Brewers acquire Daniel Norris from Tigers
CheeseheadInQC replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm not even sure that the value is off, but I wish that a comparable value hitter would have been dealt instead. We don't have nearly the same depth of pitching prospects in the lower levels of the minors as we have hitting prospects. Olson was one of the guys that I was kind of hoping wouldn't get dealt unless it was slam dunk value for that reason. And yes, I thought this year's high school Rule 5 group was the Lutz, Lazar, Bullock group with Olson, Turang, Gray, Bello, etc. after next year. -
Yah, final season was easily the weakest in my opinion, but I did like the very end (was it a montage? It has been too long since I watched it) because I thought it worked well thematically for the show (take the rare wins where you can, but it doesn't stop the cycle from keeping on repeating).

Add Yaphet Kotto to the list of those who died recently. Man, he was great on "Homicide."

And then you have “Midsomer Murders” ...

Yep. There were a couple of really interesting literary TV adaptations that came out last year. Plus, one of my favorite shows of the year was adapted from a series of TV ads for a soon-to-be defunct network. The reboots and superhero shows get a lot of attention, but there are plenty of other things on from all sorts of different sources. Plus, the streaming services have made it easier to watch shows from other countries as well. Also, I thought Season 2 of The Wire was a success despite that character. It might have been its fourth best season, but that would still make it the best season of most other shows.

That show was much better than it had any right to be. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's not a perfect show, and there was a shift after the first episode that is more typical of network shows than those on premium cable. "Chapter One" almost felt like it was written by James Ellroy, but some of those aspects have been toned down slightly, which probably works better for the story. Also, a plot thread that seemed as if it might be important has all but disappeared, unless they are setting up a second season case. That being said, though, the acting has largely been spectacular. That's kind of expected at this point out of Rhys, Maslany and Lithgow, but Juliet Rylance and Gayle Rankin have more than held their own as well.

“The Good Place” was my last “appointment” show. I have typically been watching “Perry Mason” (speaking of dark shows) on Sundays, but that is more because I have the time Sunday nights.

My wife and I recently rewatched all six seasons. The back half is a bit uneven, but the first three seasons are up there as far as pure comedy with just about anything I've ever watched.

Just finished "Russian Doll." Basically it's what you'd get if you took the premise of "Groundhog's Day" and some of the themes of "The Good Place" and then made the whole thing really dark. It's not something that I'd feel comfortable recommending simply because the tone isn't for everyone and a few of the early episodes felt like they were spinning their wheels a bit, but once it hit its stride I really felt myself connecting to it. Speaking of "The Good Place," the recent season finale confirmed that this is still my favorite show on television, network or otherwise. I'm shocked that a heavily serialized network sitcom about moral philosophy has not just lasted three seasons but also been renewed for a fourth, but I'm sure glad it has. Oh, and for the recent posts about "Cheers," Ted Danson's comedy chops have not faded with age. At all.

I still have a feeling that Brinson isn't a complete washout, but it is looking more and more like it might be a scenario where he has a long and occasionally productive career that always just seems disappointing given his former prospect status and having been the centerpiece in a significant trade. So, you know, Cameron Maybin.
-
On the older side, but this week's episode of "Brooklyn 99" inspired me to go back and watch the "Homicide" episode "3 Men and Adena." That show was, for the first few seasons at least, one of the best I've ever seen, and it was also fun to watch Andre Braugher go back and do what was basically a comedic version of perhaps its best episode on "99."
-
A little late to the game on this one because of work. Losing Harrison in the deal does sting (he was probably the guy I was dreading most given that Brinson was almost certainly going to be in the deal). That being said, it makes sense for the Brewers to deal from their depth of hitting prospects, not just for the usual hitting-pitching reasons but because the team has expended most of its top draft picks and international signing bonuses on offensive players in recent years. The prospective rookie ball (pre-draft of course) and A-ball lineups look a lot more interesting than the pitching staffs.
