    The Thrawn books in both legends and Disney canon are pretty good.

    Agree with the rock, paper scissors guys and their purpose but the execution could have been better. I’ll say this show has the luxury of being great on practically every level that the small faults or nitpicks don’t hinder the experience. I guess we could say a fault of the series is what we didn’t get to see from the talented people working on this show because of the need to squeeze it from 5 seasons to only 2 seasons. For as long as I live, I’ll will be wishing we got to see the original horror/Alien like idea of how K-2 and Cassian met. It’s unfortunate the episode had to be scratched for budget reasons but at least we go this epic scene.
  3. I think he’s tied with Arod for errors on the season. The guy made plenty of errors. I was more so calling out the plays like the Aggie regional last year. But I agree Flores lacks the athleticism/range for short and it’s probably why 3rd is where he’ll play at the next level. The amount of balls that went off his glove in the hole or slow rollers he wasn’t quick enough to get out was so, so bad. Against UTSA in game 2, the ball to 5 hole in the 9th highlights his lack of range in terms of what we’ve seen throughout his time here.
  4. Flores was an okay fielder, but his errors always seemed to happen at the worst possible time.
  5. I could see Arod playing the infield if that is where he’s more comfortable. If I’m not mistaken, I think he was a plus defender at short in high school. I just wouldn’t pencil him in the outfield yet.
  6. I’m going to give Arod the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his defense since he played hurt for half the season. He has the tools to grow into a more sound defender and I’m a little surprised how well he did in the outfield all things considered. Agree on Jonah but don’t forget Mendoza.
  7. Leads the nation in come from behind victories as well.
  8. The staff also couldn’t stop throwing cock-shots or hitting them. Base running was atrocious. Fielding was also bad. Schloss even got out coached in certain points. The point is the talent in the lineup was also not fielding, pitching or running the bases well either. You can’t just be hyper focused on one facet of the game when the collapse post Aggie was in all phases.
  9. For the most part but that doesn’t mean you should completely discount what UTSA was able to do. It was a complete failure in all phases.
  10. Look what Tulo had to work with. Talent wise there wasn’t much there for him, and it’s easy to see which guys wouldn’t sniff the middle to top end of rosters in the SEC. Winfield turned out to be a dud and Rodriguez was doing pretty good till he hurt his hand—still did well in towards the end all things considered. 4ish guys in the lineup were somewhat consistent with the rest being in and out of the lineup or a black hole. And while Flores regressed from last year, guys like Galvan and Kimble improved. At least Weiner got an ace and Ruger out of the portal, and freshmen of the year in the SEC.
  11. I think not considering Aggie has never won the SEC.
  12. Going to miss Kimble the most.
  13. Feel like “some” is an understatement.
  14. If I remember correctly, Cain as the 3rd base coach was an issue at Aggie as well. Not saying our guys are can’t be dumb, too.
  15. Meanwhile, Kimble rounding second
  16. Cherrypicking, really? And pointing out facial hair or “swagger/theatrics” when a guy messes up proves your entire point. Actually, I’m going to give Flores a call and tell him to shave his mustache so he can hit the ball opposite field.
  17. Complaining about swagger and theatrics, which have been mostly with Williams and Galvan when it comes to you, seems a bit pointless when you check that they both combined for half the RBI’s tonight at the plate. Williams is true freshman at 17 years old and struggles at the plate when it’s not his pitch. Wow, shocker. My point is Galvan having a bit of personality(1st team all-sec) or guys having some facial hair is at the very fucking bottom of why we are not playing good right now. Tough to say since we aren’t involved with the day to day coaching. The guys have made bad habits that sprouted a little after the middle of the season. It’s similar to what they showed last year with Pierce. Sometimes you can’t coach consistency and guys will ultimately level up or revert back to their mean once the grind sets in. There is only so much Tulo/Schloss can do before it sets in that Gaspo can’t lay off pitches in the other batters box.
  18. Have you ever pondered that some guys on this team anre just not good and Schloss et al have squeezed everything they can out of them? We got like 3 black holes in the lineup with two others that have been playing injured. I mean it’s the same lineup and defense Pierce had outside of 2 or 3 guys and they’ve managed to win the SEC and get the 2nd overall seed.
  19. I actually think O’Connor would be a good hire for them even though Vaughn or Canham would be better. He’s the sole architect of making that program what it is today. Jimbo was gifted a Ferrari at FSU and we all know how that went. O’Connor would at a minimum raise the floor for Aggie and run a competent program. I just don’t think they can pull him away from Virginia since he got a raise last year.

    S2 didn’t just live up to expectations — it exceeded them. And people “lapping up season 2” is a wild stretch considering everything it achieved thematically with season 1.

    Absolutely brilliant.

    My house as a kid had two pillars that separated a hallway and the living room, and they were about 8ft or so apart. There was about a month long span where the only thing I would do all day was get in between those pillars and imagine I was Maul going up against Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
