    Busch has a Hiura like hole in his swing at the top of the strike zone. Pitchers are going to eat him alive if he doesn't fix that.

    When things snowball for Peralta it is an avalanche. He just can't settle down once something bad happens.
  3. nate82
    If you swing at that the best outcome is a foul ball. More than likely that is a roll over ground out or a weak pop out in the infield.

    Hiura's problem wasn't his leg kick it was his massive upper cut swing. The uppercut is what caused him to not be late but to completely whiff on pitches. Even when he cut down on his leg kick he was still missing. Why may you ask? It is because of the uppercut swing. Fixing Hiura's leg kick did absolutely nothing for him. Hiura has a huge uppercut in his swing where he would miss anything that would be above his belt area. Anything at or above the belt area for Hiura is a massive hole in his swing because of the severe upper cut in his swing. Again if you fix the leg kick it does absolutely nothing. Hiura needed to flatten out his swing and he just never did it.

    Really good game 7 so far with Boston and Toronto. I don’t like either team but the game has been good.

    Even with Giannis Lopez is still slower than slow. He has to be the slowest player on the court in nearly every single game and he is not going to become a quicker player next year. Age has caught up to him and he can't stay in front of even your average center. He has to play in drop coverage and that just doesn't work in the playoffs as Lopez gets absolutely picked apart in the playoffs when playing drop coverage. The Bucks are basically playing 4 on 5 when Lopez is in the game during the playoffs. Portis is the better defender at C in the playoffs. Lopez is no longer an elite defender at C in the playoffs he just isn't. Even when he is in the paint teams are just coming straight at him and winning when they are doing this. Lopez is not worth his contract anymore. If the Hawks would be good with it I would go with a Capela for Lopez trade but I don't see the Hawks even slightly agreeing to this.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with his front foot. Judge has been perfectly fine with this front foot and the same with Harper. Oh look Trout also does this. I guess this leg kick thing shouldn't be working for them. A quick edit I can't believe I forgot about the horrible Julio Rodriguez. Man these guys suck so bad because of the leg kick.

    A lot of hot takes in this one 😉😜

    A few trade options: Lopez to the Grizzlies for Smart. I think the Bucks would do this but I am not sure the Grizzlies would. This would give the Bucks a true PG in Smart. He could either be the backup PG or you could possibly move him to SG though I am not sure that would be the best fit for Smart. I really like Smart and I think he just had a bad year with the Grizzlies. This is probably too many players moving around. But the Warriors need to cut with Thompson being up for a new contract. This also resets the Hawks a bit allowing them to get out of the Bogdanovic deal one year earlier with taking on Wiggins. The Bucks get a younger C in Capela and also get a scoring SG in Bogdanovic when healthy. The only bad part of this trade is that the Bucks have to give up Bobby in this deal. Not many other teams you could trade with. The only other option would be another 3-team trade with the Warriors and 76ers with Wiggins and Connaughton going to the 76ers and I am not sure what would be coming back for the Bucks maybe a 2nd round pick or a late 1st round pick maybe?

    The running Ron roenick’s are back? I wonder if RRR would be a better manager now with the rule changes?
  11. nate82
    I don't think other teams really care about what they received in return production from another team. It is on the team acquiring the players to do their due diligence on the player. It is not like the Brewers traded Burnes and then the next day he needed TJ surgery and the Brewers knew about it but kept it secret. If the getting screwed part were true then the Brewers wouldn't have traded with the Orioles after they traded for Schoop in 2018. The same with the Orioles here as they didn't receive anyone that contributed to their team in that trade. Why trade for Burnes when the Schoop trade was awful for them?

    Not sure the Bucks can do anything really. Even if they sell off they won’t have any picks. That would be a 5-10 year rebuild and I don’t believe the owners will want any part of that. This is going to be the team plus some minor changes here and there for the next two seasons at least.

    Maybe they would be interested in Quantum mechanics but that is an extremely advanced topic even for someone in high school or even an undergrad in college.

    MLB in talks with Roku to televise Sunday morning baseball. https://theathletic.com/5468039/2024/05/02/mlb-roku-sunday-morning-baseball/?source=user_shared_article

    Sanchez probably going on the IL or at least won’t be available for a few games. So there is enough PA’s for Black.
  17. nate82
    No. You can demote him but he still would need to serve a suspension on the MLB roster.
  18. nate82
    I would definitely hit the batter if pitch one and two were called a ball. How does this even happen?
  19. nate82
    Trout out again with an injury. He is starting to look like Griffey Jr. towards the end of his career with all of the injuries. Trout is still on a HoF path but it is not looking like the historic Ruth like HoF career for Trout like it did 5-years ago.

    I think IGT would be better as a chat option rather than a forum. Would help with the billion pages of one person arguing with themselves. Probably better to just turn the IGT into front page news.

    For new threads can we get a minimum word count. So it isn’t just a link to some random article. Or if someone wants to post an article maybe have a site feature that allows for an article submission. Or even better just a bot that posts Brewers related articles from Fangraphs, ESPN, or other sites with free articles?

    Middleton could be traded to the 76ers but would you really want to trade with an East team that would be a potential playoff opponent? The only other option would be to trade Connaughton to GSW as a salary balance in a three team trade for Wiggins. I am not sure how to get rid of Connaughton so Rivers doesn’t play him at PG.

    The Athletic has an article up about the top 20 underrated prospects. They have Boeve and Woessner in their top 20 underrated. https://theathletic.com/5456544/2024/04/29/underrated-minor-league-prospects-matt-wilkinson/?source=user_shared_article

    Uggg Connaughton the chicken with its head cut off defense and Lopez I am a statue on the floor at the same time is just unwatchable basketball.
  25. nate82
    Off season plan trade Connaughton for a bag of balls. Only resign Lopez if he is willing to take the vet minimum. Hopefully someone becomes desperate and trades for Middleton. Otherwise this team is doomed for the next 3-years. Fire Doc Rivers and replace with someone who isn’t afraid to play younger players.
