Mancini (apparently) can play in the OF (though he’s mostly played 1B this season) which probably makes him a little more desirable than Bell. Offensively they’re similar, but I prefer Bell (higher BB%, lower K%). I wouldn’t be that excited about Cruz, would definitely prefer more position versatility. I like Benintendi…in that I’d feel better with him in there than Chas or Siri…

If only Dusty had gotten tossed before penciling Dubon into the #2 spot.- Uniform Pron
When it comes to football uniforms, I am a firm believer that, in general, boring is good, a feature not a bug. I’m a fan of subtlety.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
Maybe so. I admittedly don’t even know how the reserves are selected anymore. I foolishly imagine that a small panel gets together, pores over objective data and makes rational decisions. Because that’s how I wish our world worked. I am very often disappointed.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
Wouldn’t be shocked if Pena gets in, as he’s been easily a top-3 SS in the AL. But, with each team needing a rep, and him being a rookie, who knows.- 2022 MLB thread

It’s mostly just that the shit Texas gets blamed for is oversimplified, misinterpreted, intellectually dishonest, borderline absurd in some cases, and often just flat out inaccurate, yet it gets echoed incessantly and has become college football dogma among writers, fans, etc. It’s annoying because nobody is particularly interested in any details other than the narrative that “Texas kills conferences” and “Texas caused all of this.” Lazy, inaccurate drivel gets old and makes you wish people would do better or be just be honest.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
As long as he’s in the bottom third of the lineup I am not gonna complain.- 2022 MLB thread
Yeah, he got to that. Alvarez leads the league in slugging, OPS, position-player bWAR, Win Probability Added and Runs Created per Game. Judge leads the AL in home runs and runs scored — but doesn’t rankabove Alvarez in a single significant rate stat.- 2022 MLB thread
That’s cool, but he’s swinging a bat 25% better than Judge to this point. So one might also say that Judge isn’t doing what Yordan is doing.- 2022 MLB thread
Judge, Ohtani, Devers would be my top 3 at midseason. Yordan right behind those 3, but closing the gap fairly quickly. One could make a legit argument for any of those 4. (“Best player on best team” is not a legit argument, though.)- Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
Gilbert was 4/16 for 62 yards in that game lololol- Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
Sending Nebraska off with that game - they spent the entire off-season hyping that game, Texas was awful, Gilbert beat them by running the ball haha, etc. - and the Case scramble to send the ags off after Texas did absolutely nothing on offense all night…well, those two games will never not be hilarious to me.- Uniform Pron
I prefer losing the TEXAS too, but getting rid of that damned collar logo and fixing the shade of orange should be priorities 1a and 1b. The TEXAS doesn’t really bother me, but I do prefer the jerseys without it. Just looks cleaner. And given that nobody else wears burnt orange, it seems kinda redundant. This is our optimal look IMO…uncluttered Jersey, no helmet numbers…i could take or leave the pants stripes:- Realignment talk not going away
Yes, and the really shitty part is that it was obvious a decade ago that this was the PAC’s best and only play. There simply were no other “marquee” programs to get that made even remote geographic sense. They opted to let the LHN be a deal-breaker. It was short-sighted and ultimately led to the destruction of their league. And again, this isn’t hindsight, it was clear back then that the PAC was cutting off its nose to spite its face. I know this seems arrogant, but they needed Texas more than Texas needed them, and they didn’t seem to consider that during negotiations. It is just true, it was true in 2011 - and we said it back then - and this is the result.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
You see, he’s playing second base. He obviously has to lead off, because normally the second baseman leads off.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Agreed. The sport is moving in a direction that is less regional, more corporate, where programs are built based largely on NIL/payroll, where all players are free agents every year, etc. It’ll likely get more sterile and less passionate. I guess with all the money the sport generates, this was inevitable. Some people will like it more, I guess. I don’t think I will be one of them.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
Of course he did, he’s playing 2B.- 2022 MLB thread

Teotihuacan was always my fav when I lived in Houston. Very likely to go there. How’s the wait for a patio table at the Heights location these days? - 2022 Houston Astros Thread
