    Not sure how that wasn't a 24 second violation, but okay.

    I would have figured to have this sizeable of an early lead, we'd be shooting lights out from 3. Would not have figured to lead by double digits shooting 18%.

    Man, can't ever let this one get away having been up 20. I know 20 can evaporate in one quarter in the NBA, but that would just be backbreaking.
  4. adambr2
    Would have been nice to get something at the end of the 1st and stop the mini run by Atlanta a little bit. Still in good shape. Don't let them back in this one at any point.

    Number I'm looking at right now is 14 rebounds to 7. These guys should be proud of this start...keep it up, don't let off the gas ...

    Moran just went on the IL, so that should lower Pittsburgh's run expectancy for the series by at least 10 runs or so.

    I guess you could say, no one is going to be even remotely shocked if they lose. Even if they lost the next two, is anyone really surprised? So I don't think losing is much of a defining moment. It is definitely a defining moment for Budd. He has been a hotbed of criticism, his gameplans are questionable, he has a reputation for not being able to win in the playoffs, and he is probably on the hot seat if the Bucks don't reach the Finals. He is now in a best of 3 without his superstar with his chance to show that he can adjust to this and that the Bucks are more than just Giannis. The Bucks don't need to be favorites or underdogs for this to be a defining moment for Budd. The rest of this series probably determines his future.

    I guess to each their own but I see Turang being more valuable than Small or Ashby at this point and probably close to the same as Mitchell.

    Any chance of snagging Richard Rodriguez? What an upgrade that would be.

    I think there's definitely something to the theory that Adames numbers were suppressed at Tropicana by, for whatever reason, a lack of ability to see the ball. His home/away splits have normalized since leaving Tampa. His .829 OPS in Milwaukee is almost right in line with his .858 OPS since becoming a Brewer, versus his brutal Tropicana splits. So I think there's reason to believe that Adames could be a little bit better going forward than his career 106 OPS+.

    If this were against the Nets even at 2-2 I would say this is over. However, the Hawks are not the Nets, and they have injuries of their own. Maybe, just maybe they can find a way to hold serve at home and take this in 7 games and who knows, maybe get Giannis back down 2-1 in the Finals with a chance. It all starts with Game 5. Barring Giannis somehow being available for Game 6, Game 5 is a must win. This is a defining game for Mike Budenholzer.

    Most would probably laugh it off…probably not him though. I was going to say, if you're Yelich or Adames, it's probably good for a few laughs, if you're Daniel Robertson, you're probably going to lose some sleep tonight over it.
  13. adambr2
    Probably not a huge confidence booster for a .145 hitting borderline rosterable player to get struck out by Eric Sogard.
  14. adambr2
    They are going to have to start watching Sogard's innings.
  15. adambr2
    Adames!!!!
  16. adambr2
    Good pitch. Not the right battle for Yelich and Haines to pick.
  17. adambr2
    One more time for emphasis. Can't help but feel that the Cubs would have scored 2-3 runs less had the defense helped out a bit. Why? It's done. Enjoy what is happening now. I think one can make this observation and enjoy what is happening now simultaneously.

    One of my earliest Brewer memories as a young boy was playing out in the backyard all afternoon and listening to the entire game on the radio in which the Brewers rallied from down 7-0 to beat the California Angels, 20 to 7.
  19. adambr2
    Man. Starting to get interesting.

    The guys who suggested that maybe the Brewers saw something with Burnes' recent starts to suggest he could be more effective on 5 days rest versus 4 bring up a solid theory that I hadn't considered. If the extra day makes a big difference in Burnes' performance, I can understand it's worth it. I appreciate the thought and logic rather than just being told that I'm beating a dead horse or will be mad when our starters are injured because of excessive workload next year. I am not naive to the fact that this is generally a well-managed team, and I understand that there are certain intracies with the team that we can't know. I just like to try to dig into the rationale of decisions that I don't understand.

    Keston picked a bad time to go back to whiffing on middle/middle meatballs.
  22. adambr2
    Salami from Hiura would be nice right now
  23. adambr2
    I totally get the need for load management. I am just trying to understand why the Burnes start couldn't have been today against the Cubs and the bullpen day tomorrow against the Pirates. That is all.
  24. adambr2
    So yes, I absolutely agree with all of this, and when many people were upset when Burnes got COVID-19 earlier this year I actually shrugged and said they're going to have to manage his workload in various ways this year anyway. Again, he's starting tomorrow. What difference does it make to his long-term workload if he started today against the Cubs or tomorrow against the Pirates?
  25. adambr2
    Does a win against the Cubs in June really mean that much more than one against the Pirates, though? Perhaps to us fans as a rivalry game it does, but in the scheme of the final season standings, I don't know if it is a huge thing. I didn't see the decision to start Ashby today as a give-away to the Cubs. He's a legit MLB-caliber arm. Pretty obvious that he isn't ready yet based on today's results, but it isn't like the Brewers went into the game today with the predetermined decision to hand it to the Cubs. They obviously hoped their top pitching prospect would be good enough to make it through a couple innings. It didn't happen. That's baseball. Yes, it does. The Pirates have no chance of finishing ahead of us in the standings. The Cubs do. A Brewer win is a Brewer win regardless of who its against, but a Cub loss is considerably more valuable to us than a Pirate loss.
