What a garbage PI call.

Bojorquez is really good. Why did we stick with a bad punter for so long?

Packers offensive line just getting abused.

Poor job by the defense. Hope they settle in. They seem to start games badly.

Yeah I pretty much agree with you on most things Ron Robinson, but I'm going to go with the narrative take on this one that he does indeed suck and him being hurt is indeed a blessing in disguise. Like every other player he has some games that are better than others but in general he is a total liability.

Lol this offense is so pathetic.

A top 30 plus another top 60-100? For 2 years of Hader? I am stunned that there are seemingly numerous people who all saw a very depressed trade market for Josh Hader a year ago who now think it is just going to be different this time.

Gross. Burn the tape, I guess.

It's one of those one way rivalry situations. The Lions hate us for our success, and we don't care enough about the Lions to hate them.

The Cards are a missed chip shot FG by the Vikings from not being unbeaten - and the Packers could pretty easily be a 3-3 team at this point dealing with a ton of injuries. And JJ Watt can care about both money and winning - The Cardinals were a likely playoff team prior to him signing there, but if Green Bay could've offered him the same amount of money as the Cardinals did we all know he'd be a Packer. Sure, probably. And most definitely he can, he'd be silly not to care about the money. The part that I never got is those that insinuated that JJ didn't care about winning because he signed with Arizona over Green Bay. Arizona has a lot to like -- nice young team with a franchise QB.

Has there been a better Thursday night game in recent memory than Packers/Cardinals next week? Cardinals last unbeaten team in the league. So much for the "JJ Watt only cares about money not winning" theory.

Washington moving on from 84% career FG% Dustin Hopkins after missing a 42 yarder last week and signing.....Chris Blewitt. I'm sorry, if you are born with this name you should not aspire to be a professional kicker.

I can't do non-PPR anymore, it is just boring to me. Standard scoring just doesn't seem to be standard scoring anymore. I'm amenable to half PPR but prefer full PPR.

Yelich probably had similar value at the time of his deal as far as a "comp" to Reynolds, and he required 4 prospects. Also he didn't say that a deal would necessarily include all 5 of those guys, but that's where he pegged the value. Obviously a deal would unlikely to be exactly those 5 players.

Say what you want about Bellinger's season compared to Yelich, he's had some big postseason moments. Yelich didn't, unfortunately.

If those are accurate values, it’s simply not a credible system and would have no value as a system. Maybe 100M is pushing it but he's a 6 WAR switch hitting outfielder with 4 years of reasonably priced club control. He's absolutely worth a haul.

I would have still rolled with AJB, Beasley ended up being the call but both would have done decently for you. I had the second most points in my league this week with 184 ...and lost to the guy who scored 187 to drop me to 2-4. Frustrating sometimes. On the plus side I'm 5-1 in my other two, one of which I have no business being 5-1 in and the other which I've just been decimated with injuries but have had the depth to withstand it.

That sounds like what a lot of people were saying after his crappy 2020 short season... Yet 2020 which was a garbage trash season that counts for nothing for anybody and 2021 combined are only a seasons worth of ABs off a bad injury, and a bad back to boot. His final AB of the year was pathetic, but im sorry, not going to sit here with recency bias firmly planted in the head and call him trash because he ended our season. .265/.380 with 15-20 HR ain’t mike trout or mvp yelich but that’ll make the offense function just fine. I don't think people are disappointed in Yelich solely because he ended our season....the 500 or so ABs before then are what have people worried. .265/.380 and 15-20 HR would sadly be a step in the right direction yes. Unfortunately he was not even that good at. 248/.362/ 9 HR.

Brewcrewin07, So, your posts on baseball economics always seem to assume that everything can be operated within a vacuum free from resulting consequences. Could Mark A. bump the payroll up to $200M next year? Well yes, technically he could, as every team in baseball could if they really wanted to, there is no salary cap rule preventing them from doing so. In the same way, there is nothing technically preventing me from maxing out my credit cards, cashing in my 401K, and spending my next year vacationing on tropical islands. I avoid doing so knowing the reality that there would be harsh consequences of my decision. In the same way, the Brewers would have consequences of a $200M payroll. The best case scenario would be that they would have to slash payroll in future years, which would certainly upset you, and there would be no guarantee that a $200M payroll would "buy" a championship, as teams prove every year. In short, the Brewers aren't in a large enough media market to generate enough revenue to support a consistent $200M payroll. Your posts on this matter are frankly something I would expect to see from a teenager with no grip on basic economics, much less baseball economics. To see someone who has been posting for 15 years on this board recycle this same tired nonsense over and over again is somewhat shocking; I like to think that our fanbase is a little more intelligent than this. It's clear that you will never be convinced that you are wrong on this matter so I can only tell you that the economic outlook for the Brewers is not changing, so continuing to expect otherwise is wasted effort on your part. The reality is that you can either accept the budget that this team works within or align your fandom with a team that is more in line with your expectations on payroll spending.

To be clear, in the unlikely (impossible) event that every franchise in baseball managed to survive a $150M floor, you have jacked up the average MLB salary by at least 50% if not more, so nothing has been accomplished other than extreme hyperinflation of MLB salaries.

Murray, Dak, and Josh Allen are definitely high end contenders.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/10/details-on-the-cardinals-firing-of-mike-shildt.html Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch adds another possible factor to the list, perhaps based around how “The Cardinal Way” has long been a backbone of the organization’s practices. “Internally, there had been concern about the absence and ongoing leak of Cardinals-rooted presences,” Goold writes, with some internal dismay over what one source described as “losing tradition” to other clubs. What. The heck. Does this even mean.

As good as Ramirez is, 2 years of him is not worth more than 5 cheap controlled years of Peralta. And that's a hard pass from me regardless, I wouldn't do Freddy for JRam straight up. Freddy is a very important part of our success and for where we are at right now I'd much rather deal from the farm or bullpen than fix one hole by creating another. The control on Freddy is very valuable, he's the only one of the big 3 that we have committed beyond '24.

Great answer.

Why, man?
