    I think Love tends to be in that group with Goff, Herbert, Stroud, Lawrence... the good, but not great ones. If you look at statistics, Love grades out better (except yards). But I think he is put in a position to succeed quite often by the play designs (one of MLF's redeeming qualities). I don't see him doing well when something breaks down or making on the fly adjustments. If he needs to make a game winning drive at the end of the game... there seems to be very little hope of success unless someone else makes a huge play. He follows a script very, very well. I just don't see him elevate the team around him. So in that way, it makes him hard to compare on paper. I'm just not sure he is a winning QB.

    I don't doubt that he is a solid starting QB. I think I had him top 10 before...maybe top 15 now. History shows that most teams (80+%) winning the Super Bowl have a top 5 QB. Yes, Seattle won it last year with Darnold (maybe despite Darnold?). But more often than not, it has been Maholm, Rodgers, Brady, etc... That is the main reason LA dumped a good QB (Jared Goff) for an excellent QB (Stafford).

    I've defended MLF for a long time, but that win was more embarrassing than the Viking loss (which one could argue was more individual performance failures). In this game, the team looked totally unprepared... flags everywhere (granted so did the Jets), poor play calling, blah. The first inside run with Brooks in the 4th quarter was fine... sure surprise people every once in a while. But don't do it twice in row... especially with a non-running RB like Brooks. Way to take the ball out of the hands of your playmakers and put it in the hands of a blocker... Speaking of blocking... how can our RB that specializes in pass protection continue to miss blitzers? Brooks has had a very poor start to the season. Not sure what to think about Love either. He is starting to remind me of Dante Culpepper - the version that can't run. Big arm that makes plays down field, but doesn't really enhance those around him. Has there been any adjustments we see him make out there to take advantage of the defense? He feels more like one of the guys out there just executing instead of a team leader that can adjust on the fly.

    I hate Thursday Football... just terrible for the players. At least we get Atlanta at home.

    Did you forget your password or just not post for a long time? I know all the active accounts from BrewerFan.net ported over. I still have my entire history after doing something like 4 different forum conversions...

    I'm hoping there is one lefty up and that is it...
  7. CheezWizHed
    Yes, but just fixed itself. Lots of static for a while.

    I wouldn't push it. He made it but struggled his way through. I like how they've challenged and built up Gasser this year. Not pulling him immediately when he is in trouble and letthing him working his way out. Building up the mental part of the game.
  9. CheezWizHed
    Well, he has averaged 4 IP/outing for the Brewers and about 5.1 for STL.
  10. CheezWizHed
    No. In the mid-2010s, they moved where the radar registers the pitch speed. It used to be closer to the plate and they read it closer to the pitcher. The result is about a 2-3 MPH bump. Everything else is the pitcher.
  11. CheezWizHed
    Who would've thought we'd see the day where Joey O goes 1-4 and lowers his BA? I wouldn't be surprised to see May and Gasser start, but go 3-4 innings with Patrick and Drohan paired with them.
  12. CheezWizHed
    Typically 2-3 MPH higher

    As a manager, I've been fortunate to not have to lay someone off, but I was the "friend" after the layoff that helped them pack and walked them out. It seems like he has already read the tea leaves and is looking. Doesn't make it easy, though. If the person was a good worker, you can always offer a recommendation for them.

    Woody taking Kershaw and then Ohatani deep would be something! 😂

    Now is the time to use Naylor and keep Contreras and Sanchez fresh, but I do wish it wasn't with Harrison on the mound... I'd prefer a better catcher out there to give Harrison the best shot. Velocity was up last outing, but control was highly erratic. There might only be a small chance he regains his pre-injury performance this year, but that upside is sure worth trying to achieve. Miz, first half Harrison, Henderson, and May is a formidable starting lineup for the playoffs.
  16. CheezWizHed
    I couldn't remember when the voting happened, but figured that was Henderson's best chance to make up ground on the others that have more playing time, but still around the same WAR.
  17. CheezWizHed
    Yes... I know the Big "O" is for Oscar.... I fear you missed the irony of the timing though.😔 Counting down #1 and #0 with #1 the Big O (squint and you see "0"). 😉

    From what I can tell, Kraft was on the field for that play. Love audibled to the "kill" play (and flopped like a dead fish on his back) instead of the original play called. I wonder if the Kraft sneak was the original play called and they are protecting Love for the failed audible?
  19. CheezWizHed
    I'm confident he'll have bigger things to celebrate this year!

    Ok, I realize it is going to be hard for Logan to overcome Sal Stewart with his 30+HR and 100+RBI season especially with Logan under 100 IP in the majors this year. But I wonder if a strong post season might sway (even though it isn't "supposed" to) voters his way a bit? Being hot at the end of the year helps. And if you look at the race from a bWAR perspective, Logan really should be in the discussion. I'm guessing Stewart isn't the best defender given his he offensive output and poor bWAR. Logan: 3.2 bWAR, 2.34 ERA, 88.1 IP, 177 ERA+ Sal Stewart(CIN): 2.2 bWAR, 266/335/470/805, 31HR, 107 RBI, 122 OPS+ JJ Wetherholt (STL): 4.7 bWAR, 242/343/370/713, 17HR, 106 OPS+ Nolan McLean (NYM): 2.6 bWAR, 3.24 ERA, 166.2 IP, 125 ERA+ Cason Benge (NYM): 3.5 bWAR, 272/336/416/751, 18 HR, 111 OPS+ TJ Rumfield (COL): 3.7 bWAR, 300/392/455/847, 15 HR, 122 OPS+

    The ultimate zero? a 2 for 1! I see what you did there...
  22. CheezWizHed
    I did predict 90 or 92 wins this year... but passing 82 (i.e. a winning season) is always celebrated.
  23. CheezWizHed
    OK, this is actually a pretty cool fact!
  24. CheezWizHed
    I have a feeling that this year the Brewers will be
