Astros 2020-21 offseason- can't be any worse than last year, right? RIGHT?
I think Greinke gets in, but not sure he is first ballot. Might depend on who else is on the ballot. 208 wins (and counting) will keep him off some of the old timer's ballots in the first year. JV likely has a better shot at making it in on first ballot. The surest first ballot guy currently on a roster, imo, is Brad's friend Albert.

2020 Little League Thread of Dominance
SBMSA and it is not even close. When my kids were involved in SBMSA, SBLL had about four teams in each age group. I'm surprised they are still around. POLL and MALL were the main LL draws back then.

Ole Miss TE Demarcus Thomas Life Flighted to Hospital after injury
from Ole Miss 24/7: During Monday’s practice, Ole Miss tight end Damarcus Thomas suffered a serious injury and had to be airlifted to a hospital. Now, the school has updated Thomas’ status with some good news. After being unresponsive on the field following his injury, Thomas has regained movement in his extremities. In a statement, Ole Miss said that doctors are encouraged thus far. "Following the injury at practice this morning, Damarcus traveled by ambulance to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford and was airlifted from there to Memphis Regional Medical Center," Ole Miss Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine Pat Jernigan said in a statement. "Evaluations have all be positive to this point. He has regained movement in all his extremities, and the physicians are optimistic."

Did any of them have player options in their contracts? I thought all of their contracts were over and thus they became FA after the World Series ended. Regardless, MLB is now in the window for teams and players to exercise options. Nov 2 (Monday) is the deadline for QOs to be extended. QO is $18.9 M this year - so Springer gets one for certain. Question is whether Uncle Mike gets one. I'd offer it, as the downside is that you get him for one year at $18.9 M, which is a $2.9 M bump from this year. That might be a slight overpayment, but it sets 2/3 of the OF for 2021, and gets you to the point where the real labor shit storm begins.

Houston Texans 2020 Regular Season Thread
Agreed. 4 is the real deal most of the time. It is a shame he is saddled with the Texans' D and their cap/draft situation (i.e. furked). Ownership/management sucks, and BOB's actions as GM will set the franchise back for a long time.

Houston Texans 2020 Regular Season Thread
Romeo has been coaching for 100 years. He knows the D is a shitshow. He knew the highest probability of winning was to let 4 make a play on the 2-pt try and go up nine. Titans punted on opening drive and that was it. The D wasn't stopping the Titans. Only reason the Texans were in it was JJ's strip sack and the Titans' kicking issues.

Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
Cross posting from another thread If you are running a multi-million dollar company, you do not go get your next CEO at some family-owned business; you go get the best available person who has skins on the wall. That said, in compiling the list below, it looks like Saban and Dabo are the only MNC coaches to win championships across multiple recruiting periods. Urban and Pete Carroll are closer to Saban and Dabo than they are to Coach O, Chizik, Jimbo, and Mack (i.e. those who owe their MNCs to catching lightning in a bottle). That said, here are the coaches with National Championships who are still coaching and/or age appropriate: Saban - Texas took a shot and screwed it up apparently, so he'd likely say he is not interested (despite his wife attending open houses on Lake Austin); age becoming an issue Dabo - young enough for Texas to be interested; why move if you are him ... unless it is to Bama Coach O - found lightening in a bottle in 2019 with grad transfer QB and young passing game guru; will recruit well (and shadily) Mad Hatter - sort of backed into his MNC with a two-loss team Chizik - not unless he's bringing Cam 2.0 Jimbo - not unless he's bringing Jameis 2.0 Mack - retired on active duty; got run off (but would take if he's bringing VY 2.0 ) Pete Carroll - has a better job Big Game Bob - walked away and has expressed no interest in other jobs; might have health issues Urban - likely to win big; will recruit well (and perhaps shadily); would likely lock down the State in recruiting; might have health issues Bottom-line, even without considering the finances of buy-outs, Covid-related revenue drops, etc., etc., Texas is kind of fucked; either have to sell the University's soul a little bit and roll with Urban or roll dice and hope that you catch lightning in a bottle and/or find the next great coach among the up-and-comers. And as Liquor and Poker stated on the other thread, the BMDs know Tom is owed a lot of money in a financial crisis period and are likely not to want to spend the money it will take to buy him out and get someone new ... so he is likely back in 2021 (unfortunately).
