Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

I like where I am at.

Good Lord, does this mean you're going to Georgia too?

We need @Catbone for basketball season. He’s our good luck charm!

 

[drvenner]

I agree. I Don’t believe In momentum from game to game in baseball.

my thinking is if the dodgers win today they will Have May and Kershaw the next two days against vastly inferior pitchers. Then I just don’t think friend and Anderson pitched as well as their result in games 1/2. They threw a boat load of pitches and wiggled out of a lot of Jams.


Game 3 is the series imo

Maybe. Kershaw has been mediocre to bad in his postseason career. If Fried is on, he is close to unhittable.

 

[drvenner]

That is strange. @Catbone doesn't appear when trying to tag him.

Edit: hasn't posted since Saturday at about 6:50.

He was really caustic in the game thread and and when people started calling him out, he said he was out.

 

[pismonque]

Did Smoltz say something about it?

Here were the pitch counts in the 9th:

Betts single on 1-2 count
Seager double on 0-1 count
Muncy HR on 2-0 count
Smith reached on error 0-2 count
Bellinger triple on 0-1 count
Pollock final out on 0-1 count (swung at first pitch, too)

Not sure if that’s more aggressive or not. It seemed like it, but maybe not.

I think it’s probably less about specifically running up pitch counts than just controlling the strike zone and having the discipline not to chase or expand the zone out of an urge to press or be aggressive. Ideally that has the double benefit of getting to swing at better pitches (pitcher mistakes or just pitches that are more suited to your strengths) and running up the pitch count. Smith and Muncy are really good at that, Turner historically as well.

Mein gott!

Friend won’t pitch until game 6 will he?

As far as Kershaw goes I think the post season issues in the past were two fold. One he was tired after long years with a lot of innings and two Roberts blew it using him out of the pen on short rest which is dumb. This year those won’t be the case which leave the back spasms as the only issue for him imo

Our game thread we have is much more level-headed

Meaning: It's only 9.6 on a 10 scale, instead of 11.

 

[bignewt]

I like where I am at.

If I liked Danielson I'd have to take a too hot shower and scrub scrub scrub

 

[bignewt]

Oh no! Tell him to come back! He’s negative Nancy but he’s OUR negative Nancy!

Meh, his act was tired. He will resurface as dawgbone on the UGA boards.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Real short leash.

Interesting quote from JG I found from Ubben's UGA article on Monday:
“I’m sick to my stomach,” Guarantano said. “This was one of my last opportunities to (play against) Georgia, and I couldn’t get the job done with the win. I wish I could take some things back and we could go win this game and fix some things. But the game is over.”
Notice "one of my last" and the plural "opportunities". He's coming back, folks.

I'm 50/50 on him. He makes some good analyses, but then turns around and says idiotic stuff. I much prefer Todd Blackledge or Greg McElroy, but I think most of the commentators with ESPN/SECN straight up suck.

 

[drvenner]

Alright.. I haven't visited since the third quarter on Saturday.

Is everyone okay? Has the dust settled and is everyone thinking (relatively) clearly again? I'm already seeing where Catbone has committed seppuku..

It's seems unlikely that the NFL will come calling. He retains a final year of eligibility. He loves playing. Why wouldn't he come back?

Now whether he is the starting QB or not is a different question. Hopefully. Please.

You know what was some bullchit? Whenever Cade was getting into stance and got called for a false start. I went from fuming to volcanic.

He can stay as a back up. Pretty sure JT and Maurer will transfer once they turn it over to Bailey. And with Salter being the only QB this year, we will need some QB’s.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Mullen actually said this: “I certainly apologize if I offended anyone out there” and said he meant he wanted BHGS packed at whatever capacity health officials allow.

I’m sure he also did this:

Wow. Seems extreme.

Yes, yes it is.

A level-headed game thread?!?

I like damn ok, but he is a wuss when it comes to the physicality of the game. And he says some really stupid stuff.

Back in 2015 during the UGA, Hurd had a long run where at the end he lowered his shoulder and trucked a UGA DB, Instead of commenting on Hurd's power, damn instead says that the NCAA really should consider looking at targeting penalties when an RB lowers his shoulder and hits a DB...of course, he nevee bothered to explain how a defender going in for the tackle would be considered 'defenseless' since he wasn't blindsided.

During the 2016 UF game in the 4th qtr, on a Hurd run that started about the UF 25 and ended up inside the UF 5, where a moving pile moved Hurd the last 4-5 yards damn said the NCAA really needed to address blowing the whistle dead rather than allow a moving pile.

I get that he is thinking about player safety, but if damn had his way players would wear bubble wrap and tackling would be disallowed as the game transitioned to flag football.

Also in that 2016 UF game when Rashon Gaulden goaded the UF WR into throwing a half azz punch at him and then flopped, damn freaks out and goes on this tangent about 'that is not a part of our game' as if that is the first time a DB has ever goaded a receiver into a reaction.




I don't dislike him but he is just goofy af.

I despise that jagoff
