  1. The worst part about AI is the fake videos... Blah. Dude ran past two 50 yd lines. After the second 50 yard marker, he ran 65 yards to the endzone (13 five yard markers).
  2. Seems like a good gamble for both the Brewers and Bauers, IMO. A) Bauers accepts the QO (Vaughn is traded or arby declined) 1) If Bauers plays anywhere near 2026, you made a good deal. Adams becomes the RH part of the platoon. Burke waits until 2027 or is 1B/DH injury backup. 2)If Bauers falls off to previous levels - well, that is the downside of all of this. But then Adams and Burke get more play at 1B. B) Bauers rejects the QO Vaughn is retained with Arbitration and you work with Luke Adams (RHB - maybe a bit at 3B too?) and Blake Burke (LHB) as rookies. In all of this, I assume Fischer remains at AA/AAA if he follows the typical path for Brewer's rookies (i.e. not the Chourio route).
  3. Bad news was that Saturday was my first chance to see a full WI football game...Good news is that I watched it off the DVR and only wasted an hour on the game. Woof that was ugly. I remember why I hate, hate, hate option football. I was getting major Gary Anderson vibes. By the time we decided if it was an RB run or a QB keep the Iowa defenders were already going through holes in the line. I guess not having to defend the pass helps with that. But we looked like we were running in concrete while Iowa was flying around us.
  4. That worked so well for Greg Council...😏
  5. All my emotions were squeezed out Wed night... 🙂 I still don't quite understand what this team is or could be... So much talent and so much idiocy at the same time. Our offense continues to run hot/cold with no ability to close a game. They are either playing with their hair on fire or just laying down for 3 and outs or turnovers. The defense is coming together nicely (and not just yesterday). I'm really anxious for Parsons to return. Hopper is out making plays and making misses... but he looks like a player (just in need of some experience). Cisse looks like he has been in the league for years. I found it (pleasantly) ironic how Morgan/Belton played so well and Walker looked like a wet paper bag. He wasn't that bad last year, so I'm shocked. Hopefully Banks can stay healthy and Zeitler can see the field to help stabilize our interior OL. I can't blame much on Williams at this point at C... Just hold the fort until Rhyan returns. Solidify that IOL and many things improve. Golden is probably getting exactly what he needs - reps, reps, and more reps. Love really focused on him yesterday - drops or no drops. But no one can cover him either so... I keep hoping for Lloyd to clue in a bit, but he does make some really bad reads. Jacobs looked fine for what the OL was giving him. Had a few runs that looked vintage tackle breaking Jacobs...too bad he is having to break tackles at -2 yrds just to make a +2 rush. Smack? We don't talk about Smack.
  6. Touche'. I remembered poorly. Cooper was very early, but it was in season. But I'm guessing Made gets the Chourio treatment... just skip AAA altogether. The longer we wait (and he shows evidence of being legit), the more expensive it becomes.
  7. Agreed. I think you look at Blake Burke and Andrew Fischer as 1B/DH types only. Fischer probably sees 3B similarly to what Vaughn does. Luke Adams probably has more of a shot at 3B, but I don't see him blocking Made/Cooper at 3B either. Or Pena either.
  8. Hot take, but I'm going to say that both of the May/JoJo and Senzatela trades were successful. JoJo was excellent, however. Very good in the regular season and had ice in his veins for the post season - 8IP, 1 ER, 11K. Senzatela struggled in the regular season and had that "oh no, here is another Chaffin" feel to the trade. But was very, very good in the post season, especially against Tampa. He had some very key innings in games 3-4 with a lot of pitches thrown. 9IP, 2ER, May was the weak link of the three. Very bad in the regular season, he was serviceable in Post season. Often with our defense not helping him. If nothing else, his presence lit a fire (much like his hair) in the IGTs... 😂 Maybe I have a lower opinion of the guys we sent off for these three players, but I think the trade was certainly worth it... Hard to win the WS without JoJo and Senz. For the short-term, the Peralta trade did certainly hurt. Not sure what Freddy would've provided us if he stayed, but certainly more than Woody did. Sadly, Freddy didn't look great in the WS (nor in prior year's playoffs), but was solid against the NYY and CLE. For that one, we just have to hope they can fix Sproat and Jett has a bounce back season. Short term loss,,, but hopefully a long term gain.
  9. I was responding to someone that thought they offered Made last year... when he was going into AA. Read my OP... I specifically said offering one now would be the same timeline as they offered Pratt and Lara (and Chourio)
  10. For what purpose? That would be different than how they handled Chourio, Pratt, and Lara. Plus doing it mid-season seems like a pretty big distraction. I think that is a poor assumption. Lara and Pratt were going into AAA. Giving Made the offer would've put him on the 40 man while in AA. Now, I could see that they already discussed it with him and his agent, but I'd be shocked if they offered it last year.
  11. One of the more exciting parts of this team is that most of the team we will have for several years and we still have several guys coming up that look like impact players. Joey Ortiz had a nice rebound the second half of 2026 before flopping in the playoffs. Hamilton was the opposite. Both players are probably better set as your backup infielders. So given the Brewer's history of handling young stars... Jesus Made is exactly at the point of his career that Jackson Chourio, Cooper Pratt, and Luis Lara signed their historic extensions. And I think we saw how that worked out pretty well for the Brewers this year. Does Jesus Made become the next name on that list? Is he destined to become our starting 3B next year? I would guess those answers are an easy "yes"...if it weren't for the potential lockout over the CBA. It will be interesting to see how the Brewers approach this.
  12. Defending the Cardinals? How many points can I dock you for that?? Is that a week vacation? Lifetime ban?
  13. Oh wow... Bob calling the key moments of the playoffs and then the trophy sitting in the Uecker seat (after I was just there for Game 1 against LAD)... chills.
  14. "Rock, sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Uecker. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock but I'll know about it; and I'll be happy."
  15. It's been great enjoying this with all of you online this year!!! And remember, it took the Cubs 2x longer...😉
