Brook and Bledsoe are killing us.
-
We're done. Start making some damn shots and get to 100.
-
Marvin Williams looks like he's going to be a nice part of the rotation, if nothing else tonight.
-
Back to double digits. Bledsoe is a cool -19 tonight.
-
Incredibly they have whittled it back to 5 early in the 4th. 100 looks like it'll be really, really close.
-
This is normally a very good team without Giannis, but they are absolutely putrid tonight. Bledsoe in particular is playing like it's a playoff game, and in his case that is not a compliment. The loss is almost a given already, and the 100 point streak is in serious danger. Hopefully they can at least get to 40-45 by half to keep that in play.

I think I've seen enough of Sterling Brown.
-
Is Toronto really as good as their record which would hypothetically make them a pretty legitimate threat in the East? I thought they would drop at least to the 5-6 seed area this year after losing Leonard. I'm shocked to see them in Lakers territory record wise.
-
As a baseball fan I hate the continual watering down of the playoff field sucks. As a Brewer fan I actually think this is a really good thing for us and should help give small markets more of a shot. This is perfectly suited for the upper middle teams like us that should win around 85 a year or so depending on luck. Should really give us a chance to become a perennial playoff team.

Altuve was a great hitter before all this stuff. OPS around .850 from 14-16. Bregman's worst full MLB season was actually 2017, the year this all happened. It's not like their "cheating" years were outliers from the rest of their career. 2017 was Bergman's first full season. It was also happening in 2018. And just because MLB didn't find evidence of it happening in 2019 doesn't mean it wasn't.
-
I will be interested to follow the stat lines of Astro hitters this year, specifically guys like Bregman and Altuve. I think any notable drop in offensive performance should be absolutely held under the microscope. I would be very wary at best of trading for any position player from the Astros for the next several years.
-
Twins have pulled out of the trade.
-
All things equal, it should really have been Thanasis. But Dragan Bender isn't worth pissing Giannis off.
-
He's a solid defender and can shoot the 3. It's a lot better than losing Christian Wood for Tim Frazier.
-
Macha was the opposite of Roenicke. He was smart and fairly strategic, but he couldn't relate to his players. Earning respect from your players is part of the job description. If you can't do it, you're not going to get through to them on much. Counsell is not perfect, but for the most part he is the best of both worlds.
-
Roenicke was a good manager as far as leadership and earning player respect, as opposed to Macha, but strategy-wise he seemed to be winging it. He overdid smallball to a fault, seemed intent on reserving relievers for specific innings, and had circles managed around him in the NLCS by TLR.

I think I explained that Braun had two lost seasons due to injury and suspension. They happened to be 2013 and 2014 so I left them out. To your point, Braun wasn’t paid during his suspension so whatever he did get paid in 2013 was a bargain for 2.0 across 60+ games. 2014 it’s fairly well documented he had a nerve injury in his hand and was playing through it, like Cain in ‘19 at far less than 100%. He still had 580 plate appearances in 2014. The production still counts for what it is. It can be noted that he played through an injury, but just like Cain last year, that production still affected our overall team performance and can't just be disregard.
-
Better offense in the first half. This game would be a blowout if we could hit a 3 to save our life. I'm glad that our franchise player isn't an out of shape big guy who looks like he could go Greg Oden on us at any time.
-
I don't know what it is about playing Philly with these guys but that was an absolutely hideous first quarter.
-
If you're one of many that just needs TV for Wisconsin sports, you're almost better off living out of market. If I didn't live in Wisconsin, I'd just pay $122 a year for MLB TV, get a decent outdoor antenna installed for CBS, FOX, and NBC football games, and Reddit the few Packer games I can't get doing that.

More likely 5 or less teams will be bidding for him. Many will want him, few will fork out $350+ mil for any player. In addition, many high payroll teams don’t exactly have super flexible contracts. Let this thought simmer for a few minutes: - Mookie wants to test free agency but his targeted cost should limit the number of suitors. - Being that LAD acquired him now, they would be able to extend a QO to Betts after the season. - Common reasoning is Mookie declines it and tests the market starting November 2020. What if Mookie accepts the QO (like Ryu did after 2018)?? - Yes it limits his earnings for 2021 but the current CBA expires after the 2021 season. The entire free agent landscape could look different after a new CBA is agreed to & he might have more suitors/ flexibility. One downside is other players (like Lindor/ Kris Bryant) are also set to be free agents after the 2021 season. Should Mookie be in a rush to sign a long-term extension or free agent deal?? IMHO its not cut & dried due to the CBA aspect. It will be interesting to watch & see how it plays out.. There is a zero, absolutely 0% chance that Mookie Betts accepts a QO. If he really wants a 1 year deal to re-enter FA under the new CBA, there are at least 10 teams that would give him 1 year/$35M without thinking twice. He wouldn't need to settle for half that. Or he can probably get a long-term deal with numerous opt outs.
-
If they're not going to retain him anyway, it's not a bad deal for Boston. Alex Verdugo is a darn good headliner for any 1 year rental.
-
Pfft, big deal. We got Ryon Healy and Justin Smoak.
-
Is that through Spectrum Mobile?
-
Not that I know this, I've just heard (*cough*), but Hulu Live is shareable with the unlimited screens plan. There's a catch, though, they have to be in the same zip code.
