    No confidence in Locke to throw an accurate pass would be my guess.
  2. nate82
    The two turnovers by the defense were legit not sure what your argument is. Only the muffed punt by USC was a real benefit for the Badgers in the game.
  3. nate82
    On a few passes yes but majority have not been.
  4. nate82
    So many dumb penalties. Go from 3rd and manageable to 3rd and long. Just poor execution on this drive where they were setup to score easily.
  5. nate82
    Not really as it was mostly the muffed punt return that killed the Badgers. Without the game is probably a little bit closer.

    Locke a few good passes in the first half absolutely horrible in the 2nd half.
  7. nate82
    There’s the horrible Locke pass.

    I really hate side arm QB’s. So many batted balls if you don’t have the arm strength to get over the defense and to the receiver quickly enough. Locke is like waiting for a balloon getting to the receiver when he has to loft the ball. Just not enough arm strength.
  9. nate82
    With Locke at QB? He would have lost 10 yards on that.

    You would have to have a defensive QB and there just isn’t a player on the team who is that. No the coaches wouldn’t be able to audible either.

    Should have been OPI but a good no call.

    Managers in baseball are overrated. They have an impact but not as much as fans think they do. Impact of a good manager is probably a +/- 3 games at best.
  13. nate82
    Shocked?
  14. nate82
    I was told the Badgers were going to be blown out? Where are those posters now?
  15. nate82
    That was fortunate especially after that poor play calling and bad passes.

    I am not sure Boeve is a player you want to skip AAA with. I mean it is possible if he shows up in ST and forces the Brewers hands but I think there would be a lot of growing pains with Boeve. I wouldn't give Bregman a long term deal. I don't believe he would be worth it. Let someone like the Cubs sign him. I think Suarez from the Dbacks will become available as I think they will try and resign Walker who would cost annually about the same as Suarez somewhere around $13mm a season. Suarez has a $15mm team option which the Dbacks will trigger. I think Suarez gets traded and Lawlar starts the season out as their everyday 3B. What would it take to get Suarez from the Dbacks? I am not sure he has a $15mm option for 2025 but is a FA after. So that is just one years worth of value so I don't think he would cost a top 50 prospect but maybe a teams 10-15 ranked prospect like Burke, Bitonti or Lara types and then a lottery ticket. I don't think the Brewers would pay that and instead just go with someone internal.

    I am not surprised by Wilken. I still believe the Brewers want him to get more PA's to finish out the year. I am more surprised by Baez. I am a bit disappointed Baez got the call and not Pratt but that is more along the lines I would rather see Pratt play in person as I am only like 15 minutes away from the Peoria sports complex.

    Well they tried the top prospect route with Gilbert Lara and it didn't work out. When you are signing 16 year old's it is nearly impossible to project what they will become. They could have all of the power and all of the tools you are looking for but it is extremely hard to figure out how they will develop or not. Lara in 2014 was the #4 ranked international free agent and the Brewers spent $3,097,500 on him that year. I would rather spread that money out and try and get as many as the Brewers can get. The Yankees in 2014 signed 10 of the top 30 and 0 have reached MLB. Ronald Acuna Jr. signed for $100k that year and the Yankees spent about $34mm that year including penalties. The only two players the Yankees signed that year that I know of are Estevan Florial and Miguel Yajure. So even getting 10 of the top 30 will not guarantee anything. It looks good until you look like the 2014 Yankees international FA signings.

    Honestly probably both. The chase the play is something that is hard to coach against. This is especially true for more athletic players. It tends to take them longer to realize they can’t cover up their mistakes by their physical abilities alone. Coaching wise I think Tressel is fine. He just doesn’t have the linemen to do what he wants. The Badgers have the LB’s they want and the CB’s they want but they are missing the linemen.

    I think that was more of a poor seal by the outside defender. The play was going to the left but on the backside of the play there was no seal. So when the RB cut back there was a huge hole. You can see the outside player notice this but far too late. They were already engaged with the blocker and left their assignment. The safeties also over committed to the left side and left no coverage in the right hand side. If they did a play action off of this it would have been an easy TD to the receiver on the right. There was no high coverage to the right. All of the defenders were on the left side except for two defenders. This was more of a chase the play instead of reacting to the play.

    Brett Favre has Parkinson’s

    Yes I know. It is mostly an emotionally thing where I get disappointed. The rankings have actually caught up with this where teams are going after more positional players than pitching.
  23. nate82
    The Brewers probably will get the early game though playing the Mets may boost them up to game two. The late game will definitely be the Padres. MLB early schedule has the Brewers as wild card A game for the NL.

    The White Sox sucked so bad they couldn’t even beat themselves!

    I get the go after positional players over the pitchers but I am always disappointed when I don’t see a top 50 pitching in the signings. 16 year olds are extremely hard to project out and there is far more risk. So I completely understand the go after positional players over the pitching due to the risk involved. I just wish emotionally that they would go after a top pitching prospect internationally.
