  1. Yeah this is what I was getting at with Pete. He had god like numbers last year and expecting him to replicate that would be insane.
  2. Nixon there’s just no positives at all. With Stevens he’s at least giving this team a reliable arm as of late. I don’t know if I’d put Pete in the same category as the other two because while he hasn’t been super dominant like last year, he’s still considered an ace and a really good college pitcher. But yeah you could still technically say he regressed from last year. 1.46 ERA last year, my goodness Pete.
  3. It’s 9 years. Get your facts straight. /s
  4. On the whole Luke has been good this season but he definitely hasn’t finished as strong as you would have hoped. I wouldn’t be shocked if he gave us good innings for the CWS tho. Who on the staff has regressed a ton from last season outside of Nixon? Stevens I guess but he’s been very reliable out of the pen and then what he did in game 3. All the growing pains we saw from this staff early on seem to be paying off now for the most part.
  5. YOU A BAD MOTHER FUCKER STEVENS! HOOK’EM🤘🏻
  6. His post race interview was a little shaky with what he was saying and what he actually believed. He acknowledged Daniel helped him with following the order not to pass but only said it was for one lap. It was for 15 laps. I don’t think there’s any outward divide between him and Danny tho.
  7. That home run call was absolutely horrible.
  8. Yeah the car is shit but if they would have let Danny do his thing in the first stint then it probably would have helped lando and the team in the long run.
  9. Couldn’t they have just given Daniel the green light to pass Lando earlier in the race so he wouldn’t have gotten passed by Gasley easily has he did. McLaren had a chance for a higher finish if it wasn’t for their strategy with Lando&Danny.
  10. Danny got fucked this race
  11. Southard giving us quality relief would be massive. If Dre can come in and give us a solid outing after the year he’s had then Southard needs to do the same tomorrow.
  12. I would think stormtroopers don’t see Jedi that often to think that shooting at them is useless. I always thought of blasters being more of a hindrance for Jedi and to highlight how more powerful they are to the average soldier. Vader in ESB just stuck his hand out to deflect Hans blaster shots. No doubt about that. I don’t see the first two connections like episode 3&4 have.
  13. Reva, calling it now. Or some random character.
  14. There is a theory going around that says every episode reflects off the first six movies. Luke acting like he’s pod racing for episode 1, clone in episode 2(That’s a reach), Anakin vs Obi wan/fire episode 3 and the most recent that seemed obvious for ANH. (Obi wan coming out of the water perfectly dry after fighting the storm trooper was an homage to Luke coming out of the trash compactor perfectly dry.) If this is true, that must mean we’ll see some force ghost action coming up.
  15. I’ve said it before but last year our middle of the pen didn’t have to pitch big innings. Now those guys are not stepping up this year to replace what we lost. You can say that is coaching or the guys just aren’t as talented than we originally thought, either way there’s a problem.
  16. Maybe for like 1 out in the 9th but leaving Pete in would have done more harm than good with the command he had today. But it’s not like we have Cole, Witt and freshman nixion in the pen and decided to go with Zane.
  17. I dunno but it seems odd that a coach would give up knowing he has the best lineup at Texas in forever and plenty of time to crawl back into it.
  18. Stevens wasn’t necessarily a bad call. Get him out there to pitch clean and quick. Go into the ninth down 1 with hot bats and momentum. Stevens can still pitch a healthy amount if we need him to.
  19. I mean you do realize in the novelization of return of the Jedi it says obi wan and Lars were brothers. Plus, obi wan tells Luke that anakin didn’t know padme was pregnant till after he became Vader. This was a novel straight from the OT movies that contradicts the prequels. George & Co. could have gone off of this but still chose to go into a different direction. I’ve read the new Thrawn books and they are fantastic. Disney could easily go off of that material and make a good trilogy but they probably won’t because it’s Disney.
  20. I don’t think it’s fair to compare the lord of the rings to Star Wars. The makings of that trilogy already had a well thought out plan with the novels that came before. George made Star Wars on what inspired him and his ideas. Hell, he didn’t even think it was going to end up being a trilogy until after it was released. Star Wars for the most part has never been cohesive. The guy that wrote Leia to say “my mother died when I was young but she was beautiful” then later on in the prequels the same guy shows us that Leia couldn’t have remembered her mother. Star Wars for the most part has had average writing at best with some awesome moments in between. ESB obviously being the outlier. That movie was so damn good from a writing and directional perspective.
