  1. This is right I think. So, 5 runs is the max lead to get a save if the guy doesn't go 3 innings.
  2. Almost a guarantee that the challenge system will be in place for the 26 baseball season.
  3. Love that Hader allowed every base runner he inherited to score because fuck Turd Ferguson.
  4. We are cutting work and school on Friday and I’m taking my 9 year old daughter to the indoor water park in round rock on Friday and then we will go some in the morning after check out- get to Bevo Blvd around 4 and her first game will be seeing #1 ranked Texas in person. Pretty cool.
  5. Letting something become a nagging thing to play against ULM seems dumb. I’ve never heard anyone have anything particularly good to say about Ewers senior. If he’s stage managing Quinn’s career he’s doing a weird/poor job of it.
  6. Pete Thamel is the national guy that’s the Ewers family mouthpiece right? Arch getting ULM as the starter is a really good thing for the program. Any more games missed by Quinn is bad for the program It’s good for us if Ewers goes to NY and goes high in the first round which he needs to play to do. it’s good for us if Arch gets just enough run to legitimately advance his development but goes into next year with 1 start and maybe 100 passes. That makes him way more likely to stay 2 years as a starter regardless of how well next year goes for him. Also- there’s the fact that we know Ewers can get it done against really good defenses and we merely suspect Arch might be able to. for those saying Quinn couldn’t get Wally Pipped a 4-6 week injury that saw Arch beat OU and Georgia would probably do that. That being said it’s good news that it doesn’t look like that’s the case.
  7. No help incoming from the Arlington flukes either. Gonna have to take the magic number down to single digits by our lonesome.
  8. Great. Shit Head Buckner behind the plate doing shit head Buckner things punching out Tucker on bullshit off the plate and low.
  9. Man- if we get there within 3 it will be fun. Thats not a tough hill to climb.
  10. It’s ULM. Coming off UTSA. Got to deal with the material you were given. He’ll- the game isn’t even on TV (espn 3+ or something like that) if people want to really bitch about something.
  11. Looks like we get most of their best pitchers? They don’t get the JV bye. Or blanco. Those are the two weakest links in our 6 man staff right now I think (unless Arrighetti has his monthly blow up), so cool cool cool- let’s just win today and then go 6-1 or 5-2 at worst next week headed into the Seattle series. That should bring us within striking distance of Cleveland in the last week since we finish with them. Cleveland has: 1 with the Rays today 4 with Minnesota 3 @ STL 2 home with reds I’m going to be optimistic and predict 4-6 for them in those 10 games I’m going to furthermore be optimistic and predict 8-3 for us heading into that series. Cleveland 89-70 Houston- 88-81 That would mean if we won 2/3 we’d finish at 90-72 and have the tiebreaker on them and the 2 seed. We’d also, under that scenario, need the Royals to go 8-5 or worse. 10-4 finishing kick boys- that should get it done. I wouldn’t mind erasing all doubt with 14-0 I suppose
  12. Hey kicked UAB’s ass running the same play over and over and over.
  13. He was back and making a pass breakup the next series. Whatever it was didn’t matter.
  14. Had this nailed pretty well. Mid 50’s to 1 score and all 3 QB’s play and throw for yards. Not going to win but off by 5 total points (1 for us and 4 for them) is pretty good. Will regulate Monday at work as per normal unless someone wants to do it now.
  15. Welp, sorry Quinn. I think I accidentally manifested this injury onto you. Hope it isn’t serious and you are back 100% against OU at the latest. Hopefully Mississippi State. I was texting with a friend and we started asking the question- if Quinn could get hurt and miss the ULM game, with no repercussions further on into the year, would that be a good thing. Really- I was thinking more like running a 103 degree fever or something that went away after 24 or 48 hours. We decided it wouldn’t be bad (we are throttling ULM with a surlyite playing QB) and it would give Arch real gametime reps to learn and grow with, and probably let Trey Owens get his feet wet. Looks like that is going to happen. Let’s just hope and pray this is a one week thing and Quinn is back to make his run at the Heisman and 1/1 overall fully healthy as the schedule turns to October. Quinn was awesome before he went out other than a bad throw where I suspect based upon body language and mannerisms he had no feeling in his thumb. He comes out and Arch comes in and scores TD’s on 2 out of his first 3 plays. Not bad. ULM is a very bad football team. We are going to beat them by half a hundred regardless of who plays. Mississippi State is a bad football team- we will beat them by half a hundred if we play well, or 2 or 3 TD’s if we don’t. We are at the most boring part of the schedule right now where we basically have 4 byes between Michigan and OU. That’s important time to work on ourselves, get young guys reps, become a team that doesn’t fuck around and plays to a standard, and avoid injuries that will hurt you against tougher competition. If Quinn is ok when October rolls around, Blue has his juice back Banks is fine (he came back in I’m sure he is) and we’ve gotten backups key reps to get them better than this part of the schedule will have done its job. Game week stuff for ULM here. Hook em High like and eagle soars and maintain focusness. One time, 100 years ago I’m sure ULM kept it within 2 scores of some regional hegemon so Bill in Sinton would smell this threat out from a mile away.
  16. We could basically be done with this division of the Rangers could hold onto a 4 run lead and not get walked off the next day. It’s a bit irritating. 27 games left (14 for us and 13 for them) and magic number of 10. We go 7-7 and they’d need to go 11-2 to beat us. Not likely to happen. we have 8 games between here and that series against the Angels and Padres. If we go 6-2 there’s a good chance Seattle (7 games left during that time with rangers and Yankees) will be eliminated before they even get to town. That would be nice and funny. 6-2 also likely puts us in range to be able to run down Cleveland with a sweep in the last series of the year. If we’d have won that extra inning abortion against the A’s of if the rangers could hold on to a simple 4 run lead the math would be super grim for Seattle.
  17. I don’t live with my mom. Joking. Whoever it was wasn’t me.
  18. You can thank me. I got rid of my direct tv Wednesday and missed the shit back from the fed ex store on Thursday. Almost guaranteed this was getting worked out now. I think it’s the message I left for the direct tv ceo that did the trick. the lady in retention was laughing as I was talking about all the terrible things I wish would happen to him for taking away my college football last two weekends.
  19. If singleton starts against a LHP Espada should get kicked in the nuts. He can have every start against RHP if he wants. best 9 against RHP of Framber or Nrown is on the mound (strikeout and ground ball guys) Altuve, Alvarez (LF), Bregman, Tucker, Diaz (catcher) singleton (1B), Caratini (DH) Pena, Heyward (CF). Heyward played there a fair bit last year, a little this year and the Astros put him in last week, so he’s probably fine with a strikeout/ground ball guy on the mound for us. Wouldn’t want him out there with Kikuchi or JV. Meyers to play defense after we get a lead or Heyward has his last AB, whichever comes first. against LHP: Altuve, Alvarez, Bregman, Tucker, Diaz, Pena, whitcomb (1B), meyers, Dubon (LF). if Chas is back he plays LF and Dubon plays 1B against LHP. I think that’s our best 9 both ways.
  20. I had some professional dealings with them once upon a time where we leased a building of theirs when I ran a title company. They sent a lease, I negotiated some changes, his person agreed to then, everyone signed, he called up and screamed at me afterwards- it was truly bizarre.
