  1. Here's to us MPLS Cheeseheads! One of my Viking fan coworkers said that 2/5th of the Viking's already bad OL might be out for the game too. I actually feel bad for Cousins because they have never given him good protection. And since he is not mobile at all (or ever was), he is very susceptible to pressure. That would be his Achilles heal... (too soon?)
  2. The tweet was after his injury, but I wonder if the original complaint was before or after? Rodgers is a spin master who always makes himself look good.
  3. I looked into Bryant at the trading deadline as I've always admired him as a player - perhaps jealousy when the Cubs had him at 3B and we had blackholes... But with the current direction of the team, I wouldn't touch him. We have waves of rookies coming now... our $$ resources really need to be focused on Burnes/Woody/Adames. We have Black sitting at AAA and will probably be called up next year (some risk he might not play 3B, but he is there now). Wilkins could also move up quickly. Monasterio has a nice floor at 3B. And what Andruw produced this year is a bit better than what Bryant did in CO. (AM: 242 ABs; 273/349/372; 97 OPS+; 1.6 bWAR vs KB: 251 ABs; 255/342/390; 90 OPS+; -0.4 bWAR). And clearly KB has a higher upside, but that comes with significant injury risk as he only played 109 games in the last 2 years. While we might still have a weak spot at 3B, Bryant doesn't bring us much upside for the salary and trade capitol it would require. If he was a FA, I might entertain a slightly higher contract similar to Brian Anderson - a base contract with performance bonuses. I don't know that I'd go more than $10M base for 1 or 2 years. 5 years would be a no-go. Maybe Yelli's back issues have me gun-shy about adding another older player long term, but I'd prefer to go with the youth movement at this time and spend our resources trying to keep our current players.
  4. The Angels are open to trading Mike Trout if he indicates to them that he wants out It is a tweet by a non-LA employee, but the optic of LAAoA putting out the notion that they are open to trading Trout without actually talking to him (i.e. if he indicates he wants out) seems pretty dysfunctional. Kind of like a media leak hoping to seed Trout's mindset? Blah If you haven't talked with him, you shouldn't be mentioning it to outsiders. If you have talked with him, why add the caveat. If the Brewers did trade for Trout, what would we do with him? Play him at DH? How do you keep him healthy?
  5. Yeah, I've noticed that too. And on pitches right down the middle where you are thinking, "why are you watching that?"
  6. I don't mean to brag, but my followers number in the 80s now! It's both of my parents, but still...
  7. I agree that his reputation was well earned and that his best position is NT... but he hasn't been really good at NT for a couple years. We sort of thought it was the DL around him... now it looks more like he might have just peaked. Right now, I think TJ plays NT better (warning: single game sample size) than Clark did last year. Hopefully, Clark picks it up, because I don't see him getting the NT position back. If he plays solid on the run and occasional pressures, I'll take it. The DL is going to rotate heavily anyway. I saw the Bears OL jump a ton of times like you mentioned. I didn't remember it on that particular play, but good catch.
  8. Granted: There once was a pitcher Chargois Who dined on a pre-game meal: foie gras His fastball was subpar His curveball was hit far And he lost the game to Peralta
  9. Great to see our pitching holding strong and our offense finally coming around!
  10. Ok, enough bashing on a poster's writing style. If you don't like it, feel free to ignore and move on.
  11. Great first post and welcome! I think you make some obvious points about several player's contributions. But getting Adames hot has always been one of the keys to getting our offense running. While maybe being a touch hyperbolic (aren't all blog writers? 😉), I think that is mainly what he is trying to say. Contreras has been consistently good this year. If Yelich and Adames play like like they can, along with our trade additions, we have a much better chance in the playoffs this year.
  12. Haven't seen any badgers, so...
  13. Listach was a flash in the pan, but what a fun '92 it was!
  14. Uh... why is this Aaron Rodgers stuff in the Packer thread? 😝
  15. The DL stint a month ago is meaningless. He isn't limited in any way. If the BP wasn't burnt out last night, I'd guess he only does 7 or 8 innings. But I'm guessing Woo fought for the right to go back out and sometimes you gotta let an Ace just do it.
  16. The Big Woo is actually my favorite nickname for him. Bonus points if you know the movie reference... 20f6850c-798d-4f44-9ee0-c5a7d0d2f218.mp4
  17. Chafin might not get in, but we are far enough ahead for Brian Anderson to finally get an AB!
  18. Adames needs a HR for the cycle tonight...
  19. A moderator already warned to move on.
  20. Cubs and Colorado are 1-1 in the 3rd.
  21. Might be a motivational move too... Hey guys, we are all in and bringing up our top candidate to show we are all in. Ignore that we would've brought him up next year anyway and we had a random 40 man roster spot open anyway...
  22. Yes, Dillon really has just gotten more and more vanilla as he aged. No wiggle, running directly into the D. I think the predictable play calling doesn't help - hey, Dillon is back there, it must be a run. But he doesn't look like the back from 2 years ago. If he can't get anything going this year, it wouldn't shock me to see Taylor promoted to the 53-man in his place. I wouldn't mind Wilson getting a few carries eventually too.
