  1. This problem has been clear to Surly for a good while, but even after the loss of Tucker, Bregman and Alvarez I'm not sure it registered fully with the front office. Maybe they just assumed someone would magically fill the obvious voids or that Paredes would come back much sooner, but neither happened. Cole isn't the full answer going forward, though he looks to be part of it. Jury obviously is still out on Matthews and Melton, among others coming up from the farm.
  2. I don't watch a ton of NFL, but any team that struggles to run two straight plays without a penalty is an embarrassment to the game.
  3. The lack of Yordan on there might have had me wondering if he retired on opening day.
  4. Not coaching at third, I know that much.
  5. When it doesn't matter if they win, these guys look pretty good.
  6. Perhaps players aren't the only ones drawing from the NIL well.
  7. This is not simile. It is a literal description of the game.
  8. Do your solid additions include Judge, Ohtani and Skenes?
  9. With 18 games left, I predicted on another board that we'd finish 8-10 to win 86 for the season. After the Rangers series that seemed really pessimistic, but now we might not even get there. What a lifeless bunch of dregs.
  10. Circling the drain
  11. About as tough a match as you'll see for a sweep. Love how multiple ladies are making big plays when they must. And that dig by Emma...just wow.
  12. Emma's so good. Serious scrambler.
  13. Hard for me to imagine we wouldn't sign Snell if given the chance. He's a total beast. His epic game-saving 4th down tackle against Duncanville is still reverberating across the state.
  14. Per Bobby, Brown to safety is false.
  15. All true. Pitcher pitches, hitter hits, fielder fields, runner runs. All individual skills that are largely independent of teammates' actions or attitudes. But I still want Tech to flame out in an inglorious fireball of failure, however it might happen. Even another botched IBB would work for me.
  16. Is it too much to ask for Tech to have chemistry issues and then fall way short of expectations? That's never too much to ask for.
  17. Trying to recall ever having been this annoyed by a 9-0 lead. Don't think I have been.
  18. Maybe humiliation (if it still even exists in pro sports) will do this organization some good. Odds are we're about to find out.
  19. I'm not sure any one thing leads to Brown's little hiccups from game to game. But when the margin is so thin (due to our sad lack of offense), a run here and a run there gets him beat or at least leads to a frustrating no-decision too often. He's one of the top RH pitchers in baseball, and I just feel he has the stuff to escape more of those situations.
  20. That half-inning illustrated Brown's frustrating issue: cruise through innings until you get a baserunner or two, then let it turn into a run. I still wonder if he does something out of the stretch to make him less effective.
  21. I'm thinking he's on a first-name basis with Carrington Byndom. Or at least the Earl of Sandwich.
