Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

It did. He gave up a hit and 2 walks and got no outs before being pulled putting Wright in a tough spot and caused the Braves to be down 2 runs early. Thankfully Wright, who has barely pitched in the bigs this year, was awesome.

I was 100% correct here.

I believe he struck Bregman out for the first out.

Seems about right. I predicted ~6-7 before they lost to MSU. Though I could see it dropping down to 3 too...assuming we're healthy.

No Cade still scares me. UK's defense is good enough to take advantage of our awful tackle situation. We'll have to scheme around it, but Stoops also knows this. It will be a chess match for sure.

Down to 2.5… and will keep dropping.

He did record one out, you are correct

I am not a dweeb. As I sit here wearing a blue button down shirt, khakis and black Nike running shoes. But my khakis are flat front

Pleats do complete the dweeb look, so you're good.

Covid has changed everything

We had a few more arrive a bit early. I’m in the Atlanta suburbs so I think it’s part due to the World Series tonight.

We can meet, but I’m coming dressed as Ragnar.

That's solid. I once grew my hair out and considered dressing up as Utrecht.

Better bring a real axe…foam ain’t cutting it.

 

[SoilVol]

Wow, looks almost perfectly ripe too, maybe could grow just slightly more but definitely will be good. I've been growing Lion's Mane myself recently. It's so good.

...where did you find it?

We had a heavy rain come in Friday after being dry for a while. Found it on one of the only oaks in the area. Somewhere nearabouts Assateague Island and National Seashore - allegedly.

Uhtred? son of? excellent show.

He’s an awful in game manager. Terrible with pitchers. It’s true.

I've coach baseball and it just is not as easy as sitting on your couch and making decisions. Always having to think at least an inning if not more ahead. He is doing fine and no way would anyone making a decision before the result always decide the same thing. I saw a guy over a baseball facility posting on facebook that Jackson was trash. Pointed out we would not be where we are without him and needed him the rest of the way if we were going to win this thing. That is how you coach and manage people and give them confidence then hope they come thru. Works sometimes and other times it does not. I do not always agree with every move he makes but glad he has got a team that has lost so much talent to where we are and hope we get one more game and hopefully do so tonight.

 

[JacketVol]

He actually has done really well this postseason as I posted earlier. But that was a mistake starting the kid last night. Thankfully it didn’t blow up on us

Hindsight. It was a gamble and he gave up an infield hit and had a umpire pinching him. They scored one run without a ball out of the infield. Things happen. If he gets them out 1,2,3 then you say nothing. I have made bad decisions as a CEO but you have to make them and live with them while everyone else on the outside second guesses. It is what it is.

I was 100% correct here.

Did you even watch the dang game? He got a strike out. So you are not 100 percent correct here.

Yep….. it’s definitely a difficult job….. you have to have a feel whose arm is ready…. Whose isn’t…. Can’t overwork them like the Dodgers had to do last series bc then they won’t perform at their optimal level and that is what it is all about….. he has done a great job, imo.

My kids: “Trick or treat”

Homeowner: “Sorry, we don’t do Halloween.”

Me: “Ma’am, please don’t do this. If you choose to not give a treat, I am forced to return upon sunset and release the full fury of hell with tricks you’ve not even conceived of. Don’t make us do this.”

Be careful or I will pop you in the butt. Knives don't beat bullets.

It’s so funny to me seeing tweets from Shawn being used as a source of news on here. Same can be said for how tweets or views from Ben (McKee) end up on here every once in a while.

To me, both are just guys I had classes with in the School of JEM. Makes me wonder if I hadn’t decided to work inside Athletics, would you guys be getting worked up over my tweets lol
