So, one more year with Bregman, one or two more with JV, two more with Tucker…isn’t this (Snell/1 or 2 year deal) exactly the type of deal the Astros should be pursuing?

JD Davis released by SF today. Assuming he could play 1B, bring him in and move on from Singleton. He’s a good hitter and can play 3B or OF.

I don't get the appeal but I also think the globetrotters are dumb
Me either, but I actively dislike most things widely regarded as “fun.”

Well... yeah, if you think there are 8,000,000 people faster than he is.
EDIT: changed 8,000,000 men to 8,000,000 people to avoid appearance of genderism, just in case one or more of those 8,000,000 identify as female.
EDIT: which probably wouldn't surprise anyone.
Right, we could add some more 9s in there. Probably several more. Point is, relatively speaking, he is firmly in a tiny population of fastest humans.

You do realize X is nowhere near the "fastest man on earth", right?
I mean, he’s probably in the 99.9th percentile, right?

Mahomes left off your list "Chinaski" ??
Criteria was NFL performance not considered - i.e., purely based on college performance. So I’m guessing Harrell over him, as he’s the all time passing leader (by a lot in terms of TDs and yards), also had more team success.

Question for the Techsters: Who would be Tech's Top 5 All-Time players, giving ZERO consideration to what they may have done in the NFL?
I’m not a tech guy but my father is, I’d guess something like:
Gray, Z Thomas, Crabtree, Welker, Harrell
i really only know their teams from the mid-80s on. I know there was a DT drafted really high in the early 80s whose pro career never happened due to an awful car accident, so maybe him. Donnie Anderson too? Also thought of Hanspard. Tyrone Thurman was a WR/returner from the mid 80s who was awesome and tiny.
I don’t know, tech guys can tell me where I’m wrong.

Worthy and Mitchell underperformed in our offense? Worthy went for 1000 yards last season and Mitchell had 845 yards and 11 touchdowns. All in a conference where every defense is designed to take away the deep pass above all else. But don't let facts get in the way of a good story I guess.
Well you see, Worthy was still underutilized, as was Mitchell, who also tested extremely well. Sanders was underutilized too, while we’re at it. Oh, and Brooks may be the RB1 in the draft - he too was underutilized. Sark is an idiot, he wasted so many plays.

Seems like he’s in therapy.
Seems more like he’s in the midst of a manic episode.
When people start going out of their way to say/write things like “I’m operating at a level that is over your heads/that nobody else can even understand”…well, that’s usually not good.

Feels like you just described Stephen McGee.
One of the Aggie-est thing I’ve ever seen was McGee jumping up to get in Sergio Kindle’s face and talk shit immediately after Kindle sacked him, with his team getting run out of the building. It was kind of perfect.

Making a career out of handing the ball off or throwing swing passes to Marshall Faulk gives him unimaginable insight into what makes a good NFL QB that we just can’t have.
He has the highest single-season yards per attempt average since the 1950s (9.9 in 2000).

Wait, is he saying that Rice is getting a B10 invite?

“If this statistical model doesn’t completely affirm my biased, preconceived idea about the world, then I shall blindly disregard it and assume it is deeply flawed.”
Jesus, imagine applying that sentiment to all aspects of life, as these people seem to. Their aversion to any degree of objectivity that may challenge their desired reality never fails to astound me.

I'd lead-off Yordan and bat Altuve 2nd. Yordan gets on base over 40% of the time, but I agree batting him 2nd would better than 3rd. Another beneft would potentially be less TOOTBLAN's from Altuve with Yordan in front of him on the bases.
Getting Yordan more PAs than anyone else on the team makes sense to me.

Are we hitting Tucker behind Bregman in that order to split-up the left-handed hitters or is it optimal for Bregman to hit before Tucker without that consideration?
Statistically it is best to have your best hitter at #2.
it doesn’t make that much of a difference if Yordan hits 3 instead of 2 - maybe the difference of a run or two over an entire season. But I’m of the opinion that there’s no reason not to maximize your odds on things like this.

As someone who was an undergrad while Gregory was totally renovated and came out seeming sparkly and new, I scoffed when I read this, as obviously it isn’t that old.

JV having health problems in his age 41 season should 100% be expected, as his age is an obvious risk. Counting on him too much is a bit…optimistic.

What happened at your house of hoops should NEVER fucking happen by such a huge , all powerful entity. It wasn’t an exception either.
The fact that I have no idea what “happened” is probably a good indicator of basketball’s level of relevance to this conversation.
What should NEVER happen is losing to Maryland or Cal or kicking off both halves of a game or having Steve Patterson anywhere near Belmont, or agreeing to play road nonconference football games that don’t serve the University of Texas’s best interest. Failing to sell tickets to a basketball game (?) is whatever.

Right? And $33m AAV doesn’t seem out of line. Not sure what I’m missing.
