  1. I hope any thought beyond OU is limited to our fans and not our players or coaches.
  2. Not sure how much Siri's "enthusiasm" helped Tampa today. He never could hit, and now he needs to swap his glove for a jai alai basket.
  3. They have that many? Not after this game.
  4. Tough game for Tampa's 17 fans.
  5. All I ever needed to know about the consequences of counting outs I learned in the Dome in October 1980. 😝
  6. I'm sure he was also counting outs. No way we could win after that.
  7. Regardless of where they slot any individual player on the list, having 5 Astros in the top 21 and 6 in the top 36 is pretty impressive.
  8. Interesting development. I'm absolutely no fan of this guy, but he evidently got jacked around big time.
  9. Only today did I even realize he's no longer on our team. I just assumed we'd finally found a guy who could fog a mirror.
  10. Next someone will argue it was "defensive indifference." Or maybe every steal of home because the defense is asleep we now should call a "fielder's choice." I hope Tucker now gets 10 HRs and 10 steals in October to give the pundits a 40-40 to further quibble about.
  11. You of course have to account for all the bases advanced. Clearly it began as a hit. Nobody committed an error by the usual definition. Can't call it a fielder's choice with the bases empty. No can we say he stole home. Thus, it has to be ruled a 4-base hit...so give him #30. I doubt anyone would be making a big deal over it if it had happened in May.
  12. I can't argue with your premise. It's always a long road to a title. But on the surface, it's pretty hard to spin finishing the regular season 16 games worse than a year ago as a banner season. We're pretty fortunate to have overcome all the injuries and other obstacles and be in the position we're in. Of course, what lies ahead will ultimately define how we see 2023.
  13. I don't see the Yankees, Red Sox or Mariners on here, so I guess they won their divisions.
  14. Brooks is a solid RB running well-schemed plays. Not sure I see the sheer talent our high draft picks at the position have had. I think he's Malcolm Brown behind a much better OL. If so, that's pretty good.
  15. When the feed shows a guy hitting a leadoff triple and then scoring on the same play, without any error indicated, one has to wonder what sort of creativity is being employed by the official scorer.
  16. Rangers being Rangers is always helpful.
  17. Come on. A Little League HR should still be a homer.
  18. Every time aggy claims B/CS is the obvious place for small-school prospects to play college ball, I think of guys like Brooks. He seems to have adjusted to the bright lights just fine.
  19. Those Mariners tears are tasty. Puget Sound adds a little extra salt.
  20. If we somehow find ourselves "needing" to lose, I fully expect Dusty to march out the death lineup.
