  1. He was also a freshman. A lot of average defenders struggle as freshmen because they have never had a true position. They play SS for their high school team but 2B, 3B, and OF for their travel teams. They never consistently play the same position until college. I bet he is much improved defensively this year. That doesn't mean he will ever be great defensively though.
  2. Yeah, Contreras wasn't who I was hoping for and is a little light hitting for my tastes at first. But, he is miles better than what we had last year. He should bring stability and a solid presence to the lineup. I haven't watched him a lot recently so I'm not really sure how his approach will do at Fenway.
  3. We got Willson Contreras for Hunter Dobbins and a couple of minor league pitchers. It's certainly an upgrade at first base but not as much of a power hitter as I would have liked. I don't have a problem with sending Dobbins over as I think he is in a logjam here. He definitely showed some promise but he was never going to be a front of the rotation player. I still think we have 3 areas of weakness that need to be addressed. Power hitting from the DH position is my main area of concern. I would like someone who is a threat for 30+ HRs there. A true #2 starter would be next. Lastly think we could use a couple of extra bullpen arms, but so does everyone else.
  4. I thought PK did a pretty fantastic job in Austin with a few glaring weaknesses. I think those weaknesses would have continued to hold us back against the better teams. His bend but don't break style of defense works great against most everyone when you have a talent advantage. We had the talent advantage in all but a couple of games a year, the games we typically lost. Georgia consistently beat his ass because they didn't have to be perfect, they could consistently move the ball against him even if things didn't go perfect. Against a team like Georgia you need to be able to move then backwards, not just hold the line. PK was never going to put them in tough positions because he was too conservative to do so. Muschamp should be much better at this.
  5. I think that is a given for literally every single baseball team at every level.
  6. Seems like a really good add at this stage of the offseason.

    Didn't he get injured?
  8. txhorns started following 2026 Texas Baseball
  9. This is a physician in Wichita Falls? Damn I wish I knew which one so I could fuck with him.
  10. He posted an hour before the game started. Plenty of time to get the threesome in and still watch the game. Plus these occasions are exactly what halftime is for.
  11. Upstairs? I love Texas football as much as anyone but this seems like your chance at a threesome.
  12. Miller wasn't the best hire. He was a comfortable hire, both as a coach and financially.
  13. ASU's last possession was just atrocious defense by Texas. You have to hedge the pg with the ball and force him to pass the ball. You can't let him throw up even a contested three. A three beats you, a two sends you to overtime. Make someone else make a play even if it costs you overtime.
  14. We got Sonny Gray today. Not a bad pickup but not a blockbuster. Gave up Richard Fitts and Brandon Clarke for him. He should slot in as our 3/4th starter and fills item number 4 on my wish list above. A good addition to the rotation for a long season but not a game changer in the playoffs. Hopefully our rotation looks like this come Opening Day. Crochet Yet tbd #2 SP Bello Gray Early/Tolle/Dobbins/Houck I think Bello, Tolle or Early could become that #2 pitcher we need behind Crochet but I wouldn't count on it heading into the season.
  15. Maybe Dirks can give us the nudes since you're being a pussy about it.
