  1. Last playoffs, people were complaining about Turang.
  2. I was hoping they would. It clearly clipped the guard. Ump was going off sound. They would've lost that challenge.
  3. Not Turang. Yelich, yes. Turang is just coming into his own as a hitter. Yelich is past the prime.
  4. Yeah, I couldn't remember what FB Gasser threw. I knew he had a lot more breaking stuff and kept his FB out on the edges (when pitching well).
  5. Interesting... Walter probably returns to start game 3 or 4 (if it exists). Meanwhile the team gets an extra reliever in the BP.
  6. Nice write-up. Interesting catch on May. I figured he'd get one start... either #3 or #4. Did you look at how Gasser lines up?
  7. This was my thought too... 2028 is a long way away and lots could happen between now and then.
  8. I saw this and my first thought was... must be AI. Second thought was two people that know each other well enough to get away with it... Stress, yes. Real contention, doubtful.
  9. He had 3pt shooters galore surrounding him last year...yet he continued to plow into 1 on 3 situations without even bothering to look. Sure, he trusted Khris and Jrue more, but there were a ton of people standing wide open at the 3 point line watching him flail in the paint.
  10. The articles I've read from two packer site seem to have Tomlinson as a foregone conclusion at LG. They were also reporting that Zeitler, Jennings, and Glover were working at RG. Zeitler would start if he is ready (physically and understanding the offensive calls). Becton sounds like his is further from ready as he was more recently recovered from an injury.
  11. Those other places didn't plagiarize, but it was pretty odd coincidence that the same concept I posted in BF suddenly came out in another article. That author even has an account here... I mean, fair is fair... I'm posting anonymously on a forum, but you can always give credit where credit is due. 🙂
  12. Watching the Ump call balls and strikes is one of the more frustrating parts of baseball (especially Hernandez). The umps aren't part of the game - they are simply meant to be judges. I'll admit that I do miss the Bill Martin temper tantrums, the nose-to-nose arguments with the umps, and the kicking of sand at each other... but that is already been eliminated in today's game anyway. There is going to be a whole generation of baseball fans that won't understand The Naked Gun baseball scene at all... The best an Ump can do be is be invisible to a game - he doesn't add any value. But he can certainly take away value. If we can have a better way to allow the two teams compete fairly, then I'm all for it.
  13. It was great to see Chourio starting to break out with power now. Good sign for things to come. Turang - remember when many of us thought he wouldn't be a viable MLB hitter? Age of a player does matter. Mitchell - I'm so happy for this guy to stay healthy. His injuries were so oddly varied, yet something consistently happened each year. Finally kicked the bug. Good to see what he can do when healthy. Joey O - a weird season that almost perfectly mirrored his 2024 season. Now can he just take the first half of 2024 and the last half of 2026 and pair them into 2027?
  14. I even did a bunch of the work for you: Once or twice a year, I see another Brewer site post an article that mirrors 90% of one of my posts or blogs a few days after I post it... We aren't a bad source of info. 😉
  15. Not sure how we got to "watching robots".... but that would be cool. But seriously... while Matt tried to show how the ABS challenge system helped the Brewers, my only take away was that we had more bad calls against us then for us. Why would I want to watch Umps make bad calls? I'll admit that I've been impressed by most Ump's abilities to be so detailed on the strike zone, but certain Ump just have bad days... do you really want an Ump with a bad day to ruin a World Series run for the Brewers? At least Angel Hernandez isn't in the mix anymore... Assuming that the ABS system can have immediate ball and strike calls... I'll be happy to give up on the ump calling them. Then he doesn't need to be back there risking a foul tip off the mask either.
  16. I literally said this to my son this week. I doubt it happens, but that would be funny. And as a double bonus... it would stop all the Giannis to LA or Giannis to NY rumors... 😂 Sadly, yes. Last year showed a really bad side of GA. He needs to get back to being one of the guys - showing up on time, practicing, playing with the team, sharing the ball. Our championship year, he had the ball in his hands a lot, but he also gave it up FAR more than he did last year. Use your team and let them set you up too. I think Budenholzer kept him in check a bit more. Rivers just let him run the team way too much.
  17. Monk was the preferred starter at RG both week 1 and week 2. I never quite understood why Belton stopped playing RG during training camp and switched to backing up RT only, but they did pick Monk as the preferred starter.
  18. The Curious Case of Andrew Fischer Which one will dominate his MLB experience? HRs (and Ks) or just Ks? He is both extremely exciting and scary as a player.
  19. So you presented the offensive impact, but didn't present how it impacted our pitchers. But ABS challenges are a transitional trifle... Time to just go to the ABS system calling balls and strikes. People trust it more than umpires already. You presented that we would've gained 8 runs on offense with automatic balls and strike calls... what would've been the impact to our pitchers?
  20. Welcome to week 4 of the NFL season and game 3 on the road already. The Packers OL has spent a busy week and a half introducing themselves to each other. Better late than never I guess. But who is ready to start is the big question. Will Zeitler have enough time (great German pun...) to be able to play this week? Tampa hasn't looked great either... but poor looking teams have looked great against the Packers so far this year. The 91 degree temps in Tampa doesn't do us any favors either.
  21. I get that you don't have confidence in MLF or his opinions... but pick any LG in the league (starter, backup or PS) that has started for a couple years in the league. You don't think it is a stretch to say that person couldn't switch to RG and be no worse than Monk starting? Seems like MLF could say they sky is blue and you'd debate it right now. 😉
  22. MN fans around me seem to have mixed reactions. JJ was certainly holding back the Vikings last year (whereas the Jets stunk at a team around Darnold). And the term "immature" is thrown around a lot amongst the reports... making me think he had some locker room issues. But then people reference Darnold in saying that JJ will go win a SB now that the Vikings gave up on him. I get why the Giants took the flyer (why not with Dart out all year), but I really don't think there is anything there. I wasn't impressed by him in college either.
