    I believe I have seen it in recent weeks, especially since the NFL is very pro 'let it play out': Since they had to stop the clock for the review of the play, the Chiefs are not penalized with a 10 second run-off due to the penalty. The penalty only causes a run-off if the penalty is the only reason for the stoppage of play.

    Probably right...but it is more than possible he misjudged his market and people actually don't want a late 30s injury prone starter with very unflashy stuff. He has never made more than $10mil in his career despite plenty of good years that were even more healthy than last year. Not to mention healthier and didn't follow up a year where he failed to start 10 games. I wouldn't be shocked if he gets exactly $10mil. That being said, happy to have him back. Nice clubhouse guy and we have plenty of payroll space for him. We needed a veteran on staff. Just hope we can maybe get another one that is a bit more dependable health wise. Assuming Burnes is gone of course.

    Umm…well, I wish that effort would have had a cleaner ending.
  4. MrTPlush
    Refs trying to make every call the wrong one.
  5. MrTPlush
    He ran backwards out of bounds? Clock should roll…?
  6. MrTPlush
    Refs are a joke..:we caught the break of the day right there.

  9. MrTPlush
    Yes!!!!

    Current Situation: backpedal 20 yards to buy enough time to try and make something happen.

    Yo know, regardless of how this transpires in the long run…props to the Brewers making a record contract that no team, small or large market, has done. Much like the second Braun contract and the Yelich extension, this team invests 9 figures into players that no one expects a team in our market size to give out. Proof that, once again, those who complain that Mark Attanasio doesn’t spend seem to be wrong. For all the flack we get for being a farm system for large markets, Attanasio has managed to keep a lot of guys around 8 and even 10+ years around since he took over. Here is to hoping Chourio is the next HOF player with a Brewers cap.

    Yo…the pressure from this defense today…
  13. MrTPlush
    Sure looks like they have a lot of confidence lately.

    It’s annoying the SEC pretty much gets an autobid…but the conference is always regarded as the best by a wide mile and they always have an undefeated team or one with one loss. More often than not that #4 is pretty subjective on who ‘deserves it’. Many against expanded playoffs argue championship week is already that. Well…Alabama beat #1. That seems pretty worthy of making it. How do you not have that team in there? I mean honestly, I would have preferred Alabama in there and FSU over Texas. Actually I think I would even make an argument FSU over Washington. Clearly football is a Power 4 and the ACC isn’t very respected.
  15. MrTPlush
    Alabama beat the 12-0 #1 team reigning champ in football. Their only loss was Texas, a CFP team. I get the nation hates Alabama, but that undoubtably makes them worthy of a spot. Really, if anything, I think FSU deserves Texas’ spot, not Alabama’s spot. But then people would cry over Alabama over Texas because of a H2H result from September. I don’t think an undefeated record really should be some autobid if a 1-loss team has a good resume and said loss is a really strong team. Someone was bound to get a bit hosed in this situation.

    You know those trendy lights you can put on your house that you keep up all year for every holiday? Yah…those things look dumb and look like the cheap corny junk they are. It looks even worse when the neighbors decide it is a good idea too. Sorry to anyone who has them.
  17. MrTPlush
    It just means the Brewers aren’t deferring money and spreading it out over an additional year. The low buyout is actually a win in Chourio’s corner. -$80mil plus $17mil or $2mil buyout = $97mil or $82mil -$72mil plus $17mil or $10mil buyout= $89mil or $82mil Same guaranteed money, but he ends up with a lot more the lower that buyout is in the event the Brewers pick up the options.
  18. MrTPlush
    The option years will probably be pretty reasonable, that is the whole purpose of them. If you are a good starter they are no brainers to pick up. Probably around $20mil or so...maybe less. Acuna Jr. has a VERY similar contract at 8/$100mil and his options are only $17mil. I can't imagine...even if they negotiated amazingly, that Chourio was able to make those options elite level money.
  19. MrTPlush
    They need to acquire Rizzo for 1B. I mean...imagine a 1-2 punch of Chourizzo. The ultimate middle of the lineup sausage.
  20. MrTPlush
    I mean, realistically, there is basically no risk for Chourio. He could lock in a 10 year deal assure himself $100mil+. I would guess that pretty much allows any level of life you care to live in Venezuela. If he 'leaves money on the table' in the end, I doubt he is going to shed many tears as he inks a FA deal over $300mil a decade from now. If you were good enough to get offered this much money before a single MLB at-bat. you would have to be a complete idiot to not accept.
  21. MrTPlush
    Looking at it historically, the odds he becomes an incompetent loser not worthy of an MLB starting gig is pretty low. However, the odds he is a perennial All-Star isn't as likely as some make it out to be. There is a very large chance this contract ends up really unfortunate. There are a lot of Top 5 prospects over the years that have ended up pretty meh. Whatever the price, it will be worth shutting up the 'Mark A is cheap crowd' for the rest of the offseason.
  22. MrTPlush
    We already control him 7 years after you toy with his service time. Even a 10 year deal is adding only 3 years. Honestly, the impact and potential people are throwing around is insanely overrated, in my opinion. You are basically overpaying him in arbitration hoping you can have a couple team options for market value…thus keeping around an elite player for a few extra years before the Yankees/Dodgers give him &300mil. Im guessing this is only coming about because payroll is likely to tank for a few years, so paying him 7 figures isn’t a huge deal while still having huge profits due to a lower payroll. Thus, in 3+ years his AVV is nice and low for his hopeful performance. If he strolled along in 2019, I don’t think the Brewers would be floating this possibility.
  23. MrTPlush
    Not sure I am following your logic. Marquette is like the most experienced roster and about identical to the roster as last year. This is usually something you would say if the team was full of freshman/transfers. They are the polar opposite.
  24. MrTPlush
    They will end up cutting payroll, but simply a reality of Burnes being traded, Woodruff gone, and possibly a trade of Williams/Adames. I don’t think they have a huge amount of big arby raises. Tellez and Winker are also not on the books. I could see them signing someone if they feel he is a good value add…but that is kinda rare in baseball FA. They would probably be wise to see how young guys do this year before investing money in FA. It’s hard to know the direction of the team. If some guys break out, they may have a quick turnaround…if prospects start flopping, a bigger rebuild may be upon us.
  25. MrTPlush
    I’m sure plenty of teams were interested in making a trade. However, he would have needed to come to a contractual agreement with whatever team traded for him. Why would Woodruff do that if he knew he was going to get non tendered? Just refuse to talk and wait to be a free agent and talk to every team.
