not sausages but in fact whole flatiron steaks smothered in mushrooms and onions, but I'm not sure it made any sense (or difference) to her. So yes, invading Milwaukee is one of the great joys of Cub fandom. While you can always count on Sox fans to show up at Wrigley with relatively the same force as we can at the Cell, there's no comparison between Cubs-Brewers - we travel way better, and that really, really pisses them off.

As a Cubs fan now living in the Cincinnati area, I can tell you the local fans, radio station and Reds owner do nothing but bitch about the number of Cubs fans that show up for games. I usually tell them they shouldn't cry about the sea of Cubs blue, they should be looking at the Green-the Money we bring to the city and which also goes to their team. Milwaukee makes it hard not to go: it's easier to get to than Wrigley, the beer is great, no rainouts, the brats are great, they do a good job presenting a baseball game ("Beer Barrel Polka" during the 7th inning)and of course, the tailgaiting. I understand it sucks to be the hometeam and outnumbered by the visiting fans; hell, look at what we have to put up with at every game at Wrigley. And then when tourists go and act asshole-ish-they're tagged as Cubs fans. Every team charges more for the Cubs games and we still come. We cannot be stopped. Bwahaha.

I was at the game Friday, and let me report that the Brewers fans are becoming worse with each series. Back in 2003, I remember going to a game, and leaving after 1-0 Brewers win, and the fans were not total assholes about it. The last 3 years however have seen a steady-rise in moronizing. Except for the few friendly people around me I was elbowed going to and from my seat to the bathrooms, threatened once I got to the bathroom (and go figure it was because I had a Cubs jersey on...the dude threatening me was from Iowa of all places, and a kind Brewers fan stepped in and told the guy to take a shit or he'd be eating one). Lastly, the large migration over the bridge and to our cars, while not fisticuffs were going on as much as I know, the Brewers fans acted like they just made the playoffs (and some were actually saying that they just won the championship). Too bad after the game both teams were tied with 2 wins and 2 losses...oh yeah, and that each team still had over 150 games left to play. I predicted yesturday that Sat/Sun will bring in more Cubs fans, and I hope that is the case.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

    I’m at the game—woot!

    If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.

  • Cubster (view)

    Brewers lose Wade Miley to Tommy John surgery.

  • crunch (view)

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

  • Cubster (view)

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.
