That was cool, he fooled me. Great play JBJ. -
Peterson and JBJ just two classic run producers right there.

Compound interest grows faster than your gut would assume. If the Mets invested the 5.9M in 2001 and got 8% back every year it would be worth 37.4M in 2025. They would have made ~7M by delaying the payments. They also assumed they would get 11%-13% and were set to make a killing in this deal. But the person who "guaranteed" that return ended up just being a fraud that lost them all of the original money. Add in the fact that it was a NY team and that is why Bonilla became the example everyone uses. It also fits the dream. We all dreamt at some point of being a ball player and making millions playing the game. Now the imagination goes to making millions for sitting at home after retiring in your 30s. I guess where I'm looking at it is do the more common deferrals that teams work out with players today work the same way? My impression was that Braun's deferral, for example, doesn't include interest, it's just a straight deferral of that money from his contract. If that's true the Mets' way of doing it feels even more stupid.

He didn't start on June 16th, but had a pinch hit. Ah, the technicality strikes again. Thanks for the info!

[sarcasm]How many grand slams does Willy need to hit before getting a day off?[/sarcasm] Seriously though, I think I read that he's played in every game since he was traded here. Surprised he's dodged the eye of CC so far.

Appears we will miss DeGrom too. Wins keep coming! Really? Isn’t he pitching tomorrow? That would put him on schedule to go Tuesday or Weds against us unless my app is wrong. It's funny, I noticed that ESPN's website has Burnes squaring off against deGrom on Tuesday and the game will be televised on ESPN that night. However it looks like their schedule is counting the days off as if both Burnes and deGrom are on an every 5th day schedule but we know our rotation is using a 6th man/bullpen day and deGrom's last appearance was June 26, which also suggests he's on a 6th day rotation. So their actual matchup could be on Wednesday instead which I'm sure would mess up their hope that their matchup would come on ESPN's televised game on Tuesday. Edit: I take that back, I was counting a 31st day in June for some reason. DeGrom does appear to be on a 5th day schedule then.

The first and obvious answer is yes, Craig Counsell and the front office do. Of course it's something they've considered and clearly they've made their choice. I think it simply comes down to making choices based on a known situation in real time versus trying to predict the future and gambling on the infinite unknowns that future entails. To me that's the infallible logic of the situation. So I pitch Hader in the 9th every time and deal with what happens from there when it actually happens.

Didn't it have something to do with the can't miss returns Madoff promised? Yes, still doesn't make much sense to me to pay $30 million instead of $6 million but I'm far from a financial genius.
-
I've known about the Bobby Bonilla annual deferments for years but I had either forgotten or just never looked up why it was so noteworthy. It blows my mind that the Mets turned a $5.9 million buyout into 25 years of paying around $1.2 million annually for a grand total of nearly $30 million. Plus he has a 2nd separate deferred agreement of $500k for 25 years from the Mets as well! LOL

I'd suggest that he's basing those decisions that seem questionable to us on information/analysis that we don't have available to us, making it less questionable to him in the first place. Yeah, despite my disagreement with not starting Burns, I have always been a pretty big Counsell supporter. I really enjoy watching the emotion he throws into this team. He really cares and I think the players pick up on that. Does anybody really think that Counsell is the only one coming up with the 6 man rotation and deciding which pitchers will start 6th games? Really? Is he the one telling Stearns which roster moves to make too? Come on people, this is organizational collaboration, Counsell is absolutely involved but I don't think he's calling all the shots on his own. Counsell makes the line-up and in game decisions, yes, but I think there are a lot of hands all over how to approach long term strategies involving the pitching staff.

Gettin' Jiggy With It

WILLY FREAKING ADAMES!!!
-
Would love to see a big hit here for a real Cubs demoralizer.
-
I really like this Nance guy. More of him please.
-
Also, is it just me or has replay been a lot more kind to the Brewers than it used to be? Not that I think that was even close to a wrong call but there was a time when I doubted any call would go their way.
-
To fuel the Burnes fire, they can still put him in this game if they wanted to lol.
-
Weird, it's almost like there were still 8 more innings to play after the 1st inning.
-
This isn't some original idea here but Adames really seems to have unlocked fun and given this team a personality. Avi Garcia and Omar Narvaez have kind of stepped up as leaders and Urias appears to have found himself to be a comfortable fit for the team whereas before he seemed a little lost and awkward being a newer player, acquired in a trade and big things being expected of him. It's a lot of pressure for a young guy that hadn't established himself yet but now he fits. It's been fun to watch this team really come together over the last month or so. Yelich and Shaw have been, I feel, more lead by example guys and more even keel, chill type guys, which is fine but I just really like the energy that's formed more recently.
-
If Hiura is magically back to hitting like we all thought he was going to be circa 2019 this is going to be a fun rest of this season.
-
What is this inning? Lol

I don't think there's a ton of shame in losing a game or series where your team falls just short of reaching the final game or series. If they're in the final four that's damn good. Sometimes I look at the Packers' Wikipedia page and look at the list of 21 playoff appearances since 1993, including 14 division championships, never missing the playoffs more than 2 consecutive seasons in that time. Reaching 8 NFC championship game appearances and 3 super bowls, winning twice. That's close to 30 years of mostly good times, franchises would drool over that legacy of success. Over the years we've become desensitized to merely making the playoffs and I can't really say that's unreasonable, at some point those appearances need to pay off. Maybe they could have a small handful of additional super bowl appearances but if it wasn't for New England I'm not sure we'd look at it as the big failure that we do. If I could hand pick a Wisconsin team to win a league championship I wouldn't even have to think about it, it'd be the Brewers in a landslide. I'd pick them to do it twice if I could. Baseball still feels like the most difficult sport to win it all, even rich teams go through droughts like the Yankees and Dodgers have. A Brewers World Series championship before I die, pretty please with whipped cream and a cherry on top. I'll take the Bucks in the here and now though since they're on the cusp, I don't have supreme confidence in them but a finals appearance might just be good enough.

I was wondering yesterday how Adames felt hitting a big HR with a large crowd cheering for him. YELI BOMB!!!

2021 ECF. Bucks vs Hawks: UPDATE - - - BUCKS IN SIX

Can't get lazy and just jack up threes every possession. Gotta keep putting pressure on their interior defense and make ATL really work if they want to try to stay in this game. -

I hated the loss Wednesday, there's no mistaking that it sucked and was a huge let down. At the end of the day it was 3 points that decided it. Trae had 48 point, Capela and Collins combined for 34 rebounds (the Bucks as a team had 45) and Khris Middleton couldn't hit a jump shot whether it was a 2 or a 3. 3 points. If all that happens 3 more times then tip your caps to Atlanta. -

Does Capella have a tent under the basket? He's always there.
