    In addition, they've been behind by a lot in almost every game. Dumb to risk outs on the bases when down by several runs

    possible crucial point in the game and ump misses two calls that weren't all that close to deny a 3-0 count. gotta love it

    But stuff in Mexico, DR, Puerto Rico, etc are much easier. Even the UK isn't that difficult. I think most of them have been done and didn't get near the attention or success as this one did, for kind of obvious reasons with all the Japanese players on the teams. I guess while they currently have two homeless teams in TB/Oak it would be a good time to schedule some of their 'home' games in places like that and see what happens.

    Yea all he has to do is hit at a competent level and he's solid MLB starting player due to such good D and baserunnig. But the way he's been hyped/talked about is not just to be a good starter, but some kind of star. There's a difference between say Harrison Bader to Kyle Tucker. 'd have my money on more Bader for PCA, Cubs fans/hype seems to expect way more though. It certainly is possible though since he's so young

    Its too bad our starting pitching got hit by injuries so don't really have the depth to trade from like one would've thought a month ago. Aside from current SP you'd think their next would be to get younger prospects not close to needing 40 man spots, which presumably we should match up well with them. Just too bad we can't even afford to give up a current innings eater type like Cortes/Civale to fit that urgent need for them. Really, Bal and MIA for Alcantara really make a lot of sense.

    I can't see anyway Bennet would even consider the MN job outside of just an absurd amount of money that's not even in the realm of reality. He just quit a great job in the ACC 9 months ago where he could have sat for years and years. I'm almost sure his wife is from that VA/NC area, he's probably old enough that they don't have little kids anymore though. I don't see why a year later he'd take on the mess that is MN. He can take a few years off and relax while the NCAA sorts out the quirks of the NIL system, wait for a legit good job to come open and he'll get it. Heck he can probably just go back to VA in 3-4 years whenever he's ready. Or if he just doesn't want to deal with the NIL bs just go be a defensive coordinator type assistant in the NBA, collect a couple mil a year.

    Yea with that contract it would never happen. And I can't imagine they'll trade him, eventually he'll just settle into 1B/DH for the year and the story will go away. And for his beef, chances are he'd have the same beef with the Brewers. He's not good at 3B D, so we'd also be telling him to move to 1B/DH

    Fair. Yea I just started with 40K seats and the slashed it to a bit less than half, never checked the real number of cars as I was just winging it because, like you said, the total number wasn't the point. But yea, I'd guess on a near sellout game on a weekend that more than 1/12 leave above .08. I generally agree with your points on your low guess, I just think getting to .08 is easier than the avg person thinks and why I'd guess higher. And of course WI drinking culture would move up national polls like you mentioned, we are way different here with it. But who knows, we're all just throwing stuff out there guessing, the main idea was just that they can't be a party to pumping out even more really drunk people than they already are, considering the police are already giving them a huge break letting it operate the way it is. If one thinks about its kinda crazy, I mean you have a ton of cops just standing there doing nothing as lots and lots of people drive right by them after drinking for hours, and they know it and just let look the other way. Part of WI drinking culture. I recall last year I went with some friends from the UK, they couldn't believe how the driving was just no big deal. And UK people are the rare bunch that drink as much as WI people.

    TBF, I don't know how many cars the lot holds, it might be way less than that number. But .08 is very easy to get to. On a Fri/Sat I would guess its definitely the majority of cars though, likely well above 50%. But obviously I have no idea, its pure guess

    I go to my share and I don't think prices since covid are bad at all, Can usually get lower level tickets for way less than $100, and I usually go on weekends. I've sat in the first 5 rows several times for like $50. In a stadium that already has overdrinking issues and allows everyone to drink for 'free' in the parking lot, there is no way they can go to cheap alcohol. Besides money, trying to deter overdrinking is a big factor. Especially when you already have the cops looking the other way on 15-20K DUIs leaving the parking lot every night. Biggest thing Miller Park needs to do is get good food. For a state famous for its foods they really do suck at it atMP.

    Side note, I've been at places in LV where Shaq has been performing. Generally speaking, he does a good job with what he's doing (its not my thing, I just happen to be there). But I had friends that did a fair amount of interacting with him there and when he was in MKE for the playoffs over the years. It does seem all the stories of him actually being a legit nice/good guy are true. If I recall correctly, one of his kids is trying to be a real deal DJ so Shaq is kind of doing it with him to help him and use his name. Plus I'm sure he has fun with it.

    They've been doing post game concerts for a while with mid tier at best groups, heck Nelly is probably one of the bigger names to do it. Really nothing new or a big deal to discuss. I've been at games where they have it and haven't bothered to stay. I actually think one several years ago was a long extra inning game like 13+ innings so it probably wouldn't start until well after midnight and there was probably no one at it.

    Hoskins is gone after this year freeing up tons of 1B/DH abs. Contreras is gone after two years freeing up even more DH ABs

    Yes, my ballpark take is the Cubs got better. Brewers I can accept being projected a few wins less because of the Adames loss and just some general luck/breaks last year. So combine those two and you get to about a coin flip for the division. Not Cubs as massive favorite as in the projections. I'd say generally speaking the things the computers still get wrong or don't accurately weight is bullpens. I'd assume the models kind of make bullpens out to be kind of crapshoots year to year. But certain teams like MKE and CLE consistently pump out new good bullpens every year and not coincidentally they almost always overperform their win projections. Combine that with historically norms being starters are way more important and you see how MKE gets pegged by the computers at 80ish every even though they keep winning around 90. At some point teams like MKE/CLE need to be given credit for whatever they're doing with pitching/bullpens, I just think the computers don't have a good way to factor it yet.
  15. tmwiese55
    Think you missed that they lost Bellinger
  16. tmwiese55
    A guy like Mayo would've been the type of guy I was hoping for in the offseason. Obviously the large Peralta type trade for him is a lot to wrap your head around. I'd hope for a way to get someone like him without giving up someone else who is needed to 'win now' this year. But yea, BAL needs starting pitching.

    WI high schools have really been pumping out high D1 players the last ten years too. Really squandered it by not having a legit program. I don't know the answer, its basically the only sport at UW that sucks. It seemed this new coach was going on the right track until this year, going up in wins every year and have a legit star player. Then all the drama this year so I assume she'll be gone. Really no answer I see than you have to find the right coach and pump money into it. If vball can be this good there's really no reason bball can't also. Years and years ago they probably should've paid the UWGB coach whatever he needed, but that ship has sailed.

    Thing is the new owners had to be in on this and the fans know it. So firing the GM doesn't accomplish much, he was just the owners tool to do it. Owners need to fire themselves somehow. Or fans demand Cuban buy it back, heck its probably worth a bit less now than when he sold it due to this disaster.

    Good post. Yea I'd guess their plan is to think these internals have a chance to be adequate at 3B. And that the rest of the team is so solid that they will be competitive for the division regardless. But if they get to May/June and none of them have performed and/or injuries come in then 3B is the clear trade deadline upgrade target.
  20. tmwiese55
    Yea that's probably why its best to take a step back and avoid knee jerk hot take reactions, which are usually overreactions.

    I know I wouldn't want Bryce Harper on my team, complete immature headcase
  22. tmwiese55
    Countless players have had incidents of that nature, it happens. Giannis literally attacked Dunleavy one game and tackled him into the crowd over some minor bs. The key Uribe is if he gets his control improved, and yea no more shenanigans.
  23. tmwiese55
    I'm sure I'm way less confident in the internal 3B options than they are, but at that price or 500k-1m more I think I'd have taken the vet presence insurance on the roster. Have to remember injuries are inevitable too, so having a guy like him as a baseline/floor could've helped
  24. tmwiese55
    They made the Finals last year with the same roster. And well who knows if Kyrie injury happens without the trade, big butterfly effect. But I wouldn't say it justifies it, to me it proves why it was dumb to invest in two oft injured 32ish year olds instead of the 25 year old. I do get their point that Kyrie/Luka are kind of redundant to each other and I would be hesitant to be giving Kyrie his upcoming 300 mil contract (before injury), so if I really wanted a shake up I would've tried to trade Kyrie for youth/wings/athleticism etc. Definitely wouldn't have sought another old guy who's oft injured like AD. Or you know, just play it out since you were in the NBA finals 9 months ago with a 25 year old multiple time All NBA player.
  25. tmwiese55
    I would agree this is a better overall team than going into last year. Mostly due to the large increase in reliable SP depth, whereas last year was a crapshoot after Peralta. Essentially the same BP since Devin didn't play. I put no faith in that 3B combo you list and am just hoping for basic "dont be awful" out of the position, so obviously that's a step down from what Adames provided last year. But add in full year Chourio, hopefully 50 more games from Yelich, along with likely slight improvements from Hoskins and other young players like Ortiz, Turang, Mitchell, Frelick and it should come close to balancing Adames loss. And you'd come out ahead if someone like Mitchell really takes off. But like you said, will the luck and chips fall in the right way like they did last year, who knows. Division is better and we got lucky with some pitcher pickups that hit last year, will they do it back to back years? Will injuries playout in an ok way. Adames was very lucky with his HRs being a ton of 3R shots which essentially won games, so can't bank on that again. By no means saying lock to win the division as the Cubs have improved, but I'd definitely take the over on our 82ish win total.
