  1. Jrue has been brutal offensively, but really solid on the other end.
  2. How much longer are the breaks for warmups now than they were pre-tv?
  3. I love when games are called one way for three quarters and then it changes.
  4. Efforts to change the pace of the game are irrelevant if you don’t show any willingness to address the massive elephant in the room, length and frequency of commercial breaks. But no one in any position of authority in any sport wants to talk about that one.
  5. Man, you let a lot of contact go all game then call two garbage fouls on one possession?
  6. Yeah, he’s made some contested shots on good defensive plays. Still, all these Suns fouls will pay big dividends in the 4th….
  7. Yeah, I saw that piece on CBS as well. Really interesting stuff.
  8. They should do the full sale and deal with the short-term fallout, but they'll be scared that the large bandwagon component to their fanbase that became Cubs fans circa 2015 won't understand the benefits/reasons for doing so. As such, I expect them to do the most Cubs-like sale off possible, which IMO means they'll only sell on Kimbrel and be left with QOs to Bryant/Rizzo/Baez.
  9. I see he also doubled-down on his Milwaukee comments, so there's that as well.
  10. Perhaps if he IS willing to be here, it's because that he too likes what he's seen out of Love in practices?
  11. This is completely spot on. If he doesn’t sign at this point then something likely went horribly wrong. McClanahan doesn’t get a lot of mention because his career hasn’t taken off so far, but he received the second highest Brewers bonus payout in the 2016 draft behind only Corey Ray. He got more than Lucas Erceg, and significantly more than other earlier round selections such as Mario Feliciano, Braden Webb, Corbin Burnes, Zack Brown, etc. Even the next year, 2017, they signed two players (Max Lazar and Je’Von Ward) from the the 11th and 12th round for $475k each. Other notable post 10th round signing bonuses include 12th rounder Kory Howell ($210k) and 13th rounder Reese Olson ($440k) from the 2018 draft. I agree with you both, and I am of the belief that as a result he may be one of the first to sign, as I think they likely had the framework of a deal already in mind when they picked him yesterday.
  12. This is basically where I've been since day one. Despite the media and some fans' puzzling belief that he'd actually retire, there was a zero% chance of that, and as you noted, only a slightly higher chance that they'd trade him, as in the end it's best for both parties for Rodgers to play in Green Bay next year. Looking forward to the inevitable, somewhat magical and extremely vague on details stories about 'coming together' or 'having worked through their differences', which are sure to come in the next couple of weeks as we reach camp, despite the fact that I doubt anything has actually been worked through.
  13. Am I remembering correctly that the wrestler who was Isaac Yankem is Cain?
  14. Sorry to hear that. My Grandfather had a stomach aneurysm rupture like that about 15 years ago now, and he managed to survive it somehow. Hoping your mother's procedures both go well.
  15. Yep, they'll give him a token 'suspension' or something like that because in the end they'll have to, but then he'll go back to doing exactly what they pay him to do.
  16. Looks like we may possibly ruin the season of ASU, should things go in the Brewers' way.
  17. Riggio is a name that, oddly enough, I have followed a bit. I am beyond excited about this pick. For those that were looking yesterday for a Burnes-like name to be excited about drafting a bit later than the big names in the early rounds, this one is it.
  18. Just because this is true doesn't AUTOMATICALLY mean those teams would have interest. San Diego is paying Hosmer gobs of money, and I'd be astounded if they chose to push him to the bench. Doesn't mean it won't happen, just that I think it's exceptionally unlikely. Well, his no-trade clause likely limited that possibility in a lot of ways.
  19. You'd have to think the Brewers would be ultra-interested in signing either Rizzo or Bryant to an extension, so I don't think it's crazy to think that it COULD be more than a rental.
  20. But this draft is still in progress.... we haven't even made it to the aftermath yet to know who will be touting what.
  21. I had NO idea that both Sutton and Matt V. were the Angels TV guys this year.
  22. More on Clarke: Though Clarke tied for the NCAA Division I lead with 23 homers and has obvious strength, scouts aren't sure how his player will play in pro ball. He does draw walks and has had success with wood bats in summer leagues, but he has an uphill right-handed stroke that gets beat by quality fastballs and most offspeed pitches. He's limited athletically and a subpar defender at first base.
