Bucks absolutely crumbling down the stretch.
-
No answer for Durant or Green tonight.

Here comes the run...
-
Ten consecutive innings without a hit for the Brewers going back to last night, I believe. It was nine when I first posted that and it’s now 11. Fire Haines again.
-
Unfortunately Castillo seems to have figured things out again. He is just too good to be as bad as he was the first couple months.

I'm really surprised you can say that with that much confidence after the results the last couple seasons. I think in 2019 we seemed to be head and shoulders above the Raptors the first two games who seemed to be running on fumes. Up 2-0 on them there was no good reason to think we weren't going to the NBA Finals and then just like that everything fell apart and we didn't even win another game. I am less worried about the Sixers and Hawks as I am about the Bucks and which Bucks team we would see. At their best the Bucks I believe are the best of those 3 teams but if they played anything like their first 3 games this series they would lose to either. Embiid is gassed, and Atlanta is just not that team. They could beat the Bucks once or twice, not 4/7. This current game however seems too easy...I am not expecting this to continue. I think "they're too gassed to win" was pretty much word for word what we said about the Raps, to be fair. Yeah this is not going to be easy I don't think. Lot of guys in foul trouble isn't going to help. I hope I am wrong but I expect at minimum for the Nets to pull within 5 at some point this game and at least make us sweat. Would love if we cruise of course.

Wot. No.

Just one of those days. We were due for a stinker. Go back out and get em tomorrow.

I think they restructured Tannehill. I can understand your point that this time of year there are a lot of teams up against the cap so even though 22M is very reasonable for Rodgers it's a fairly large number to try to work in. Although as we saw with the Packers being far over recently and still finding a way under even while keeping Aaron Jones, it can be done and any team that wants Aaron Rodgers badly enough is going to find a way. For whatever it's worth, Denver is pretty comfortably under the cap and could take on Rodgers easily without much finangeling.
-
Yep. More than reasonable. Cheap even.

I mean there's a ton of garbage at the back end of the roster, but the top 3 starters are about as good as any in baseball, the back end of the pen is pretty good and Yelich, Narvaez, Adames and a couple others are pretty legit. I don't doubt that CC is doing a fine job but it's not like they're totally void of talent. They are not void of talent but it is surprising given the payroll they have Tim Lopes Hoby Milner Yardley etc on this team. Its not like you expect 25 all stars but man this team is really about 15 deep. The last ten guys are really a drag. The Cain contract is crippling. So is Bradley. Imagine the quality depth you could buy for 30 million dollars. I don't disagree they don't really seem to do very well filling out the back end of the roster. Part of that is not having a very strong farm to provide reinforcements. But there are solid cheap veterans available every year to fill out with like Brad Miller and Asdrubal Cabrera, so I'm not sure why they are scraping the bottom of the barrel on the last few spots on the roster.

Lauer and Yardley gave this game away with walks. Probably not going to be our day.
-
We'll finish the Nets off then lose in about 5 games to Atlanta. That seems about right.
-
I have an appreciation for umpires who don't call a pitch differently when the count is 0-2 or 3-0. That was a good pitch, Joey.
-
A legend and the soundtrack of Milwaukee summer…but sadly it’s tough these days to follow a game on the radio with Ueck on the call Painfully true. He'll work as long as he wants to and rightfully so. But I listen for the fan reaction more to know what's going on than I listen to Uek's reaction.
-
Darn, Uecker's reaction made it sound like that one was going to hit the scoreboard.
-
Lauer is about as unenjoyable as a pitcher can be to watch work. Slow like a Claudio Vargas and nibbles like a Doug Davis.

It's not cap friendly. Sure, year 3 may not be as bad but this year and next are definitely not cap friendly. 40% of the cap tied up in one player is never "very cap friendly." As has been said though, acquiring team would extend/rework the contract anyhow. As I also mentioned those are not even the actual cap hits for an acquiring team. Those quoted hits include the bonus already paid out by the Packers and charged to their cap on a trade, this is NOT absorbed by the cap of a team that trades for him. This is why the Titans have a very reasonable modest remaining deal without guaranteed money for Julio Jones.
-
Why? They're not on the hook for any guaranteed money and the cap hits are extremely modest for a franchise QB. It's a very cap friendly acquisition for an acquiring team. $37MM, $40MM, $28MM the nezt 3 yrs is not "very cap friendly." Those aren't the cap hits for the team that acquires him. Those are the cap hits for the Packers which include the bonuses that are accelerated onto our cap costs if he's traded and are not the responsibility of a team that trades for him.

I thought of that same comparison, but it was surely a much uglier version if it was a version of it. Anyway, I didn't think we'd ever tie this back up again, so it's nice to at least nice to have a series again no matter what happens now.
-
That was a huge 3 by Middleton to not let them take momentum into the 4th.

Thanks for sharing those. I certainly hope you are right and that the return wouldn't suffer much after a year off. I'm still thinking that the time would hurt at his age on his value. I can't think of much precedent even for a 37 year old to return a huge haul, so if it was going to happen I'd rather it happen at 37 than 38 when they have that extra year. The closest comp I can think of in terms of age and recent season performance is actually Brett Favre who only returned us a conditional pick that ended up being a 3rd. I realize we're many years removed from that and it's a different era but giving up a massive haul for a 38 year old QB just seems like something a really dumb GM would do and not many of those are one QB away. I guess it only takes one but I would be surprised if we aren't disappointed with the return. I'm guessing it's a moot point as I don't think the year off scenario is very plausible as I don't think it really benefits either party. Most likely scenario I would think is still that Rodgers reports at some point this summer with him being traded before this season being 2nd.
