    True, but our middle infield and catcher play the last 10 years has been baseballs version of oline and QB. CJ was solid but no Seth Johnston or Brandon Loy. Then Teagarden and Rupp to Felts and McCann.

    I seemed to remember Barrera, Hamilton, Clemens, Boswell, Marlow being pretty good. Some collegiate golden glovers and variations of the middle infield leading country in double plays (CJ and Marlow?). 
     

    Texas second baseman Brooks Marlow has been named to the Rawlings Division I Gold Glove Team, the American Baseball Coaches Association announced Wednesday.

    Marlow has fielded at a .991 clip this season, committing just three errors in 326 chances, and has helped form one of the best double play combos in the country with shortstop C.J Hinojosa. Texas ranks second in the nation with 70 double plays, with Marlow helping turn 56 of those.

    I wish Texas was a state that believed in local control.

    And Abbott is a fucking embarrassment of a UT grad - it only takes 30 seconds to figure out they aren't "defunding" the cops, they are shuffling some responsibilities and budgets around.

    For fuck's sake, after the 2017 scandal, APD should never be allowed to host a forensic's lab.  Ever.  Nearly 2,000 investigations/prosecutions compromised, 10s of millions of taxpayer dollars wasted.

    Thank God someone is capping our property taxes. This city is out of control.

    Those things aren't exactly ocean-going ships.  I would think they could have found other places to train that weren't several hundred feet of water.

    Once the AAV is about 4-5 under water it almost physically impossible to open the top-hatches. It takes almost all strength an average Marine has to unlatch and open. Combine that with the fact that the vehicle commander and driver hatch is open, once the AAV goes below surface it is just a matter of seconds before it is gone.

    You believe people illegally protesting on a street is escalating 

    I believe a car turning into a crowd of protestors is escalating 

    We can wager which person a jury agrees with

    I will wager that the jury will believe that a guy with an AK47, at the ready, escalated this situation. And based on all of his interviews prior to the event, knew he was escalating.

    I also left out the part where open carry is legal or that numerous witnesses said the dead guy never pointed his AK at him. You know, those same witnesses who said he never fired his weapon while many of the surly ballistics experts showed up to insist otherwise.

    Do you think the guy with the AK47 knew it was illegal to walk down the middle of the street and block vehicle traffic?

    Did the shooter run a red light and drive INTO a crowd of protesters he could see ahead of him, most of them carrying political signs that he openly disagreed with? Did Perry screech his tires and honk one loud long Texas fuck outta my way honk at them? Gee it's just crazy how some of those pesky rioters got upset at him and banged on his car. Any reasonably patient act on his part and nobody ever hears about this because nothing else would have happened.

    Good points. I now see how Perry was the one who created this situation.
