  1. You missed the Red's game last Sunday where we put up 8 runs. I assume a calendar week is Sun-Sat...
  2. Funny how Ortiz and Hall (Burnes trade) started off hot and then had a couple of years of poor play...but are back to being key contributors. Harrison and Drohan (Durbin trade) started off hot and... not doing well right now....
  3. I didn't mean 700 OPS on the season, but back to that 700+ OPS guy he has been (that he isn't right now).
  4. I'd agree with you long-term, but if the playoffs start today, I'd have Gasser as my fourth. If inning fatigue is the issue, that probably won't get better this year.
  5. If this were a playoff game, I'd agree. In the position we are in, I'm ok with rotating people around and making sure everyone gets starts. If Sal keeps playing like this, he will probably play himself off the team. But if he gets back to 700+OPS Sal, he is helpful
  6. You didn't answer my question. Would you trust him to start in the playoffs right now? His FB speed is down, his arm angle dropped... he hasn't been the same since he got injured. This is something more than a "cold" stretch. There is something very different about how he was pitching and what is going on now...
  7. Only 14?? Pathetic offense! We will annihilate them.
  8. I've not seen Drohan pitch for a while (thankfully??)... any hints on what changed for him? Well, he certainly hasn't been pitching roses lately... Doesn't mean he can't bounce back, but would you trust him in the playoffs right now?
  9. I'll put my view on the slow starts... I think it is more about the approach to preseason and the readiness of the team. Rodgers was infamous towards the end of his tenure for not wanting to play any live games (or do anything voluntary, for that matter). Whether it was his attitude, MLF being cautious, or both, the rest of the starters never played preseason either. That changed a little early with Love, but then went back to just "head-to-head practices". With Love playing one game in the preseason... maybe the team is a bit more prepared? Either way, I've spoken to other teams' fans, and they also have the opinion that the first three games of the season are more of a preseason in the regular season.
  10. Execute whom? 😶😂
  11. I've not used LLM for stocks, but I use it in spreadsheets all the time. They tend to work better if you give them multiple step instructions and walk them through the process. Just be warned that if you don't know what you are doing, don't expect AI to do it right for you. But once you have a solid step-by-step instruction, it will do what you need very well, quickly, and repeatedly.
  12. Yes, I've use a Weber kettle for 25+ years and you can snuff out the fire in 20 min. I added a Chargriller 980 charcoal smoker and it takes much longer to stop, so it does waste more charcoal. The weber has a gas starter, so the charcoal would be ready in 5 min, but it eventually stopped working about 10 years ago and I couldn't find replacement parts for it. I use a chimney starter with a little olive oil on the paper... lights up in 15 min. Not as fast a gas, but the taste is not comparable.
  13. Listening to coaches talk about their team or the team's performance is about the last thing I like to do (only listening to politicians is worse). I can't remember the last time I listened to a post-game discussion by the coaches or players.
  14. Donald might help some this year, but is probably more hype than substance at this point. He was dropping off quickly the last two years he played... and that was 3 years ago. Having 2 years off might have helped his health, but it comes at the expense of keeping his body in peak physical shape. The margins are razor thin at the highest level of any professional sport. I'm pretty sure by the end of the year, he will have minimal or negative impact for the team.
  15. Starting off the 2026 regular season at the same place we ended the 2025 regular season, but in a game that matters this time. The first 2-3 games of the season always feel like a box of Forrest Gump confectionaries... you never know what you are going to get. Questions abound with this new Packer team, but so does the potential. On Defense Can we keep pressure on Kylar Murray without Parsons? Or will we prefer to keep containment on a QB that is more dangerous with his feet? Who gets the benefit? Gannon's familiarity with Murray's strengths and weaknesses or Murray's familiarity with Gannon's D? How will our DB hold up with three solid WRs? On Offense How will a gimpy offensive line that hasn't played much together (or might have 2 backups starting) hold up to Flores' blitz happy D? Will we be able to run the ball at all? The Vikings DTs are rookies, but our interior OL and RBs are unproven also. What will come with our offensive strengths - Love to Golden, Reed, Watson, and Kraft? Will Love have time to connect with our strongest assets? Vikings' pass defense was very strong last year, but probably more on their ability to pressure than the talent in the DB backfield.
  16. I use my in-law's gas grill when I'm at their house. Charcoal is SOOOO much better. Nothing comes out as good without the kiss of the dragon!
  17. That doesn't make much sense... AI speaks many languages. China is heavily invested in AI development with their own models too. I have two sons that graduated this year (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science). I can confirm that the job market is pretty tough. But we've had ups and downs like this before.
  18. Once the cat is out of the bag, it will be impossible to put it back. No way teams and players are going to give up the $$ for Bowl games. We already see NFL draft picks skipping the Bowl games...
  19. Indiana says "Hi!"...
  20. Or we just shortcut the process and have Sproat dump his girlfriend?
  21. Clearly, they have this "somewhere"... I was referring to someone actively coaching players for this in the Brewer's org
  22. I hate to say it, but Sproat reminds me of Manny Parra. Lots of arm talent, but he gets rattled easily and struggles to recover. I wonder if they have coaching for handling pressure and keeping focus?
  23. We need some dudes for the postseason. Better than having duds.
  24. But over the past couple of years, we've built up a tolerance to getting knocked out of the playoffs... so clearly we will win either path we take!
