  1. They did adjust to Giannis too... changed how they were "building the wall". Seem to be playing a loose zone on him too. Everyone makes some adjustments, just not all of them work.
  2. Yes, I'll third that. He did what he needed to for the team - go deep and save the BP. With a 6 run league, someone can take it from him and close it out.
  3. Yes, I was thinking about him leaving or Maddux. When Maddux left, there was a perceptible dip (probably due to multiple things, but...). Not so much with DJ. I think they have a better system setup than one individual pitching coach.
  4. Remember the old days where it seemed as if we couldn't keep a good pitching coach and pitchers leaving the Brewers found better luck elsewhere? Seems like that tide has turned in a big way. I have to say that I couldn't be more impressed by the organizational turnaround in this area. It occurred to me when thinking about Gustave and adding a second pitch... "Well, I'm sure our pitching clinic can fix that!" ... on a 28 yo "retread" arm. (Retread = he has arm talent, but bounced around without establishing much at MLB - couldn't think of a better term) Whether it is the development of Woo, Burnes, and Peralta or small adjustments to BP arms that make them more effective... there is a lot to like about how we are working with pitchers.
  5. I actually think Shaq would be a "Moneyball" impact in today's NBA. Teams have gone so small, he would make a huge mismatch. Obviously, he would give up a lot if the other team has a big that can shoot 3s, but frankly, I'd bet on Shaq during his peak years.
  6. Lebron gets knocked because of going to Miami and making a big deal about playing with Wade and recruiting what's-his-name in Miami. Then going back to Cleveland when they had a ton of top draft picks. Trading for Love was a huge splash...he just didn't turn out well. But for the Bucks.. This is most of the players' first finals. I think they are just getting what it takes to play under the big lights. Too bad DDV isn't getting the experience. Having Holiday and DDV to play on Chris and Booker would've really pressed their main playmakers. For whatever was bothering Giannis last night, he played incredible team ball. Many nights he would charge into the wall, but he seemed to pick his spots much better last night. Much smarter offense. And I'd agree that Bud certainly has made adjustments along the way that have made big differences. Even if they lost last night, they showed that they have figured out the formula for slowing the Suns down.
  7. I think I woke everyone in my apartment building with my scream and follow up "Woooooo!" My wife: I've never seen you fist pump the air before. I started yelling "NOOOOO" (because I figured they would foul Holliday and didn't want it in Giannis' hands)... then "YESSSSSS!"
  8. Well, at least he can rebound... yikes!
  9. Evidently, Booker can grab the body all he likes...
  10. [sarcasm]Khris just isn't a #2...[/sarcasm]
  11. In Q1, it was looking like we had no chance. Thus, our only hope was getting to game 7. But now a huge swing to having a major chance of stealing the win here. It has been a huge swing.
  12. Yeah this went from "hope we can get another shot in Game 7" to "this absolutely has to be the one we steal". When? Q1 looked like this was going to be a stinker...
  13. Chris turned into a cardboard cut-out... on the court the last couple games.
  14. It's weird. He is playing well; especially passing. But just not like typical Giannis.
  15. He is constantly in the ref's ear. What an unlikable guy. Glad it's not just me seeing that. Every time play stops, he is whining about a non-call or about a call against him...
  16. If Giannis has covid, you pretty much have to quarantine both teams...
  17. Has Giannis dunked one yet tonight? He looks off.
  18. Link report always includes a link to all the day's box scores with updated player averages. https://www.brewcrewball.com/ also does a daily summary of only the top 30 (or so) Brewer prospects.
  19. They traded Pederson for a tall, left-handed bat with a lot of power and a 28% k rate. Sounds like Pederson, except he is learning to play 1B and can't play OF.
