When Does The Lockout End? Answer: March 10th, 2022
rickh150 replied to jjgott's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Both are going to be plenty bullheaded. Logic and reason say this will not affect the regular season, but idk. If they can cancel a WS in 94, they can start a season a few weeks later. Drops in the bucket if it means a longer term change for their benefit. -
When Does The Lockout End? Answer: March 10th, 2022
rickh150 replied to jjgott's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I agree with this. I think they push it right up to when Spring Training would typically begin, maybe a week or two into that and then come to an agreement. But the sides are pretty far apart in negotiations, right? Not much to go on now to think sides are going to get together quickly on important topics like luxury tax, revenue sharing, arbitration/free agency, team control time, universal draft, competitive balance, etc. Small market owners are going to have their heels dug in on some of these topics less they have even less opportunity to compete. If the Tampa model is, in essence, being attacked by the PA for using cheap, young players to compete yearly, then roughly half of the teams are going to have real issues to come to any deal where they are being forced to spend/lose more $ or trade off good players even earlier. -

4…. May 26 -
I’d be fine with this too. Something.
-
Every coach challenges that last point.
-
So the game isn’t a half hour longer. For me, it would be Lose one and you lose another. Lose your last and you don’t have the 5th set extra. Not sure how this would add time. It might actually cut time.
-
Also, why won challenges aren’t kept, I’ll never know. You could challenge three calls, be right on all three, and have none left (until 5th set you get one). It seems better to lose a challenge if you lose one and keep all challenges that you win.
-
I agree. Lots of extremely close calls that were managed well over a course of a what, 3 hour match. Tons of blocks, in the Nets, tips, maybe tips to contend with. That overturned last point… I could see a finger go back. Is that definitive enough? Not sure .
-
The high # of service errors made me think they could have played even better. I’ll give them an A-.

1) You didn't say "last year", you just called them backups. B) If you watched Davison (who wasn't a backup last year) throw down 29 on North Carolina in the tourney last year and followed Davis at all on the U19 World Cup team this past summer, you would have known that this is a very talented backcourt. Throw in Wahl who is one of the best defenders in the country and a true freshman good enough to start at PG and you have a team that, barring any key injuries, will beat a lot of good teams this year. Yeah, they look pretty good now. No argument. Glad. Who was saying that this offseason? Maybe you, I guess, and good for you. My guess is not, though. IMO, Davis at least coulda shoulda been looking around for a better situation. But, hey, maybe he did. Maybe this situation just was better for him. I’m just saying I would have at least thought about moving elsewhere when most of the team was gone, leaving mainly (literally) backups of the team and (actually) unproven D1 players. No penalty of sitting a year. He could have handpicked his school for three (plus) years. My guess is that he couldn’t do that upon high school graduation.
-
To be fair, they were on a team with five seniors last year who were pretty decent players themselves. Now that those seniors have left, they're not backups anymore.... Why this is debatable I do not know. All I wrote was that if I were him I would have THOUGHT about leaving Wisconsin. I think about everybody in his place would have at least thought about leaving a team that lost most of its minute playing heart the previous season for a better team. Also, Davis wouldn’t have had to sit out a season like previous seasons, all the more reason to think about it. Throw in Gard not being a player’s delight seemingly last year (albeit seemingly Tucker’s doing) and it would be almost crazy not to at least think about possibly playing elsewhere in a year where there is no penalty to leave. So glad he is back. So fun to watch.
-
The backups that won the Maui Invitational and beat Georgia Tech - last year's winner of the ACC tournament - at Georgia Tech? Those backups? Yep. They were mainly backups and unproven players last year. They also were ranked #10 in preseason Big Ten polls. Glad you knew this was where they’d be on Dec. 7.

If Bradley can be traded … why not Yelich too?
rickh150 replied to edfunderburk's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I'm not at all certain this is where the FA market is headed. Possible yes, but I almost think it was too coincidental with the expiration of the CBA that these contracts were bloated to make the owners look good. Owners sign these big contract players for their own teams sake only. I don’t think they care how it makes them look across the league with the PA when the lockout was imminent anyway. There is no leverage to be gained by signing FAs to big and bad contracts early. -
Davis is likely gone. I was just glad he didn’t jump ship this year to a Kentucky or Kansas. If I was him, that would have been a thought instead of playing with a bunch of backups here.
-
2) Yes, you can. Rule 5 says so.
-
Great trade. We could have given JBJ away with the prospects for a bag of apples and I would have said still a good trade. We get a good player with a decent contract for two years and we get rid of a floundering player with a costly contract. The prospects are meh too, at least now.
-
Wahl is so much better this year. Unrecognizable. He can drive, score down low, is physical, etc. Why the Badgers are considerably better than first thought starts with him.

Thanks. I can sleep now. Great trade.
-
How about the $? Did we send some back?
-
I’m game to trade one of them to restock the farm and fill holes at 3B and 1B. If they change arby rules and give FA to any 30 year old, we have Wiody for just one more season. Trading him would then almost be a must less risk losing him to FA.
-
Crazy nuts deal… and the guy is hurt too often. 10 years? Guaranteed money. And the team still can’t pitch.
-
Glad he got it. Exceptional season.
-
Yeah, I like Levering. More TV for him is fine with me. Enjoy about all of the TV guys, which are many. I do like less combos and more of the same TV guys, also in 2021.
