Milwaukee Brewers owner and manager should apologize to their Yankee peers for "horseshit" remark.

Milwaukee Brewers manager (Pat Murphy) should apologize and be disciplined for unprovoked "horseshit" Yankees attack.  Friday, October 30, 2026

Murphy was talking about the one season (2023) that his first baseman Jake Bauers played for the Yankees: 84 games, 272 PA, OPS+ 87. The Yankees 2023 record was 82-80 but they won the AL pennant the next season, losing to the Dodgers in the World Series.

Search result:

The Milwaukee Brewers are owned by American businessman Mark Attanasio, who serves as the franchise's principal owner and chairman.

Tenure: Attanasio purchased the team from the family of former MLB Commissioner Bud Selig in 2004 (with the sale finalized in 2005).

_______________________

Mark Attanasio should have already contacted Yankee owner and managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner and apologized for the comments made by the Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy on the Tampa playing field during the team's celebration after winning the 2026 World Series. Murphy used the phrase "horeshit Yankees", obviously intending it to be negative.

Nor has the culprit, Pat Murphy, made any public or private apology, including to Yankee manager Aaron Boone. Supposedly Murphy didn't know that someone recorded him, apparently with a cell phone. Murphy said it out loud to Jake Bauers in the middle of the Tampa baseball park. The two were laughing it up.

Murphy indirectly insulted Yankee captain Aaron Judge who played only 106 games in 2023 due to injury. In 2026 Judge played only 66 regular season games (285 Plate Appearances) due to injuries that flared up at the end of the season and caused him to not play in any playoff games. Despite that, the Yankees won the second most AL games.

The first Yankee I saw hit a home run in person was Mickey Mantle. The second was by Yogi Berra in the same game. Yogi's was a walk off. I am a Yankee fan.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, do it. Show some unexpected class and call this former nobody into your office and let him have it. Come on.

I am a Yankees fan. This morning I heard 67 year old Milwaukee Brewers manager (Pat Murphy, in case you still don't know his name.) celebrating on the field after Milwaukee defeated Tampa in the 2026 World Series as follows:

here's what Murphy told Bauers:

"You're going to be a rich f***er. Just remember when you're on that horses*** Yankees team (2023) and you're all playing for yourselves, just remember this is the way we used to do it."

Nice, uh? The language alone is cause for discipline. He knew he was on TV.

I have been calling for Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman to be fired for more than a decade. Here is a post with my basic reason:

Yankees payroll with Brian Cashman as general manager 2001-2025: highest in American League in 22 of 25 years.  Friday, October 10, 2025

The Yankees won the World Series in 2000 and in 2009. So, once in the last 25 years, the worst stretch since 1920 when Babe Ruth joined the team.

Brian Cashman has been general manager since February 1998. He inherited a championship team that won the World Series in 1998, 1999 and 2000. But even the 2009 team had the core four, inherited by Cashman: Jeter, Posada, Pettitte and Rivera.

The Yankees led AL in payroll 2001-2025 every year except:

2016: 4th

2017: 3rd

2018: 4th

__________________________

I have also been critical of ownership and called for them to sell the team. But suddenly a guy I could not have named yesterday has me really angry, not at the Yankees, but at him, his team owner and the commissioner.

And for some perspective on the Milwaukee accomplishment:

2026 World Series payrolls in millions: Milwaukee $146, Tampa $79.  Thursday, October 22, 2026

Of the 30 MLB teams, here are the payroll ranks of the WS teams:

14 Milwaukee

24 Tampa.

Way to beat up a weak opponent. Tampa swept the Yankees. Yankees slugger Aaron Judge played only 66 regular season games (285 Plate Appearances) due to injuries that flared up at the end of the season and caused him to not play in any playoff games.

Maybe horseshit Pat Murphy was ignorant of that. Maybe Murphy thinks Judge is horseshit. He should enjoy his victory parade in ... Milwaukee.
