    I don’t know if I’ve seen as bad of roster management on this big of a stage.  
     

    Pulling one of the best hitters in the country (who hit two bombs yesterday) for Daly as a defensive sub in the top half of the 9th with 1) only a one run lead, 2) our fucking bullpen and what was already a shootout game and 3) murphs spot due up in bottom half, is one of the dumbest things you will ever see.

    Same thing Friday.  Refusing to lift Daly for EK the second a righty came in and allowing him to ground into a DP in the 6th, down by three runs with two runners on is fucking stupid.  Then to double down and immediately insert EK the next inning for DC (the guy with 3 bombs previous two games) and THEN take out Daly for a combination of O’Dowd’s bat (who admittedly pushed a run in) who literally has 2 plate appearances in the last month, and then putting Whitehead in the OF after not playing for over a month.  

    Absolutely fucking awful and DP should have to answer for it.  Fuck the “oh we might make it to Omaha, DP is the guy” shit… this paired with his 3B coach bullshit is fucking awful. 

    He's been terrible at 3rd base all year, but the non challenge with Hodo is beyond explanation. Especially considering he had a great view. 

  2. Anyone else pay for the ad free segments on Overcast? I pay 10 bucks a month for the OMG segments, I've always hoped that kind of thing would buoy the station but maybe its doing the opposite by showing which shows/segments actually drive non ad related revenue?

    The idea of the Ticket starting to circle the drain has officially depressed me at least until lunch. Its such a strange phenomenon and its not easily explained why they have this loyal following. The musers are starting to lose their fastball and I think Ive just been in denial. It seems to me Gordo is interested in discussing deeper topics and wading into politics, and I actually think he can connect with an audience there. It's just not why I listen. My job and my life are plenty complicated and serious, I go to the ticket for an escape from all of that. But I think thats Gordo's whole point when he says entertainers get pigeon holed, they have these creative minds that want to explore new things but their audience just yells for more fake jerry and breast feeding bits.

    The only football related advantage is at QB, and only because Williams got good PT last year. Sarkisian's offense is better for WRs, and multiple 1st round talented WRs together. Riley's offense despite having numerous 5 star WRs in the past few seasons was not as explosive down the field, and really needs a QB run component to work.

    I think Sark got to let his nuts hang on this one from a football and numbers standpoint. Scouts already compare Addison to Devonta Smith. Like you said, from what it sounds like to me if Addison chooses USC it’s because he wants to team up with Williams. I think Sark beat Riley in the head coaching matchup.

    Listen buddy. You’ve been railing about our boosters not doing shit for years. Relentlessly. And many of us have been right there with you. And you’ve been very consistent on it, none of us have to go back far to find your hand wringing posts. But now you’re talking about some amazing wide spread network that’s existed for years and been responsible for so many players. So successful you tried to take some credit for a recent position haul while insulting many folks here. Which is it, you can’t have it both ways. But I’ll tell you what when you try you look…full of shit. 
     

    we’ve all read the famous bagman article. Clearly you need to read it again, because rule #1 from that guy was basically STFU and if you’re looking for credit you’re in the wrong line of work. 

    It’s not about credit. I’ve just put enough of my own time and money into this stuff, that I’m going to respond when someone is saying I haven’t done anything. 
     

    And on the topic of credit, I’ve spent a portion of that time recently singing y’all’s gospel, and have gone out of my way to applaud not just your efforts and the merit of your structure, but the smart direction it’s going to push the future of the sport. 
     

    What set me off, is comments like “at this point you’re just stupid if you’re not compliant”. Or “you can’t buy a championship.” Or having the ignorance to defend Plonsky at all. Those just aren’t true statements, and mixed with yesterdays Plonsky stuff and a healthy hangover, I made the mistake of trying to defend what shouldn’t even be discussed on here. I admire you and CTJ a ton. The team Plonsky chuds can eat a dick though.

    But I am sure USC would love for anyone to believe that to avoid tampering charges or an investigation of some sort, even one into the collective that put an insane number in front of the kid. I do not foresee any single current Texas collective coming anywhere near that number for 1 dude after we just took two others from the portal and had to pay to keep one out of them. Zero chance, prove me wrong

    It’s CFC that’s on it. You’d know better than me if they’re capable of matching but I was just told by a mutual friend that we are indeed in the mix.
