  1. I fail to see how taking shortcuts on housing and food is going to improve performance on the field.
  2. I have never heard a crowd boo a home player as loudly as Brewer fans booed Gagne.
  3. He never struck me as a "hit for average with lots of doubles" guy in the minors. He's always had home run power.
  4. If pitching Wins have any bearing on winning the Cy Young at this point the award itself has become irrelevant. It really has moved away from wins recently. DeGrom won it in 2019 with a record of 11 - 8
  5. I think Freddy is like 40 - 1 to win it right now. If you are into wagering, that's a pretty decent bet to lay.
  6. You're more tuned into the defensive metrics than I am so I'm wondering how the defense is doing? Seems like it's gotten a ton better since the Adames trade but that's just eyeballing it.
  7. Looks like Brewers will miss Gausman this weekend. He's out on paternity leave.
  8. He is a Racine native so I think a lot of people knew of him as he rose through the minors.
  9. "Though the system built major roadways that run through multiple states, the “interstate” term refers to the fact that the highways are funded federally with money shared between the states." https://www.nbcdfw.com/local/q-interstates-that-dont-travel-between-states/2088873/
  10. Mitchell and Gray seem to be settling in after their promotions.
  11. Norris threw a double play ball that would have ended that inning but Adames botched it. Not sure I'd nitpick that trade right now.
  12. Shows what I know:
  13. We could have offered him more than this if we had wanted. While I valued Tucker, I do think he's very one dimensional at this point. Offensively, he basically camps out in the corner and tosses up 3s. People get that now. But he surely helped out last year. Let's hope we find someone who can replace his energy, defense and smarts. https://theathletic.com/2748577/2021/08/03/how-the-bucks-lost-one-of-their-championship-dogs-p-j-tucker-signs-with-miami-heat/ - adding Tucker on a two-year, $15 million deal, the same one the Heat gave him, would have put the Bucks $22.2 million over the luxury tax line and incurred a luxury tax payment of $53.3 million at the end of the season - adding Tucker on a two-year, $20 million deal, would have put the Bucks $24.7 million over the luxury tax line and incurred a luxury tax payment of $62.7 million at the end of the season - adding Tucker on a two-year, $20 million deal, but then taking Portis off the cap, would have put the Bucks $20.2 million over the luxury tax line and incurred a luxury tax payment of $45.8 million at the end of the season
  14. This belongs in the optimism thread!
  15. I think Hill said some not so flattering things about the Bucks after he was traded last year. I'd be surprised if he came back.
  16. As everyone suspected, Tucker has been working behind the scenes to get rid of Gard and get himself hired as basketball coach. Literally went to Barry and asked him to fire Gard. All unnamed sources in the story.
  17. Well Alando Tucker seems like a real piece of work: https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/college/uw/2021/08/02/alando-tucker-tried-undermine-greg-gard-and-take-over-uw-coach-wisconsin-badgers/5456411001/
  18. We have 70% adults with one shot now. The good news is that there's been a big uptick in vaccinations since this latest wave started.
  19. And I don’t get this. We solved polio. We solved measles, whooping cough, mumps, etc. Then a bunch of discredited docs wrote books questioning vaccines and we now have parts of the country with lower vaccination rates than third world countries. My generation never saw the horrors of those sicknesses because they were eradicated when we grew up, but we were all vaccinated. now those are on the rise because we aren’t learning from history 1. Pre-existing anti-vaccine sentiment that had been steadily gaining popularity even before Covid. 2. Social media/propaganda websites that present as legitimate news, freely spreading false information without repercussions for the last 15 or so years. Unpopular opinion possibly but the Internet has changed the game and the First Amendment is in dire need of revisiting. 3. Legitimate public distrust of the news, which constantly sells one apocalyptic crisis after another without ever seeing these things come to fruition. 4. Politicizing virus prevention like we do with almost everything, pitting one side against the other. If you do this or that, you are "one of them." 30-40% is just not true. It's less than 25% that will never get it. There's a big chunk that are in wait and see mode.
  20. Most states have a public health dashboard you can view if you don't trust the media. Or go to local news sources in those states.
  21. Thought this deserved its own thread:
