    That pitch was quite a ways outside and broke down and back on Willy. Pretty hard to know it was coming back in.
  2. CheezWizHed
    Back to Willy! Time for another run!
  3. CheezWizHed
    Followed by Yeli!

    Good job Willy!

    Cease with 90 pitches while Rea had 43... wow, that is a big disparity

    RIght. Using the first-round pick to trade away Pat, Lopez, or Bobby as a means to shed salary. Pat is probably just a dump. You might get something "youngish" back in return. But more importantly, you allow yourself to sign a FA that will more likely contribute than the #23 or #33 pick. Yes, we need to get younger, but the end of the NBA must be the most crap-shootingest of all crap-shoot pro sports drafts. Yes, you can get good players but there are such a high percentage that completely flop... I think we have a better luck attracting young players with a few years of experience that can contribute.

    Well, trading it away is easy... getting actual value might be hard. Not having actual value (while carrying the same price tag) probably adds to the likelihood of it being traded.

    Hmmm. Brewers vs Orioles in the WS. Game 7 comes down to Cy Young Corbin Burnes pitching against ROY Joey Ortiz in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs in a tie game.... could be interesting.

    I tend to hate MN less since the Brewers are in the NL. 1987 still stings though... Plus Kent Hrbek pushed him off the bag with the tag. But I'd cheer for a MN/MIL World Series where we sweep them. Beyond St. Louis (#1) and Cubs (a close #2), the Yanks draw the rest of my ire.

    March/April: 2.9 PA/G May: 3.8 PA/G June: 4.1 PA/G You might notice a trend...

    Brew Hoop did a comprehensive article (though headache inducing due to the cap complexities) about the Buck's cap situation and things they have to do to remain under the second apron so they can actually make impactful changes to the roster. Two points I thought were pretty spot on: 1) One easy way to shed salary is to trade their 1st round pick. It could be packaged with Brooks or Bobby to bring back an impact player or with Pat to salary dump. 2) We have a pretty significant group of young players and adding 2 more low picks probably isn't the most beneficial. It looks like AJJ and AJG will be rotation players next year, so they probably won't move. Beauchamp and Livingston look less likely to contribute while Beauchamp is probably the only one with tradeable value. So I'm guessing that since our 1st round pick is one of our best tradeable assets (and adds more $$ to the cap), I tend to think that we will only add one second round pick this year and probably move the 1st round pick.

    I tend to doubt any of the big 3 are moved... but it is the offseason. Got to talk about something. I just never saw Dame and Giannis as overly comfortable with each other. Granted it takes time to play together also and they barely had anything - preseason or in-season to really work on it. Throw in the coaching carousel that started with Stotts in and out... and there was little continuity for how to work together either.
  13. CheezWizHed
    So what are the odds that Lillard or Middleton are traded this year? Maybe another year with Giannis will help Lillard fit in better, but he certainly looked out of sorts last year.
  14. CheezWizHed
    I tend to disagree on both fronts. His defense might not be great, but I doubt that is what is holding him back from playing at the MLB level. His bat is simply unproven at the MLB level and he didn't (except for that wonderful debut) hit well this year. If he was hitting as well as Turang (who is certainly better than Frelick right now), Black would be starting at 1B over Bauers. The Club spent resources on Bauers and he was clearly going to get a shot. He caught lightning in a bottle when Black was up initially so you aren't going to dump him at that time for Black who was hitting worse. Now that Bauers has cooled off and unfortunately at the level of his previous poor production, there is clearly more upside in Black. Yes, that means dumping Bauers, but if they need to find another 1B with his current level of production, that isn't terribly hard.
  15. CheezWizHed
    Yes, the very short lived visual of pretending to shoot a bow and then turning to aim another direction. Not overly creative, but iconic.
  16. CheezWizHed
    Well, that confirms it then! It's always the last one you'd suspect! 😅

    Jake had a hot streak going for a little while. But has been horrible for the last 28 days: 175/254/246/500 with a 44 OPS+ And his season stats are right in line with his career stats. The Brewers have been great at finding players that other teams want to be rid of and finding use in them (Perkins, Hudson), but when they don't work out, you can't make it worse by holding on to them. Bauers looks like he is going the way of Owens - flashed in the pan, but ultimately sizzled out. Know when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em. But I think the player to look to for improvement is already in the organization. Time to give Black another shot a the MLB level. When he came up last time, Bauers was hot and made it hard to justify him sitting. Now, Black can be given an extended look.

    After a 20-year hiatus, I started golfing again this year. My short game will still save me from my poor drives and get me on the greens, but then I'll 3 putt. 🤦‍♂️
  19. CheezWizHed
    Drive for show, putt for dough! Too bad I do neither well...
  20. CheezWizHed
    Yeah, putting him on 1st with it open to pitch to a sub-200 batter was easily the right decision.
  21. CheezWizHed
    He did the normal handshake routine. I saw him with a finger in his mouth so maybe a cut or something like that.
  22. CheezWizHed
    I was too late with the meme...
  23. CheezWizHed
    @edfunderburk, time to look now.
  24. CheezWizHed
    Ok, that was supposed to be a joke and not predictive...
  25. CheezWizHed
    Oh my goodness! you won't believe what just happened!
