  1. The “best” hitter on this team has a .792 OPS. That is a 9 hole hitter in L.A or New York. It’s a serious, serious problem. They are numerous hitters away.
  2. As an aside, the fact that Gute just cut literally his 1st or 2nd best 1st round pick of all time is a pretty good illustration of how brutal his track record is in the 1st.
  3. Yes, I think it’s highly likely that once again, the Packers will beat those inferior opponents, get a 6th or 7th seed, and be one and done in January. Here is my issue — at the end of the 2023 season, when the Packers came within a hair of the NFC Championship, they looked like a team on the drastic rise. The improvement from the first half of 2023 was extreme. The “rebuild” was clearly coming to an end, and expectations were high coming into 2024. Stagnation, and even decline, certainly weren’t expected. “They’re young, they’ll improve even more!” was the cliche line repeated. Fact is, Gute hasn’t done a good job at all of complementing the young talent on this team with any experience. When the expectations were non-existent, that was fine. Now, not so much. The goal isn’t to have the youngest team in the NFL every year. It’s to win a Super Bowl. I think we can all agree that, a year and a half later after the 49er playoff exit, not even being among the top 5 teams in the conference as far as who should realistically have expectations of achieving that goal this season., is certainly disappointing.
  4. Detroit getting a healthy Hutch back is worth more than any move any North team did this offseason. Also, I’m not as high on JJ McCarthy as the hype train is, but the Vikings won 14 games with Sam Darnold last year. It’s not like he’s replacing Mahomes.
  5. Statistically, the Packers did indisputably win 11 games last year. On the field, there’s a lot of context missing from this statement. The Packers took care of business against pretty much every inferior opponent on the schedule. Every time they were tested against a contender, they failed the test. With numerous opportunities. They didn’t look like an improved team at all from the second half of the 9 win 2023 Packer season. If you want to put the O/U at 11 wins next year, I’ll definitely take the under.
  6. What a lousy offseason by Gute. The only thing we really had to hang our hat on was “if we get a healthy Jaire back that is worth more than anything else this offseason” and now we don’t even have that. Not only did you not keep Jaire, you couldn’t even get any compensation for him. Obviously the games aren’t played on paper, surprising players could break out, etc, but no unbiased Packer can say this looks like a more talented roster than what we went into the 2024 season with. Disappointing. I would anticipate us being widely expected to finish in the bottom half of our division again, and I would concur that this is most likely.
  7. Sorry, I have no idea what happened with the PC resulting in the multiple posts. Please delete.
  8. Pulling Rhys for a PR in the 6th inning knowing he'll come up again for a far inferior bat is not a "50/50 shot".

  14. In several ways Murphy should take accountability for this loss. I hope he does, and doesn't just make excuses. I'd respect him for it.
  15. I know there are worse hitters in our lineup than Collins, but he has not looked like a major league hitter on either of his last two ABs.
  16. I know Murph gets crucified often and it isn't always justified, but he's really having a poor game. Not playing the matchup with Peralta vs Machado just for one batter and going to Zas to start the inning resulted in the only run. That made sense on no level. Pulling Rhys just really looking like an overthinking reason to go to the bench and again came back to bite him later.
  17. I wonder how smart it makes a person feel to have Andruw Monasterio bat with the game on the line instead of your best hitter because you thought it would be cute to have said best hitter pinch-run for in the 6th. Not that smart, I imagine.
  18. I feel like on June 6th, Murphy was on the can and was looking over his roster and his eyes got wide and he put his hand over his mouth as he realized Aaron Asbhy was on his team this entire time.
  19. I was just pleased he didn't get doubled up, which says something. If you still have a sub .500 OPS in June with full-time ABs, that is not ideal.
  20. Yeah, Yelich was totally guessing 3-2. Didn't guess right on that one. With runners on base in a 0-0 game, would have preferred a more aggressive guess there.
  21. I don't think I've ever seen Frelick look as uncomfortable in an at-bat as he looked in that one. Just never had a shot.
