  1. It’s common to have utility guys who can’t hit, but when they can’t field multiple positions either…
  2. As crazy as it seems, I think you can already add Rutschman to that list. But your point stands.
  3. Yeah, if you pass on Nimmo, the younger cheaper guy is the one already on the team. And then you get a LF instead. Which is fine - it's certainly a lot easier to find a LF than a CF. I think there's a clear misunderstanding of how many good CF there even are, let alone available (and that objectively, Chas is actually a pretty good one relative to his peers, there just aren't that many).
  4. And that Lee's deal was for 6 years vs. 3. And that this deal is for only $3 mill/yr more 16 years later.
  5. I think those days are over for him.
  6. I think the gameplan there is a chicken and egg thing. That’s the main difference I’d say. (And I’m not upset about it, I wish we’d commit to running more like that given our personnel/struggles. But it doesn’t seem to be Sark’s nature-which is why I personally find it telling, especially in light of the end of yesterday’s game.)
  7. I just don’t completely agree with your reading of that evidence (or your take on the Kansas game in particular). I do agree about his talent. I’m not writing him off.
  8. I did not mean to include ISU in that. You’re correct. His poor stretch started after that game, not OU. He was not terrible against KSU, but I wouldn’t call that a good performance either.
  9. Hence “solid.” Theres no room for nuance in this unfortunately (welcome to the internet!). He either is already a bust or you have to defend him tooth and nail as just having routine freshman struggles.
  10. I’d argue that the stretch between OU and yesterday was consistently bad-the KSU and KU games just look better by comparison to the other 2, but his completion percentage and ypa were both very poor. A far cry from how he looked early in the year. And that probably colors how his game yesterday was seen, which other than a couple of big mistakes, was actually solid.
  11. I didn’t say they knew anything. That’s kind of the point. And it wasn’t just there, it was on shaggy. Which, again, consider the source. But still-it was absolutely a thing.
  12. Yeah, I’m not talking about the meme. I’m taking about actual discussion. I remember being at games that years and hearing people yell to put Chiles in.
  13. There was a vocal contingent who wanted to replace him with true freshman John Chiles.
  14. Did he? His completion percentage, ypa, and ypg are higher. But he threw more picks, the same number of TDs (in more games) and has a lower QBR. They were both pretty mediocre.
  15. Im not suggesting Card should start, but you’re conflating last season with this season. Ewers has absolutely been worse over the second half of the season than what Card showed in his 3 starts. Just look at the numbers.
  16. As bad as Ewers has been, Gilbert threw 3 times as many interceptions:l. I envy your ability to block that out.
  17. He’s personally responsible for 8 of Baylor’s points. I wish he were as passionate about his own godawful play as his teammates mistakes.
  18. McCutchen would be a HUGE downgrade in CF from McCormick at this point in his career.
  19. I always thought the solid orange caps they wore at home for Saturdays and weekday day games (up through maybe 2015?) were a great look. It picks up the orange piping in the home uniform, and by the same token, the solid blue cap always made more sense for the road uniform with its blue piping. I'd like to see them bring back that orange to wear at home at least some of the time and with the Sunday alternate.
  20. They basically don't wear any two-tone caps anymore. They haven't worn the alternate caps in a long time, and they pretty much wear solid blue on the road now too. I wish they would bring back orange caps though.
  21. $1.81 according to the Farm Bureau’s annual survey. It’s a pretty steep increase over last year. I think Aldi is running a special where they’re selling Thanksgiving staples at 2019 prices.
  22. That potential turkey shortage was reported everywhere. It’s not a Fox News conspiracy. I think I first saw it on The Today Show or something.
  23. Those are the old hats. They haven’t worn those for a few years now.
  24. If you want to roll with Diaz then just do it. Signing Yuli is pointless.
  25. I recall NR being pretty consistently anti-Trump.
