I'm so confused at what all these angry pitch clock violation gestures by the umpires mean.
-
Steele nowhere close to Rowdy on the first two pitches and he takes a wild hack at the third pitch still nowhere close and changes the entire AB.
-
You don't know what a strike is Cody, shut up. Wasn't that long ago when the only possible answers to who the best player in the National League was were Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich. My how things have changed.
-
I feel like the Brewers hired two hitting coaches just to say to the fans, "see? We even have two guys for you to blame instead of one and they still can't get it done. It's not the coaches, these guys just stink." Does feel a lot harder to scapegoat a hitting coach when there's two. 😆

Contreras carry rocks in his pockets on the bases?
-
Woodruff looking solid today.
-
50-60% is about right, I think. The Brewers could absolutely make the playoffs. However, they could be perilously close to a major rebuild if things don't go well. If you're not really in the race at the break, you almost have to shop Burnes and Woodruff, right?
-
First swing double for Wiemer!
-
Adames could have had one too, swung at Ball 4 right before the single that could have gotten us on the board with nobody out. Instead, Contreras isn't rewarded for a rocket and GIDP ends the inning. So many little things we do wrong to avoid scoring.

Ding dong, the shift is dead. Long live the pitch clock.

Fair point. If you're saying it's inevitable at this point, just a matter of time, I agree, it's just gotten frustrating watching ump show after ump show year after year. I'm definitely talking about roboumps but they could also be holding umpires more accountable in the meantime and it doesn't feel like that happens. -

MLB: What can we do better? Everyone: Your umps stink, do something about it. MLB: Agreed, there's too many pitching changes. We'll get rid of the LOOGY role by changing bullpen use rules. What else? Everyone: Your umps stink, do something about it. MLB: I hear ya, the shift has gotten out of hand. Anything more? Everyone: Your umps stink, do something about it. MLB: Absolutely, games have gotten too long. It's time for a pitch clock. Any more feedback? Everyone: Your umps stink, do something about it. Also, blackout restrictions are ridiculous and outdated. MLB: Well, I think that's about all the time we have for today. -
Not that I'm complaining, but how come when I was a kid you had to cough up big bucks for any WWE pay-per-view, especially Wrestlemania, and now any chump with a 4.99 a month Peacock subscription can watch Live?

I don't know if we can beat the Celtics. Not that we aren't better, not that we aren't an outstanding team, but it just feels like a team that has our number somehow, we don't match up well against, however you want to say it. In the playoffs last year -- it just always felt to me like Boston had things pretty well under control. And yes I know it went 7 games and we were up 3-2. It was an outstanding steal of Game 5 that gave us a chance to steal the series. And who knows, we could find a way to steal one more and beat them this year. But I hate the matchup. Assuming we hold onto #1, I'll be rooting for the 76ers all the way, because I'm a lot more confident in that matchup for a ECF. Either way, just feels like it's Boston or Milwaukee in the Finals. But yeah, it was a little disheartening to be so non-competitive last night, 2nd game of a back to back or not.
-
No, I know he cleared and we still have him. Just still feels like the end of an era that never happened of a guy that I thought would anchor our offense for a decade.
-
I don't think you can be outrighted without being DFAed? Not 100% sure on that. All I meant to point out, even though I understand he remains with the organization, is that it feels like the end of an era that never was with Hiura. A few years ago I thought he was going to be a mainstay in this lineup for years, but I was very mistaken. If only our offense had the Hiura and Yelich we thought we had 3 years ago, who knows where the fortunes of this organization would be. EDIT: Oops sorry, back to the Packers 😅
-
He was in fact DFA'ed, and I understand he was also outrighted after his DFA. https://apnews.com/article/mlb-brewers-voit-varland-turang-9aad51e45978d726cb3cd45dd8b430c8

That we DFAed Keston Hiura :(
-
It doesn't surprise me that we asked for #13. It also doesn't surprise me that we never really had a chance of getting it.
-
I think the 24 1st will be conditional. So if they suck, chances are the pick doesn't end up being a 1st. If Gute can get a guaranteed 1st, fantastic but conditional with a reasonable chance of it becoming a 1st seems a lot more likely to me.
-
Gute has already basically conceded that we aren't insisting on #13. I don't really know why we are even speculating on it anymore. Now, a 24 1st seems reasonably possible if the conditions are as reasonable as the last article suggests (Jets host a divisional playoff game or make the AFCCG), so get ready to cheer for the Jets in 2023.

I think we'll get conditional piece(s). By heading both directions do you mean the Jets are asking to get something back from us if Rodgers were to retire? I agree that would be a silly request and I doubt it's being asked of us.
-
I don't think that contingencies are unreasonable in a case like this. The return for Favre was entirely contingency-based. I'd be happy to at least get the guaranteed 2nd in this case, and a chance at another high pick in '24 and/or '25. I think that's reasonable compensation. An additional 2nd would be gravy. Insisting on their 2023 1st is futile. They'll continue to wait and in a month it won't be there for us to insist on and we'll have lost all chances at any 2023 compensation. Gute isn't going to tell them to pound sand when he has absolutely no good alternatives to not getting the deal done. The deal will get done.
-
If they're insisting on #13 than there's no guns to stick to after the draft, they just don't get it. Their '24 pick could be anywhere and I presume all parties are projecting it to be later than 13, probably in the 20s. Only way I can see it makes sense to wait until after is if Gute has a good feel that the Jets will be pretty amenable to making it a '24 1st with it being so far away and assuming they'll pick late. If that's the idea, I'd be fine with it. Otherwise, they almost certainly lose value waiting.

Douglas not trying to leverage the Lamar trade request against the Packers.
