  1. SEC- Texas Big 10- Ohio State Big 12- Utah ACC- NC State Others in the playoffs- Georgia, Bama, Ole Miss, Michigan, Oregon, Notre Dame, Ok. State, Liberty Through after the first round of playoffs- Oregon, Georgia, Bama, Notre Dame Through to the semis- Texas, ohio state, Georgia, Oregon Texas over ohio state That was probably stupid to list them all out as if I knew what the seeding was going to be to know where match ups were going were. If we were scoring this I would suggest 1 point for every team in the 12 that gets in and an additional 1 point for picking the team that got the bye correctly.
  2. I think how you need to look at it is this- we are one back of Cleveland. That's not a big deal. Their schedule is pretty tough- as tough as ours. Make up one game on them over the next 5.5 weeks and then go sweep their asses for the bye. Is that really probable? Probably not. But we also sort of control our own destiny with that, so there's that I guess.
  3. My wife got to see me do the told you so dance. she’s always like “well, you and Habib say it’s all bull shit but my take on the economy is…” and away she goes until I tell her to go make me a sandwich.
  4. My dad has a TBI. He’s like an autistic 4 year old. He pisses and shits himself all the time. I’d let dad fill out the lineup card before I let Dusty do it. Espada is probably marginally better at in game decision making. Marginally.
  5. He couldn’t take 3 cuts and then fuck right off in the game winning situation?
  6. Oooof. Sub to k/BB should be a deal breaker for a reliever.
  7. No idea what you are trying to say here or if you are making a joke and I’m too dumb for it to land. Spell it out like I eat paint chips.
  8. No worries. Every month I posted the stuff about the jobs report being nonsense that habib posted and a certain segment told me how dumb that was. Ok. Take 60k jobs off every month and let’s have those conversations again.
  9. 818k that didn’t exist. What nonsense did that do the last 12 months. Fed cuts should have happened before. So aggravating.
  10. Cleveland scored 6 in the top of the 12.
  11. Hell- he still might. Let’s get really hot! and now, Ort with his first bad outcome of the year that mattered.
  12. Maybe. We didn’t exactly lose 4 close ones to the Rangers but he was also better with defense and pitchers. I wouldn’t rule it out at all. I’d really rather we not see turd Ferguson here. Maybe he can go scoreless 2 in a row.
  13. I loved Marisnick. What a perfect baseball player (if you ignore the fact that hit tool is like 50% of a players value).
  14. He can play CF every day on a really good team (as long as he bats 9!).
  15. He can bunt 0-2 next time in that situation as far as I’m concerned.
  16. Yeah- for sure. He was getting worse and he's getting at an age where I think it makes sense to go year by year with him and look a lot more at last years stats than the year before. On balance he was really good for us. I also thought we parted ways at the right time with him.
  17. That's a weird organization that I don't think knows what they want to do or who they are. It's a big market team always looking to shed money and a team that should have been sellers 2 of the last 3 years and then inexplicably bought (sort of) this year. I don't get what they are doing over there.
  18. You are right- that was overstating with smoke and mirrors. He walked 4 guys per 9 and only struck out 10 which is really good for a starter but meh for a back end reliever. Just felt like every close game the bases would be loaded with 0 or 1 out before he'd wiggle off the hook. His fip was 3.83 so that's not bad. By comparison Abreu's is 3.4 this year and Presley is 3.05, fwiw. Hader 3.27. Scott 3.94. Dubin 3.5. We've got 5 guys this year who the numbers say are pitching better than or as good as he did last year by that metric at least.
  19. Hector Neris had just fine numbers for us last season. It was all smoke and mirrors and a merry go round on the bases. Never got the fascination with the idea of bringing either him or Maton back. No idea where Maton is or how he's doing. Probably will cost me an immaculate grid square some day.
  20. Fun episode. we talk current astros, playoff race, pitching and Hunter Brown specifically. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0xd63wa9t4uI8WSof6A2Kj?si=RcR8ruR7Rh2NIcwXRlluBg
