  1. Those dudes were WAY too cool about that. Fine if you want act cool to diffuse the situation while a guy is pointing a gun at you after firing at you, but if those dudes didn’t call the cops on that piece of shit they are doing society a great disservice.
  2. Looks awesome
  3. Returning (7): Disu, Hunter*, Cunningham, Anamekwe, Perryman, Bott, Clark Out (6): Carr, Rice, Allen, Bishop, Morris, Brumbaugh In (7): Abmas, Weaver, Sellers*, Rodman*, Onyemi, Shedrick, Prince G Hunter/Sellers/Prince G Abmas/Weaver/Perryman F Rodman/Anamekwe F Disu/Cunningham/Clark F Shedrick/Onyemi/Bott Thats a big lineup short on ball distributors but is a deep talented team that would score a lot and be good on defense.
  4. Whitley and Dubin are both injured as well down in the minors. Brutal.
  5. Starters: Hunter, Abmas, Cunningham, Disu, Shedrick Bench: Weaver, TBD transfer guard who is not on the radar yet, Anamekwe, Onyemi Walk-on’s: Prince, Perryman, Bott, Clark

  7. Returning (6): Disu, Cunningham, Anamekwe, Perryman, Bott, Clark Out (6): Carr, Rice, Allen, Bishop, Morris, Brumbaugh In (5): Abmas, Weaver, Onyemi, Shedrick, Prince TBD (2): Hunter, Mitchell If we get Hunter and Mitchell back, this should be a Sweet 16 team. Up to 4 scholarships left.
  8. In some pretty damned risky territory. We have 5 scholarship players committed, and one of those guys (Anamekwe) projects as a pure bench/complimentary piece. To be a projected Sweet 16 team, we have to add at least 2 premium talents plus another 2 solid contributors. Sure, the 9 player roster posted above looks pretty good. But that would basically mean getting 90% of the talent we are hoping for. Shit is scary. Losing Holland was fucked.
  9. It’s gonna be France and it looks like it’ll only be for 1 start.
  10. I have no faith that they won’t change their policy, but I have been grandfathered into my donation level ($0) since I became a season ticket holder in 2007. My seats now require a $500/seat donation for people just starting out. So in theory buying sooner locks in your donation price so the only price increases would be for the actual ticket prices. But like I said it would not surprise me at all if they tell me to get fucked next season unless I donate the current required amount; they’ve shown they don’t actually gaf about loyalty. Which sucks but I understand.
  11. If they get Weaver and Hunter they will only add 2 more players, likely one defensive minded reserve G who ideally can also handle the ball, and one swing player; Mitchell would be ideal for that 2nd spot. They have 4 walk-ons already lined up so that would make 14 players on the roster. G Hunter*/TBD* G Abmas/Weaver*/Prince G Mitchell*/Anamekwe/Perryman F Disu/Cunningham/Bott F Shedrick/Holland/Clark That roster is arguably as good as the one that just went to the EE.
  12. Just about time for all them silly fucks who were talking shit about Julks, Meyers, Dubon, and Maton to step up and take their medicine.
  13. Of course. Just trying to see my way thru to the possibility of fielding a team close to as talented as this year’s.
  14. Ok, so: Returning (8): Hunter*, Disu, Mitchell*, Cunningham, Anamekwe, Perryman, Clark, Bott Out (6): Carr, Allen, Rice, Bishop, Morris, Brumbaugh In (6): Abmas*, Holland, Weaver*, Shedrick, TBD*, Prince
  15. Disu, Mitchell, Holland, Shedrick, and Cunningham would be on par or better than last season’s forwards. Add Hunter, Abmas, and another quality guard, and Sweet 16 would be a totally reasonable expectation.
  16. Comparing to last year’s roster and assuming we get Abmas and Hunter, I think they’d still be looking for 2 more players (1 backup PG and 1 role player with some size) to account for 30-35 minutes and 10-15 points per game. I am hopeful that Anamekwe can be the 7th or 8th man.
  17. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle the OF. They have 6 guys who seemingly deserve to play everyday and only 4 everyday spots. But who knows how McCormicks injury will affect him, and Meyers is playing very well right now.
  18. Hunter, Abmas, Holland, Disu, and Shedrick is a very solid starting 5 with Cunningham as an excellent 6th man. Hopefully Anamekwe can be a contributor. That’s 7 players. They will still need at least 2 more guys who can play. Not getting Hunter or Abmas would be devastating.
  19. Bannon goes down first when Brantley comes back. When Altuve comes back I think they’ll send down Salazar and Diaz will shift into a traditional backup C role. When McCormick comes back it’ll be either Julks or Hensley. One thing to note is that Julks did see quite a bit of time at 3B in AAA last season, and can probably handle 1B when Abreu needs a rest once every 10 games. For now the way Julks is playing, you can’t send him down. A bench of McCormick (CF/RF), Dubon (SS/2B/3B), Diaz (C) and Julks (LF/1B/DH) is pretty sick.
  20. Agree with all this, although I do think that last round of stimulus pushed thru was overkill, and said so at the time. But I agree the main mistake was assuming inflation was transitory (and I was guilty of that too). And I agree that labor shortages are due to demographics, not laziness, so they’re here to stay. I am not sure how decoupling from China is gonna play out and there’s a lot of geopolitical unknowns hanging out there, but there’s also a lot of reason for optimism.
  21. Hunter, Abmas, Holland, Cunningham, and Disu is a solid enough starting 5. Anamekwe and 2-3 other transfer role players would be enough to expect a tourney berth.
  22. Is this being strategized by matching roster positions with funding sources? I would assume offensive skill positions can be funded by corporate $, which only leaves TE, OL, defense, and special teams to be funded by BMDs and fan collectives. It sure seems like schools building endowments for their roster rather than living Hand to mouth will benefit greatly long term.
  23. I think Solis is on a relief track now, but he could be a good one. His goal for this season should just be to stay healthy and put himself in a position to need Rule 5 protection in the fall. That would put him on track to compete for a bullpen spot next spring (or more likely be trade bait).
  24. Yes. He has been paired with Jairo Solis who is listed as tonight’s starter.
  25. VERY different players. One was a 300 pound lazy ass who didn’t like baseball but was incredibly naturally gifted so he went ahead and did it until it got hard then he quit. Julks is a plus athlete who grinded his way thru the minors and has some defensive and baserunning value to buffer his bat.
