Agreed. But I'd still be okay with it. Best thing for the organization, best thing for Alvarez, best thing for baseball.


I think the most important factor in regards to Yed is the terms of any contract he signs here.

He is not going to age well and is definitely a DH going forward

I do not expect him to be traded, but I also don't want to hear about some ridiculous haul that was turned down. Given his health issues, not certain a haul like that would be forthcoming anyway.

No we wouldn't. He routinely makes poor decisions that have nothing to do with the offensive line.


This is unfortunately true, but even with that, this team would be playoff bound if it could win the LOS inside the 10 yard line or 4th and 1 anywhere on the field without running gimmick plays

Yeah, medical marijuana would be appropriate

Back to Brown, his value has now become potential, when it should have been a given. I don't doubt he has some good if not great years ahead of him, but his trade return will show the increased percentage that his future is a MOR starter at best.

Now... If it is Ausmus, its not the worst thing in the world because it literally does not matter who manages this shite pile of a roster. However, it seriously undercuts any good will and credibility Flores may have as its a clear signal that he has zero power. AUSMUS also wanted the GM role... Lol imagine how great that makes Flores feel having Rasputins best friend as your manager. That dynamic will be the only interesting thing about this organization until they both get fired 3 years from now. Maybe 2.


All that and a $5 bag of chips with an $18 dollar beer. :lol:

Dealing Pena now probably has less margin for error in the return anyway, and Brown lost most of his value, so as long as they aren't dealing Yed with this "braintrust", not sure it matters.


Should be the most involved I've been in NCAA baseball ever this year

Pay no attention to them

I missed the thread this week b/c it started late right before the games

Far less than his value this past deadline, IMO

I can't see how any significant deals can be made before this lockout is settled anyway, further muddying the waters

This is right up there with OL play as the most important factors in the outcome of our big games

But keep in mind that the opposing DCs gameplans have been to allow yardage b/w the 30s then stack when the field is shortened

Our offensive staff has been well aware of our shortcomings when the field is shortened, hence all the gimmicks and trickery. We have been telling everyone who knows what they are looking at that we know we don't match up well up front AND that we are unable to stretch the field over the top.

You're wrong about the kicker, right about everything else
It worked b/c we moved our LT to that side and brought Green in motion to that side in addition to the lead block from 44

Definitely caught them off guard

Our offense is gimmicks and nuance. We don’t trust our line to get even 1 yard. Our 1 yard success has been very minimal and actually used trickery

We have shown all year in our play calling that we have no faith in our ability to line up man for man. And with good reason. We have 2 OL that are reliable out of 5 positions

A QB with awareness downfield when out of the pocket could possibly work around it well enough to compete with this defense, but he struggles with reads or accuracy even when he has a clean pocket

He is athletic and don’t get me wrong, b/c I want no part of previous statues we’ve had back there, but as mobile as he is, he just doesn’t seem to have the internal clock or instincts to know where a ball can pass without running into a defender before his target
I imagine after paying $350-500 a ticket, they will do what they want

I have no issue with it

Based on the present state of the league, the organization, and even the country, I couldn't care less about who the Astros hire as manager. :lol:

Crane's hires have been Midterm before Midterm was cool.

Apathy will not be good for business. We will all find something else to do.
Only one I didn’t get

And even after you say Forsch, I can’t see it from my memory

His look must have changed quite a bit

The DB is dead to rights with either route path had they been on the same page


I'm sure Watkins has been given a lot of rope following Kiffin from Ole Miss and with lack of depth at the WR position, but almost every intangible is lacking there in addition to the tangibles.

Hands, route running, effort, blocking, alignment, etc.

The Hawaii transfer along with the return of Green has and will affect his touches, IMO

As far as this one play, sure receivers are taught to come back to a QB scrambling out of the pocket, but still a stretch to place the blame on Watkins here.

Contreras is the best C in baseball by any metric with nobody close

Just a born leader

I was trying to think of a comparable and all I could come up with was Bench in several categories but still more athletic

Well, we share a Spring Training facility, so why not?

You're not getting what we want with all the stipulations placed.

We want a Luhnow-type direction and we're getting an endless roundabout

There are sell offs that are going to occur all the way to the 180 day period

Expected, naturally and normally

Plenty of market factors come into play.

Not sure why I'm responding to a twit, but do you live day to day on the value of every stock you own?

You're a frickin imbecile. I clearly said I'm not selling after 180 days, and that I'll be happy if this stock is priced at 150 at that time.

Sir, I say this with no malice at all, your vision is likely phenomenal, all the way to the tip of your nose :lol:

You're referencing 52 week highs on a stock that has been on the market for a few months?

That high was reached briefly during the IPO's initial offering and settled eventually below what you could buy it for on Day 1.

I'm presently still within the 180 days that doesn't allow me to sell and will be happy if it sits at 150 at that time, but it doesn't matter b/c I have no plans to sell any time soon.

Please sit this one out :lol:

Don’t do it brother, this type of bet is how you get Auburn driving into LSU’s red zone as time is ticking down, trailing by 2, only for Brown to be late and inside on an out route and LSU to return it for a pick 6 to win by 8 as the clock strikes 0:00


i appreciate your advice, but I will watch THAT happen and win, b/c I will be getting AU with 13.5 points

From your keyboard to God's ears :lol:
