Ok/ just got this for my 12 year old on his birthday. He’s got $160 to spend. Anyone do the play station plus subscription model? With the 160 for premium? Are the games good? anything I should know as a dad about this? thanks, I will hang up and listen.

Thats basically what I’m doing with the occasional, well, you know you will be able to get in since they allow everyone sprinkled in so that it’s challenging her to do better implicitly.

My 13 year old has been telling me she’s going to attend aggy for a year. I am ok with that. 1) she’s definitely not my favorite and kind of irritating. So, she can just continue to irritate me into perpetuity when she does all that weird aggy shit 2) I no longer have to pay any attention to what she’s up to in school, because she can fog a mirror so she’s definitely getting in. 3) I don’t have to worry about her graduating since if you can get in and are not a total and complete dumbass you are graduating/ so I’m not likely to flush 50-80k down the drain and have her not end up with a degree on the other end 4) I want grandkids and I want to be around to see them. She will probably get married at 23 and start popping out Kyle’s and Kyler’s at 25 or 26, so even though they will be aggy I will at least know that my blood line continues on into this world. 5) I won’t have to worry about her moving outside of Texas because what the fucking odds of that happening. Now, I’m not saying I would choose this life path for her, but I’m going to go ahead and make the best of it I guess. it’s likely she will find someone who makes 85k a year while she teaches school or something and I won’t have to financially support her into my old age.

Yeah he’s no higher than 5th (that should be exactly where he is) on the leverage list. If he’s pitching in an important situation it should be when we are behind by 1 or 2 runs in the 6th or 7th. That’s about as important as it should get.

I am tired of seeing turd Ferguson and Dubin on the 26 when Whitley hasn’t given up a run sugar land in 2 months or however long his 16 appearance scoreless streak is.

It’s hard to describe how a team this good can have a lineup this bad.

This will never happen. No worries.

To your point about it being unlikely but not out of reach I’m not sure this team has actually gotten hot or lucky to speak of on any particular run. And the health hasn’t been great. If we are a true talent 630 win team (more or less 100 wins) as I think we might be, and we get hot, we might fuck around and play 750 or 800 ball in September like this kind of teams usually do for a month.

Winning Heisman is never a bad thing for a program or the player it happens for. It would be cool is all I’m saying but it’s not a be all end all obviously.

If everyone is pitching well? Stick to the 6 man rotation in September. We don’t have anyone good enough that we just have to have them starting every 5th day, in comparison to there being no weak pitchers at the bottom of the order. Unless Arrighetti leaks oil, or Blanco just hits a wall (his velo was fine last start) or JV sucks or something like that. But otherwise just throw all 6 out there until you can’t due to performance. I wouldn’t hate- if you want to get back to a 5 man rotation, a piggyback start every 5th day of kikichi and Arrighetti or Blanco and Arrighetti and say the bullpen gets the day off today- that’s yalls job. And it could be an audition for the playoffs as well.

I had him Thursday there and Wednesday against Boston for my ideal.

Agreed. When I said Blanco has been better than him this year that’s a factually correct statement up to this point in time, but I don’t believe Blanco is a better pitcher. So- that makes him 4 or 5 depending upon how you feel about Arrighetti. It’s impossible to say who I would rather see pitch game 4 of an ALCS right now as betweeen the two.

I don’t want him pitching before Valdez, Brown or JV. Blanco has been better than him this year. Arrighetti might or might not be preferable- asking 6 weeks. Unless JV sucks when he gets back we probably have 6 guys that you’d be fine penciling in to start a playoff game. Or Arrighetti turns back into a pumpkin. I don’t think he will. He’s legit good I think.

Yeah I didnt phrase that quite right. I think there were some people hoping on him coming into this year and pegging him as a guy that they thought was going to break out into being a legit prospect by mastering AA ball and announcing himself and that didn’t happen, obviously. 24 isn’t old for AA in general but it’s old for someone regarded as a legit prospect for sure.

Probably need a different thread title if they go to 105 scholarships. I have no good idea for an edit right now.

He’s had a really rough year and killed a ton of his prospect stock, right? Here’s hoping he figured something out.

Thanks man!

Honestly, we need to put Abreu, Presley and Hader all on the 15 day DL (separate times) and just deal with that before the playoffs. All have been over thrown by a fair bit and could use the time on the shelf.

WE have 3 scholarship RB's. Hes getting more than 5-10 touches in a bunch of games.

So dumb. So we can get Singleton more AB's? Ugh. Call up Whitcomb if that's where we are at.

You can't run for 1000 or catch 1000 unless you have done it before. I see absolutely no problem in that logic...

I mean- yeah I guess. I don't really care all that much about the total overall program wins (you are right- the last decade has been brutal) I just want to move the needle on total championships and add 3 Heisman trophy's along the way or something like that. Lets start with 1 of each this year and move that needle.

Smart was winning an auction format with very few participants and he had the biggest bank account. It's not at all a surprise to me to see them get taken down a peg or two in an above board auction situation. I fully expect we eclipse them as a program very soon (maybe this year) in the SEC, the same way I've been predicting the demise of Alabraska for 2 or 3 years. But, if they could just turn into a smoking crater while being scorned and ridiculed by the college football world that would be absolutely fantastic. I'm ready for a world where the powers are Texas, Michigan, Domers, with a little Miami and Oregon mixed in. Basically other than Oregon you have crazy ass Miami which is always sort of fun and the only 3 blue bloods that refused to cheat rampantly when basically college football recruiting became overrun with the bag game and you saw programs cut corners and be handsomely rewarded for it.

Here is what I'm hearing (and this is not from @Scipio who yall know I advertise with- I wouldn't burn him for obvious reasons). Was told I could post it as long as it's unsourced... Cook has the drops and its bad Bond is a total and complete dumb dumb Ewers loves Moore, Golden and Bolden- but the problem is they all really play the same position Wingo is our best receiver and it's not particularly close- but he needs to learn how to play all the positions so he can fit in where the other guys aren't- he can be a difference maker anywhere. Niblack is an absolute freak and impossible to guard The Baxter injury is going to be a real problem for this team (and that was before Christian Clark went down). That's it- that's what I got. The Cook part was very surprising to me. I know they like Gunner Helm so maybe we are going to see a lot more 2 TE's, 1 RB and 2 WR action than we originally thought. My guess on that would be Wingo and Golden/Bolden as the WR's we end up going to in that package. Maybe some more empty as well with the plague of RB's lost for the season.

Here is the exception officially from MLB- I didn't say it quite right, but it's not a hard thing to meet: A player who doesn't meet said criteria for postseason eligibility can still be added to a team's roster in the postseason via petition to the Commissioner's Office if the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing someone who is on the injured list and has served the minimum amount of time required for activation. (For example, a player on the 10-day injured list who has been on it for at least 10 days, or a player who has been on the 60-day injured list for at least 60 days.) Players who are acquired in September or after are ineligible.
