Approaching 150ABs of Adames batting below 550 OPS. Can they option him and call up Turang? Looks like 106days to rewind his clock another year.

Pointless. No reason to ask this question until after the trade deadline-Next year. Because at that point you'll know what the returns are(if any) for all the Brewers whose control ends after 2024 season. Which stands at 7-10players. Team could blow it up this year by trading most of those players and say Urias/Williams/Rea controlled through 2025. Tank to 70-ish wins, get a top 8 draft selection and have a stocked aplenty minors system of players you're likely seeing 5 or more play in September.

Adames actually had a 1 pt. worse OPS than Turang had for month of May. By my numbers he's at 400 OPS thus far in June even worse. There's no SS you're putting in for Adames right now that you may get 700 OPS from within the 40man. As Turang weakened after his nice start, Adames followed a couple weeks later. No competition, the position is his. Maybe tanking to get traded if internally a contract extension talk soured him. Adames still has next season before FA. All it takes is good one to return his value and a team 1 off a bad cpl months in 23.

Seems time to return him and remove Singleton.

The counter I'd have on the RBs to shorten the field, is Rodgers had the green light to run, pass option change Lafluer's(whoever) called play at his discretion. He'd pass out wide to a WR when the O-line/RBs were in motion for the play to be a run. If the WR didn't catch the ball or break that first tackle, very little yards gained/none/lost yardarge. Had the running play happened, well Jones has a 5yards per carry avg. Dillon below 4 I believe. Expect it'll be different this season as Love won't be reading defenses anywhere as well Rodgers did to change the play without anyone knowing but him and the WR. Rbs will get the ball fed to them running more clock and more consistent pulling 4yards or more to shorten the field, even gaining 1st downs. Expect this to lead to a bunch of play action utilizing the 2 TEs or over the top deep balls to Watson. He really does have the full array of weapons that Rodgers never had. 2 receiving TEs vs Kuhn plus Finley.

Nice to see 2nd HR had runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2outs. Excited for this guy. He has to be headed to AAA before too long. How the team works him in to the Milwaukee lineup next season with Contreras really leaves me wondering. Which of the 2 puts on a 1b glove and plays there? How much DH time could there be when Yelich you would assume slides there next season.

Well for being 2 years younger and obviously not to the 119games Walker played for his entire age 20 season in 2022, Chourio has some games to build up to the similar stats besides hrs/rbi. Looks like we're at 38games thus far. You'd imagine the callup would happen in late June early July to AAA when a healthy Frelick/Wiemer would have joined the team. Injuries moved Wiemer right away and unfortunately took Frelick less than 3 weeks later. 6-8weeks is what was said Frelick would be down. What are we 3weeks in? Expect a callup around 65-70AA games to AAA. He can add 60+games at AAA to determine a Sept callup. August 1st if the crew trade say Wiemer or Frelick around deadline.

No it's the expectation because he has 2 veteran RBs to shorten down and distance to go. It's the expectation because Gutekunst used 2 draft picks in 2020 to select Love over helping the current team. He's special, that's what that move suggested. Love has had 3 years to prepare for this role. Burrows, Herbert, Tua, and Jalen Hurts had none. Hurts drafted after Love already established top tier QB besides Burrows and Herbert. I expect better from Love than rookie level record. Year 2&3 from the 4-Herbert 9&10 wins. Hurts 8&14 wins. Tua 7&8 wins. Burrows isn't fair to comp considering his sure fire generational QB taken 1-1, but 10&12. Average year 2- 8.5 wins. Year 3- 11 wins. I don't get why it should be comparable to Rodgers' 6wins just because 7 games lost were by 7 pts or less, with 5 being 3pts or less. Expected w/l was 8.9. 8.9wins in a 16game season is where the comp should be. Not the actual w/l. So again 9 at 16games and 10 if 17games. 2007 they faced a schedule for a 1st place 13win team. This season is following a 3rd place 8 win team. Easier schedule. Jennings was Rodgers #1 WR a 3rd year 52nd pick in 2nd rd. And Driver. Nelson and Finley were rookies that season. Ryan Grant and Brandon Jackson RBs with Kuhn FB. Compare Watson-Jennings Doubs-Driver Musgrave/Reed-Nelson Kraft-Finley Jones/Dillon-Grant Jackson. Seems to me Love has more weapons to play with better RBs again. He just doesn't have the veteran Driver but a higher drafted similar size Doubs. I think Gutekunst should be removed from GM if the team doesn't win 7 or more games. With only Love suffering a 10game or more injury saving him from that expectation. He built this roster for Love's emergence, not at all to surround Rodgers the last 3 seasons.

Wave the white flag and trade who's still playing that helps another team for a value prospect

I agree the defense should put more pressure on QBs. More pressure means more QBs making quick and at times poor decisions throwing the ball or bad throws on the run. The secondary will have more opportunities to make interceptions if they can catch the damn ball. That is giving the offense better field position and more chances to have a scoring outcome(if these aren't pick 6s 😁) The worry is how does Love react to pressure himself. Has he learned in 3 years to get rid of the ball and avoid taking hits? Will he run with the ball and slide or take hits? How well does his body respond to the hits, or is he soft and by week 5 his season is over? Can the O-line keep him upright consistently? I'm expecting to see a lot of screens out in the flats to WRs or TEs lined up 3 to a side this season. You've got guys with probably enough wiggle to make the 1st guy miss, and if the blocking is sustained they'll take 6-9yd chunks, where you hope Jones/Dillon turn in to 1st downs if the play didn't get them a 1st to begin with. If Love starts 16 games or all 17 games, I think it's a failure if they don't win 9games this season. 10 of he starts all 17. Obviously that can be adjusted if the defense suffers multiple injuries to key guys like Gary's impact did. And no team plays a full season without losing at least 1 top 8 player on it for numerous games. Think GB's history is filled with these losses before week 4.

To be fair, Varland left with the bases loaded 2 outs and Counsell gave the ball to a position player who promptly gave up a Grand Slam allowing all 3 of Varlands runners to score. Wonder if CC actually used a real pitcher how many of Varland bases loaded runners score. It will take 26.1IP of 0 runs allowed just to take his ERA from his final line to 3 ERA. Somebody needs to make sure he's alright and check in on him daily.

I honestly wonder on the price to WAR value. Does it really begin from 0WAR? Or 1WAR and up? BRef lists 0-2WAR value as Sub. And 2+ as Starter. So wouldn't it make sense to tie the value per WAR starting higher than 0? Trout was putting up 8+WAR seasons yet his max in a year is below 38M. How's the work for him? They paid him to be 4.5WAR? Or 6.5WAR? As a starter+ beginning at 2WAR? Maybe that's why some contracts come out and we're like we should have done that for that price vs production?

He's shown that the team can handle an Adames injury or trade future with his defense. As a 2b/SS great defense gives you a long leash with bad batting. And thus far Turang is showing better than bad batting.

Both teams to keep it tied and go 15-18innings straining their bullpens and 6th SP eventually.

Houser isn't at a 3year FA contract level at this moment. He's more at the 1+mutual Option type FA contract. His role was to become a RP this season. And now we're back at SP. If we see an extension this offseason I'd figure they pay him his last season of Arb and put a mutual option to it. Maybe sounds like an in-season deal. He's a swing man pitcher at the moment. Your best comp would probably be Carlos Villanueva who fit that role that I believe got a deal at some point with the Cubs...tanking years?

Now 5-9 since Mitchell was lost.

Yelich has an easy 3 seasons ahead of him before seeing a move reducing his playing time. After this season when Winker leaves you know he's the DH from that point forward with only OF games when injuries say its needed. I dunno what it's going to take but somebody is going to figure out the inability to loft balls 8-10degrees higher than he's doing with his swing. His swing isn't as soft looking as the 2020/2021 version was swinging. If somebody would pay me half a mil I'd happily dig through the tapes and look for a fix between 2018/2019CY vs this continued slap ball in the ground version. Obviously he has a beaten mentality with approaches he takes in ABs. Anyone wanna make that happen? 😆😅😂

It'd be foolish for the Packers to not pick up his 5th year option. I'd think the hold up is trying to extend Love now and he's witnessing what Jackson got and well. Love knows where he stands in terms of talent, the practices, maybe what Rodgers passed on to him where he thinks he at in the league. The outside view is he's not proven to be a top tier or tier 2 QB thus far. So outside people would think like Reilly 20/20/25x3 should be good enough for Love to take. But Love shows out this year his numbers are upper 30s since that is what the rate is. Daniel Jones has 40mil per the next 4 years. Love is sitting in the catbird seat because he's got 20mil easy coming to him on that 5th year option. All it takes for him is to look really good for 1 of the next two seasons to see twice that or more come 2026. It's just a dream to believe Love would sign an extension that at first glance you'd think that team friendly if. Any extension he gets the first glance has to look like whoa, whoa, whoa that's way too much! It's their fault really to be in this situation because A. you didn't have to draft him in 2020. B. you didn't have to extend Rodgers to the seasons where you're stuck making the 5th year option decision on Love or extending him. C. You also let Rodgers get the win believing he could pull out 5 consecutive wins, vs benching him with 5 games to play and giving Love a real shot to prove himself on not only the 5th year option but a price point for an extension.

I'm not too high on Brooks. He's clearly slow and non agile. Bowling Green's conference is basically filled with 1 good team and the rest fighting for 4-6wins on the season. I went back through last 2 seasons of box scores and vs the 4 teams with significance outside the conference faced. UCLA had 0 tackles, 1 PD. Mississippi St. 1 solo tackle 1 PD. And the bowl game vs New Mexico St. 0 Tackles. 1 PD. In 2022. Against the 7-6 2021 Tennessee Vols he did have 5 total tackles with 1 for loss. Minnesota 1 tackle a sack. So against 5 teams outside his conference 5G 7 Tackles 2TFL. 1 sack. Highest rank teams were MS St at 20 and UCLA at 21. I'd be very surprised if the NFL talent facing doesn't keep him from having any impact.

You're probably right since I use wifi. I just wouldn't mind it split it half on 2 posts with the scrolling space to move to the next post.

Any chance when you post videos to limit it to 2 or 3 max? Really bogs down trying to load. Sat for over 1min waiting for this comment to load.

In regards to the Pirates their pitching isn't tearing it up for to deserve their record. Runs not allowed sure, but Fip? It's just like you knew the Brewers bullpen couldn't hold up with that start. Certainly happy the Pirates are distancing themselves from Stl. Cubs I'm just meh. I don't think they have the firepower to build up as the season goes.

More TE video watching. I'm feeling Mayer will be a bust. A guy who suffers an injury and loses what he barely has going for him. Washington has Finley vibes on the field only meaner and bigger blocking. He's a steal. Musgrave really gives me the Jordy Nelson vibes if Nelson were a TE size and build. Biggest rec threat ability. As I mentioned LaPorta is just the mix of Washington/Musgrave. Fall back option if the two are gone when we pick but 40s is high. Mod 50s fits right to even 60s. I'd rather take Mausch before him.

Great finds. He destroyed both Skoronski and Johnson. Huge factor is the weight gain building up and into his position. He's not finished and will be a big problem for defenses. Just quick TE tapes, there is 4 available with 2nd rd potential when you add Sam LaPorta. Mayer doesn't look fluid the way he runs. Didnt pop out to me. Musgrave looks much quicker but a little small so rec would be amazing but blocking iffy. Washington absolutely moves like Lewis only 2 steps quicker and maybe smidge meaner. LaPorta was like a mix of both Musgrave and Washington. Bears and Lions have 5 picks in the 2nd but only 1 before GB's 2 picks. (Bears have #1 in 3rd) I'd expect 1 or both to try jumping ahead of us. T Cody Mausch reads and looks like what the Packers want for an OL. I could see GB trading down 45 if Branch and other ideal targets were gone, with 1 TE selected at 42.

Or if they are in need to shed some cap money Baltimore maybe offers to take Bahkt and his salary of our hands? you know plus a couple picks from them.
