  1. I think Jake should try bunting his way on, even with two outs.
  2. We really needed a hit there.
  3. He was talking about the baseball gods being kind to the Longhorns. Nevermind, read that wrong.
  4. Yankees are talking about boycotting ESPN. USA Today article They are upset that ESPN is moving a Sunday game in Toronto from 1:00 to a night game, when they have a doubleheader scheduled the next day in Baltimore. The game isn't until July 8, so it might get moved back. MLB office and MLBPA are negotiating with ESPN.
  5. I may be completely wrong on this, but is operation of the Erwin Center under the Athletic Department, or under Physical Education? I know at some point it was under PE.
  6. And Green Berets is Oscar level filmmaking compared to The Conqueror.
  7. Or maybe I'm the one who came up with the brilliant endings to Seinfeld and The Sopranos.
  8. My only problem with the finale was the very ending. I would have ended it with Phil and Liz in their car alone right after crossing the border into Russia, not knowing what the future holds. Or the two of them standing in the middle of their bleak one room apartment, knowing that this is what they are stuck with.
  9. FX had quite a run with The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Justified, and The Americans.
  10. I found this info at https://salaries.texastribune.org/university-of-texas-at-austin/departments/intercollegiate-athletics/positions/ It is from July 2017, when Perrin was still AD. Here are some of the positions and their median salaries. 23 Assistant AD's - $100, 742 12 Associate AD's - $144, 969 4 Executive Senior Associate AD's - $242, 899 3 Senior Associate AD's - $164, 932 2 Athletic Directors - $695, 417 1 Chief of Staff - $156, 080
  11. You should always answer the call, but don't hesitate to hang up.
  12. No, I think Jerky is even worse. I hate to think about what kind of things they might do for the seventh inning stretch.
  13. I hope he gets escorted out of the stadium.
  14. Yep, after updates the difference between #1 and #2 is greater than the difference between #2 and #8. Verlander surely is an outlier. The starters and their ranks: 1. Verlander 1.05 4. Cole 1.75 7. Morton 2.03 26. Keuchel 3.10 51. McCullers 3.63
  15. We can't let our Offer-to-LOI ratio get too low. That is one of those key analytical thingy's that measures the success of a program.
  16. He probably should have gone by his birth name to satisfy his critics: Krishna Pandit Bhanji
  17. That is like saying Barak Obama is white. Of course, if you take ethnicity from the maternal side you are completely accurate.
  18. Is there any way to undo this?
  19. I loved The Longest Day, but it was a different experience for me. My grandfather was at Normandy, so I already knew D-Day was successful. Ray was also a really good movie, but it was a different experience for me. I saw Ray Charles in concert, so I already knew he was blind. The Darkest Hour and Dunkirk were both a different experience for me. I showed up to class that one day and learned about them.
  20. At the end of April last year, Carlos Correa was just hitting .233 with a slugging percentage of .349 and an OPS of .658. And he already had 250 games and 1000 AB's of experience. Fisher had 50 games and 150 AB's last year. It will take some time to figure out how good Fisher will be.
  21. One of the reasons they moved Springer to leadoff was to encourage him to be more selective at the plate.
  22. Remember, it's all those bandwagon fans that are paying for the Altuve extension as well as any other payroll increases.
  23. never mind, low blow
  24. Leon definitely made the choice that best fits him.
