    Whether Giannis was on the bench and how he acted was a key indicator to me- he was standing and cheering for much of the game. If this was more serious, you’d have to believe he would have been strapped into a chair or something to keep him off the knee…..
  2. PeaveyFury
    Yeah, if the Bucks weren’t making shots on the other end, Atlanta would have closed this gap significantly with how they’re shooting.
  3. PeaveyFury
    McCalvy seems optimistic that Burnes said he was fine to CC. Hopefully precautionary rather than anything more.
  4. PeaveyFury
    …is that to make or win the WS?

    It is bewildering that the Dodgers are so interested in our bullpen cast-offs.
  6. PeaveyFury
    Since being moved to the bullpen (well, and aside from last year's weirdness), Kennedy has been a really good reliever. If they do call on Gallo as I'd like the Brewers to, I'd work with the Rangers to bring Kennedy back too.

    I think you're 100% correct about an additional 'audition period' of sorts for 3B/1B. I just really don't buy Hiura as our best option for 1B THIS YEAR, which makes me wonder if they'd be ultra-interested in a guy like Gallo who could assist him there this year, is around in his last arby year next year to either play there if Hiura fails or slots into whatever OF role they need. He really seems to be an ideal target, playing for a team that would probably be interested in moving him this deadline. Plays good defense, has positional flexibility, not overly costly payroll-wise, and is pretty good insurance for both potential issues at 1B and the OF.... seems like a great fit to me.

    This couldn't be more false. You'll have boosters that own businesses finding ways now, legally, to funnel money throughout the roster. It'll basically create a way to entice players to go to a specific place with $$$. Teams with serious boosters with deep pockets will be the haves, and the rest of the NCAA will be the have-nots. I guess we'll find out. You seem prematurely certain of this. A very fair point.

Isn't that sort of how it is now? Fair point, though this does 'legalize it' in reality. I think it allows for additional opportunities to have players funneled to the SEC-type schools with 'deep pockets'. It's hard not to see this as a huge opportunity to schools like Miami, Georgia, etc., and Duke, UNC, in basketball, while being to the detriment of the Marquettes, Vanderbilts of the world. As you note, recruiting skews that way already, I just think this skews it further.

    Highly likely this one is at LEAST delayed based on the forecast, reminding us once again how silly it was for Pittsburgh to create an open air stadium. I'd be curious to know, since the stadium opened around the same time as Miller Park, how many games they've lost/delayed due to weather in that time.
  11. PeaveyFury
    I guess that's the true question. As someone else noted, it likely pushes them more towards 'super conferences' or the like, with the 'non Power-5' schools relegated to 1B, etc. Whether that further hurts those 1B schools' opportunity to play larger schools and earn the associated revenue remains to be seen, I suppose.

    Bonilla Day still astounds me every single year.

    If they do that the only thing that's going to keep them getting swept in five games again is that there is no game five this time. You’re confusing the “Sweep Suit” series (the 4-gamer in 2001) with the 5-gamer right before the all-star break in 2018. The team recovered pretty well in 2018. The 2001 team not so much… Yikes, I had pushed the 5 gamer (and IIRC, a really brutal series vs. a terrible Marlins team either right before or after that series) out of my mind, largely because of how the season turned out. But I believe that one was right before the break, and that team was absolutely gassed. But yeah, that's at least two Brewer teams that had horrible Pittsburgh series in July, and I feel like there's another one like that too.

    Though it’s hard not to agree with their right to earn, I do think this will destroy any semblance of parity that was left in CFB. Perhaps you’ll have a few more Cinderella moments if they expand the playoff to correspond, but I’m not sure on that.
  17. PeaveyFury
    Is it sad that thought also came into my head this afternoon? I feel like there have been like 3 pretty good, rolling Brewer teams that went into Pittsburgh and got swept.
  18. PeaveyFury
    After the sweep of the Cubs, the Brewers have 86% playoff odds, per Fangraphs.
  19. PeaveyFury
    The truly funny thing is that both Bryant and Rizzo would fit the Brewers' needs absolutely perfectly....
  20. PeaveyFury
    Urias seems to be trending well. Understatement. Yeah, Urias has absolutely exploded since the Adames trade. Hard not to be excited about that duo right now.
  21. PeaveyFury
    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.
  22. PeaveyFury
    Might've been just to save Yelich. Yelich was exchanging words with the ump on his walk back to the dugout so Haines might've stepped in to take the fall before the player did This would absolutely be my bet....
  23. PeaveyFury
    On Barry Alvarez day it's worth noting that 14-7 would have been a final during his era.
  24. PeaveyFury
    Hooooooooly crap has Adames been an absolute joy to have in this lineup. Probably our best acquisition since Yeli, and I'm not sure 2nd is close unless I'm forgetting someone....
  25. PeaveyFury
    Or, they could walk him...
