    Note: I split the Rookie of the month (and Year?) discussion to its own topic since it was a bit hidden in the Burnes' trade discussion. And this certainly should be highlighted for Ortiz!

    I think he was mostly focused on the roster generation for this year. Yes, Olson could be a SP option for the Brewers right now, but I don't think a missed trade in 2021 was the point of what he was doing. Maybe if the trade was meant for this year... I keep holding my breath that his back will catch up with him again. Hopefully he remains healthy. He was clearly not the same hitter a couple of years ago. If he was healthy no one would have an issue, but chronic back issues are nothing to sneeze at.

    As I sit here staring at the name on my shirt, I have no one to blame but myself...

    Screen capture please (for those of us not able to watch)!

    But the good news is that we can't lose the series. But let's still stomp the Cubs! 😄

    Is there really a "rubber match" in a four-game series? 🤔
  7. CheezWizHed
    So you are inferring that his defense at 1B and/or the players at 1B at the MLB level are what is blocking him from making the MLB? I think he has better opportunities at 1B than displacing Yelich and all the other young OFers at LF. The pipeline at 1B is pretty empty so unless he fails at 1B defense, this really makes no sense. Compound that with zero OF minutes since 2022 (and very limited even then) and I'd say it is pretty safe to say this isn't in the Brewers' plans.

    And zero % of the teams not making the playoffs won the finals... 😉😂

    I admit that I hate that you can get a full year subscription and then still have certain games blacked out. Obvious way to get people to try out Apple TV. But Tmobile subscribers get it for free (and MLB.TV), so I suppose I can't complain too much... But that annoying voice of that one announcer... ooof that was hard to listen to.

    Look, I like discussion, but seriously learn to summarize. TLDR. Agreeing to disagree since we clearly don't see eye to eye on DT, DE or LBs in this new system.
  11. CheezWizHed
    Yes, Cox... did I ever mention that I stink at names? 😅 Yes, 250lbs is small for a 4-3 edge (i.e. DE). No Clay (nor Nolan, nor Reddick) is not the same as a 3-4 edge (i.e. OLB). They play different gaps. Reddick moved to the Jets and there are a lot of similar questions about him playing DE for them. Likewise for Leonard Floyd and the 49ers. They might have more gap responsibilities, but they are also farther out. Far fewer snaps against a G and more snaps against the TE/WR/RB on the outside. It isn't impossible for him to play 250lbs as a DE, but he pretty much has to be in obvious passing downs only unless he ends up being very "special" at defending the run. You tend to pick the "special" players as your examples, but Cox is an UDFA that hasn't shown much special to this point. As you say, for the 5th guy in the rotation, that isn't as much as a concern. I wasn't comfortable at #4 and expecting him to put in significant NFL snaps this year. My original point was relief that Enagbare was back, pushing Cox and similarly small UDFA backups down to 5th+ on the depth chart instead of 4th. Frankly, unless Cox really busts out this year, I wouldn't be surprised if the Pack went with 4 DEs on the 53 man and put Cox on the PS again.
  12. CheezWizHed
    But he was decent 3-4 years ago, which was the point of my comment as a "younger Houser". (i.e. low K rate, high GB%, around replacement level SP).
  13. CheezWizHed
    Kind of looks like a younger Adrian Houser type pitcher. Certainly wouldn't hurt given our injury issues.
  14. CheezWizHed
    Agreed. Probably makes sense as to why we didn't invest (even really in a solid UDFA) DE position this year. Gary, Smith, VN, and Enagbare is a pretty solid DE position. Moss seems a bit light as a DE, but maybe he gained weight or will be used in a rotating basis this year?
  15. CheezWizHed
    Judge not another man's man-crush(es). 😂 Hopper just gives me too many Owen Burke vibes. So I'm waiting to see him play before I try to expect too much.
  16. CheezWizHed
    December looks rough... We have a "home" game in Chicago but then the 49ers (can be break Shanahan's spell?), a short week to play the Dolphins, then another Thursday game at Detroit, and wrapping up at Seattle.

    There are more SBs won by 30+ year old QBs than 21-25 year old QBs... Most often the mental part of the game just isn't there for them and that takes time to develop. The Lions keeping Goff isn't a bad decision. I'd wager Goff will outplay most if not all the rookie QBs picked this year. But keeping him at that $$ is crazy. Maybe this is their "shot" at a SB by keeping the continuity of the team, but you hamstrung yourself pretty heavily for the future. But the premise that QBs on their rookie contract is the easiest way to win a SB is wrong. Few QBs on their rookie deal win a SB. Most that do are in their 4th or 5th year of the contract. I think Brady and Mahomes are pretty much the lone exceptions to that since 2000. And more 1st round QBs are busts than hits. The trick is knowing which QBs have gone past their peak (26-32) and really can't lead you to the SB anymore. It was at that point I switched from holding onto Rodgers to trading him. The Vikings were smart (or lucky?) to move on from Cousins. Cousins could win one with the right supporting staff, but that supporting staff isn't in MN right now. Goff reminds me of a younger Cousins a bit. Not the elite, but the very good. He will win you a few games and keep you in others, but isn't the Mahomes, Brady, Rodgers, etc... level.

    Put me in coach! Put me in!
  19. CheezWizHed
    Lauer wasn't bad...until he lost his control. He just didn't have the stuff to lose pitches over the middle or give up walks. Gasser is very similar in those aspects.
  20. CheezWizHed
    That is always positive...
  21. CheezWizHed
    Oooo... 8 straight wins over the Cardinals.... NICE!
  22. CheezWizHed
    White knuckling that one, but a win is a win!
  23. CheezWizHed
    I'm almost as bad...
  24. CheezWizHed
    Are you trying to curry people's favor?
  25. CheezWizHed
    In game threads normally get a bit more leash, but seriously... knock it off.
