    Bump. great call. Sounds like they tore up his '22 team and '23 mutual options in this extension Never heard that Yelich had a mutual option in '23. If so it never had any chance of being exercised anyway.
  2. adambr2
    I don't disagree but contracts like these just can't be compared to guys who actually make it to the market like Rendon. Yelich is (was) still 3 years out from free agency, so these almost always look team friendly in comparison as the player needs to give that because of the risk the team assumed giving money that far out from free agency.

    I understand all this. I'd still like to see us take the March 16th game and not have this in their heads in the playoffs.

    To be fair, they also beat us when they shot 36% from 3 and we shot 31.5%. I'm not saying they have our number...but if we lose to them again in 2 weeks and face them in the semis...I think having lost to them 0-3 in the regular season would definitely be hanging there in the back of our head.

    I still think we beat Miami in a 7 game playoff series, but being 0-2 against them is concerning. I can't even imagine the disappointment and fallout if this team got bounced in the conference semis.

    Someone other than Giannis or Middleton needs to show up for work one of these games.

    I don't think anyone is missing that. It's also a positive as well as being a negative. People are walking around infecting others without knowing because in most cases COVID-19 the symptoms are very minor. I don't know what's not being done that you feel should be done. I think everyone agrees we should try to minimize fatalities. We're passed the point of minimizing spread. It's going to spread. We can't shut down and quarantine the world. People have to do the basics like they do to prevent the spread of anything else -- wash your hands, don't touch your face, etc. etc. That's all private citizens can do. But locking yourself in your home with a mask on if you're perfectly healthy, is not the answer. Live your life. We have to deal with the likelihood that this will be an ongoing issue and likely strike seasonally like many other conditions this time of year. As we learn more, hopefully vaccines will be developed and we'll be in a better position to deal with this in the future. And hopefully we'll get some seasonal benefit in the summer to slow things down and buy more time to better handle COVID-19 when this comes around again next year.

    In August of 2017, Jimmy Nelson was a pitcher in his late 20s having a huge breakout season and was the unquestioned ace of the Brewers staff. Now, it's legitimately questionable if he will ever pitch in the big leagues again. Stuff happens, probably moreso to pitchers than anyone else. Every guy is different. Maybe Woodruff is hoping to break the bank in arbitration, or maybe if he had $20M in guaranteed money on the table today he'd sign it in a second and never worry about money again. Couldn't fault him for it either way.

    Hornets staying close was the Bucks best shot to still hit 100, but they're not.
  10. adambr2
    Unless this game goes into overtime, the 100 point streak is history.
  11. adambr2
    Aside from one game, George Hill just hasn't been the same glue guy since returning from his injury. Outside of Giannis they are really shooting poorly today.
  12. adambr2
    I don't think there's any real reason to believe that that's going to happen.
  13. adambr2
    I honestly think his defensive fall off is a perception creation. Fgraphs has him pretty level across his years. Your defense looks worse when you can't hit a lick. Every defensive error is magnified because that's the only positive you have to offer. Well it wasn't just the fans. Counsell himself was very critical of Arcia's defense last year and said it wasn't at an acceptable level. It was the big reason he got benched for Saladino at one point. So I don't think it's solely a misconception or anything.

    If I'm drinking the kool-aid on anyone's spring performance, it's Freddy Peralta.
  15. adambr2
    What do you mean you're the skeptical one? I don't see anyone thinking that he's figured it out finally. It's certainly fun to be optimistic, though, especially in February. I think that's where most people are at. I guess maybe I'm more pessimistic on Arcia than most is what I'm saying because I feel like I've gotten excited and then let down more times than I care to count. It would be fantastic if there is something there, of course. Can never have too many options for SS.
  16. adambr2
    Sorry to be the skeptical one, but we've been down this road with Arcia before. He's got over 1500 not very good ABs at the big league level. It's going to take a lot more than a few spring training ABs to convince me that anything has changed. Let's see how he does in April when pitchers are no longer working on location and throwing more than a vanilla fastball arsenal at him.

    Bucks have no more than 2 losses in any month (2 in October, 1 in November, 2 in December, 2 in January, 1 in February). The remaining road schedule is absolutely brutal. They go to Miami, LA Lakers, Denver, Dallas, Toronto, Boston, and Philly. If they can get through that gauntlet at 5-2 or better I'll be very pleased.

    The WHO cites the coronavirus fatality rate at 0.7% outside of Wuhan. The other positive thing is that it isn't killing children, whatsoever. The vast majority of the people who die from it have an existing condition that is exacerbated by the virus, such as cancer. Like most inflections and the flu, if you are an otherwise healthy individual who is infected with COVID-19, you are incredibly likely to survive it and fully recover. I imagine that once medical experts have a better understanding of the disease, the fatality rate will continue to fall. Vaccines are being developed. As with all outbreaks, this one will eventually be resolved. COVID-19 could be eradicated, or it could become as common as a cold and we will deal with that possibility if it happens, like we do with all already existing contagious diseases. Either way, society will go on. What Snapper says holds true. What can be done is being done. It's great to be prepared. But panic and hysteria will solve nothing.

    That was a huge road win. Would have been such a shame for Trice to have such a great game and end up blowing the game on two front end 1 and 1 misses in the last minute.

    At this point, I've got to assume Sinclair's pricing is getting out of control. Whatever the case may be, they'll continue to point the finger at each other all the while it's the consumer that's being punished. Glad I have Hulu Live.
  21. adambr2
    Agreed with TPlush. Woodruff is already controlled until he's 32. Really zero reason to do anything long-term with him unless you think you can buy out his arbitration years at a discount. He's actually a better fit to go year to year with.
  22. adambr2
    If he merely becomes a solid reliever out of the bullpen, this is highway robbery. I guess that depends what you mean by a solid reliever. There are plenty of solid relievers with a market well under 7.5M per season. If he becomes an elite reliever or solid starter then it could wind up highway robbery.

    Happy for Freddy and his family. Life changing money at 23!

    If the Raptors can't beat the Bucks in Toronto when the Bucks are on the 2nd of a back to back and got 15 combined from Giannis and Middleton in the first half, they should be very worried.
  25. adambr2
    Anticipating a loss for a 49-8 team is almost impossible, but it is really tough to see a win tonight. A road back to back following a grueling overtime game against a hot and really good Raptor team. But, you never know. Giannis could bounce back in a big way from Washington and blow up tonight.
