    Not signing Nick Bierbrodt back in the early 2000s was egregious. Someone suggested that Anthony Rizzo would be a good signing. ChouRizzo brand!

    Last five Tampa drives: 40 plays, 316 yards, 1 FG, 3 TDs, and end of game (when the rb went down on his own).

    Bill Michaels was on the radio last week saying they should offer Love $12-20 mil per year, as if his fifth year option isn't already north of $20 million. Love will cost more than $30 million a year to extend, probably closer to $40. Cost of doing business.

    Joe and Wade combine to win a Cy Young, and are jointly known as the Wrecking Ball, by Miley Cy Ross. I'm sorry.
  5. Underachiever
    Ross and Miley can equal one starter. Can't imagine Ross has more than 80-100 innings in that arm, max, for this season.

    The deferred money softening the AAV really pisses me off. Talk about having your cake and eating it, too. I was thinking that whoever signed Ohtani would at least be somewhat handcuffed by the luxury tax.

    I've brought this up 2 or three times over the years, and I don't remember anyone giving me an answer. Regarding Yelich's back: It would seem to me (a terrible baseball player) that the most violent thing a player can do is swing a bat. Would the strain of standing and bending in the field be worse than the potential of injury on a swing? I know the quotidian nature of playing the field might bring more fatigue, but injury?

    What a fail that would be if the Brewers kept Burnes and are out of it at the break. Because of the QO draft pick being lost, I think he has a lot less value at the deadline. And if the Brewers are out of it, they HAVE to sell at that point. May lose some leverage. The other option if they keep Burnes is that they are in the race. Then, how do you trade him? I would like to see them move Burnes before the season.

    Boy, I am so surprised Candelario got 3/45, especially from the Reds. I'm getting Moustakas vibes from this. Redszone is all over the map on it, but they all think that it means a trade for pitching is coming.

    Didn't we have similar conversations recently about our past manager's thought process? How he was a hometown guy who probably did well in investments, made $21 million as a player and more as a manager, so he didn't need a lot of money? That turned out to be crap. One thing I know about rich people, they often like to make more money. Here's my theory that I just made up. William Contreras borrowed $5 from Willson when he was 12. His brother hounded him for repayment, and at that moment, William vowed to never take another dime from his brother, AND to make more money than him, so he is going to get every cent he can. How's that? And, it has been said, but it's not as if the players get assigned an agent. They choose. Demonizing Scott Boras for doing his client's bidding is weird. He is well-compensated for being the fall guy for fans and front offices all over the country. Hate the game, not the player, right?

    Interesting you wrote "desperately need pitching depth." I think the Reds desperately needed help and still do. The Cardinals as well. I'm not asking this to be a jerk, but if the Brewers are desperate, aren't about 27 other teams desperate as well?
  12. Underachiever
    The Badgers are now a ranked team. Therefore... I would never expect a win at the Breslin, but I'm still on the high from beating Marquette, so I'm very excited. Then on to AZ to take on number 1. It's not the Elite 8, but let's see UW ruin another AZ season.
  13. Underachiever
    I agree, they would need to tweak it so that a team like the 1981 Reds wouldn't be left out despite having the best record. One additional tweak, though. Team with best record gets in, unless it's the Cardinals. Then, screw them. If that's the case, Cardinals get replaced by the actual 1981 Reds. Ron Oester and Paul Householder get redemption!
  14. Underachiever
    Let's play this out. It's June 17th, and your team has made the finals. You have 90 games left in the season. It's the final game of the in-season tournament, are you pitching Corbin Burnes on three days' rest, or giving Julio Teheran his normal start? Baseball is just so different. And if you made it best of three, how do you keep some teams from not losing some of their 81 home games?

    What a great win. Thrilled with the development of Love. I was irritated last night with the narrative of the two qbs. The second TD pass to Watson was a great catch, but if it had been Mahomes, Collinsworth would have said, "Mahomes put it in the only place the receiver could have caught it." It was a great pass by Love. MVS had a crossing route where he had to fall backwards and sit down to catch the ball, and instead of saying it was a bad pass, Collinsworth indeed said Mahomes put it where only MVS could catch it. The shovel pass? It would have hit the running back in the ear hole, but it wasn't a bad pass according to Collinsworth, just a great play by the GB Dlineman. The seam route with MVS where Mahomes threw inside, and MVS went outside? MVS' fault. And the comparison of Favre/Rodgers/Love throwing with feet off the ground was such a reach. And if they can do a frame by frame replay of the Pacheco fumble/non-fumble to overturn the call on the field, can't they at least look at the bs late hit call on Mahomes? Just a terrible call. Thought I was watching an NBA game.

    I posted this during the season, but Robin Yount's .593 OPS his third year in MLB didn't exactly scream that he was a HOF candidate. Sometimes players improve.

    In other words, it would take the same money to sign Hoskins as it took to sign Yasmani Grandal 5 seasons ago. Count me in.

    Packers are 2-0 this season with Mercury in retrograde. The Tampa, Carolina and Minnesota games (games 14-16) will also have Mercury in retrograde. If they go 3-0, you may be onto something. If they get a Thanksgiving game next year, it will be another opportunity for a retrograde win. Suck it, FanDuel! I got a system!

    I am also in the Wiemer camp. I feel like people really got down on him and said things such as "that bat will never play." It seemed out of proportion for a guy who was in his first 100 or so games as a major leaguer. Now, where I also feel out of step is that I don't see why everyone is so high on Garrett Mitchell. I am willing to be convinced. But any argument has to somehow assure me first that his injury problems are behind him.

    And maybe I can get a jersey that won't be out of date almost immediately. Anyone want a Luke Voit home jersey? Never worn, comes already unbuttoned. I'll throw in a gold chain.
  21. Underachiever
    Get him, boys.

    The Mets message board thread would have been 8 pages, but since Attanasio is cheap, we only get 4 pages.
  23. Underachiever
    Not to mention that the hiccups will probably put Garrett Mitchell on the IL for two months.
  24. Underachiever
    I loved the Colin Rea deal
  25. Underachiever
    Burnes should develop some "forearm soreness" or an "oblique strain" and not pitch until August. Have a good string of starts, and avoid what happened to Woodruff. He just needs to "survive til '25!"
