  1. No Surprise, this was my concern when they signed him last offseason. If he did well, he used us to get a long term deal, if he struggled he gets paid 18 million in 25. The contract was massively in the players favor. https://x.com/AdamMcCalvy/status/1852412103652733211
  2. @nate82I get that, but about every pick has been bad. You should hit on one every once in a while. I wanted Dunn this last draft and he has been good so far. If he would just not swing for the fences every tike (like he did with DiVincenzo)
  3. very good point. I'd look at Spencer Allen or Matt Erickson to get the 1st base gig, knowing that the tendency is to promote from within rather than go outside with the staff.
  4. Beauchamp's 4th year option declined, adding to the list of failed draft picks under Horst. Since the majority of the picks that bucks have had the last few years and have the rest of the decade, they do not have control of, one of their biggest issues that their picks have been horrible. One could argue that the best (and only decent) pick Host has made during his time here is DiVincenzo. I understand that this is partially not fair due to the large amount of picks lost in the Bledsoe, Holiday and Dame trades, but you got to hit the ones you have. This is why added I along with the horrible coaching firing / hiring decisions wasn't going to be upset if Horst went to Detroit last offseason.
  5. I was worried that with no announcement and his contract expiring on Thursday he was north side bound.
  6. they made Counsell the highest paid manager, I am sure they will throw a ton of cash at Hook. He has a good track record of turning waiver claims or retreat players into more than serviceable. With the price of pitching he is worth his weight in gold.
  7. that's fair, but is 1 year of Williams worth about the same as 1 year , 2 months of Hader. He netted us a top pitching prospect and the prospect that got us the best catcher in the NL. EDIT: and yes I understand there is extra value of having a closer for 2 postseasons, rather than one, but you should get better than middling prospects for Williams.
  8. Williams should get something back similar to Burnes, I agree your proposal is more realistic. How about Ceddanne Rafaela and Sandlin or Meidroth?
  9. Not sure Boston says Yes, but Marcelo Mayer for Devin Williams Brewers can keep their IF as is then and replace Willy with Marcello.
  10. I only knew because they changed the name of their Facebook account
  11. At lesser one other team will make a run at him. I agree on berry @markedman5, baserunning has been great.
  12. Obviously retaining hook is a priority. I could see changes in the staff for Murphy to bring in his guys.
  13. Looks like Ballys has been renamed as "Fan Duel Sports Network Wisconsin"
  14. Packer fans have been spoiled again with Jacke, Longwell and Crosby for most of the last 30 years. McManus isn’t the greatest choice and is 33 but he is better than they have had since Crosby left. I agree it hard, but the Vikings drafted a guy who hasn’t missed yet and the lions got a guy from the ufl that hasn’t either. If McManus performs well, I’m sure they will try to sign him to a shortish term deal, to stabilize a position that has been in flux the last 2 years
  15. Glad they brought in a team. An added bonus was that he has experience in kicking I’m the elements with Narverson didn’t The Vikings and Lions have young kickers with no misses to date. Packers had to do something
  16. YES! its glaring this year with the real possibility that 3 of the final 4 teams will have 300 million dollar payrolls if the dodgers don't choke tonight. Fans don't want a chance to make the playoffs once in a while by expanding the # of teams, but rather a real chance to win it all.
  17. I personally its 50% WC getting hot at the end of the year (playing to get in, while the #1 and #2 seeds are resting / setting pitching rotation at the end of the year) and 50% the layoff. If MLB wants to expand it to 8 so teams get a layoff, I'm fine with that. If MLB wants to go back to 4. I'm fine with that. The only thing that I'm not OK with is the 2012-2021 rules of a 1 game WC. Also as I said in my 1st paragraph, I don't necessarily think the playoffs need fixing., but I do agree watching WC teams rather than the top seeds in the WS weakens the event.
  18. If it ends up being via a brewers cable channel that is going to be quite the undertaking with basically 5 months until spring training games start. OTA will be hard because the brewers would have to sell it to every market in the state and find a home for 150 games in a short time frame. I think the most likely scenario is a brewers.tv app.
  19. I think the most likely scenario is nothing changes too much. As I just posted, I would hope like youtube.tv and sling gets a chance to show the games. I think there is a possibility that WMLW, CW, UPN would get a chance to show the games, but then again markets outside of Milwaukee would have to figure it out.
  20. hopefully this means larger distributorship on cable / streaming options.
  21. the great thing about the air bender is that it looks like a fast ball coming out of his hand, and the hitter doesn't realize it until its too late. If there is a tell (no matter how small), its a big advantage to the hitter. Yes he wasn't locating his pitches last night, which had nothing to do with Alonso's homer, I'll give you that.
  22. It was reported Mears was tipping his pitches before he got traded. If a professional hitter only has to focus on the angle of the glove and knows if the air bender is coming or not, its a big help. Also I don't think many pitchers do tip them. Look at how dominant he was on Wednesday vs being very average on Thursday. I think a strong case can be made that something was seen on video after game 2.
  23. Interesting case, Seems like the Mets saw something on video Wednesday night incase he pitched Thursday. https://www.facebook.com/reel/3816582005223277
  24. i agree. This also makes tons of sense for MLB and I think it will improve the brewers TV revenue.
  25. for post game 97.3 is the gold standard around here. I like 1250's coverage but its very limited because its only local 2-5. I try to listen to 620 for pre/post, its very bland and boring to me. 920 is all national, so I don't think you will find any local coverage.
