    700 is a much more believable number.
  2. HtownHorn
    He's got good splits at home and with that lineup, I am guessing he continues his + outcomes at Camden.

    Wow, there is talk about getting rid of the spring portal window and if it's approved, it would go into effect this season.

    That 7000 number is complete bullshit. That menas by average each player on scholarship, assumig 85, would have gained 82 pounds.

    Gerry just said that Brooks will make his decion by 3:30. Burton asked if he got that news from Brooks himself, Gerry smiled and said no comment.

    Most of Elko's higher rated kids are from California. I bet if they look bad, they lose a few of those if any teams in their region push.

    Please, they could get pants by ND in week one, then win their next 4 games against McNeese, Florida, Bowling Green, and Arkansas and the roller coaster would be back on track heading into a big home game against a likely 4-0 top 10 Missouri team.

    Pitching has fuled the turn around. The Astros are now 4th in the AL in era at 3.79, which is incredible considering we were near last heading into June. They have shaved off close to 1.5 points since mid-June. Offense is still a major problem. Arrighetti has a near sub 3.00 era in the 2nd half but is only 2-4, while the team is 2-5 in his 7 GS, he has been dominating with a 54/12 SO/BB ration in those 42.2 IP. Framber, Brown, Kikuchi, and Arighetti are all turning in good starts consisently. Verlander came back and delievered a QS in his 1st start in months, yet the offense scored 1 run against a mid pitching staff.

    Mullins would be a great addition to the Astros, loves swinging at pitches that were never in the strike zone.

    When you play more reall MLB players, they put together better ABs. Then your rookies can relax and see ball hit ball. It also helps that Burnes has been struggling badly for the last month, carrying a 6.21 era in his last 5, which is going up even more after tonight.

    Singling them to death.

    Gamel is a professional hitter.
  13. HtownHorn
    Of the high profile guys remaining, it seems we are getting Williams, Brooks, Ffrench, and Terry. You add those 4, and we jump into the Top 5 with room to add more, especially at DT, CB, and maybe 1 more RB.

    Altuve's ISO has been on average .198 excluding covid and his 1st 3 seasons when he was barely league average despite racking up hits. It's .138 this saeson and keeps going down every month. Something had to happen because the 1st month of the season 13 BBs and 7 HRs; the rest of the season 23 BBs and 9 HRs. He has had 2 months with a slug over ,400 this season, something is not right. At least this month he is back to walking at an near elite level of over 10%, or his numbers would be in the same area as Meyers.

    Sorry I meant to say above average.
  16. HtownHorn
    I base everything hitting wise by OBP and ISO. If you can't get on base you don't score runs. A .319 OBP is weak, especially when you consider is about average batting average. Generally speaking you want at a minimum at 60 point difference between your average and on-base percentage, when you get into the 80s+ then you are starting to talk about strong hitters. This is why I have been saying for a while that Altuve is having a disappointing season. He's less than 60 points difference, and his ISO has almost disappeared. His approach since the 1st month of the season has been abysmal. This is going to be his worse full season since 2014 and he hit .341 that season.

    The SEC doesn't play many Monday games, their big night is Tuesday.
  18. HtownHorn
    What does your reply have to do with what I responded to?
  19. HtownHorn
    Play Gamel over Meyers. No player with a sub. 300 OBP needs to be playing everyday.
  20. HtownHorn
    Walks and we are an awful team on the bases, we have one guy on our team that hustles his ass off like Duran, unforunately he's one of the weakest hitters on the team in Pena. This offense will be more prodcutive with a shift in philospy from a pull everything approach and a better constructed lineup. Whitcomb's .899 OPS sucks?
  21. HtownHorn
    And Fasusi is a sure thing?
  22. HtownHorn
    Our defense has been a sieve this entire series.
  23. HtownHorn
    When does Gamel replace McCormick?
  24. HtownHorn
    Unplayable on defense.

    Espada likley doesn't understand the pinch hit rule and proved in a game last week. Espada is a fucking moron that has no feel for when to pull his pitchers, relies too much on HRs to score runs, and puts together lineups like a retard.
