    I've got to hand it to playoff Middleton. He seems to be the one guy on the roster that elevates his game in the postseason.

    Giannis, man. Absolute worst case scenario for us is for the MVP to play like this. He's got nothing, and he's killing us. They've got to calm him down, he's out of control, too amped, playing like a spaz and it's killing us. And Bledsoe is doing absolutely nothing to shake his reputation as a playoff choker. We are very fortunate Kyrie has been so cold so far. Only a 5 point game, buf frankly this team just looks like it can't handle the big moment.

    Whoever called Jesus starting and Thames in the OF today nailed it.

    Why would he do this though? He already made a deal to pay him his worth further down the road. It’d take paying him even more money to do this. On top of that, we're very close to the light at the end of the tunnel. In terms of the contract on the books, this year is already paid out unless you think that Braun's salary will inhibit a midseason acquisition. Next year it goes down and is the final guaranteed year. Then a buyout year, which will be interesting. I can't imagine he's worth anywhere near $15 million, but $4 of it is already a sunk cost in the buyout and Mark will probably fear the optics of buying out Braun. The optics? Even the casual fan can see his performance declining significantly. I think the optics of paying a net $11M to burn a roster spot on a replacement level player would be much worse. 2020 is his last year as a Brewer, IMO. Barring some sort of amazing late career resurgence, no way is his 2021 option getting picked up.

    I'm not worried. If they lose Game 2, yeah. I will be. Right now they just lost one of the two games I thought they'd lose initially. The order of the games doesn't matter to me. There was a 20% FG differential and the Bucks were still in it for big portions of the game. I only have one game to judge so that doesn't concern me yet. I pretty much expected 1-1 after the first 2 as well. The problem with this line of thinking though, is that Game 1 is already lost, Game 2 is not won. We can't assume a win in Game 2 just because we lost Game 1. I am concerned less that they lost and more that they were thoroughly dominated. I can't really agree with your assessment that they were in it for big portions of the game. Boston dominated from the start, the Bucks made a nice run near the end of the 2nd and it was then close up until a couple minutes into the 3rd quarter and after that it remained one sided for the rest of the game.

    Someone started a thread on Braun being DFAed last year and was just ridiculed for it. He's not going to be DFAed, but it doesn't sound nearly as ridiculous anymore.
  7. adambr2
    Exactly. Do people realize Thames actually had a higher OPS than Moose last year, even though it seems widely believed that Moose was good and Thames was garbage in 2018? I am not saying Thames is anything special, but I can't for the life of me understand why people want to kick Thames to the curb and in the same argument want to give Moose a multi-year extension.
  8. adambr2
    Whatever happens in Game 2, I'm glad they play again Tuesday. 2 off days is too long to sit on this one.
  9. adambr2
    When ready, put Jimmy back in the rotation. Dump Wilson, dump Wilkerson, option Barnes. Just stick Woodruff, Burnes and Peralta back in the pen as 2-3 inning guys, be done with it and figure out their futures later. I realize I'm going to get roasted for this.
  10. adambr2
    THAT is the question I would ask as well. Dump jesus and Thames, play Shaw at 3B, Arcia at SS, Hiura at 2B, and Moose at 1B if that is at all a possibility. Or Moose stays at 3B and Shaw moves to 1B, which ever makes us better. Dump Thames? Just like DFA him? He's the 2nd best hitter on the team so far this year, he hits for power, and his salary is already on the books for 2019. Why would we do that?
  11. adambr2
    I'll add that the rotations tonight were horrendous. We're not going to win these games the same way we won in the regular season, and I do find it concerning that Coach Budd doesn't seem to recognize the difference, as good of a regular season coach as he was.
  12. adambr2
    Aaron Wilkerson is so far overdue to be Designated for Assignment.
  13. adambr2
    I think Game 2 is enormous, yes. I think a 2-0 hole going on the road is too much to dig out of. Even if you steal one in Boston after that, 3-1 is a bad spot to be in.
  14. adambr2
    Wait a second, I remember you just bashing Segura because he was great early and then struggled as a young player, yet with Thames you ignore the fact that he got off to a ridiculously hot start for the Brewers and use his full-season numbers, dismiss last years numbers and advocate picking up his extension when? Doesn't seem consistent. 1) I have no idea what you're talking about. It's been 4 years since Segura was a Brewer. I won't say I never said that, because I don't know, and Segura was pretty bad his last 2 seasons here. But even if I did, opinions and perspectives do evolve and change over time. 2) If I criticized Segura for his performance those 2 seasons, that has zero to do with Thames. That comparison makes no sense. That's like saying you can't support picking up Thames' option if you criticize Arcia. 3) I didn't dismiss his 2018. He wasn't very good. I said he was hurt much of the year, which he was. I said IF he has a season closer to 2017 they should pick his option up. Which IF that happens they likely should, as they don't have a suitable replacement in the pipeline and they likely won't find a 31 HR/.877 OPS first baseman available for 1 year/7.5M on the open market.

    Claudio still can't get righties out.
  16. adambr2
    Do I really need to precede every statement of mine with "I think", or was the intent and meaning of my post understood?
  17. adambr2
    Yeah, we're done. And if we lose Game 2, we're not winning the series.
  18. adambr2
    WHY is Patty C out there this much?
  19. adambr2
    Stick a fork in us, boys. We have no clue what's going on.
  20. adambr2
    Ersan can't hit an open 3 to save his life today.
  21. adambr2
    Giannis has been just completely punked by Hoford today. It's going to be a tough series to win if we start out with an L at home.
  22. adambr2
    Patty C needs to go away. He should not be playing this much in the EC semis.
  23. adambr2
    Hey, we hit an open 12 footer!
  24. adambr2
    A lot of this is defense, but Giannis is just playing terrible basketball today.
  25. adambr2
    Hope that gets him going. They'll give him that one all day.
