This is basically doing the Anthony Rendon contract only also giving up our best prospects to do it. It's just not happening.

I'd have to trust you on that, then, I had Sling before that so I guess that must be different now. That sucks. I would never consider any provider that couldn't get me the Brewers. Unless I lived out of market and could just get MLBTV or Extra innings. I'm happy with Hulu Live but I've never had YouTube TV so I couldn't compare. I can't believe Dish would be willing to play with that kind of fire. You're already in a super competitive industry with many other similar platforms, and millions of viewers literally do not care about anything other than regional sports. Good luck with that.

Sling does not have FS Wisconsin. Yes they do. I had Sling. It's just not in their Orange package. That said, Sling sucks. I've been much happier with Hulu Live. But if you're looking for something cheaper and don't care about ESPN but need Brewer and Bucks games, Sling Blue gets the job done. I usually used the FSGO app with my Sling login because the feed on Sling wasn't good.

Maybe I am not interpreting the context of his words correctly. It bothers me a lot that this team went out to California to play a football game three times this year and each of the three times they did not remotely resemble a professional football team. But this one certainly most of all.

https://sports.yahoo.com/za-darius-smith-didn-t-202111112.html #1, if you simply got your ass kicked, just say so. Anything else comes off like an excuse if you simply got overmatched. #2, if this is actually true and you simply didn't show up ready to play, this is unacceptable on an unfathomable level. YOU ARE LITERALLY PLAYING A QUALIFYING GAME FOR THE SUPER BOWL. It is the pinnacle of your very profession. On top of that, YOU LITERALLY TOLD ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN THAT IF YOU PLAYED THE 49ERS AGAIN YOU WOULD BE READY. I'm just blown away that one of the leaders of the defense can come out and say not only was the team not ready for this game, but he individually was not ready for it. The Charger game was your one mulligan to say "We didn't show up today" and get to shrug it off and say it happens. Not the mother loving NFC championship game. Is the leadership and individual accountability on this team really this bad? What kind of incentive exactly do these 53 men need to go and lay it all out on the field for 3 hours in the biggest game of their lives?

Yeah no one is freaking out about Giannis. I think he will stay, but I, too, won't be convinced of its certainty until he signs. I can think of plenty of reasons to believe he will stay, but let's be realistic, we've seen enough of NBA stars and the people they surround themselves with to know that they can be entirely unpredictable and there is greater than a 0% chance that he leaves. Accepting that reality isn't synonymous with freaking out. The "r-e-l-a-x" posts would be much better saved for the start of next season if he hasn't signed yet and people are already talking about how we're going to be a 30 win team again in '21-'22.
-
I think that's a good point. I don't think he's going anywhere because it's going to be really hard for anybody to pass up the certainty of $250 million this offseason when he's offered the supermax that only MKE can offer. I mean, it's kind of stupid to do it, honestly. But we just don't know. I don't take athletes at their word. I just don't know how much the supermax offer is really a factor, as crazy as it sounds. Unlike other sports where guys just usually go to the highest bidder, money seems to be less of a factor in the NBA. I'm guessing that's part of the design of why we can offer more than anyone else because if we couldn't we'd never have a shot at keeping these guys. But having the ability to offer Giannis 5/250 when no one else can just isn't the leverage that you would think it would be. I don't know enough to quantify what income a star like Giannis can make outside the NBA, but my own guess is that if he really wanted to go to New York or LA and build his own brand and get into endorsements, he's not going to come out behind. I have absolutely no idea what Giannis is thinking. I would think if he's sold on staying, he's going to sign it right away in July when it's offered. I think if he declines to sign it and speaks of wanting to wait to sign anything until he hits free agency, he's as good as gone.

The Brewer fans you have seen in favor of this probably did so after seeing their ace pitcher's career ended from batting and falling one game short of the WS next season, among other pitcher injuries. I don't really buy that it puts small market teams at a big disadvantage. Who are these big DH only players that AL teams are forking over big money for? Martinez, Cruz? Most times DH just becomes a default spot for your worst fielder. Teams aren't really investing in guys that can't play anywhere. The Twins, A's, Rays and Royals have all had success in the AL to varying degrees this last decade despite the continuing presence of the DH.
-
I'm all for it. It would be nice to still also have an avenue to keep Hiura in the lineup every day in 2021 if his glove doesn't make strides this year.

I'm absolutely not going to criticize him for deciding to travel in a way that enhanced his quality of life. People make decisions that may add risk in a way that enhances their quality of life every day. I'm sure he considered the risks and didn't just up and decide to do it one day without considering the risks. If he felt the time he saved with his family was worth the additional risk I'm not going to say otherwise. That's a personal decision. The pilot in this instance was highly experienced with absolutely no safety red flags whatsoever. Most likely he made a bad decision in the heat of the moment because no matter what precautions you take he was still a human and as such can be prone to making a bad decision. Again, we all make decisions to enhance our quality of life. I work in a manufacturing facility which comes with some dangers. I could easily find a desk job with the same company for less money. But I keep my job and the risks to make more money and get more vacation and enhance my family's quality of life. I don't believe we should avoid all risky decisions and wrap ourselves in bubble wrap and stay home to avoid decisions that enhance our quality of life. I think we should just try to do those things as safely as we possibly can. I understand the risks and I try to consider them in every decision I make and mitigate the risks as much as possible. But that's all I can do. Something could still happen.

Jeremy Jeffress signs with Cubs - 1 year, $850K
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Disappointing contract for JJ I'm sure, but he's still got time in his career to rebound. Hopefully he can get back to 2018 form and put himself in line for a nice raise before 2021. Cub or not I'll be cheering for him when he isn't pitching against us. -
Bucks lost 2 games in October, 1 in November, 2 in December, and with one game left to play, 1 game in January.
-
What a game by Middleton.
-
Officials in this game have been craptastic.
-
Blowing a 30+ home lead against the Wizards on the same night that we set a 1st half franchise record for points would be about an obnoxious of a loss as possible. Make a run, please.
-
It's a good night for our jumpers to be falling without Giannis, because Washington cannot miss a 3.
-
Yeah they said NBA record at halftime. They must have meant franchise record.
-
Awesome half, but 88 is not an NBA record. Not sure what they're talking about. It's up there, though.
-
If nothing else it should serve as a sobering reminder to all of us. Whether it be flying in bad weather, rushing to get to work in time, trying to reply to that text while driving, taking an unnecessary risk at work, driving drunk... It's never worth your life. Ever. Just wait.
-
I understand the gagging over giving away a huge return for him like the Pirates did, but buying low on a guy like Archer now if it costs next to nothing is exactly the type of move we should be making.
-
They have added more than enough firepower to make up 15 games. The middle of their order is the best in the division and on paper their rotation is the equal of Cardinals for the best They're clearly the favorite. They don't have 15 games to make up. They start 0-0 like everybody else. Again, Castellanos has a career 113 OPS+. Moustakas, 101+. You'd think they signed Rendon and traded for Mookie Betts by how the Reds are being talked about. It was not an offseason contest to see who could spend the most money.
-
Sorry, I'm not seeing it with the Reds. They made some nice supplementary additions (assuming they add Castellanos too), but too many are looking at their additions from a dollar amount perspective rather than what these guys really are for their career. Moose and Castellanos are nice guys to have in your lineup. They aren't guys you build your lineup around. Blind test, the following five guys have a career OPS+ of 113, 101, 104, 104 and 104. Who are they? In that order, Nick Castellanos, Mike Moustakas, Justin Smoak, Avasail Garcia, Ryon Healy. So what's the big deal with the first two guys other than name? They're surely not being signed for defense, at least certainly not if Moose is going to play 2nd. They may have one of the worst defenses in baseball. Their rotation should be solid, but that was true last year. I think they may see some regression in their pitching, if anything. They're still lacking for star power. I'll take Yelich and Hiura over anyone in their lineup.
-
Which begs the question, is there anything the Bucks really need to do at the deadline? Their bench, as assembled, is almost the perfect mix. There isn't a lot they can improve. Probably the best they could do is upgrade from Connaughton and replace his minutes with someone like Bogdanovic, but at what cost? Bogdan is going to be a hot commodity at the deadline if available. I think the Bucks will be happy with a quiet deadline...and hope for that out of their rivals too. Seeing the 6ers or C's pull off a blockbuster is probably worst case scenario.

Overrated.

Misc. Offseason Brewers Prospect Rankings
adambr2 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Bello and Gray and 19, and Lemons just turned 21. Probably a little early to dig the graves on their careers. Never said I was. But Lemons has almost 3 professional years under his belt and all of 34 innings to show for it. And while Gray and Bello may be 19, it's not a great sign to see them overmatched in Rookie ball. But they have a lot of time left. Lemons is probably getting close to the end, actually. Age aside he probably needs to make some strides in 2020 to be stuck with much longer. My point was they really haven't gotten much out of their post 1st talent lately aside from Corbin Burnes.
