I'd go McKinnon over Watkins for sure. Watkins is so hit and miss. McKinnon has been returning pretty good value with or without Mostert in the lineup.

I think you are good if you are waiting on KC/NE. All NE tests came back negative now so it sounds like it's a go for Monday night. For any COVID-19 game uncertainties, my strategy this year is to only hold out for studs. If I have two guys who are close and one of them is in limbo, that breaks the tie. Example, would normally be starting Julian Edelman this week, but him and Robby Anderson are close so I'm just starting Robby out of an abundance of caution rather than risk an empty spot over two guys who are close to a wash.

I think it's also fair to note that it's much, much harder to make up NFL games than it is to have multiple 7-inning double headers in baseball. You basically have to have two teams find room in their schedule and extend their season by a week. One game is probably doable, but if a team has to juggle now and again due to positive tests in November, that team is going to be a logistical nightmare for the league. I'm not saying that this isn't going to cause some difficulties. But frankly, I'm surprised they made it all the way to Week 4 before a game had to be moved. It's gone about as well as I had hoped for. All I'm saying is, there are a lot of contingencies that can and will be put into place before the "Cancel Season" button gets pushed. That is their absolute last resort. The NFL has had months to prepare for all possible scenarios and put contingencies in place, they did not go into this just crossing their fingers and hoping for the best. It's possible the Super Bowl gets pushed back. It's possible some teams play less than 16 games. It's possible that the season gets "paused" at some point and the schedule gets reconfigured to 10-12 games. No doubt they have guys specifically monitoring everything who know the schedule in and out and have numerous possible avenues on the table. The only way I think the season just gets flat out cancelled is if numerous states start issuing stay at home orders again and I just don't think that is going to happen.

Converting him to a WR. Seriously though, highly doubtful they'd carry 2 kickers just to have one for kickoffs. Possible Crosby is nicked up, more likely just due diligence/updating emergency lists.

Is 2020 Braun’s last year in Milwaukee?
adambr2 replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
That says more about the roster than it does about a 37 year old who cannot stay healthy. Yes, it does. Braun's bat was average at best in 2020 and he still has trouble staying on the field. That .281 OBP is not something you're going to pay $11M for. He hit better than most of his teammates, but that was not saying much in 2020. Zero chance they exercise his option. Does anyone really think Braun would get $11M a year as a free agent right now? Some chance that he's back on a smaller deal. We don't have better options knocking down the door right now. -
They said the same thing about baseball a week into the season. In fact, I think people were a lot less optimistic than 50/50. There's way too much money on the line for them not to see this through all the way, and they will. If they have to push the Super Bowl back to March, it gets pushed back to March. These are not unexpected developments. This was never going to go perfectly.
-
Agreed. Or just can it altogether. They have done plenty of years with just one week between conference championships and the Super Bowl rather than two, so pushing everything back a week shouldn't affect the Super Bowl.
-
I remember Rodgers' early days quite differently. Seems like he spent a great deal of time running for his life the first few years. I still recall the Allen Barbre disaster of 2009. While I'm just going off memory, it didn't feel like it was until about 5-7 years ago that the offensive line play here started to stabilize. At least for this era.

Zero bunts this year with a dreadful O? how many tight games ?
adambr2 replied to Gorman19's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This team had a historically bad batting average. Doesn't do much good to successfully bunt runners into scoring position if you can't cash them in. I think the reason the offense sucked has probably a lot to do with having 9 guys who hit pretty lousy and nothing to do with not giving away enough outs. -
1 run per game in the playoffs on average. No big surprise.
-
That hug between Counsell and Sogard is going to be uncomfortably long tonight.
-
His body language has completely sucked today.
-
Nothing is more important for the future of this club than where Christian Yelich goes from here. If this season turns out to be a sign of genuine decline rather than a total fluke, the contract that we signed him to will be an absolute catastrophe for this franchise.
-
As much as people want to give this 4 or 5 years to judge it, I'm guessing if Stearns was offered a refund on it right now, he'd jump on it.
-
Nevermind, Urias sucks.
-
Amazing, one of our hitters figured out that even if he hits a 600 foot homerun we'll still be down 3-1, so why not try to get on base?
-
Announcers already saying, "Dodgers will face the winner of Padres/Cardinals". I guess they've seen the Brewers play this year.
-
I hope they don't try to spin this as a successful season because they made the playoffs. That was nothing but circumstantial, this team went 29-33 and frankly performed well under that record. For a couple of individuals, namely Corbin Burnes and Devin Williams, this was a successful season, but this was not a successful team season and there is nothing to celebrate. They have a lot of work to do and if they try to just chalk it up to a weird season they're probably going to be disappointed again in 2021.
-
Yeah, agreed. That would piss me off too. It was indeed a ball, but it's a call Kershaw has been getting.
-
Yelich is really pissing me off tonight. No urgency getting the ball back in on the Betts double, doesn't run out a dropped 3rd strike, and then minutes later he's just grinning over in the dugout. You're the leader of the damn team. If you've checked out, so will everyone else.
-
Honestly, on Mookie's double, Yelich barely looked like he cared getting that ball back in.
-
You're about 61 games and 5 innings too late in using Hader in a flexible role, Craig. It doesn't matter now.
-
Might? Well, I said that when it was 1-0
-
This series was almost like an AAA team against an MLB team. I can't imagine there was a matchup in MLB history with more of a talent disparity between the teams. You've got a lot of work to do David, and I hope you do a lot better job than you did last offseason.
