$800k. That's your explanation. You might be overthinking this. It might have everything to do with Chucky, and money, and not something else. He may have entered the portal late because he hadn't been offered 800k until yesterday. Or he had given UW every chance to match it and they just told him they wouldn't. We will see how long he sits in the portal. I have no doubt that he will commit quickly. I'm guessing that an offer like that comes with an expiration date. Chucky was a great Badger. I am sad he is gone, but he wasn't going to make that kind of money in pro ball, maybe ever.
Such a shame. Astros are such a likeable group, wired for success. I'd hate to see their season go into the trash can with a thud, instead of a bang. Hader's struggles are such a bad sign--stealing a lot of their joy.
I hope they lose 100 games. If it takes Hader imploding to make it happen, so be it.
This is really interesting. I enjoyed reading it, and hope that we can get updates on this as the season continues.
The last few seasons it has seemed as if Brewer hitters found themselves in an 0-2 count on a lot of at-bats. I remember checking and seeing that they started in an 0-2 count 20 times in a single game.
Thanks for playing. The other two were Hunter Renfroe and...noted slugger Martin Maldonado.
More trivia: Until today, I would have bet Shohei Ohtani's money that Martin's last name was spelled Maldonaldo.
Trivia: Giancarlo Stanton became the 15th active player to have homered against all 30 teams when he homered against the Marlins. Of the 15, four have spent time on a Brewer roster. Name them.
