The Globes ONLY way to make money is with viewers watching the show which was way way down this year and MAYBE this could be the last Golden Globes ever. No loss.

The Brewers signed Jackie Bradley Jr to a 2 year contract. I'm not THAT excited. He's a below average hitter most years but an otherworldly defensive CF. (Miller . . . AmFam Field will help his power as he is a Lefty)
Baseball Prospective predicts Bradly Jr will hit a .750 OPS and a 1.9 WARP** and Cain will now go to RF with his .718 OPS and 1.5 WARP. Where does that put Garcia? He will be the #4 outfielder with his .740 OPS and 1.1 WARP. And Yelich will be in LF with a .884 OPS and amazing 4.1 WARP.
** WARP - Wins Above Replacement Player is Prospectus' attempt at capturing a player' total value. This means considering playing time, position, batting, baserunning, and defense for batters, and role, innings pitched, and quality of performance for pitchers
The Brewers are STACKED defensively with Yelich being the worst of all outfielders.
So at the moment
1B - Hiura OPS .740 1.1 WARP
2B - Wong OPS .753 and 3.0 WARP
SS - Arcia - OPS .700 1.3 WARP
3B??? - Urias? OPS .721 1.5 WARP
LF - Yelich OPS .884 4.1 WARP
CF - Bradley OPS .750 1.9 WARP
RF - Cain OPS .718 1.9 WARP
4th OF - Garcia OPS .740 1.1 WARP
Pitching is still in flux but MAN the bullpen looks good! Topa throws 100mph all of a sudden. Williams was rookie of the year and is AMAZING. Best change-up/screwball in MLB. The guy had a WHIP of 0.63 and it was that "high" because he walked 9 batters but only gave up 8 hits.
OH yea - walked 9 but struck out 53 in 27 innings. Batters were 2 for 62 with those 2 hits being infield hits with his Change Up/Screwball (moves OVER 1 foot - the average movement is about 5 inches in MLB for a change up). PLUS - his change up ball spin is 500 rpm MORE than his fast ball. CRAZY.
And Hader is still Hader .
There is a good reason BP predicts (very good at predicting) the Brewers to be in 1st place with 89. wins
Odd thing last year was Hader was HORRIBLE against LHBatters and Yelieve CRUSH LHPitchers and sucked vs. RHPitchers
Catchers - well - VERY few catchers now ever have more then 250 at bats so it's a crap shoot
OH - I've listened to 6 spring training games from 4 teams - seems the common thread is most teams will need AT LEAST 9 starting pitchers as most starters will not pitch more than 150 innings and it looks like an expanded play off like last year is coming.
Also from other teams announcers - The Brewers are THE team that changed how games are played with analytics and shifts. No team shifts more than the Brewers and no team uses their pitching staffs like the Brewers - many point to Tampa Bay being the inventors of bullpenning but it's actually the Brewers who have perfected it.

Air Fryers - wow - a game changer in my mind. We have made some fantastic donuts, fried chicken, had some GREAT burgers last night, fried tofu as a great snack, frozen food is so so much better then oven baking. Baked potatoes the other night. Pizza is still a work in progress though. LOVE it.
and now I seem to go into RANT mode
Geez - I ALMOST agree with Ron Big Dope Johnson. I would love to see all the pork in the stimulus bill. BUT - we shall never know. All 640 pages of the bill were read out loud last night. Did you catch any of it? Both factions of our government wanted to keep things a little secret.
And then there is Andrew Cuomo who owns the largest asshole in NY (BTW - do you what is plural for anus is? It's anis. Say that in a sentence) ANYWAY - the guy is always quoting P.A. Parkinson.
THERE IS NO SUCH HUMAN - it's a made up guy in his tiny corrupt brain!
I used to like the guy but then a friend said NO!!! he is a hideous human. OK OK - so yea - there was no room for Covid patients so he moved them into nursing homes which killed a whole bunch of old people and THEN since they were supposed to be in hospitals . . . . that is where they died, not the nursing homes. And might as well throw in the residents of the nursing homes also.
OH - don't you dare believe I'm growing soft. Republican Politicians are still the most corrupt group ever who only want power so they can make LITERALLY BILLIONS in tax cuts. Did you increase your household income by 30% this year? GOP politicians and their wealthy buddies did. Odd how that never trickled down isn't it.
BUT - I digress.

I heard that the S. Beloit cannabis store has longer hours and zero lines now. Illinois sold $110 million in cannabis in February with $25 million going back to it's citizens from the taxes.
Meanwhile Columbus wants to charge $7 a month for infrastructure because the State has no money (not a "tax" only a "fee"). The GOP run Senate budget put the nix on helping small towns so small towns are forced to create more money. NOT OUR GOVERNMENTS PROBLEM. They are way way to busy trying to suppress the vote even more and are super concerned with LGBT rights.
OK OK - got off a little there, that one is on me. I literally HATE all republican politicians and dislike most Democratic politicians for NOT ACTING like the republican politicians. OH - we are above their corruption and contempt for the constitution and law and order and will not act like a Republican . . . and that is why the left, even though we get more votes, always lose.

OK - nuff said for today
have a GREAT weekend and LOTS of GREAT WARM weather coming!!!
