Brewers took the loss in a social media battle in Miami
The Milwaukee Brewers community manager decided to be funny on Monday before the first game of the four-game series between Milwaukee and Miami.
The Brewers official account made fun of the Marlins using Christian Yelich – of course -, and his MVP award bobblehead.

However, the joke turned back to the Brewers, when some Marlins fans reminded the account they have not won any World Series, ever…
Yeah, I noticed you guys don’t have this either. pic.twitter.com/7CVfNtvZyW

The Brewers made fun of the Marlins, and the joke came back to them real quick. Some fans in Miami still defend their team.
For now, the Brewers are fighting to get into the playoffs, a couple of games back in the National League wildcard, and the Marlins are in the middle of a rebuilding process that might take a while.
But don’t you ever forget. They have two World Series titles…
Social media managers often forget that cocky online trolling can instantly backfire when the opposing fan base holds all the historical trump cards. Trying to roast another team’s current struggles is fun and games until the internet starts digging into your own empty trophy cabinet. When these digital feuds blow up, users immediately rush to check the instagram recent followers of the involved accounts just to see the real-time drama and fallout from the bad PR. At the end of the day, cheap internet points fade within hours, but real championship banners stay forever.
