Cam Smith with an AB that was 10 times better than Altuve and Yordan. I’m sick of the Yordan that sucks shit through a straw.

I mean, he's certainly not helping in any way. He's been every bit as shitty as anyone would have reasonably expected him to be. The problem is Yordan, Yainer and Walker weren't expected to be shitty and they are. Difference is- those 3 will (should) stop being shitty, whereas Dubon probably wont. But yeah- it's not his fault skipper dumb dumb gives him too many AB's.

Fair point. You could also, I’m pretty sure, play Dezenzo at 2B or DH on days Altuve played 2B and Yordan played in LF if you wanted to. He has enough positional flexibility (4 corners plus could probably handle occasionally 2B, plus DH) that you certainly didn’t need to go 14 days between starts which is where we were at.

False. I predicted Hunter brown cy young. it is known that Whitley will have to settle for ROY this year before becoming cy young next year and mvp in 27.

That was a damn nice first inning of the year for Whitley. His stuff is good. It’s why I have stupidly kept the faith.

Glad we could start this inning off with a walk.

No- that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying I don’t think he’s that bad a baseball player as what his results currently show.

About time Christian Walker. I don’t think he’s that bad.

Eh- give him another year. Hes young for the level, he walks a ton, he’s got high athletic upside, plays a premium up the middle defensive position and he’s got plenty of thump for extra base power, all while hitting the ball hard. I don’t particularly believe in his hit tool and I’d bet against him being a stud/star, but it’s way too early to say that definitively. he struggled some in AA last year, I believe, before lighting the league on fire toward the end of like 850 type ops in a very tough league for hitters in the Texas league. he’s probably my favorite everyday prospect that’s not a teenager, but that’s damning with faint praise in this system. I love like 5 or 6 pitching prospects in the system and wouldn’t be surprised if we graduated a cy young type, a fringe all star type, and a half dozen MOR/BOR from our system right now.

Life is good and we are about to start racking up win after win after win.

I mean, Altuve isn’t good (defensively) at 2B. Like, he was probably the worst 2B in all of baseball last year (defensively).

Let’s just say I don’t expect the season to end that way.

Fucking fatass maldy with a terrible passed ball. So glad he’s not our problem anymore. Yordan without a single base knock in the 1st inning is fun.

Arrighetti on the bump- feeling good. Oh. Well. Anyway.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
He wasn’t playing tackle here or even first tackle off the bench with Banks, Jones and Williams. I’d say you got the guy that probably had the best post Texas career in the portal era.

2025 NFL Draft
1/2 the 6th round picks make a roster in year 1, 20% make it to year 3. That’s why 6th round makes sense. If he’s not in jail he’s on the team. He’s got no record and he’s got money- I’d think he’d be able to work something out but I haven’t gotten past the headlines so no real idea.

Can smith had a good day Sunday so he hits 7th Monday. Takes the collar Monday so he hits 8th today. Smart stuff from that big dummy.

I would think he would represent very real value and risk reward at the 6th round level at the latest.

So excited to go to the SEC with these Tennessee assholes
The dumb thing about Texas and Meyer not working out b/c of the bag game infrastructure was that we already had the word NIL/the portal was going to be a thing (hadn't happened yet but was known) and it should have been an absolute non-issue for Urban. Uh, dude, we are going to kill it in the transfer portal man, there's no concern there. And then we did after Sark's first year. If he would have had a shred of foresight he'd have happily taken the job, but then again if he had that he wouldn't have taken a shitty Jags job, got fired inside a year and finger banged a 6 in public and made himself a laughing stock, so, dodged that bullet I guess. I wasn't sure if Urban went dirty at Florida from a money standpoint but he clearly did from a program standpoint. I excepted him b/c that whole thing seemed to me like an aberration from them during his time there, especially compared to the rest of their conference bretheren. Thanks for the color.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
I think in a theoretical world where he wasn't a diva, sure. But that wasn't how it worked out in real life so i'm pretty sure either the door wasn't open for him to return or we didn't do anything to keep him from walking out said door. There are some guys that played fine elsewhere that we kept, but I really don't recall a time where we lost a guy the coaches wanted and none of what's being brought up here counts.

I know you don't mean it literally when you say every SEC school other than Vandy, but was Florida ever a real player in the bag game? I thought they pretty much sat that out, outside of Urban, but maybe that was wrong and I was dumb to buy into the myth of Spurrier running a clean-ish program and the guys after him not really playing that game.
