re: Braun for Yorke

Because the positive of the walks don't outweigh everything else. Even when he does walk, he's a double play waiting to happen.
Yorke scores (on average) every 5th trip to the plate. Braun scores every 8 trips to the plate.
Yorke is a first baseman; I wish he were better. On the flip side, Braun hasn't played first base.
Just to recap: This thread is advocating that a freshman take over a position he's never really played. This is to bench the fat guy who beats him in basically every offensive statistical category. Does that sum everything up?

Give the youngin a chance at 1st
It's been posted many times here, but Braun has never really played 1B. He said himself in an interview that he only played outfield growing up. He projected as a first baseman so that's where the recruiting ranking came from. There is no reason to believe he would be better at it than Yorke.
re: Has Jay given any insight on Arrambide?

I’m sure it’s because he’s been bad behind the plate and in the box, and his counter part has been quite good swinging the bat and, I won’t say great, but not any worse catching behind the plate
Being bad at plate hasn't kept many people out of the lineup the last few weeks. Jay doesn't often let anyone catch 4 games in a row at this point in the season. Hernandez was a workhouse, and Arrambide was still starting games through the final SEC series last year to give Hernandez a break.
Arrambide may have gone 0-7 against Oklahoma, but he was 5-13 against Vandy. That doesn't warrant sitting out a whole SEC series.
This is the tweet I was looking for. This seems odd. Especially considering that we saw Yamin catch Friday night and DH (very briefly) against Tech. If it isn't an injury, then something else seems to be going on.
quote:
You hear the crowd noise rise but it wasn't until 5, 6, 7 seconds later before he told you why. There would be a whistle, then a long pause before the audience was told the reason for the whistle. Just a really bad broadcast.
Perfect description of how he does baseball as well. Thankfully, I'm either at a football game or watching it on TV, so I can't recall ever having to listen to him.
re: Can we talk about Chris Blair?

Lol you know for television the producers match the video feed with the announcer sound, right?
I'm referring to Lynn Rollins doing a better job of describing what is going on when he's on the broadcast.
When Blair's audio is matched with the video feed, it's about the only time I can take him. He gives good information and seems to be informed. In fact, he'd be a better tv broadcaster. But he's really bad at giving a real-time description of what's going on. With the video, you aren't relying on his description. I frequently try to listen to him when I'm in my truck, and it's painful. He describes things in a way that doesn't let you know whether or not to be excited, pissed, etc. A few weeks ago, in a very monotone voice, he described a play like this (I'm paraphasing b/c I don't recall the player names).
"(Runner) has a good lead... (pitcher) makes a throw over to first ... ... ... runner is gonna stop at second. ... Yorke couldn't get that throw over to him, and it hit the wall. Brown had to come in to grab it."
It was an awkward pause, and anyone listening would have just assumed Yorke caught the ball and was tossing it back. Nope. It was a bad throw, got past 1B, and the runner moved to second before the listener knew what the hell happened. A good radio broadcast describes the action as it happened. Blair seems to give you a recap afterwards far too often.

Has he? Btw I tried to link the tweet but TigerDroppings told me I couldn’t because it was a fake account lol
I don’t know who that guy is or when he posted it , but that information was accurate a few weeks. A lot of things changed. Money came from “new” sources that made this happen. If not for that new money, MM was coming back for another year to make hiring Wade more affordable next year.
re: This team really isn’t that bad.

I think it's what the team is capable of, especially if they have Moore for at least one weekend.
No Moore, my answer probably changes.
I would be surprised to see Moore in the next couple of series. Injuries are almost always more severe than what Jay says. I kinda like that he protects the players, so I'm not mad about it. But players never seem to return on the timeline we think.
I hate to say it, but I really think Moore will miss at least a few weekends, and he'd probably return for his first appearance in a relief role. I don't see Jay starting someone who has been shut down completely.
He’s horrible at baseball. The tv announcers are quicker to describe what is going on.
quote:
I do not want to see Williams unless its to face a left handed batter and that's it
Williams will pitch at some point today. My heart rate will increase bc we don’t know which version walks out of the pen. But the one thing everyone here needs to know is that this team doesn’t make a run without being able to rely on guys like him. You might as well let him work out the issues now bc we need him down the stretch.
quote:
I'm thinking Guidry
You are getting downvoted but Guidry has the longest outings in both innings pitched and pitches thrown. I think Jay was trying to see how far he could go last week instead of putting Sheerin in against Oklahoma. It cost us the game last week but that felt like Guidry’s tryout for a long outing. It was the longest of his career (70 pitches)

The sure up an E up on the scoreboard after that happened.
That’s what I thought too. The live stats call it a single. The final box score has only 2 errors which were serna and curiel.

Not a routine play for Yorke but routine for most 1st basemen
They scored that as a single. Yorke didn’t get charged with an error.

Reaves could go to the plate with no bat in his hand and have the same result.
Wrong. Without a bat, he would have walked. He struck out swinging at ball 6.

Why were so many guys on here saying we can’t afford Wade and to forget it?
Why are yall unable to understand that things change? Two weeks ago, there was no money committed to make this happen. Landry got some folks to come up with the money this past week. its not difficult.

I’ve been calling for several weeks. It was Wade or bust. That wasn’t a guess.
This is accurate. Our coach next year was going to be Will Wade or Matt McMahon.
quote:
Does Schroyer not report to Verge? This seems like y’all are reading too much into this
Several us have posted it and knew about it before it was announced… Will Wade does not like Verge and he made it one of his demands to come back that he wouldn’t report to Verge. Verge was one of the guys that fired Wade. Verge didn’t get Will Wade to come back.
And considering that Schroyer is Rouse’s guy and Rousse is Landry’s guy, does anyone really not realize that Schroyer might only be reporting to Verge on paper?
quote:
It wasn't really a secret that we were all in for Wade or bust this time around. I do believe that if Wade turned us down we would have waited a year for the buyout to drop to do a big coaching search.
This is accurate. Fans don't realize that we were pretty close to having MM back next year.

Call Landry a dufus all you want but he along with Verge and the "money men" got it done. Those donors wouldn't have stepped up if Landry wasn't there.
I'm not a fan of Landry, but he did this, and Verge didn't. Landry (like him or not) gets the credit. With that said, this is a slippery slope. Right now, he is making moves that we love. I hope he quits meddling while he's ahead.
