    I mean, a sweet 16 appearance would be a decent accomplishment. Of course we'd all love to see even more, but there isn't much shame in losing in the round of 16 unless you're a 1 or 2.

    Aramis was my first thought as well.

    In the wiki page from the link in the original thread, the rules section is blank. Thus, I don't know how to play.

    Nice find, that video was definitely worth a watch. Especially Sal's TD run where he just split the defenders and left literally everyone in the dust.

    This paragraph: "And finally, we can't mention Sheets without talking about his batting. Sheets had a reputation as one of the worst hitters in the league. His .076 BA backs up those claims. I used to joke that Brewer pitcher Doug Davis (who had a career BA of .083) used to thank Sheets for not making him look so bad." brings back a memory. I can't remember who they were playing or anything, but it doesn't matter. I was driving in my truck listening to the game. Brewers had someone get on base, and Sheets came up to bat. Then there was a delay, catcher mound visit, then the infield gathered around. Uecker on the broadcast said they had to get everyone together to figure out how to try to get Sheets out. I had to grab napkins out of the center console to clean the spray off the inside of my windshield 🤣

    FYI that wiki site link is not working.

    Maybe. But if they fail to keep pace, it's probably because most of the aforementioned four SP have been not good, in which case how much talent do they really bring back via trade? I think it's moot anyways. I love our chances for 2025.

    I'd add Rob Deer. Not because he's better than Briggs or Sixto. Just because he's Rob Deer.

    Tonje fouled on the first 3 attempt that last possession from the left side of the arc. The officiating is a little bizarre.
  10. AKCheesehead
    Correct. Now, whether the declining was due to discussions Gyorko had with the Brewers after '20, indicating his plans to go back to WV, or whether it was because Milwaukee just wanted to deploy the three headed monster of Vogelbach, Tellez and Hiura at 1B instead, we don't know. But Gyorko did have other MLB offers on the table afterwards, but he chose to be a present husband and father instead. Now as for Ollie in the here and now...It's nice to see him off to a great start in ST, even if it is more or less meaningless.

    Tossing the memorial bricks would have been such a tacky, disgusting, shameful embarrassment to the athletic program and university. I'm not kidding when I say a move like that might have caused me to rethink whether I pay any attention to UW anymore, other than possibly rooting against. And that's coming from a lifelong Badger fan who grew up on the East side.

    I got to questioning my own memory of Jerk Store's decision, so I went and found this nice article that confirms it. For anyone who may be interested in reading about what he's been up to.
  13. AKCheesehead
    If I'm not mistaken, I believe Gyorko pretty much decided to call it quits and go be a family man. I agree with your points, I think what we have in house is potentially just as good or better than anything we could sign or trade for at this point in the year. Revisit in May/June if 3B is a problem at that time

    They're tearing down the Shell? Man, I haven't been downtown in Madison since I went to the Michigan game back in '17. Other than a couple basketball games around the holidays, but that was just parking a few blocks off John Nolen and walking to the Kohl Center. I wonder how much it'll have changed by the time I'm there again.
  15. AKCheesehead
    I'm not going to worry about naming his pitch until he's officially become a member of the Frosty Boys.
  16. AKCheesehead
    Certainly. I just can't fathom the return player in a Perkins trade being a big enough improvement over the in-house options to make up for the loss of Perkins. That's just me thinking of it in a 1 for 1 type scenario, which obviously it wouldn't necessarily need to be. I feel like Perkins brings so much to the table for us despite not at all outstanding offensive numbers. Tremendous defense obviously. Injury insurance, keeping the regular outfield fresh. Switch hitter with pretty even splits so you use him any time. That's a pretty important cog in the Brewers' elite outfield machine.
  17. AKCheesehead
    I would hate that. I don't see any way the return on a Perkins trade would be near to the value he brings to the Brewers by being on the team.

    RIP Seitzer The Parakeet. Ex let it escape the house over the summer.

    Matthew, I've got to give credit where it's due. "He took to it like a barfly to Thin Lizzy" That right there is some great stuff. Interesting write up overall. I'm not so sure how I feel about DeJong, however I did find this one particular set of splits from last year to be interesting. Read into it what you will. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=dejonpa01&year=2024&t=b#power ETA: I'm talking about his splits on power vs finess pitchers. I have not had success importing tables from baseball reference, sadly.

    If Bregman suddenly craters in his 30s the way Rendon did then I'm all for the cubs signing him.
  21. AKCheesehead
    Agreed. Personally, I'm hoping for a Best Shape Of My Life quote from him 😀

    Hard to say with Freddy. Nothing saying you have to trade every player on an expiring contract, especially if you're contending which I am optimistic that the Brewers will be in '25 and '26. I was so sad when Ax's comeback with the club got wrecked by injury. That was an awesome feel good story in the making which we were all denied.

    At this point I expect LAD to sign a bunch of expensive MLB players to high dollar minor league contracts to hedge against any injuries or underperformance. Their AAA affiliate would be capable of winning any division aside from the NL West.

    Meanwhile in Alaska we've been above freezing, the snow's all gone, sled dog races have had to be postponed, and travel, especially driving or walking, is far less than ideal due to there being glare ice with water on top of it everywhere. What a dumb winter.
  25. AKCheesehead
    Case in point, there were no game related posts here for the national title game. Because who cares.
