  1. Good god, how small must your world be to actually believe any of this drivel?
  2. I like Yordan hitting 3rd.
  3. Yuli last year: yuli this year:
  4. Well yeah, it’s an incredible stretch in the first place, and by saying it out loud, this guy drew attention to just how little they have to be proud of. Sometimes it’s best to just shut the fuck up.
  5. I mean…I guess in the pre-BCS era, there wasn’t a “national title game” and it is sorta conceivable that they potentially were playing for a share of a national title. However, it is almost certain that the Miami-Alabama winner was going to be the unanimous #1. But yeah, since that season culminated with a 28-3 ass kicking at the hands of Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl, it probably would have been best for this guy to just remain silent. Unfortunately that is just not something aggies do well.
  6. Bregman OPS has gone from .694 to .767 in last 7 games. And his expected wOBA is still 26 points higher than his actual.
  7. Haha this made me think immediately of this:
  8. Me, every time I’m reminded of that goddamned ‘92 trade:
  9. Meh. It’s June and the Astros have a 9.5 game lead in their division. Bregman’s starting to hit. Alvarez is dominant. They had a bad inning in the middle of the season.
  10. Yeah it’s based on probabilities, and the probabilities of scoring are reduced tremendously when you add outs (even when advancing runners). Doesn’t mean it is never the right call, but there’s a reason it is almost never done in MLB anymore.
  11. Oh yeah, agreed…it is unlikely. The 2001 Mariners team that won 116 games sort of had a similar run that lasted the whole season.
  12. They’re also 16-6 in 1-run games. Those tend to even out (though not always; seems like the Rangers had an extraordinarily good record in 1-run games one year…maybe 2015 or 2016?). Then again, their Pythagorean expected win total is just about where they actually are, so it’s not like you can attribute their performance to date to luck.
  13. .438/.571/.813, 2 HR in last 5 games (before tonight). Season OPS has gone from .694 to .743 in a week.
  14. Haha 2-time Heisman finalist and 1st team all American QB who went 25-2 in 08-09 in games he started (25-1 in games he actually participated in for more than a quarter goddamnit). What a shame that would be.
  15. I mean, they probably were.
  16. As long as the top 5 includes Altuve, Brantley, Bregman, Alvarez and Tucker, I don’t actually care that much about the order. But I also think that Bregman will come out of his funk any time now.
  17. Why did they ever move them to where they didn’t belong in the first place?
  18. Same. I was 9. ‘86 was such a great season and that was such a fun Astros team. I hated the Mets too. But I actually liked Strawberry - he was just awesome to watch and holy shit did he have HOF talent (he was on a clear HOF track before the years of addiction caught up to him). And I hated Gary Carter, but then he got cancer and died pretty young, and turns out he wasn’t a bad guy. And I hated Keith Hernandez, but then a few years later he was on some damn good Seinfeld episodes, so I kinda started liking him. So my hatred for the Mets took a big hit. But Lenny Dykstra - fuck that guy now and forever.
  19. 3/20 on balls in play. As you said, it happens.
