  1. Until he goes on the injured list again in a week. but yeah, he has to be on the IL or 26 man all year or we lose him. I sort of suspect the injury this time around was bullshit and they used it to stash him for a while longer. Maybe I’m being paranoid.
  2. No smith in the lineup so we can get Caratini and Dubon in there. Nice! now that they got rid of Scott we are a du on trade and Brandon Rodgers release away from Espada proofing this motherfuker.
  3. I referred back with want because I was directly answering him- who said he thinks this might be what Trump wants. That’s the only reason I spoke about it in that sense. so far inflation is going down even 1.5 months after “liberation day”. Last quarter inflation was 1.5% and that is with shelter being dumbly higher than it should be. There’s no US legislation coming down the pipeline that’s going to be more involved in creating debt than we already have. Thats because, other than reconciliation there is no legislation that’s going to happen. I don’t think spending gets worked back much in reconciliation but they aren’t expanding spending in a major way. As far as “the tax cuts” go all they are doing is extending what we were already doing and taking a practical approach to tips (it’s not worth cost both financial and credibility wise) to try to collect that small amount of money from tipped employees. That’s small ball. We’ve been living under (basically) the tax regime for 7 years- reconciliation isn’t going to blow up receipts in that sense.
  4. Maybe one or two of them. Trump wants interest rates lower yesterday. He’s a builder and a debtor. Those guys fundamentally are oriented to wanting low interest rates.
  5. We are stuck like chuck and it doesn’t matter how low inflation gets or how shitty the job picture looks market be all like “no soup for you”.
  6. 2 great Framber starts in a row. his first 8 games last year are almost an exact mirror image of his first 8 games this year. Then he ripped off really freaking awesome performances for the rest of the year. if that goes like last year and Hunter Brown stays really good, even if not completely dominant this team will win a shitload of games.
  7. Headed to the top like a rocket ship to the moon!
  8. We talked about this on the pod last night. Offense after a good last 14 days has gotten back to an average ops+.
  9. Freaking dude is awesome and irritating to play against. 9th imo.
  10. Yep. In my opinion there isn't a below average hitter (with Yordan back) in that lineup (except maybe Meyers) nor a super easy out. There's not a ton of world beaters so Yordan has to be Yordan, but 1 freaking amazing hitter- 4 or 5 good hitters and 3 average hitters should score some runs.
  11. It’s probably the best lineup they could field with whose available.
  12. I mean, Cam Smith needs to play every day (ish) or spend at least 3 or 4 weeks in Sugar Land (maybe 3 or 4 months) so we get another year of club control out of him (3 or 4 weeks) or we keep him not as super 2 (3 or so months would do that trick). It happened with Tucker.
  13. That lineup from Espada. Dubon st 2B, Rodgers at DH while Cam, Chas and Caratini sit is certainly a choice. it’s like he’s tryin to get fired. Fuck I hate that clown. At least Dusty told good stories and brought banana pudding to Chas.
  14. That's true, but it still sounds funny. We will have more wins than Okies have teeth though.
  15. Less wins than teeth is the pithiest and best of those choices.
  16. Do you even Caldwell bro? They had a place that used to sell dirt cheap snuff there that I always stopped at when on the road from College Station to Austin.
  17. Half the years they miss out on an extra home game. the biggest sec pussies right now play 8 home games. Those home games are probably worth somewhere around 5 or 6M dollars a game in tix and another couple million in concessions and other shit. That’s offset by paying 2 million or so to the sacrificial lamb. So/ if you go to 9 games then some years you have 8 home games (3 OOC and 5 of the 9 on conference) but some years you only have 7 home games (3 out of conference and only 4 out of 9 ion conference) you treated every year the same (and that’s true on getting the extra 6M in tv money, but in the years where they have one less home games they lose a net 4M on gate and concessions, meaning it’s only an extra million or two that year, while the year they have 8 home games in a 9 game SEC schedule it’s more like 10M windfall. I think that’s right but I didn’t say you are wrong, as I might be missing something in my calculations or being dumb.
  18. I don’t understand your math here. That seems like the math for the year you don’t lose a home game- the other year you lose a home game worth roughly 4 or 5M net bringing that down to something like an extra 1M is all every other year, right? Or am I being dumb and missing something? so/ it averages out to an extra 4M a year is all. I could see plenty of schools thinking that wasn’t worth the chance at. It making a bowl. This is a conference full of morons that talk shit and are actually pussies. They should have welcomed aggy better than they did because that’s certainly their MO.
  19. They paid way more of Presley’s salary the. They needed to in order to get that guy. They also tried to get him in the Cam Smith deal. There is something about him that the pitching staff liked, so, I have high hopes. The Astros clearly have a different way of doing things pitching development wise, nice to see him have that really solid outing. I’ve got moderately high hopes for him as a A guy.
  20. Also, seeing Jake make a great catch coming in yesterday was interesting. He runs some balls in the gao like crazy. He’s a really good OF. But, he’s got his glove on 2 balls in the last week that he hasn’t caught. Oth of them on the warning track running back towards the wall. He is absolutely terrified of the wall. I get it. It messed up his career big time. But, it literally cost us the game on Monday a day after Dezenzo dropping a pretty easy fly ball cost us the game Sunday. 3 losses, both with the catchable balls not being caught directly not ending innings and leading to 4 and 3 runs respectively in 1 run losses. Really frustrating because 20-16 feels so much better than 18-18.
  21. 70 wins? dude, step away from the ledge.
  22. Yeah but it was more of a show pitch than his out pitch as I recall. He always went soft to try to k people/ fastball was to keep them off balance.
  23. Dezenzo should be in the lineup every day. So should Cam. It's really easy to do with Yordan out. Play altuve at 2b when Yordan gets back if both those guys look like they deserve AB's. This is not that hard. Espada makes everything harder (and dumber) than it needs to be. That 5th inning with 2 runs on 0 hits was sexy. We apparently need more rank incompentence from our opponents to score.
  24. Espada needs to be fired into the sun. I’m aware he didn’t likely call either of those bunts but he’s created an atmosphere where that dumbassery can happen.
