    I suspect you will be highly critical next year when the Big Three all have arm injuries because the manager rode them particularly hard in 2021. Yeah, you're wrong. I've mentioned numerous times the importance of protecting the innings and arms from our staff and even been on record saying Counsell does a good job of that. The long plan wouldn't have been blown up with Burnes on the mound today instead of tomorrow.

    This is really reaching. The decision to put off Burnes until the Pirate game on Thursday was made before this series even started. The idea that they knew last week that Burnes had something going on that would make him unavailable on Wednesday but good to go by Thursday is a pretty enormous stretch. Burnes could have started today. These are contradictory statements. Yeah, it would have been Burnes on 5 days rest. But if the decision was already made, it was already made. He was never gonna start today. They are not contradictory at all. Just because Burnes was never going to start today by Counsell's decision doesn't mean he couldn't have.

    Incredible to just basically give away a game against the team chasing you in the standings.

    He's missed maybe one borderline call. Ashby has mostly done this to himself with the "help" of his defense. What a disastrous debut.

    The decision not to start Burnes today will forever be puzzling. They have the rest of the season to be conservative with their pitching staff, today against this opponent wasn't the day for it. They could have easily went to Burnes today and did a bullpen outing next. I don't know if Counsell overthought it or got too cute, but it's definitely one you look back on and ask why if you lose the division to the Cubs by a game.

    135 ERA. That's pretty far up there for a calculatable ERA.

    I'm not saying Ashby won't go on to have a fine MLB career but the expectations for guys like him and Small and Kelly are wayyyyyy out of whack. Some see these guys as untouchable because of the success of guys like Woodruff and Hader and Burnes and Peralta. We've really been spoiled by these guys. The reality is that it's unlikely that any of the current crop of our pitching prospects ever reach the level of success of any of those 4.

    Well this is not an ideal start.

    They pretty much built this team in the image that Giannis wanted. I don't think you can start making major structural changes without him looking for a ticket out of town, either.
  11. adambr2
    They aren't bad enough to tank next year without Giannis. They are probably a low 7/8 seed or just outside looking in team without him. Depending on the severity of the ACL tear and how rehab goes, there is a chance they could try to sneak in next year and possibly get him back sometime during the playoffs.
  12. adambr2
    Hopefully Lobaton is okay. Kind of felt dirty to sit around high fiving while he's writhing around on the ground in pain.
  13. adambr2
    At the very least I now expect this series to go 7 knowing no other information. The good news is they still have to win another game in Milwaukee. Hopefully we can hold serve. That Game 1 loss really hurts now.
  14. adambr2
    Pretty much have to win Game 5, Giannis or no Giannis. If they drop Game 5 and Giannis isn't expected back for 6 or 7 I think it's over.
  15. adambr2
    Us 2 hours ago: "No Trae Young tonight even? Wow, Hawks are pretty toast." Us now: "Whoops nope, I guess we are." Never assume/take anything for granted. Especially with a Wisconsin sports team.

    I could see us still figuring it out without Giannis, not a great chance, but a chance with the last 2/3 at home, and a hobbled Young. But that would mean Giannis is seriously hurt, so the Finals would be a waste of time. Maybe if Young doesn't play again either. We'll lose the Final, but I'd still rather at least get there than not and have that experience for us.
  18. adambr2
    To be clear about Game 4 though, the Giannis injury did not cost us this game. Taking this game for granted and coming out flat for an entire half cost us this game. If we played to our abilities in the first half, we would be able to sustain 18 minutes without Giannis against an also wounded Hawk team. Absolutely nobody to blame but ourselves if we end up losing this series because we took it for granted and did not do anything to take control of it when we had a chance.
  19. adambr2
    Pretty sure we're going to lose this series in 6 games if Giannis doesn't play again.
  20. adambr2
    No heart from this team. If any Bucks fans thought they were just going to be inspired by seeing their leader go down and start rallying, the team wanted to put that idea out of your mind quickly.
  21. adambr2
    If that hasn't played like total dog crap in the first half and were in a position to win this and go up 3-1, they'd still at least have a shot at getting to the dance. Doubt they get there at 2-2 without Giannis.
  22. adambr2
    Should I bump the thread now, or wait til we get knocked out?
  23. adambr2
    I would never be so arrogant to believe I can do any basketball related thing better than any basketball player, much less a star. But it really is not that difficult to at least get rim on a free throw.
  24. adambr2
    Is it? All the fans are operating under the assumption that the series is already won. Wouldn't be surprised if the players came in with the same overconfidence.
  25. adambr2
    Giannis adds the cherry on top to this half.
