Yup, 90 ABs for Garcia...if you want to add more terrible ABs he had 181 last year. Not vouching that Taylor should have stayed and dumped Garcia...but not like Garcia’s large sample of sucking should make Taylor’s good 31 AB be irrelevant. I’m sure Taylor will have plenty of time to prove himself over the next few months. If he still looks like a competent hitter I’m guessing they will not have much problem dumping Garcia for him (if Garcia still hasn’t figured out how to hit).

These umps are literally making up stuff as they go. There’s not even words to say anymore for things. It’s sad to see umps trying to take over games like this and seemingly deliberately making incorrect calls. These calls recently don’t even make sense. You basically can’t even play the game of baseball anymore because running from first to second base isn’t allowed Annoys me when the umpire just walks away and refuses to look down at the ground and see how wrong he was. Just look down, see where he stepped and change the call. It was brutal because the evidence was literally right there, no need to even see a video.

Well, this ain’t the real Tyrone Taylor because I don’t think he can actually hit .323 or have an OPS near 1.000. That being said if he is actually a legit offensive guy then he easily can/could be more valuable (totally ignoring salaries). I guess we paid $13mil for JBJ to catch baseballs and a few nights ago all he could muster is flailing into the wall. Taylor can play decent defense himself, if he can provide offense then he is a much more well rounded player.

The only thing about Kumerow that would make sense is that is related to a big part of why this rift exists (or so it seems...who knows really). Rodgers wanted to be more involved or more in the know about roster moves. He publically hyped up Kumerow and then they dumped him a few days later. If he was already irked about that topic and he couldn’t even have say in a bottom of the depth chart receiver I could see where that would make matters worse. I don’t know much about Malik Taylor, but unless the potential seemed that much better it is a bit strange they wouldn't just keep the guy the QB had a better connection with. Though in the Packers defense I feel like Rodgers has hyped a WR up before and they amounted to nothing, but maybe that is just bias memory since Kumerow didn’t do much last year on a different team.

Name one time prior to this 'situation' (which by extension includes the Love pick, presumably) that the Packers didn't treat Rodgers well? He's basically gotten his way for the past several years, including getting a new coach, causing some personnel decisions like Graham (which, notably, was a horrible move for the Packers). Where is all of this 'mistreatment'? I didn’t say mistreatment...they just haven’t treated him like some other elite QB have in recent years. Tom Brady pretty much got the team to do whatever he wanted and what does Rodgers see? He watches him win a Super Bowl. Difference is we can be fans for 50+ years, Rodgers has a few years left of his career. I’m not saying everything that has irked Rodgers is something to blame on the franchise...but from his perspective a lot of things the Packers have done sucked in his eyes and I am pretty sure anyone would pretty pretty irritated after all these years. Fans have been frustrated for years, Rodgers is one of the main players to endure it all...is it really shocking he is frustrated just like fans?

I thought this for about the first 24 hours, but the longer this goes, the less likely it’s all about a contract, in my estimation. If all it takes is a commitment to 12 for the next 3-5 years, I think it would be done by now. I mean, LaFleur seems on the verge of tears when he talks about this—he wants Rodgers, and the situation is eating him up. Why would he be that upset unless there was personal animus on one or both sides threatening to be an insurmountable barrier? Who is to say the contract isn’t a massive barrier? Rodgers is 38, just won an MVP so he likely feels like he has years left in the tank, and just saw 43 year old Tom Brady win it all. I’m guessing Rodgers wants an absolutely mammoth deal and not shockingly the Packers probably don’t like the idea at the cost Rodgers probably wants. The Packers keep saying they are committed long term, but want to sit on a contract that is basically year to year. Rodgers, and arguably rightfully so, is likely looking to get a contract that kills any chance of Love ever taking his spot. This isn’t woefully different from many other players every year. Once you win a Super Bowl, win an MVP, or have a massive year you want the team to commit to you and pay up. That’s just how NFL and the contracts tend to work. Players have threatened to retire, not show up, demand trades, etc all the time. But this is Aaron Rodgers, the Packers, and the media is loving the comp to when he got drafted. Is it all negotiating tactics by Rodgers? Maybe...and maybe a lot of low blows. However, I can’t say the Packers have always treated Rodgers the best.

I have a hard time really hating Rodgers in this situation. If he acted like this last offseason, yah, I’d find it ridiculous. However, after drafting Love he was quiet. He decided to go prove on the field it was a dumb pick. He probably felt disrespected a bit and after proving himself last year I think he found it time to give a bit back. Rodgers was the guy, he is still the guy, and should be for the foreseeable future. Rogers knew that, he proved that, and now he probably wants the contract to confirm he is the guy for years to come. I just can’t blame him for that.
-
Pretty sure he still lives in Auburndale for a good majority of the year still. That’s where he was traveling back and forth to Appleton from. It was a nice story and cool he eventually got to play for the Brewers, but I am sure the Brewers will release him and he will happily retire. I mean that is what he did for two hours before the Brewers called him down to Milwaukee.
-
If you thought this call was bad it has quickly been outdone: They called him out of the baseline even though he ran a literal straight line between bases and could have deviated 3 feet...he deviated zero inches. It isn’t reviewable as it is a “judgement” call. To make matters worse they also blew the call at first that needed replay to correct.

I think the problem is the Top 10 is usually where incompetent teams draft and it’s a vicious circle of terrible drafts.. It’s also teams without a QB and drafting one isn’t exactly the easiest, especially if your front offense is incompetent. Competent teams usually don’t draft long in the Top 10 before finding success with all that early talent. Sometimes I feel teams are so worried about drafting the next star QB they forget they should create a competent front office first. When they don’t they waste 3+ years draft a few bust QBs before realizing the front office is terrible.

Only one month, but offensive numbers were down across the league
MrTPlush replied to JET15's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
And here we are, back in the endless cycle of no offense or games too long. The league will look for ways to increase offense and then games will be too long...so then we will find more ways to try and make them shorter. Homers are about the only way to add offense and not make games long. Of course now people are starting to complain about 3TO baseball. I’m convinced baseball fans just can’t be pleased. (This isn’t directed at any poster, just what this convo made me think f) -
Is Reyes known for defense? Dude is on fire today.
-
Has anyone given up 9 runs in a debut? 7? Has to be the first to even give up 2 in a game for a debut.
-
You’re there? That stinks to pick this one when most others have been such good games. I made yesterday’s game too...so at least I can’t leave with that.
-
Time to hit the exits, what a waste of time.
-
Does Corbin Burnes earn the loss today?
-
Where do I request my refund at the stadium, what a joke.
-
Hiura is terrible, dude should be 8th...stop trying to sugar coat it a Counsell. He should be lucky to even be on the MLB roster at this point. The worst part of this means he is probably really unlikely to see AAA any time soon. You don’t go from hitting fourth, to optioned...
-
This may be the first draft I’ve ever followed and been pretty content about. It helps we are set at position that are usually found annoying...RB when you already have one, special teams guy, TE, or some other guy really unlikely to be anything useful.
-
Today’s crazy rumor is that Rodgers wants Gute fired or he will seriously consider not showing up or even retiring. I’m pretty far on Rodgers side of this garbage...but if the above is true Mark Murphy should not ditch Gute over it all. Seems like Gute has done a pretty good job. If the relationship with Rodgers is that broken they need to figure out how to part ways and get good value for him.

Time for your May Predictions - 2021
MrTPlush replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
12-16...assuming Yelich and Cain come back healthy...and stay healthy. I think the pitching has to come down to earth a bit and I’m not confident the offense goes on a tear to make up for it. The injuries eventually have to catch up to them too. I then predict a rebound record wise in June when the team is well rounded. -
Chicago has always been known to have trash mail service, it’s a common complaint from Chicago area eBay sellers. When I lived by Chicago for a few summers they lost countless things.

Tied by best record in NL entering May.

If you are a fan of drafting guys based on need you are probably liking this draft a bit.

At least with streaming apps there is competition between them all. In many places you have one cable option and that is it. Not as much room for error in the world of streaming services and negotiation tactics.
