    We just simply can't recruit corners who don't have top end speed anymore. We could get away with that somewhat in the B12, but in the SEC everyone has guys that can fly. It would have been a long and painful season for Brooks if I had to guess followed by discussion on moving him to safety. I also question why he is blowing coverages in year 3 as a multiyear starter. I was a little dubious about him going into next season prior to the spring game. We just need more athleticism in that spot.  

    Top 30 WR 40 times by conference

    Big 12 - 3, SEC - 6, ACC - 6, Pac-12 - 8, G5 - 2, non-FBS - 2, Big 10 - 3

    2 of the Big 12 were Texas of course but then again we won't get burned by Texas receivers other than spring games

    New alignments count

    SEC - 8, ACC - 6, Big 10 - 8, Big 12 - 3, G5 - 3, non-FBS - 2

    Be glad we're not in the Big 10, apparently. And the SEC fluffery is so tired already. No, not everybody in the SEC has guys who can fly unless sub-4.7 is your definition of flying.

    Sorry I guess for directly responding to the specific charge and in the same terms that it was made. Oh, and below still suits. 

     

    You seem to have missed a question, accidentally I'm sure.

    nice of you to show up in April. 

    Oh I've been here the whole time. Just found it humorous that you're running around to multiple threads rooting for other teams to beat City.

    What's gone? 

  4. 3-0 is a pitching machine count. If there were a machine out there throwing that pitcher's fastball and you set it up for the location you prefer what does that look like? Prepare for that pitch and if it comes then obliterate it. 

    You should absolutely never want an above average major league hitter to take the pitch Altuve hit for his second bomb last night.

    Here's a crazy idea, move Seth Martinez to the starting rotation, and maybe send Hunter back to AAA.

    Yeah I don't see why not at this point. Skip the part where the young and/or not ready starter gives up a half dozen or more runs and go straight to the part where Martínez goes 3 innings with little to no damage.

    We just need to be more consistent scoring runs and not 18-0 in 2 games yet are 2-5 overall because we can’t score more than 1-2 runs in all our other games.

    I mean it’s kinda what we did most of last season especially to end the year and the playoffs. I hope we work ourselves out of this pattern. If anything maybe our 7-9 inning rotation won’t blow a lead. I’ll take a 2-1 win over a 3-2 loss and then the bitching won’t be as loud about the offense. Still feels like this team needs to consistently average 5/6 runs a game to really start stacking wins. But it’s all smoke and mirrors when you score big like we do but can’t follow it up the next 2 games. 
     

    like with the rangers this weekend, lose 3-1 then lose 2-0, then win 12-1, then lose 4-3. Rangers score 10 over 4 games vs the Astros 16. Explode in 1 game and we think we average plenty of runs when we don’t. 

    Dude, this is an entire thing in baseball. It usually works itself out unless you have an epically bad bullpen. Ours is struggling right now but it's not that bad.
