  1. Wisner 27 yards from 1K, and even Blue has an outside shot at joining him if he plays like he did today for 3 more games.
  2. I generally ignore you, you are stupid, and not worth the effort.
  3. Ok, a 3rd year QB did his job. Wow, you really got me there.
  4. I don't think Oregon can stop our running game like Georiga can, but that Oregon-Ohio State game is going to be a freaking war. I think ND takes out Georgia, I just don't see their offense doing anthing against that defense.
  5. It's sad that this is what fans get excited about with the QB. He made a shitty throw that stopped a long TD reception, but hey the WR was wide fucking open and was able to hold onto the ball while getting blown up by the safety. Good boy Quinn, have a cookie.
  6. So a typical Quinn game, made a few decent throws, made some stupid decisions, put too much air on balls that turned TDs into long contested catches, disappeared in the 2nd half.
  7. Ewers should be better than Bert Auburn, yet Auburn out performed Ewers against Georgia. Our kicker sucks, comparing the "star" QB to him is not the winning hand you Quinn dick suckers think you have. Never mind the shitty sack Quinn took right before Auburn missed a 50+ yarder.
  8. He didn't, if he had Texas would have won the game, he scores 1 fucking TD in those 5 RZ opportunities the Longhorns win the game. Going 2/10 for 5 yards is not good enough to win.
  9. We aren't asking him to be perfect, we are asking him to be better than 2/10 for 5 yards in 5 RZ opportunities.
  10. Supposedly Duce Robinson is on a campus somewhere this weekend, wouldn't be shocked if it was him.
  11. I am warming up with Verdugo, we need both of them. Verdugo can likely play against R/L, but Kepler would likely be a strong side platoon guy. I'd feel immensely better about the OF situation with Verdugo, Chas, and Kepler. Then you could use Dezenzo as the platoon partner with Kepler. Meyers can be the 5th OF.
  12. To think we had Tucker's replacement lined up only for our shitty manager at the time to talk the owner out of the solid acquisition of Contreras for Urquidy. Then we scrambled and gave up W. Abreu for a player that Dusty refused to play. This is why you don't let fucking managers and owners dictate personnel moves.
  13. This is why I am against Bregman, you can get two good bats for his projected price point.
  14. Macklemore doesn't understand the fiances of baseball when you are hamstrung with shitty personel decisions and an owner that really is cheap. When you understand that Tucker was never resigning with the Astros and Bregman's contract is abysmal the minute the ink dries you understand why the Astros are doing what they are doing. Anyone thinking that the 3 guys they gave up for Kilkuchi are going to anywhere as good as Cam Smith doesn't understand baseball at a fundamental level. Framber needs to be traded next because you can rebuild your farm system and get major league talent that can help you contend this year in the same deal, we just got that in the deal for Tucker. Clearling off salary and not taking on shitty contracts is how the Astros stay competitive. Really they should have done this with Springer and Correa as well. You had guys ready to replace them, sell high and get another wave of guys that can replace Tucker, Brown, Bregman, etc. Whoever is willing to give you a team discount that is actually good, those are the guys you keep for long term deals and build around them. The problem right now is the $47M that is tied up in Abreu, Montero, and McCullers. None of that is the fault of our current GM. If the Astros had that money, then this off-season would be completely different, but then again the Astros are not a team that is going to give out massive long term contracts that hinder their future investments, nor should they. If we get serioulsy involved with Santander, a 5-year deal is where I would draw the line. 34 is a good age range to not want 3+ more years committed to a player, unless they are the face of the franchise, you let him retire as a only Astro, ala Bagwell, Biggio, and Altuve. This is the 1st offseason in 4-5 years that had a plan with easy to pivot to contingencies.
  15. 11.1 K followers on twitter.
  16. The Astros tried to sign Tucker to a long term deal, Tucker told them no every season, Tucker was always going to FA because that is what Boras told him to do. Connor is not right because you can't force a guy to sign when he and his agent are saying no we want FA as soon as possible.
  17. He was fine before the injury, of course the offense was running up and down the field and he was barely used.
  18. Was he talking about two different people, because the visit was yesterday, which was not Saturday. Turns out we got him.
  19. Or a three team, where the Cubs are getting prospects from the Yankees for Bellinger and sending them to us.
  20. Didn't OB say that Singelton was wanting millions and Texas wouldn't pursue? How that site still has paying customers is beyond me.
  21. For the last fucking time, no one hates Quinn Ewers, there is a debate if he is holding this team back from achieving all the team's goals for this season. Some say yes, and some say no.
  22. This is a whole bunch of nothing.
  23. Vaccaro and Diggs were very good as well.
  24. Even with Tucker healthy, you can't go into a season with Singleton, McCormick, and Meyers taking up 33% of your everyday lineup. That just isn't sustainable.
  25. Sarkisian's what the fuck in game reactions to what Ewers does on the field says plenty more than any interview.
