Beat writers are a funny thing and profession. First, I respect the hell out of them especially baseball writers. They have one of the most rigorious schedules in all of professions. There are games every weekend in the summer, traveling all over the country and trying to stay in shape whilst probably eating terrible food. That said, they have some terrible fucking takes. Case in point, the few Dodgers beat writers whom believe that Miller Park isn’t very loud. What a crock of shit. WSSP’s Bart Winkler turned me on to this topic, and boy, does it get me heated. Let’s look at these clowns.

Not a very energetic crowd here. It's as if everyone here is in a food/cheese curd coma. They were in a zombie-like state until Josh Hader was introduced. #Brewers #Dodgers #NLDS

My colleagues @McCulloughTimes and @dylanohernandez are right…Miller Park does seem dead..like they only gave out towels to, like, one-third of the crowd..they barely even cheer the kid who shouted, "Play ball!''

Couple things here… One, I love the fact Hernandez adds the little dig about Josh Hader. Of course, people are going to cheer for him. I also love how these guys have the pulse of the crowd. Maybe the press box or where they’re sitting provides less noise than actually being out in the stands? Like these takes are so stale. Let’s make fun of Milwaukee, and it’s small city atmosphere. Hernandez, who picked the Dodgers in four, seems to have his trolling pants on, or he’s just an asshole. Either way, these guys are adding fuel to the fire to Brewers fans.

Milwaukee does not like to get challenged. You say Milwaukee cannot do something, they respond with doing it or being even louder. I expect Game 2 to be loud and if they come back for Game 6, it’s going to be a madhouse.

Stick to worrying about ice cream and not fan noise.
