  1. Especially with all the spelling and grammar checking tools out there. Some of the basics missed is appauling.
  2. Oh, I know it is about the clicks, but even the article titles are so bad it isn't even enticing. But it goes beyond the normal writers too. I see them on FB feeds for groups that follow WI sports. People proudly post their sim draft and say, "Look at who the Packers got!!!" I think this might actually make it worse for the GMs because people think that is all it takes to get Player X. Well, I moved up and took the #1 player on the board, why couldn't Gute???
  3. The draft sim tools that have come out in the last couple years are really cool.... but the articles on every Tom, Dick, and Harry's simluated drafts are getting ridiculous. I even saw one article that blasted Gute because he could potentially do this draft the author did.... Really??? This is what "jounalism" has come to?
  4. Holy double posting batman! Seems like a systemic issue here! But for the article, it would've been good to note how many groundballs the Brewers also incur on defense compared to others. Seems like we have a pretty high-K rate group so there are simply fewer GBs to go around. Especially if Houser ends up in the pen this year.
  5. My college years would've been much more fulfilling after moving to Milwaukee and actually seeing some games... if Molly had been there. Would've been great to have him on the team when Yount hit his 3000th, too.
  6. Yeah, Ax-man doesn't make this list IMO. Also, I'm surprised there was no shout out for Trevor Hoffman. His numbers with Milwaukee don't compare, but he did achieve his 600th save as a Brewer and retired after 2 seasons with the Crew as the all-time saves leader.
  7. I wonder how much the transfer media buzz of players flocking to WI has helped with the HS recruits. Certainly has to perk up a kids ears to see all sorts of 3 and 4 star recruits suddenly transferring in...
  8. yes, thanks. We realize it isn't current. That doesn't change that it is still the best logo.
  9. Ball & Glove Logo is the best logo out there. Hands down. They gave him the best of the best.
  10. No reason to be down in the mouth about the situation... 😂 Sorry, I'll show myself out (and yes, I've had 2 root canals...one of the emergency vareity)
  11. I'm sure I'll get to in in the next 3-4 years... 😂 I just watched the entire Godzilla King of Monsters so I can watch Godzilla vs Kong. (Which I'll say was "ok" ).
  12. Rick Manning's main claim to fame is as the guy that ended Paul Molitors 39 game hitting streak. Not a fair claim to fame (he had a game winning hit with Pauly on deck), but that still is the only thing I remember him for...
  13. I'll give Deer #5 just for Easter day 1987. 😉 But yes, a sentimental favorite of mine as a kid - Moliter then Deer for my 12 yo self. Burnitz was #1 in helicoptering bats into the stands and was certainly a nice find on a bad team, but Yellich's peak as MVP give him the edge, IMO. I forgot how good Hart actually was....
  14. They are going to have to increase it to two calls in order to pay the increased commercial costs...
  15. Yeah, Scott Po was a fun story as a waiver wire pickup, but Mr. Untuckem' and LoCain certainly were better CFers. I mean Cameron should be #2 simply from how he annoyed the Cardinals so much by untucking his jersey!
  16. Frankly, I'd expect it to work just like that... I mean, the advertising agencies aren't dummies. They know what works. Not a drug example... but back when I bought my first computer (a sweet 25MHz x486 with 250MB HD and 2MB RAM), my dad wanted to give me whatever advice he could in making this $1000 purchase. My dad is very blue collar and loathed technology. So mustering all his knowledge of electronics, he asked me, "Did you get Intel inside?" When someone is struggling with something and it is in an area they aren't comfortable with (i.e. medicines), yes they will default to TV ads.
  17. I'm rarely recent on my movie watching so bear with me... Saw "Knives Out" and really enjoyed it. Daniel Craig's Kentucky drawl was bad (especially early in the film), but the plot and the twists were excellent. I figured out the how, but not the who of the movie. I had both of Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot movies figured out before the end (Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile - still good movies), but this one had me guessing to the end. On the opposite side, I saw Wonder Woman 1984.... ugh. How bad can a super hero movie be??? I can't think of a single redeeming aspect of this film. It just kept getting worse and worse. Pedro, this is not the way!
  18. Wouldn't Rodgers make them a better TV draw? Bump up their merch sales? Butts in the seats isn't the biggest revenue maker anymore...
  19. I'll guarantee Anderson out-hits the Babe this year. I mean the Babe didn't even crack the MLB last year.
  20. Digging into his past a bit for a few nuggets: His career minor league numbers are 261/339/416/755. Making it seem that his 800+ OPS years (at age 26 and 27) were his upper end. His career MLB numbers are just about the same: 256/341/410/750. Despite the decline in his bat, his bWAR was still positive the last 5 years (3.0, 3.3, 1.8, 1.3, 0.3). His defensive bWAR is normally slightly above average (0.4-0.8) until last year when it was minimally below (-0.4) 2021 - Left Shoulder subluxation- went on IR twice for this, including the 60 day to end the season. 2022 - Hit IR 3 times, including a left Shoulder strain. So if healthy, I'd guess he'd give us a 750 OPS with decent defense and 1.5-2.0 WAR. That would be a slight offensive improvement on Urias with about the same D.
  21. Wasn't Correa Exhibit A, B, and C? 😅
  22. Seattle trading for Rodgers and then drafting a successor QB would be pretty funny...
  23. Yes, more likely the later and of course extentions can still come.... but not signing is a leverage tactic if the Brewers and his agent are currently in discussions.
  24. Might Corbin's lack of contract indicate they are trying to sign a longer term deal and buy out a FA year or two? Or does it mean Corbin is playing hardball on arby numbers...indicating we don't have a prayer for his FA years. Just a guess but I think Rowdy will end the year at 2-3WAR.
