    @Brock Beauchamp I've noticed that this ad has an annoying side effect. I'm on a computer browser and when this ad pops up, I can't scroll until it completes, or I close it. When I close it or when it finishes, it pops me back to the top of the page and I have to scroll back down to where I was reading. Sometimes it pops up consecutively which make is massively annoying.

    At U-MN, they have a class on bowling. You show up and bowl and learn to score. My HS gym class did that in 3 classes. Stories like "Clap for Credit" and bowling at U-MN make me wonder why people escalate big universities over smaller colleges. I graduated from MSOE and my easiest classes were Political Science and Calculus I (a repeat from HS). Living in the MSP area, the companies I've worked at are gaga over U-MN grads... then I find out that 1/3rd of their classes are fluff.

    Yes, it is the double concussion - especially with the special helmet - that concerns me most about Doubs.

    Agreed. While I technically could afford to pay my full income taxes, that doesn't mean I'm not going to take every potential deduction I can to keep more money in my pocket. His production I was quoting (2.4 bWAR) is right on his yearly average (2.3). He was ice cold early, so his current red-hot streak is balanced. And you are right about other players, but they have to be available for trade and there is the cost of the trade. If a team is willing to open the pocketbook, they can give up lesser prospects to get a player. No one is saying we are getting a top 100 prospect back for him. But there is no way this is even close to a JBJ situation.

    At least the SOS projections I've seen recently were based on "projected" schedules. Previously I thought they were based on last year's schedule. All of it is guessing, but seems like this makes a touch more sense. This whole year is basically going to come down to what Love does. Can he look like the late 2023 Love? Or does he plateau at 2024 Love? I think (hope?) that if the news articles are correct and he wants to lower his cap number next year to avoid being an obvious casualty that they would add 1 or 2 years to the contract. While guards do get more $$ on average than centers (which is kind of odd when you think about it), if Jenkins can reclaim his pro-bowl form at center instead of the slightly-above-average guard performance of the last couple of years, he can come out ahead anyway.

    No one can be a great starting pitcher with only two pitches.... I do think that Henderson is better off with a third pitch and I'd assume the main reason for the Brewers sending him down the first time, but it isn't like it can't be done.
  9. CheezWizHed
    Packer's release promo for their schedule reveal started to approach the level of the infamous Brewer's Dumb and Dumber video. Not nearly as funny, but still showing a fun side of the team.
  10. CheezWizHed
    Quite literally in the article you listed: "I think he's open to it," Stenavich said. "The conversations that we've had with him, yeah, he's got a lot of experience there and he was open to it, excited about it. So, ready to go." Everything I've read, this is more about next year's cap number which is higher than all OL except three LTs. Of course, nothing from Jenkins himself yet... They have one of the easiest first half schedules, but that is going to be a challenging first two games. I do like that it gets a bit easier so that offense can gel. The WR usage evolution should be interesting to watch from game 1 to game 17. Who moves up and who moves down? A couple other interesting tidbits not discussed much here: Jaire posted on Facebook "Back like I never left" and a few other 'positive Packer' posts with pictures (including one with him and MLF). But nothing in the news media. And yes, it looks like a legit FB account. Hafley has discussed using more 3-4 fronts this year than last. I do think our personnel fits that front better. Oliver and Moss fit better as 3-4 OLBs. Walker and Cooper as MLBs. LVN and Barryn can shift inside during obvious passing downs.

    So we get Gasser healthy and we have the best two pitchers in Brewer's history pitching at the same time! But yes, it is obvious Henderson needs to stay. i'm guessing they wanted him at AAA to work on his third pitch, but Fastball Freddie eventually added to his arsenal at the MLB level. I still say the plan to get Priester was for: A short-term MLB SP stop-gap now. A long-term AAA project to correct a few items. But he hasn't been terrible at the MLB level either. He had back-to-back stinkers against the Cubs and Cardinals (which can understandably produce extra Brewer fan angst), but the other 5 starts have only given up 0-2 ER. He and Tobias seems to have similar issues this year... decent results, but struggling with control
  12. CheezWizHed
    I think you are assuming they will trade him to a team like the Brewers... Plenty of other teams out there that wouldn't blink at that if they had a hole at 1B and WS aspirations.
  13. CheezWizHed
    I feel confident that we've established this season's floor. No where to go but up, right?
  14. CheezWizHed
    Matt Arnold working on his roster management skills.
  15. CheezWizHed
    While true, they weren't winning with Lillard on the court either. And relying on older players increases this risk, so there is part of this that is part of roster construction.
  16. CheezWizHed
    I'm seeing he is at 0.6 bWAR, so he must've had quite a weekend! 😂 But that puts him around 2.5 bWAR on the season, so he is certainly earning his $18M (or right on the $22M if you want to add in next years $4M to decline the option). People aren't going to be knocking down our door for him, but if someone has a 1B hole, we should expect a positive return and nothing close to a JBJ situation. Not to mention that deals at the deadline (where options are scarce) are much different than the offseason when JBJ was traded.

    "Clap for Credit" - Classic😂 These are the learning opportunities that some people need. Welcome to adulthood!

    Brandon used up his 30 day injury rehab, so a new injury would need to be in play to extend the injury rehab (if that is indeed what happened).

    If Giannis went to San Antonio, I could cheer for that team. They were unofficially my second favorite team during the Robinson/Duncan era. Plus a smaller city with similar struggles to draw like Milwaukee (and a beautiful city if you've never done the Riverwalk...and remember the Alamo). For Dallas, the Luka deal went south with their fans so quickly, they might try a splash move to rebound quickly. But it could backfire just as badly on them in the long run...
  20. CheezWizHed
    Maybe you should open a lawsuit against the county for that...
  21. CheezWizHed
    To be fair, Arnold received criticism from day 1 of his hiring... Also, Williams bWAR is -0.8 while Durbin (-0.2) and Nestor (-0.3) make this a clear win on the trade.
  22. CheezWizHed
    If he remains happy and healthy (two big "IFs"), that would be the biggest offseason addition we could've made.
  23. CheezWizHed
    BrewerFan said "snaps" so I'm guessing that includes those RBs in the game on passing plays that go to WR and TEs also (i.e pass block or outlet routes). They need to be in the game for that too. Those snaps I listed where the RB was the focus of the play came up to 30 snaps per game, so just under 50% of the 62 average.
  24. CheezWizHed
    I'm guessing "snaps" doesn't mean "carries". You need RBs in the game during passing plays too. Just for comparison: Ave Carries and Pass Targets per game in 2024: Jacobs 17.7, 2.5 Wilson 6.0, 0.8 Brooks 2.4, 0.9

    I'm reading The Beirut Protocol; the 4th book in Joel Rosenberg's Markus Ryker book series. The series has a Tom Clancy-like feel and is heavily focused on international politics; especially in the complicated Middle East. I find the series interesting as he is able to capture a lot of real international politics and/or tensions while telling an interesting espionage action fictional story. For example (not a real spoiler here...), one of the books in the series dealt with Russia potentially invading Ukraine and the US's response to those actions.... all written years before Russia actually attacked Ukraine.
