  1. I didn't say anything about offensive style or identity, but I would take a good running game any day over the garbage that we see now. I was in favor of trying something else offensively but this ain't it. If it's true that Sean Lewis was rumored to be Leonhard's target as OC, then I would have been intrigued to see what he could do here. I didn't think the offense needed an overhaul but the line play was subpar for several years under Rudolph. I think Blazek is a good coach and hopefully he can right the ship with line play, which will dictate how successful the offense is or isn't. Brayden Locke also is a killer but at this point there just isn't a better option on the roster. Sucks.
  2. Another tidbit I heard that possibly moved Mac away from Leonhard was that Leonhard felt the team didn't need to make a drastic change with respect to NIL, and where the team was headed, and Mac disagreed. There were some rumblings that Leonhard was seen a bit as another Chryst with respect to energizes boosters (Chryst hated the schmoozing part of college football, where Bielema was quite good at it). The Gridiron Club being an example. I don't know if Chryst lost the lockerroom but there was some fear the lockerroom wasn't entirely behind Leonhard, either. I think it was just a weird year in general. Fickell was more willing to look at the program and where it was with NIL and the college landscape and that also led Mac to go away from Leonhard. I hated the move at the time because I figured Leonhard would build a great staff and keep the continuity with a good defense but when thinking objectively, I figured Fickell would be the slam dunk hire as it was described at the time. Hindsight is 20/20. Leonhard isn't going to be back with UW in any capacity until Mac is gone.
  3. I'm rooting for Willy to get the big payday he's earned. I'm also rooting for the Brewers not to offer anything more than 4 years and Willy, if he's being advised correctly, should be looking for more years.
  4. Agreed. I think, barring a move, they almost have to let him spin his wheels in Milwaukee and see if they have anything.
  5. Perhaps. But Longo was an equally bad hire trying to force a square peg into a round hole. Brayden Locke has spent most of his college career now with Longo and he's shown ZERO improvement. Longo isn't anything without All American or 1st round NFL talent.
  6. That was a horrendous performance. This team, and really program, has a lot of problems.
  7. The organization must be confident they can find someone to put up Rea like numbers for less than $5.5 million. No idea who that might be but I trust them to find some cheap arms or some AAA guys.
  8. Might be an option to give Wilken another year in the minors. Given the year Rhys had, the organization might be skeptical on giving another "prove it" deal but it could pay off.
  9. Assuming the Dodgers advance, this should be a world series with a lot of slugging. I don't like either team but this is where we are.
  10. Honestly, if Winker just carries on to 3rd rather than stopping several times to see what the Dodgers are going to do with the ball, he's likely in without a play at 3rd. He stopped to see the ball going to 2nd, then stops again to see what Lux is going to do with the ball. What the hell, man, just keep running. Oh well!
  11. I haven't been able to force myself to watch any more baseball. I will probably get there at some point. I think I'm on the Guardians' bandwagon.
  12. I hope that's true. I like Francona and it's a good sign he's healthy. Thought he had some health issues in Cleveland?
  13. Yeah. I questioned Murphy's moves earlier in the game but they worked. I was 100% on board with Williams in the 9th. He just sucked.
  14. I hope Willy signs with the Angels.
  15. Yeah, I'm just happy for the Mets' clubhouse. I bet they're so excited.
  16. Sad thing is, I'm not even surprised. Losers. Of course Winker has a career moment. I hate everything about this team and the ownership and the stadium. Bulldoze it. Put a landfill in its place.
  17. That sucked. That was a pitch that he normally drives the other way but that swing had no legs behind it.
  18. I guess that's why he's on the roster.
