Craig Counsell faced his former team for the first time on Monday, and Milwaukee Brewers fans haven't exactly given him a warm welcome home.
Tim and Curt Crispy – also known as The Crispy Brothers – have carved out a niche by writing and performing parody songs about Wisconsin sports. They released a new track to the tune of Goyte's 2011 hit, "Somebody That I Used to Know," on Tuesday, poking fun at Counsell and his departure last offseason.Counsell was the Brewers' manager from 2015 to 2023, leading Milwaukee to three NL Central titles and five postseason appearances in that span.
The Crispy Brothers filmed their music video at Craig Counsell Park, a Little League field in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin – Counsell's hometown. When news of Counsell leaving first came out, fans flocked to the park and vandalized the sign, which features prominently in The Crispy Brothers' video. Through two months of regular season action, the Brewers and new manager Pat Muprhy sit in first place in the NL Central at 31-22. Counsell and the Cubs, meanwhile, are 4.5 games back at 27-27.Follow Fastball on FanNation on social mediaSam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
