I hear this all the time after a Bucks game. "Oh he'll never go off like that again." But yet they do. Maybe our defense isn't all it is cracked up to be.
I think we probably will be either way. I thought we probably would against Miami last year. I thought we certainly would never drop 4 straight up 2-0 in the ECF in 2019. So what do I really know. I'd feel a LOT better with a win today. Don't want to be one upset away from heading onto the road down 2-0.
I mean... if they wanna dunk all over the Hawks tonight, I'm good with that. Right. It was a nice quarter. It would just be a double digit lead if they were hitting their shots.
His offense of course not. I do find criticisms of his defense comical however and that's where this started. Edit: I don't think I'd predict he'll win another gold glove but he doesn't need to win one to be considered a plus defender. I wouldn't call any of the OFs lacking on defense, JBJ's few miscues stick out only because he's a lightning rod for his offensive underachievement. I didn't claim he was a poor defender. I said I've seen him take a ton of bad first steps.
The Brewers should feel validated that when teams asked about the price for Hader and then scoffed and said he's not worth that, they shrugged and said, "Okay, we'll keep him."
For a guy who bats like a buck fifty and has people constantly raving about his defense, I have seen more bad first steps in the outfield from JBJ than any other outfielder on our team.
