Why wasn't that check by OSU into the boards that led to the "offsetting penalties" at the end of the game called to begin with? Also, why wasn't it a double major or a 5-minute for boarding? Uggh.

Does it seem like they are freeing up space for buyout candidates? I thought they did something like that in the past, but am not well versed on that. I had read they were freeing up roster spots.

Well... he is probably surprised he is still employed, too... 😉 I wonder if Zrno would consider transferring. -
Bucks are also getting Jericho Sims from the Knicks. https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2025/02/knicks-to-trade-jericho-sims-to-bucks.html

Or the machines will see us as threats... and... 😉

Nope. I don't care if he plays for free. He has character issues and that can be cancer on the team.

Labor Discussion - Salary Cap, Local TV Sharing
Samurai Bucky replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
MLB should implement a relegation system. That would solve a lot of things. I know it would be tough for teams to be relegated and lose out on money, but that would pretty much guarantee the teams that have the most money stay at the top. -

My kids have learned Python in college. My daughter's friend works for an Epic Software subsidiary and uses it to write test cases. I'm a little older and the, "Get off my <coding> lawn" gets in the way a little. Fortunately, I don't have a neck beard to get in the way... yet. I'm a C# guy. Plenty of ways to learn that. It will allow you to work in web, windows forms, and even mobile apps.

A few years ago, I was introduced to Leinenkugel's Canoe Paddle Kolsch. It turned into one of my favorite beers. Last year, we stopped seeing it at Total Wine. I found out today that they don't make it anymore. Today, the Samurai is a sad Samurai...

I wish I would do more of that. Before my dad died four years ago, both of my parents needed walkers. I was much more sensitive to people doing exactly what you did. My father in law doesn't need a walker, but he is not fleet a foot at 84 years old and should probably be walking with a cane. My mom and my father in law both have the window hanger thing. Here is another one -- the person has a handicap sticker, but they are not handicap! Perhaps their spouse, etc. is handicapped, but they don't need it. One would think they would be more sensitive, but they are not. On another note -- there are some facilities that have absolute garbage for handicap accessibility. Go to any summer baseball or softball tournament. There are a lot of grandparents that need handicap spaces. There are never enough. My son was in the spring baseball sectionals at South Milwaukee and my mom had to take her walker down a hill and across the uneven grass. Very frustrating. However, it is really cool when we take my mom to the Brewers games -- "I must be in the front row!" 😉

Ahh, but there is the code review 😉 I do agree with you. Our clients, or "the business" wants things to be built more cheaply. The way to combat that is with good requirements (giggle), documentation (giggle harder), and testing (belly laugh). I don't know about you @CheezWizHed, but we always have to fight to get those line items in for our clients. As you well know, the coding landscape has changed a lot over the past decades. When I graduated, C was the big language with C++ being used for OOP. Pascal was on it's way out. Now, we have things like .NET to separate us from some of the heavy lifting. With C, you malloced or calloced your memory and had to free it "manually." Now, you have frameworks that have led to automatic garbage collecting. This has led to poor programming practices. This will be quoted and somebody will say, "It bugs me when people talk about programming in this forum!" He he he.

That just shows that Python is evil...

As a software engineer, I have found AI to be very helpful. Perhaps more for menial tasks. For example porting a stored procedure to LINQ in C# -- I can get the result of the stored procedure and pass the schema to AI to create a new C# class for me. Then it does a fairly good job of creating LINQ (or Lambda) code. You are right, though, it has a ways to go. It has saved me time.

The seats on the glass at the the Dane County Coliseum were awesome. Of course that was before nets along the side, low glass, and being in the band 😉

I'll call it like it is -- Penn State choked. The QB threw up too many crappy passes. Two of the interceptions were reversed on penalties (one was iffy). The last one, which cost them the game, was trash. Even so, it was a good game to watch. -
Even more important -- he already knew what a bubbler was!!!!! 😉

I did not realize the Sesame Street skit counting to 12 with the pinball machine was sung by the Pointer Sisters. ... and for the music nerds in the audience, the time signatures makes Genesis and Rush songs look easy!

@Brewcrew82 and I are on the same page (I posted a few things too). 😉 There are ways that contract extensions can be negotiated to help nail down the financial portion. Bichette's chasing can go down. I'm not worried about that. Injuries can be a result of his inability to stay healthy, or perhaps there is a training staff issue. The Brewers seem to have an uncanny way to get players to stay healthy (Yelich was a bit of an outlier with his substantial injuries). In my opinion, make it happen. He will definitely make the team better.

My fear is Frelick gets moved to third-base, performs defensively like Ryan Braun did, then the discussion will be related to not having enough room for him in the outfield. There will be more frustration as well because Frelick doesn't mash homers like Braun did. Wouldn't it be great if the Brewers could take some of that outfield capital and trade for a good third baseman? Another alternative would be to trade that capital for a good shortstop?

2024 Miscellaneous College Football thread
Samurai Bucky replied to LouisEly's topic in Other Sports
I saw an article on Bleacher Report titled something like, "We Owe Ryan Day an Apology". The hard core OSU fans are still very bitter -- even if they win a Natty. You know what? As a Badger fan, give me the natty. I can handle the Badgers losing a game to Minnesota if that is the only loss and they end up winning the National Championship. -
I think this is like Spock playing 3D chess. There are short-term goals, but those goals weighed against the long-term goals. I am not part of the front office. Yet I see them focusing on locking up good talent to provide the core and then trying to fit pieces in where there are needs much like @Playing Catch is suggesting. The goal is to make sure the foundation of good, young talent provides a recurring core that produces. They only way they should go "all in" (IMHO) is if they can trade away the younger talent, but not affect the timeline of young talent being able to contribute.
