  1. I kind of dismissed Newsom as a national contender years ago and not really sure why. He has the resume, demeanor, age, looks, etc. to be a very formidable candidate. Agree that this interaction piqued my interest.
  2. Small consolation, but DC’s catch and throw was #1 on SportsCenter. As it should be.
  3. That is a really fucking interesting question that I had never before considered, but if the team is convinced they can't resign him AND we are 8-10 games out near the deadline, it's certainly something that needs to be on the radar. Could provide a huge boost to the organization. (That being said, signing him is still my #1 option. This is only if we think that ship has sailed.)
  4. I'm slowly pivoting towards not wanting any big moves to be made at the deadline. Given the injuries this year, I'm not convinced that we are only one or two pieces away from a trophy. Our minor league depth is so thin, and any difference maker would surely require the depletion of those assets. I get that a 2021 Braves-esque run is certainly possible, but I just don't know if that risk aligns with our current reality. I get that our window is (likely) closing soon, but it's gonna stay closed longer if we ship out our future big leaguers for a fruitless pursuit.
  5. We’re not snakebit, we are just shitty.
  6. Pena fucked it, but there should be no scenario where groundout, walk, fielders choice, strikeout scores a run in Major League Baseball. Fuck Manfred.
  7. Tbf, Mancini was the main piece of that trade (although that doesn’t really change the point)
  8. This is honestly my favorite part of any Trump news bomb. The first few hours when all of his supporters are obviously frantically texting each other, "what the fuck?" and "how do we defend this shit?" Sometime later tonight or tomorrow morning, the marching orders will be given and we will all learn the "defense" that will be used to slowly drive us insane over the next few months. But these first few hours are magical.
  9. We're gonna call up Hensley to be the every day DH, watch.
  10. Yeah, College Station is Mecca for dudes who look like this.
  11. Welp, at least we will always have the last 12 hours of fun.
  12. Astros World Series hopes dashed by Jeff Bagwell. What is this, the 90s?
  13. Today needs to be the day that decisions are made about first base.
  14. Think about it through the aggy lens and it makes more sense. If they schedule the game in College Station, then it's proof that you are important and people love you and are sorry that they were mean If they schedule the game in Austin, then it's proof that those damn tsips are already trying to run another conference Win/win for the #brand
  15. I get that there were two outs and no one on, but allowing Kessinger to bat in the 8th with Breggy and Pena on the bench is certainly something.
  16. An anemic offense has a funny way of drawing attention to the bullpen.
  17. So goddamn tired of the Rangers somehow playing last place teams every fucking game.
