    couldn't disagree more with the comment that mid major tournament winners shouldn't get an automatic bid. Lets face it, 95% of these teams would not get a bid if their tournament didn't get an automatic seed. For example, Oakland (horizon regualr season champ) has a kenpom ranking of 113, which is hardly worthy of an atlarge bid. The teams that have a truely special season in a mid major conference will get their at large bid, but it is rare and it should be like that. the conference tournament gives each and every team something to play for all season, without UWM could have checked out months ago. The NCAA tournament was never about putting the best 68 teams in the tourmament, because if they did it would be a bunch of power 6 conference teams and be very boring.

    its a nice audition for both the team and the player, which is probably a better use of a roster sport that a d league player. I think he is a player that would be hard to get to sign with Milwaukee as a free agent in the offseason, but being in the city for 2 months and being around the players he may like it here. also it gives Zanick and Kidd a chance to see how he fits in with the system and the team.

    he is only 25, i like the signing. i think this is better than taking a waiver on a d league player. Their last d league guy sat on the bench for 10 days and is now gone. Jones will be able to contribute with Beasley out and could be in the plans for 2018

    lunardi has them off the bubble and not in a play in game in todays update. i BELIEVE that Marquette could end up as high as a #3 seed in the tournament or as low as a 6 (their current seeding). Marquette's win last night clinched a 1st round bye, which is good news. (top 6 get byes)
  5. patrickgpe
    who knows?, kidd is good friends with ownership and has dealt with injuries this season. i believe that Hammond is retiring after this season and Zanik will be taking over, who should get to hire his own coach if he wants.

    they probably do need to beat Creighton or win a conference tournament game to lock it up, but they have a kenpom ranking of 30, RPI of 58, and most impressively 7 wins over a top 50 RPI team. if the big east does get 6 teams, i think Xavier has fallen off of the bubble which can only help Marquette. if the committee looks at your last 10 and you lost 6 in a row, thats not good.

    marquette really backed themselves in a corner, they really need to win both games this week and probably 1 conference tournament game to get off of the bubble. The 2 losses to providence and 1 to st johns really doesn't look good on a resume.

    Wisconsin sports, so all packers,milwaukee pro and college teams and UW badgers. 20 questions i want them to medium difficulty. I want people to have to know something about sports to be able to answer but I don't want to make them so hard or random that only hardcore sports fans would only know

    i would go into the d-league and try to find a diamond in the rough. the mavs recently stuck gold with yogi ferrell, no hurt in signing a few guys to 10 day contracts to try them out for 2017-18. seems like a better use of a roster sport than resigning novak.

    Hi i am looking for a source for fun sports trivia questions for a party saturday night. i have been searching online for a source but can't really seem to find what i am looking for. by fun i mean not too much focused on statistics (i.e. i don't want to ask who won the 1972 AL batting championship), but more general (i.e. which former brewer is a current partial owner of the admirals - Ben Sheets). can someone suggest a website, or a book that i can buy to help me?
  11. patrickgpe
    i think they are back on the bubble, the good news is that they play in a good conference and still have some big games coming up so they can right the ship. I think Xavier on Saturday is now a must win, which i normally don't say in mid-February.
  12. patrickgpe
    i think Marquette will be an 8 or 9, as of right now, but there is a lot of basketball to be played.

    i don't get the point to give a 3 year deal to a 1st baseman and then pick up a player to platoon with him. lets see what he can do this season and adjust our roster accordingly if the Thames signing flops. Lets give him as many at bats as possible and see if we have something.

    i love this move even though i would expect it to have little advantage in 2017, but it allows the bucks to move another bad RFA deal off of the books and the bucks could be totally clear in the summer if Hawes doesn't pick up his option. I just wish the new GM will learn to not negotiate against yourself in restricted free agency. Hibbert does remind me a little bit of Moose, who didn't fit in the bucks system, Hawes is more of a Plumlee guy who i am sure will see some minutes. I hope this means that Maker will continue to get a bump in minutes as the bucks build for next season.

    these moves follows Sterns MO of trying to add depth to the organizqation if Adrianza clears waivers he is good triple A depth, if i was a betting man i would suspect that Aquilar will have the same fate as Adrianza.

    I'm thinking a scooter trade is coming, if not it doesn't make sense to give up Scahill for a Utility infielder. He seems to me to be the same player as Rivera though.
  17. patrickgpe
    well i think that is more difficult, but i hope they try to secure the high A franchise long term, i have a feeling the brewers are stuck in Colorado springs for a while

    I took a 180 on this, susac and Bradley are only 26, I'd rather let them compete and play than give wieters the every day job at 30 who only batted 242 last season.

    well i know its late in the game and most good candidates are gone., but if they are going to dump Capers, i see little advantage of just promoting internally. this is what the packers did for years and years as they went through DC's every few years before they went outside and got capers. Honestly i would rather hire Rex Ryan as DC then promote Moss or Perry.

    signed with the rockies for 1 year, i wonder what the cash will be.

    Scooter has about an identical amount of PAs the last 3 years as Forsythe, so lack of opportunities is not the issue. Forsythe is a much better player than Scooter both at the plate and in the field besides being far more versatile. Scooter to the Rays makes enough sense, just don't expect anything of value in return. last season scooter hit .263/14/56 Forsythe hit .264/20/52 minus the power numbers, they are very similar. I agree that defensively and versatility are 2 big advantages over scooter. i don't expect a top prospect back for Scooter, but he wouldn't be a bad replacement for Logan for the Rays.
  22. patrickgpe
    Scooter to the rays makes sense, I think given the chance to play every day he would put up similar numbers to Forsythe anyway at a lower price.

    I don't get it for the dodgers, I know they needed a 2nd baseman but to give a top prospect up for one that is probably only slightly better than MLB average seems like a steep price. http://dodgerblue.com/dodgers-trade-rumors-la-engaged-serious-talks-rays-logan-forsythe/2017/01/23/

    Lundari now has Marquette in the field of 68 (all be it in the play in game) tomorrow is a huge game for MU, a win over Villanova would go a long way in March.
  25. patrickgpe
    I'm indifferent. You are not signing him to turn him into a prospect in July. Therefore he is just taking innings from a younger guy.
