Phil Jackson wouldn't be able to keep this group together. But good luck to nash. Nets did an amazing job getting themselves together. But what do I know, I didn't think Lebron/AD and nobody would work. Turns out they were one of the best teams of the decade, and now are stacked 1 year later. I'm sure this amazing team of joyless basketball will be a juggernaut. Go Heat. Go Bucks.

he is not. This is the most talented team I've seen that I have very little confidence could win a title.

top 200 came out for BA. Not surprising stuff if you followed the top college and top prep stuff. Still great stuff, ❤️ BA. at 21: Isaac Pacheco

My worry is that Mitch was a bad QB but also the best QB that Pace has brought onto this team.

a few years ago I think kluber would still make a 1 yr 16 mill deal (a la hamels) as he is younger and people will feel confident in the stuff. It's certainly going to be over $10 i imagine.

cc the certain person who wrote off Paxton because he was only throwing 93 in December.

So they had two days of long discussions. Are at a crossroads. And the only changes they can articulate is that they fired the defensive coordinator when the worst part of the team was the offense? cool cool cool

I just can't disagree more. The Brewers made the playoffs last year. They made the playoffs the year before that. They made the playoffs the year before that. The year before that they won 86 games and were in 2nd place. The white sox at the time hadn't made the playoffs in 8 years. They had finished in 4th place in two years where they were ostensibly competing for the playoffs, not only not being able to compete with an in-its-prime royals team, but getting lapped by an ascending Cleveland team. And Stearns did all that by a bunch of paperclip moves finding players like Shaw and Aguilar and finding trash heap starting pitchers and getting good seasons out of them. They looked in bad shape last year, had one of their better players sit out, and made the playoffs. The entire division around them is imploding. They have the best staff in the division, and an incredible bullpen. They are the same paper clip moves from another playoff year. And even if they were the white sox, why in teh world would it make sense to take a 2b already in the majors and a reliever as part of your main package? The only wind of brewers pitchers on the move continues to be unofficial sox personalities. Nobody from milwaukee or nationally has thrown any credence to this.

I don't know if any of you follow dabearsblog but it really really irritates/makes me laugh how all of last year he was just adamant that trubisky was so bad he just torpedoed all of Nagy's offense and how much the coaching staff all pointed to Foles as the guy that could run it. Then foles puts together a run worse than Trubisky and worse than a John Fox offense, the team goes 8-8 and after he lays down his own benchmark to hit of wanting to rather see the bears lose to the packers and miss the playoffs in a 35-28 game that continued their offensive progress, getting the absolute opposite... and then turning around and just doing the "it's all mitch's fault" and be human they just missed a QB and it happens.

I agree on the president, it's just the more I think about that the more it still seems backwards that we'd force two prove-it guys under him/her.

I just have to imagine it would be easier to get players from teams that are unlikely to compete this year like the dbacks. Because there is no compelling reason I see for the brewers to send out those pitchers when they aren't expensive and are unlikely to be while also being very likely to be in a good position to win the division this year.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Yeah I just don't get the Brewers motivation at all. Their payroll is pretty cheap compared to last year, and Woodruff/Burnes don't save them any money. And that's the thing, the only way this makes sense to me is if they are trying to sell high on burnes to get rid of Cain's salary. And that would put them at like a 55 million salary, and maybe sign JBJ for $10 mill and they would like incredibly believe in stiever. So I guess if I was them the conversation would be take Cain, trade Burnes, and in return get a cease back.

This is why I don't like it. Jones might end up incredible, as I've said I've kinda given up acting like I know when a Qb could be good. But, I think this is fair, when it inevitably ends next year and they get rid of Pace and Nagy the scenario I mention means handing over to a new front office 1) A QB they have to stick with B) less assets c) Still cap issues. Next year could have been a bite the bullet year. Now it could be next 2 years, 3 years. They are going to convince themselves they can get an incredible 2017 saints draft out of this but they don't have the coach or the QB to make it matter.

He's going to fall in love with Mac Jones then convince himself a team is about to draft him one spot ahead, trade a fourth and a sixth. etc etc

Googles milwaukee brewers roster

Pathetic

Seems like the hints are that pagano will be the sacrificial lamb.

Just a text book case of saying nothing

They should try and get the best players they can period. Sox disadvantage is a lot of their “expendable” guys have positional limitations.

Is he a long term 2b

Wild charts holy smokes That pitch distribution chart

it took so long to sign I was just happy it was completed but again... Big series... Keuchel goes only 5 but gives up 3. Starts the next inning with baserunners. We throw Heuer, Crochet, Bummer, Hendriks. OPTTHTHTPH
