    Did he try to snap off a screwball lol

    FWIW Football Outsiders has tracked DVOA since 1999 and this Packers team had the 2nd lowest grade among 13 win teams since the Mike Brown miracles Bears of 2001

    Chiefs 7 offensive TDs Time of Possession 19:16

    So it appears you can win in today's NFL by bludgeoning your opponent on the ground. Henry has 1275 yards in his last 8 games.

    If Arenado would agree to waive the opt-out I'd hope we would be all over that acquisition. The left side of our IF would get a tremendous boost and he basically makes what we hope Bryant would take. It makes sense to me but it's an extremely complicated trade to make work and I dont see it happening. What's gonna happen is the Cards will figure a way to make it happen and they will have their new Rolen to haunt us for the next half decade.

    Second most ever. Allan Houston had a game with 37 points. Reggie Miller had a game with 34 points and added 0 turnovers also. Michael Redd had a game with 29 points and also had no turnovers and no fouls. He also didn’t take a FT in the game so all he did in the box score was take 14 shots (13 of which were 3-pointers). Nice, thanks for doing the research. I figured it hasnt happened often.

    Bojan dropped 35 points without an assist, rebound, block, or steal. I feel like that has to be a pretty rare feat. Edit: just read he became the first player ever with multiple games if 25 pts with 0 in those other 4 categories.

    The Angels at 8/1 are intriguing. Losing Cole and their current means of stealing signs (ie they could very well develop a better/stealthier system) could take the Astros down a couple notches. Add in the Angels lineup and Joe's initial morale and chemistry boost, they could make a run at it. They can still make some plays/splashes in FA as well to further close the gap, maybe muddy up the division a little. The A's will always be competitive but are not locks to be better than the Angels IMO

    I mean if his non-hitting skills continue to grade that high he would likely produce more war in his team control than we would get out of KB for the next 2 years but I'm just not feeling his hitting skill. So it would just be a 1-1 trade if we are fortunate enough to get Robles?
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    I would wager that a lot of his milb offense was bolstered by his speed, turning squibblers into infield singles and some bloop doubles. He averaged 81 EV last year, hes horsefeathering weeeeeeak. I believe he benefited quite a bit from the juiced ball last year and wouldn't expect 15+ HR in a 'normal' year. I'm not gonna go gaga over a 4 war season from a 21 year old that's all based on non-offense. Been down that road before. Theres enough for me to believe that hes really not a good hitter and if he doesnt get a lot stronger, I feel his offensive upside is not that great.

    I have a feeling this will turn out really well for the Brewers. After all they did find success in another MLB washout who found himself in the KBO. The dude put up fantastic KBB last year, he should at least control the zone well, which is basically Q's most impactful contribution IMO. I'm just frustrated with their lack of movement.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    I’d rather have Q. He gets horsefeathers on because of how much we gave up and the fact that he hasn’t quite lived up to expectations, but he’s also 25th in WAR among pitchers since joining the Cubs. There’s 20 Josh Lindbloms every year in free agency. Q is whatever. Kudos to him for tidying up his KBB so that fg would like him enough, but his run prevention is on a sharp decline. Despite moving to a more pitcher friendly park and having a better defense behind him he has accumulated less than half of the bwar with us than he did in the 3.5 seasons prior with the Sox. Before we got him he was excellent according to both systems. Now we are just grateful that one finds him to be good still.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    I'm seriously despising our inability to move bad money. horsefeathering get creative. Hell, you could have just moved Q. I'd rather have Lindblom at 3/9 than him at 1/10, risk of him not translating seamlessly be damned.
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Iit would be the best outcome, and why I cheer on Mitch. We have other needs, like TACKLE We need more viable edge rushers badly. Leno and Massie are locked in with their salaries already. I'd prefer a vet pickup there. The draft class is strong at edge and we could get something really nice to complement Mack. I've seen enough of Floyd to know that he is an utter JAG. Keep grooming Bars and hope he can supplant Massie next year at some point.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    And had 10 HR in his first 2000 pro PA. I really feel a lot of his offensive value is baked mostly in the juiced ball. The OBP is nice but I dont believe the power is real.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Same horsefeathers in his pro day workouts. Remove opposing players and he would be a superstar!
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    That also ignores like 6 drops. Mitch got fucked last night by Nagy and his receivers. Nagy should not be calling plays anymore, its blatantly obvious.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Shaheen is absolutely hopeless. That breakdown... man. He literally looks like a dude they grabbed off the street an hour before the game.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    They would have to make a roster change to get Bray on the active roster. It would be easy to do by dropping Mike Davis. When you only run 7 times a game, you don't really need a 3rd RB. Also if they cut Davis early enough in the season (week 10 maybe?) the comp pick for Amos is back in play.... If they dont do that I would put the non-move on par with Angelo's Warrick Holdman blunder. It's just pure inexcusable idiocy not to cut Davis at this point.

    This is delicious watching cocky ass Bregman's blunders open the floodgates here in the 7th

    you want to trade Kris Bryant for a reliever and an outfielder with a .667 OPS in High A Well that's one way you can view it Or you can see that you're judging a 100 PA sample, he posted a 400 woba the level prior, his Ks spiked to a highly uncharacteristic level, and he carries a 50 FV at our most desired position. Hes 75th on fg's board and could very easily be top 50 when the newest list drops. He was a 2nd round pick just 2 years ago and will be 20 when the season starts. Yeah, just an outfielder with a 6 something OPS at High A... Meanwhile Ginkel posted a 41% K-BB and kept HR relatively in check at the most troublesome level for a pro pitcher last year. He held his own in MLB and we need more high leverage arms. We should try to be less reliant on the rotation anyway so a guy like Ginkel could provide some good value for the team. I don't know why we'd scoff at a guy who could pitch multiple innings, throws strikes, and misses a ton of bats. On top of all that, that is just the foundation of the package I am curious about. All along I've been told to temper expectations of a return so I'm not really shooting for the stars there. I'm tying to remain reasonable.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    What about a package centered on Alek Thomas and Kevin Ginkel from Arizona?
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    The players aren't as good as we think they are to naturally make adjustments and the coaches and advanced scouting/FO don't prepare them well enough for the day to day stuff (like getting our butts shoved vs Gio, Peter Lambert, Mahle, etc). The FO/Coaching changes on some of this stuff is as important, if not more, than the player turnover we expect. Agreed. And if a pitcher can tunnel we really fall off the rails. Pretty much every hitter was befuddled by the high fastball/breaking ball in the dirt combo. The numbers against curves and sliders were really bad for an offense that was supposed to be as good as ours was expected to be. A lot of that can be countered with proper preparation. I remember early in Joe's tenure he said something to the effect of not wanting his hitters to get bogged down in the details and wanting them to go up there with a clear mind. He was not a proponent of the percentages and tendencies being fed to hitters and I think that's part of the reason that guys stagnated in their development.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    That likely got them in the play-in game, though.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Tough to recover from a play/meltdown like that. That was poetic justice for those frauds.
