    Tough for Marquette to blow being a #2 two seasons in a row…and honestly I thought they were a pretty strong #2 both times. To lose to the #11 on top of it, oof. Shaka and Marquette both ended their long Sweet 16 droughts…but that will hardly feel like a success story going into the offseason.

    Yah, probably to his knee…bet he won’t be laughing then.
  3. MrTPlush
    That was so obviously intentional and he was laughing as he trotted off. And well, he also confirmed it after the game.

    It’s a complete douchebag slide that doesn't happen anymore. As such, these players cover second expecting players to not make douchebag slides. It’s incredibly dangerous when a dude decides to do it these days

    Homerun Freddy!

    Or when the pitcher is t exactly throwing it near the plate often. Forcing Hoskins to swing at pitches a foot off the plate isn’t going to be beneficial. Might as well do a straight steal.

    Compared to Ed Sedar…

    Couldn’t go a day without complaining about people complaining about the lineup.

    Going before the Brewers give you 162+ tests to your heart, good idea

    Record: 76-86 (3rd NL Central) MVP: Yelich (crowded field of good, but not great players) Cy Young: Peralta (who else, honestly?) ROY: Chourio (honestly, who else?) Top Newcomer: Chourio (he counts, yes) All Star(s): Contreras Breakout Player(s): Frelick Disappointment(s): Chourio Bold Prediction(s): Someone signs a long extension during the season. Peralta starts 25+ games

    Dang, I should have picked that reward. 😅 Considering it came from Bailly, it was probably directed at those customers.

    Not necessarily. Players can definitely not struggle in the minors and then discover those issues when they don't have lesser talent to shield those struggles. Hiura is a bit of an odd case, but he went from destroying LHP in the minors (as expected) to struggling mightily in the majors. Whatever the struggle may or may not be...how that shakes out come the MLB level is a bit of a crapshoot. His performance in the minors isn't necessarily any better of a reflection of his future performance. Weeks was a batting average guru, never happened at the MLB level. Frelick is much the same...he may never hit for a high average. Hiura in A+ and AA in 2018. Hiura MLB Splits (career) Now this is getting a bit off topic, because in the grand scheme, I am not really agreeing with him on the bench against LHP. I would have started him and given him a chance to play against LHP every day.

    Perkins sucks too though.
  14. MrTPlush
    No, pretty terrible actually.
  15. MrTPlush
    Didn't pay him tens of millions to baby him.

    72 wins would be a 90 loss season...I don't think this is a 90 loss team. They give me 2013 vibes. Seems the offense could be a decent unit, maybe a good bullpen, but that rotation...no, just no. I will go 76-86. I think the division is kinda crap. They could win more, but I think it would be for no other reason than the poor division inflating everyone's win totals.

    I doubt Tuesday is his last time..,I think the Brewers would want something more planned and I think Ueck would do it for the fans. This might come off cold-hearted from someone not old enough to really appreciate the old old glory days…but it’s long overdue. He has been pretty shaky to awful at times for years now. He probably should have given it up when he was still putting together a solid full season…versus his health declining and limping his way to the mic and struggle to call games. Enjoy life away from the mic Ueck and visit the clubhouse often. That being said, it will be sad when he is gone. His voice is iconic and the calls are legendary for so many moments in Brewers history. I love when MLB highlight videos have the radio crew voiceover. As a small market we don’t often get long term people to stay around…and while not a player, Ueck has been a pillar of good memories for generations.

    That would explain why his post was such a ‘goodbye’ vibe. He probably can get just as much NIL money elsewhere and get better exposure. Not that Wisconsin is terrible for exposure…but he might be attractive enough for one of the elite schools to go after him.

    He left early because he knew it was his peak opportunity. His stock was dramatically inflated due to the Final Four teams. Make deep postseason runs, be a notable player on one, and be something of NBA material and you will catapult yourself to be at least a Round 2 pick. Another year was unlikely to magically fix his deficiencies. As much as another year can help show you improved on deficiencies, it can also prove you aren't fixing them. Hunter Dickinson could have probably been a 2nd round pick after his freshman year and even his sophomore year...now he isn't even likely to be drafted at all. Is that good or bad for him? I guess it depends on your aspiration to be a draft pick and play in the NBA even if the stay is short. Though as someone else mentioned, these days you can make over $1mil in college...so the jump is oddly riskier than it used to be.

    I know the Badgers don't get a lot of NBA prospects so let me just say, he is very far from gone. Plenty of guys every year will go into the draft process to learn. Many of them have zero expectation to stay in the draft process...simply want the feedback from scouts on what they should improve on to better their stock. If I had to guess, I don't think Storr actually expects to be in the draft. Probably just wants feedback and maybe NIL negotiation. Also, why can't they sit around and wait? Storr is arguably their best player, especially so if we are looking at next year in a hypothetical sense. Gard and Co. are going to say a prayer every night between now and then, NIL is going to work around the clock to get him back, and the Badgers would embrace him even if he waited to the last second. Is there really some valuable target out there to fill every open scholarship plus his if he were to leave? No...Storr is miles above what they would reasonably replace him with if he went into the draft. I don't think there is a school in the country that is going to move on from a guy entering the NBA draft process without an agent after popping off for 17 points a game in less than 30 minutes a game. Definitely not Wisconsin.

    Sometimes I ponder, does a college kid ever contemplate the draft and the fans of said team say, "Awesome, dude is ready!"
  23. MrTPlush
    I guess everyone has a different definition of average, but Wisconsin has been performing at a pretty casual level you expect out of most teams in the P5. 4/7 years they have made the dance, no higher than a 5 seed, can't make the Sweet 16, and have been ranked 14+ on three occasions in that span to end the year. I believe they have two Big Ten titles in that span, but both were shared...one of which was a 3-way tie. I mean, if you want to call that slightly above average, sure, I guess. It is certainly a sharp decline from what they had seen prior to Gard taking over. I guess it is a matter of what you think Wisconsin's ceiling can be in the NIL era.
  24. MrTPlush
    To me, it really isn't much different than their football coaching situation. PC simply wasn't that great. Not terrible...but the ceiling wasn't there. Are they okay being average in basketball or do they have aspirations for more potential? Gard could quite possibly be on the same downward trajectory that PC was on. His recruiting is getting very questionable. 2021 - The only player still there and useful is Hepburn...who took a bit of a step back this year. 2022 - His only player he got is leaving after going from 10+ points a game as a freshman to barely playing. 2023 - This could be promising with Blackwell and Gard's lone Top 100 recruit in Nolan Winter. 2024 - Only two commits despite a lot of guys leaving/graduating. He isn't getting many recruits and isn't managing any highly regarded recruits anymore. Eventually the bubble is going to burst.

    I always pondered if that would actually shake out to not screw you over. Report back in another 6 months. That would be nice, especially since I have banked a solid $550 in deductible savings bank....so my $1k deductible would be less than half that in actuality.
