    So you’re saying that Lummus, Hurley and Duplantier are worthless pitchers that should never see the light of day or what?  Cause they’re the ones who let it get away.8 runs in 2 innings.

    Just a week later two of those pitched 6 shutout innings.  Then the other went 3.2 innings giving up 1 versus a team that hits .320 in conference.

     

     

    I didn't say any of that. But thanks for the input, Mrs. Pierce.

    Ok. But that is not what you wrote. 

    You keep trying to make this argument, but the "unacceptable" nature of the UTRGV loss was walking or hitting 20 fucking batters and being down 13-1 or whatever the fuck it was. 

    It only highlighted, again, that the pitching coach hasn't reached much of this staff, and/or hasn't adequately recruited arms.

    I don't want them taking Brooks.  They don't need to waste a high pick on a RB, even if he's potentially the best...especially off injury.

    Brooks is a luxury they could take if they had other key needs addressed already. They don't. 

    But it feels like Brooks is Jerry's 2024 pet cat.

    As a neutral observer, the trade down was smart. Clearly Dallas was targeting one guy and knew he'd be their later in the round. 

    I do find it interesting that when I looked at mocks pre-draft, it felt like all of them had the Cowboys taking Guyton. Usually hard to for analysts to nail picks later in the round. 

     

    Dallas is usually pretty easy to project because their war room has more leaks in it than the Titanic post-iceberg.

    No...."I know what let's go watch them call names and shake hands". It's not unimpressive what a must see spectacle the NFL has made of this thing, but yea they weird.

    It was a lot weirder when the crowd was just the 500 or so loser virgins who hung out in that ballroom in NYC all day long.

    Need one for a wedding on September 7th. Yes, some dickface planned his wedding on the same day we are playing meat chicken. I’m annoyed but this deal helps. Thanks for posting, op. 

    Spend four times as much on the gift as you planned and decline the RSVP.

    The only way we stop this shit is if you idiots stop going to fall weddings. 

    If the groom is a Texas Ex I can tell you right now that marriage is doomed.. Tell him you'll go to his next one.

  7. This is an easy decision. Recruiting has been a disaster. The only reason our bats seem like good pickups is because we see it juxtaposed against the absolutely terrible talent on the mound.

    We're Texas. Our recruiting should never be based on a foundation of projects and "might be". That's fucking Tulane thinking. 

    It's time to get someone back in here who is relentlessly pursuing greatness.

    Celebrating xbh and energizing the dugout is objectively good. The idea that this is some new thing that has the potential to start fights is udderly regarded

    Any team that would get in a fight over that shit is soft in the head

    5.1 IP, 3 ER against a scrub pitcher on a night with the wind blowing out. Why? Because he didn't walk anyone.

    Not to make an excuse for this shit show but I thought KSU had a nasty Friday night guy.
