Maynard might get upset at being classified, but Tool is definitely metal. I actually have two tickets for the June show in Madison, so I'm hoping the Coronavirus stuff doesn't upset the tour plans. As much as I think MJK is a pretentious d-bag, their music is amazing and twice I've had tickets to see them live, and once they got cancelled, and the second time I had work obligations that I could not get out of.

A mudvayne reunion would be great. I'm listening to LD 50 as I type this.

Its March madness. -
Have you listened to the new album? I think it's better than the few previous. I personally love me some static x. I did. I thought the new album was "so so". I just don't really get behind artists saying "this album is going back old school/like our old stuff". Slipknot's new album is super sharp and heavily refined and over produced. Their first two albums were really raw and rough and rugged and savagely heavy. The new album is a good album, it's just not comparable to what they were. I get it... Corey's trying to be a hype man and get their older fans to open up the wallets. It's part of his job. But (again), I really just think it would be better (and almost easier) to say something like "really excited about this new album and new material, *generic statement* than trying to make people think it's Iowa 2.0 or Ride the Lightning 2.0 or any band trying to make people believe they've turned back the clock. Just let it be whatever it is. EVERY band's sound evolves over time, and that's not really a bad thing, but when you try to convince fans "you're going back to your roots" that's when I kinda get skeptical. Eh... maybe it's just me. Also, I am a huge fan of Static-X. I went to their show at the Rave a few months ago with Dope. I've probably seen them in concert like 6 or 7 times.

Haha, I was in a pretty fun cover band for a bit in the mid 2000s and one of the songs we played was fade to black because my mom (!?!?!) Liked it. Go figure. Kinda got tired of it though.

I used to really enjoy Slipknot. Now I almost have to put them up there with Five Finger Death Punch as far as bands I just love to hate. Slipknot's first three albums were really really good albums. Raw and aggressive. Powerful and devastating. I feel like after that it started becoming difficult differentiating between Slipknot and Stone Sour. And every new Slipknot album Corey Taylor would come out and say " I'm really excited about this new album we have some super heavy material it's going to be really heavy like Iowa it's going to be like old school etc etc etc" And then I listen to a handful of the tracks and I feel like I'm listening to Stone Sour. Not that that's necessarily a terrible thing... I just think it's silly when artists always tell fans this time we're going back to our roots or this time it's going to be old school and then you get your expectations up for a certain thing and it doesn't come nearly close to that. Just let an album be what it is.

5 - Burning Inside - Ministry. - Al Jourgenson is probably my all time favorite musician/song writer. This song just punches you in the face like an alcoholic stepdad. 4. - Dead Embryonic Cells - Sepultura - I saw the video for this on mtv and I was like "what even is this?" And went to musicland in the mall and grabbed a copy. For 80s thrash/death metal it doesnt get better. 3 - Seasons in the Abyss - Slayer - angel of death is their anthem but this song is amazing. I spent weeks and weeks learning Jeff Hannemans guitar solo and probably got it like 75% and called it good enough. 2 - Descend - Fear Factory - I love industrial thrash speed metal. Fear Factory is the epitome of that genre. I got caught in a pit at ozzfest in like 98 or 99 during these guys and it was the best most brutal pit ever. 1 - Master of Puppets - ya ya ya it's a Metallica song. This album literally changed my music taste. Master runs the gamut of everything in like 8 minutes. Masterpiece.

Greatest Catch in Team's 50 Year History
DuWayne Steurer replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
GOmez's catch on the hill in Houston was ridiculous. The game context didn't really matter though, so it doesn't really go down in team history. -
Badgers ranked 18th. 6 spot jump.
-
I think it's one thing to say that injuries matter, but then to start saying "If we had this guy, we would have won those games". You still have to play the games with the guys you have, and when you start putting too much weight on hypotheticals, you're basically saying the actual games that were played don't matter as much as the what-if stuff. The Badgers team that's out there right now is definitely better than the team that started the season, but it's still a team that lost 10 games, and lost some games they shouldn't have. I think the committee has a responsibility to look at the entire body of work of a team, even if they weight the latter part of the season more.

The catch that Paciorek made earlier in the game was legitimately better. It just wasn't the last out of the game. -
Greatest Catch in Team's 50 Year History
DuWayne Steurer replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The Yount/Nieves catch was really memorable, but I wouldn't call it "greatest" as in "most difficult". I almost (almost) feel like Yount hot-dogged it with the dive a little bit, maybe, perhaps, possibly. It was a really good catch, but I've definitely seen guys make harder, greater catches. Just the context of that play really makes it stand out in Brewers history. -
Yeah I'm not going to lose any sleep if we're not able to stash Logan Morrison in AAA.

Brewers sign Arcia- 1 Year $2.2 Million
DuWayne Steurer replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I deliberately went to the years prior to the "juiced" ball. Urias has shown very good OBP skills, particularly in drawing walks. At times over his minor league career, he has walked more than he struck out over the course of a season. If he hits .270, I expect the OBP to be in the .360-.370 range. Think Brock Holt as a floor. Juiced ball or not he put up those numbers in extreme hitters parks in an extreme hitters League. Before we call Brock Holt his floor, we need to see the guy produce at the big league level. His floor is a bust. His ceiling is probably a borderline All-Star. There's a big leap between hoping for and expecting a guy to reproduce numbers from bandbox ballparks in double A. -
Well we shouldn't waive Anderson, but a 1/5 deal should not lock a guy into a rotation spot if he's not one of the best 5. If the competition between Anderson and say Lauer is close...even if Lauer is slightly better I would go with Anderson to maintain the flexibility. If Lauer is lightyears ahead of Anderson, well Mr. Anderson can pitch out of the bullpen as 6th starter/swingman. Not the best use of 5 million, but to give a guy a rotation spot when he's not the best option to avoid "wasting" 5 million is bad management. That 5 million is a sunk cost at this point and shouldn't factor into decision making. Yes, it's a sunk cost, because it's guaranteed money, but the guy hasn't thrown a single pitch of actual innings that matter yet. The season hasn't started and there's people that (seemingly) want him cut, at the cost of 5 million dollars. I absolutely understand sunk cost, but they didn't sign the guy to not give him a chance to perform. If they go into the season and Anderson isn't one of the top 5 options, then great, find a role for him. But to just be saying "cut him" after throwing 3 (relatively benign) spring training innings, in which we can't really glean a lot of data is pretty out there. I have zero problem if Anderson doesn't make the rotation, but I also know that Stearns isn't going to sign a guy to 5 million, and then cut him for no reason when the Brewers operate on a tighter budget than most other teams.

Brewers sign Arcia- 1 Year $2.2 Million
DuWayne Steurer replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Urias put those numbers up in San Antonio and El Paso. I wouldn't put too much bank on him recreating those numbers at the big league level. I'd honestly be pleased if Urias could slash a .270/.330/.400 this year, which is right around where all of the projections have him. -
The Brewers have said that if Lauer is the #6, he'll be in the AAA rotation. Peralta however would be in MLB rotation or pen. Team needs to trade away or wave Anderson because this is going to backfire. If they take Lauer a 2yr starter for SD and demote him to AAA when he's done nothing in Spring to warrant it? Talk about a major buzzkill on his confidence. This is why I think the piggyback needs to happen. Or move on from the 1yr contract that is Anderson. Burnes down to AAA can be reasonable due to his last season. Lauer? It'll be a problem. They're not going to waive Anderson. Everyone knows he's a high risk for missing a fair number of starts, but they're not going to just waive him. Stearns didn't sign the guy, knowing his injury history, just to waive him and blow 5 million dollars in a guaranteed contract in order to not hurt Lauer's feelings.

Phew...... Looked like an ugly loss there for a few minutes.
-
Middleton is being a lot more assertive when he needs to be (or just wants to be). And even on an "off" night, Giannis had 19/19/8, and 3 blocks.
-
It's one thing if teams are playing great physical d on Giannis, but when three guys are hacking his arms and body and he's just not getting the calls, it's pretty frustrating. Especially when a guy drives the other way and Middleton makes marginal contact and gets called for a foul.
-
Im not talking about firing Bud after one 50/50 series. Im saying the hypothetical of him/the Bucks not making it after 3 straight years (if they dont) raises a legitimate question, even if they win 60 games per. As I said, I think they're in this year and it becomes moot.
-
Im not bringing up the Atl years. And Lebron isn't the GOAT.
-
Basketball isn't like baseball where you just have to get in the playoffs and then anything can happen. The best teams usually do win. The Bucks were the best team in the east last year and are clearly the best team in the east this year. If they resign Giannis, they'll be the best team in the east next year. If they fail to make the finals, there's a reason, and it won't be random chance. Is that all on Bud? Could be. I think they'll make it this year though. Doesnt hurt to talk about hypotheticals though. That's what message boards are for.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28744346/catcher-jonathan-lucroy-says-was-changing-signs-every-pitch-vs-astros This article goes into a lot more detail. Sounds like the A's front office backs up the story that Fiers did try to notify the league, and they basically did nothing. Manfred is a coward.
-
If proven to be true, Manfred has no credibility. Not sure the owners would fire him, but man, he really has to go.
