    He did finish it. They had Albers warming, BA and Rock were speculating that he would finish to protect Hader's arm. I should have been more descriptive to those not watching.
  2. adambr2
    I get not wanting to overwork Hader, but man, pulling Hader for Albers in the 9th sure has danger signs all over it.

    I'd have zero sympathy for MLB if draft prospects start bolting for Japan instead. They've been pinching pennies with minor league players for years without any incentive to change or any pressure from the MLBPA. It wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit to see them all start reaping what they've sewn on that.

    This whole "we'll just let Claudio face this one righty because we have lefties coming up after him" mindset has seemed to backfire on us more often than not.
  5. adambr2
    Rock: (Claudio) is tough on righties too. Um, wrong.

    The thing they need to keep in mind is that we only need to play 1 more game in Toronto, and they have to beat us twice. Protect your homecourt, where you've won 81+% of your games this year and can expect a hostile environment for your opponents, and you're moving on. If we can't, Toronto is a more deserving East rep.

    It does seem like it's close to time for the cycle to change and the bats to pick it up while the pitching starts sucking again.

    Not a very high leverage pitch from Guerra.

    So you are saying Shaw would forget how to play 3B for 2020 if he played 2B this year? I'm still going with they were keeping Shaw happy, and they told Moose the situation before he signed, so he knew ahead of time the deal. I believe it's neither and that they just felt better about this defensive configuration going forward.
  10. adambr2
    I don't think moving Moose to 2nd this year as opposed to moving Shaw to 2nd last summer had anything to do with trying to keep Shaw happy.

    Braun has turned into a very streaky hitter. When he's good he's very good, but when he's bad he's very bad. Another K chasing a pitch way out of the zone.

    I definitely admit that's higher than I thought. Personally I would feel quite nervous with a 1 point lead with 8-10 seconds left on the road with the other team having the ball, and somewhat confident with a 1 point deficit at Fiserv in the same situation with our offense having a chance to win. Game 3 is the one that is really going to hurt if we drop the series. That will be the pivotal game, because we had so many chances. If Middleton had his hot shooting Game in Game 3 instead of 4, we're up 3-1. Game 4 we just never really had a chance. Anything remotely resembling a rally was quickly snuffed out. The scary part about Game 4 to me is that Leonard was not all that great. Getting not only beaten but pummeled soundly by Toronto's secondary players was probably not something we felt too concerned about happening.
  13. adambr2
    Is that 68% chance of winning with a 1 pt lead with 8 seconds left assuming the other team has the ball? Because that's a huge difference in situations of course.
  14. adambr2
    I won't be freaking out if they end up losing tomorrow. I'll be resigned to the mindset that we won't be going to the NBA Finals and will be tuned into Game 6 with no expectations at all.

    I'd pass. Aguilar hasn't had a good season and Edwin has, but Aguilar was better in just about every statistical category last year. I'd be very hesitant to assume that both their trends this year continue all season. In any event, if we had the budget flexibility for this kind of move, we surely wouldn't after the move. If we're going to max our payroll out, better to do it in July so we can see what our needs really are first.
  16. adambr2
    Obviously, I'd rather have had him hit the shot, there's many things I would have rather had happen in these last two games, but I felt like the logic here was well explained. In any event, this back and forth isn't productive anymore. Agree to disagree.
  17. adambr2
    It was the same possibly as when he missed since the game still went to OT after that. I was assuming you meant possibly the Raps would lay down in 4 if they lost in 3, possibly they wouldn't. Huh? I don't have the numbers, but I'm safely assuming the odds of winning are better when +1 with 10 seconds left than they are if you're -2. In that moment and in a vacuum, of course. But those aren't the situations to compare. If Middleton hits the 3, Siakim isn't fouled, doesn't miss the two FTs and we don't get the ball back and tie it. The Raptors are down 1 and likely either win or lose on a last shot instead of going to OT. All I'm saying is that the Middleton 3 gets brought up as a pivotal game moment when in reality it probably ended up making little difference. We still had a chance after that and could have and should have put it away in OT. I thought the Giannis block/charge call ended up being much bigger in hindsight.

    You have mentioned this before, but there was 10 seconds left in the game when he put up that shot and would have given us a 1 point lead. No guarantee whatsoever that the Raps don't come down and win it on the final possession. Probably similar chance to winning an OT game which we still had an opportunity to do despite the miss.

    I also think the evidence is also becoming pretty overwhelming that Eric Bledsoe is going to be a guy who can't perform in the playoffs, rather than the guy we saw in the regular season. That's troubling after just extending him. In the short-term, that's been mitigated because Brogdon and Hill have been terrific. Unfortunately, they were not tonight.
  21. adambr2
    Just flip the FT percentages alone and it's a 5 point game instead of 18. We're getting killed at the line. Giannis gets the most attention for it but it's more than him. Brogdon is 30% under his season average in the playoffs. Mirotic, Bledsoe, Ersan, are all giving us 1 for 2. There's a big free throw problem with this team right now.
  22. adambr2
    The best I could see for Dubon is being a Will Smith type reliever headliner. There just isn't a lot of trade value on the farm anymore. Turang is probably our most valuable piece but far too raw to not be trumped by somebody else's better offer for anything significant. Guys like Ray, Erceg, and Lutz could probably bring back a secondary helpful piece. Frankly we probably won't be seeing the ace pitcher type trade proposals that we normally see in July because we simply don't have the arsenal anymore without including some solid MLB talent.
  23. adambr2
    I do believe it (cautiously). This game reminded me a lot of Game 1 against Boston. I expect them to respond the same as they did from that one.
  24. adambr2
    I do wonder how much of the lack of effort is a reflection of this team becoming too laxidasical, if the team started to believe some of the things that were being said. I read an article after Game 2 about the Bucks being a dynasty in the making. I do wonder how much they started hearing, and believing how much better they were. If so, tonight should have been the wakeup call. Here, many of us seemed to have that same attitude after Game 2. This was all over but the crying, and a sweep or gentleman's sweep was inevitable. You'd think we were the 90s Bulls. That's all fine and dandy, fans can believe or say whatever they want, but I wonder how much the team believed it themselves. There's been a real lack of respect for the Raptors in general.
  25. adambr2
    If the Bucks lose on Thursday they are cooked. No doubt. The mulligans are used up. They had the opportunity to basically finish this thing on Tuesday and cruise and they couldn't get it done. Now they have to win a battle.
