    That was an absolutely atrocious quarter. I guess we should be grateful the score is what it is.

    The whole guaranteed money thing is big here too. If he feels he can get a lot more guaranteed money on the open market (which he should) AND play for a QB/team that is relevant, he could easily wait (or risk) a year. If he is that concerned about injury, I’m sure he can invest in a policy that covers part of that risk. The whole uncertainty of Rodgers, though, makes me doubt the extension. Or he wouldn't even get to the open market because the Packers would just slap the franchise tag on him and now he's suddenly in his 30s with a dryer market because he's two years older. He'll likely be extended this year, and it's probably wise on his part not to wait.

    Am I remembering correctly that the wrestler who was Isaac Yankem is Cain? Yes. Far better gimmick there at least.
  4. adambr2
    Adams cares probably 90% about the size of his next contract and 10% about who the QB is during that contract. Not that I spite him for it. It's his livelihood. But this is going to be his last big payday regardless of who is QB. Just my opinion.

    I was kind of nervous to go back and see what my initial take on the Peralta trade was, honestly.

    I can watch football all day for 3 straight games on a Sunday while following my fantasy teams and never get sick of it. Helps that it's only a weekly thing in the fall I suppose as opposed to a daily thing for 6 months.

    You posted twice in his thread. I believe it. I post on everything. Just wasn't memorable enough for me to even remember who he was. So I guess not the first time technically, just the first time since then that I remembered it, lol.

    I am watching some old RAW episodes from the 90s on Peacock and some of the gimmicks seek unfathomably bad in hindsight now. "Duke the Dumpster Droese?" "Isaac Yankem DDS?" How were those actual things?
  9. adambr2
    If you want to make it interesting but not go as gimmicky as a HR contest, start in extra innings with the bases loaded. All runs that start on the bases are unearned. Games will be over in a hurry and then you'll REALLY have to start thinking about how much more value those strikeout pitchers have in extras.

    For Ramirez you mean? Because I'm all but certain they will make trade(s) this month.
  11. adambr2
    First time I realized we had a guy named Ryan Weber on our 40 man roster, and now we don't.
  12. adambr2
    It's entirely possible. As you said, he's human, and some of the attempts have looked horrendous. I just think it's a really small sample and variation to conclude anything definitively. It's not like he's going 13 for 15 at home and 3 for 11 on the road. The mental aspect of professional sports definitely exists and varies from human to human. I would guess there have been some closers in baseball that simply can't handle the pressure and environment of trying to close out games on the road and lose their composure entirely. And there are probably other ones that straight up feed off of the boos.
  13. adambr2
    No, but they were obviously still distracting him on the road before the counting became a thing. I don't know if it's so much the counting in his head as much as it might just be one of those really bad stretches. His free throw shooting stunk in every single home game in the Brooklyn series. He's just seemed to have long stretches of real inconsistency at the line throughout the last couple seasons where he really struggles. Then he'll look like he has it figured out again for awhile and then he'll struggle again.
  14. adambr2
    I don't understand the mechanics behind free throw shooting to get why some big guys can do it and some are just trash at it. Brook Lopez is also a big goon with about 10% of the athleticism that Giannis has and he knocks them down just fine. There must be a far bigger mental aspect to free throw shooting than physical, but I've also heard that studies have shown that fan distraction has little to no influence on free throw shooting.

    I don't think people fully appreciate how good Jose Ramirez is. If the Indians ever actively shop him I imagine they will be picking from teams with top level farms.
  16. adambr2
    I don't think it's so much about the prospect rankings being wrong. When you're dealing with these teenage prospects, especially the lesser known ones out of Central America, Dominican, etc, there's so much unknown, so much projection. You can live and breathe prospect lists for a living, but there's still so much they don't know. Deals like this are just a real win for the scouting team first and foremost, because there's so much deep diving going into these kinds of prospects.

    https://amp.jsonline.com/amp/4626623001 Some blurbs and quotes from this article: Despite the setback, Cain said he thought he prepared as best he could during a pandemic over the offseason after sitting out most of the 2020 campaign. Yeah, 100%. My wife made me go out and buy a treadmill this offseason,” Cain said. “That’s something I thought I’d never buy. I ran a lot on the treadmill; I worked out as much as I could as far as the offseason. “I know I came in, in pretty good shape. The baseball shape is something I need to hone in on, and get a feel for again. I’m up for the challenge. I’ll be on the field as soon as this quad is ready to go.” Sounds almost the opposite of what you're saying, brewers888. Always good to double check things and not rely on hearsay. BTW, I'm not saying the poster in the Cain injury thread was lying or passing along bad information. Just sometimes things get misinterpreted or taken out of context from person to person and before you know it, "I chased my kids around a lot" turns into "I ate junk food with my kids every day and never worked out once."

    Contract was announced as 2/24, but it's complicated, Cot's says... 21:$6.5M, 22:$9.5M player option ($6.5M buyout), 23:$12M mutual option ($8M buyout) So the rest of 21 (2+ million) plus the buyouts (14.5 million). Would imagine JBJ can't pick up his PO for 22 if he's DFA, but if he somehow can (and 6.5 + 9.5 + 8 = 24 so maybe he can?) that's another three million. TLDR DFA JBJ $$$$$ I would assume if its a player option he gets paid even if we cut him. I would have to agree. That's a huge grievance waiting to happen if a team could circumvent a player option by DFAing a player. Otherwise a team could just DFA any player at the very end of a season with an upcoming team unfriendly option.

    I agree that Machado is a pretty good comp. Probably a lower half top 100 type plus some other decent B prospects with upside.
  20. adambr2
    I don't think that people really hold it against a player, but it definitely raises the bar as far as fan expectations, fair or not. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on contracts and valuations in both MLB contracts and NFL contracts but I am totally lost on NBA player valuations. I don't understand at all why someone like Holiday is worth 40M a year when someone like Malcolm Brogdon who is younger and does some things better and some things not as well is "only" worth about half that. I don't get why someone like Brook Lopez goes from making 21M+ a year to suddenly having to settle for 3M in pennies from us at age 30 to back to 13M a year. None of it makes any sense to me at all.

    Jrue is always going to be a lightning rod for criticism because he was, in essence, the last ditch effort of this era to build a championship team around Giannis. Jrue was our all-in, and he's the reason we can't do anything else now -- either spending on free agency or through the draft. Not through any fault of his own, of course. Salary breeds expectations as well. Maybe we do expect too much from Jrue and Middleton, but they've been compensated with the expectation of being the 2 and 3 options on this team. Lopez by comparison doesn't get nearly the compensation but also doesn't carry the fan expectation of carrying this team when Giannis can't.

    Since Torrey Craig started the season with the Bucks and is now on the Suns, he will receive an NBA title ring with any outcome in this series.
  23. adambr2
    It seems incredible that less than 2 weeks ago, there was a short time in which many of our most optimistic hopes for Giannis was that he could return for the playoffs at this time next year in the '21-'22 season.
  24. adambr2
    Home court in the NBA playoffs just seems like an enormous thing. In Brooklyn the whole series was basically just trying to hold serve in your home games and pray to steal one on the road which was fortunately exactly what happened but it took til Game 7.
  25. adambr2
    Ditto, though MLB would be the one that I will watch. Was in the minority, but enjoyed it more when the game mattered (for WS HFA). I'm part of that minority too. I know people thought it was garbage, but I liked that it made the game matter.
