    Contreras needed to be patient in that AB. That hurts.

    Oh man. What a quality win.
  3. adambr2
    There are literally not any worse options than Winker.

    Even if you HAVE to put him in the lineup, which he shouldn't generally be in, you have 9 options for spots to put him in the lineup. Why would you bat him CLEANUP???

    I am honestly not sure any team takes more than 1 game against this team in a playoff series.

    If Gamecast is accurate, pitch 2 to Arcia was a horrific call.
  7. adambr2
    Why? He's been throwing BP sessions and appears to be on track. I don't think we have any reason to not expect him back in early August.
  8. adambr2
    You know who doesn't call a strike on a pitch off the plate just because the count is 3-0? Roboumps.

    So, every time you see an apparently lopsided deal like this go down in your favor, you're obviously excited but there's always another part of you going, "OK, there's got to be something more we don't know." Like maybe Ruiz is just way highly more regarded as a prospect than the public consensus? That was my first assumption and it would also put new perspective on the Josh Hader trade. But, so far, this trade looks exactly how we would have expected to and I still don't understand it. Maybe if there was some big salary implications attached, but there isn't. I am not sure how or why a prospect like Ruiz is worth a young AS caliber catcher plus other pieces. I still don't get it.

    Can you imagine if we didn't acquire Payamps? I'm still trying to figure our how we got Conteras and Payamps for Estuery Ruiz. Seems like a veto worthy fantasy football trade.

    His overall trend the last few years and the fact that he's 43 suggest that he is probably out of gas. However, his numbers are simply mediocre, not utterly unplayable, so if they wanted to pick him up for essentially free and let him DH against LHP, I'd have no issue with it.

    Bucks couldn't really do anything else other than run it back with their core, so keeping it together with Middleton and Lopez was the correct choice. As others have said I think there's a 2 year window here to try to win another ship and then the Bucks are in for some very lean rebuilding years. They will attempt to keep Giannis of course, but I think his mind is all but made up to play out his contract here and then take his talents elsewhere for a change.

    95 was hard in like 2003.

    Final answer to who won the Urias/Lauer for Grisham/Davies trade: nobody.
  15. adambr2
    No he most certainly would not.
  16. adambr2
    True, but foresight is kind of part of the job of a GM, no?

    Imagine the Nashville Sounds coming into AmFam and not only winning a game, but sweeping the Brewers. That's what happened here.
  19. adambr2
    So I guess the only real difference here is that if Love is the guy, he gets an additional 2.3M in 2024 while they presumably work out an extension, and if he blows so massively that they have to move on after 2023, they save about 6.7M versus if they had just picked up the option. Personally if you're confident in the guy I don't know why you don't just pick up the option rather than hedge your bet like this. If they were going to go this route I would have rather giving him a little bigger signing bonus and tried to secure an extra year of control in '25.
  20. adambr2
    The reason that the "consensus" was that Yelich signed a team friendly deal is that the part of this that always gets overlooked is that Yelich signed his massive extension when he still had 3 years remaining on his contract (and was coming off a major injury). People look at these contracts and compare them to similar players who get deals in free agency and it's just absolutely an apples and oranges comparison. Free agents have all the leverage. Could Yelich have bet on himself, played out his last 3 years with us on his old contract, and gotten a much more massive payday if he continued to play at an MVP level? Sure, hypothetically, but in reality he would have lost that bet and probably well over 100 million in the process.
  21. adambr2
    It wasn't all that team friendly at the time despite what the consensus was and it's obviously an albatross now. He might have liked it or like it here but the main reason he took the deal was he likes money. Most people do, so I certainly don't blame him for that.
  22. adambr2
    I haven't heard/seen any extension talk on Love. Any links to this? I'd just be curious. An extension right now doesn't make much sense to me. Would think the Packers would want to see what they have first before committing. Maybe a 2 year extension after this year like you suggested would make sense though? A guaranteed signing bonus of 20M or so might sound good to Love and the Packers could potentially get some cap friendly numbers in '24 and '25 if he pans out. Maybe that IS the delay. "Take this deal or we're going to decline your option and if you suck this year you'll be looking around for a cheap backup job somewhere next year." In much nicer words, of course.
  23. adambr2
    Still no decision on Love's 5th year option. If they aren't willing to commit 20M or so to him for 2024, in a QB market where Daniel Jones types get 40M a year, they are not nearly as confident in him as they've implied.
  24. adambr2
    I'm assuming it's a near certainty that the Packers will pick up the 5th year option on Love. It's not ideal with the information they have, but they are pretty much hitching their wagon to him for at least the next 2 seasons anyway. May as well just go that route rather than do what the Giants did and miscalculate and end up paying more with no leverage on Jones other than the franchise tag.
  25. adambr2
    4-7 would be interesting. That's about 64.7% but could wind up on either side of 65. My assumption is that they'd still go for it, they have too much invested not to, unless Rodgers was somehow so disastrous that they had a good excuse to switch. The Jets have a pretty good defense and some good skill players on offense so I doubt this is a factor though.
