  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. It’s hard to describe how a team this good can have a lineup this bad.
  6. This will never happen. No worries.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I had him Thursday there and Wednesday against Boston for my ideal.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Probably need a different thread title if they go to 105 scholarships. I have no good idea for an edit right now.
  15. He’s had a really rough year and killed a ton of his prospect stock, right? Here’s hoping he figured something out.
  16. 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.
  17. WE have 3 scholarship RB's. Hes getting more than 5-10 touches in a bunch of games.
  18. So dumb. So we can get Singleton more AB's? Ugh. Call up Whitcomb if that's where we are at.
  19. You can't run for 1000 or catch 1000 unless you have done it before. I see absolutely no problem in that logic...
  20. 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.
  21. No idea. I was never excited about either of those guys, but had Scrub on there because I remember him pitching for the Astros.
  22. I think Mo Blackwell and David Gbenda and maybe even Vernon Broughton have all contributed too much already to really and truly be Gaskamp guys. It's basically Juan Davis. If Juan wins it this year- in the age of the portal- we might have to retire the award because it might not ever be given out again.
  23. I said Texas would surpass them as a program (check) and eventually all that other stuff would wear them down and they wouldn't be Alabama anymore. It took Texas 10 years or so to ruin Nebraska. I expect the time line will be similar for Bama. I'd be happy to make a bet with you that over the next decade Bama will be barely a top 10 program or maybe even lower if looked at from 2023-2033).
  24. That's not all bad. More Wingo going to be a super star. More- TE position is going to be a real position of strength. Quinn is really comfortable with 4 receivers. That's not on balance a bad update. The guy who gave it to me shades very pessimistic too, so there's that.
