2020 Astros Season Thread
Garcia has good stuff but man this is going to be tough. I'd prefer Framber on short rest than rolling the dice like this.

2020 Baseball Cheaters vs the World Thread of Hate
The Astros have literally been the best contact offense in baseball in 2020. The problem for them is being the best at making contact means fuck all.

Klieman would be a solid hire if Urban is unavailable. I like the idea of targeting someone who's been successful in this league.

2020 Astros Season Thread
The teams who do that kind of shit are teams like the Indians who want to field the cheapest team possible that can reasonably be expected to be competitive. Crane doesn't appear to be of that sort.

2020 Astros Season Thread
Given the emergence of Framber and Javier, the Astros should have payroll available to sign Springer if they so choose.

2020 Astros Season Thread
The error was pathetic for both Altuve and Yuli. Still, I don't agree with the sentiment that it "cost" them the game anymore so than if it were a hit or a walk. Every team commits them from time to time and they're fairly unpredictable. The Astros have actually been quite good defensively this season and better than the Rays from a team defense perspective.

Justices can also be very bad historians in a manner that is convenient for ends that match their ideological priors.

Houston pitching is surrendering an xwOBA of .248 while Houston hitting is putting up .389 xwOBA lmao. All you can do is laugh at this shit.

ALCS: Astros vs Rays
The error wasn’t bad luck. The homer wasn’t bad luck. It was bad luck though that they managed to hit one of their two homers on one of the maybe one or two occasions in the entire game where they had multiple base runners. Errors suck, but the end result is no different than a base hit or a walk, which the Rays yielded far more of in this game than the Astros. What mattered was the particular sequencing of those events, something neither team has much control over. In the last game the winning run scored because one grounder was hit so weakly the runner was able to advance to second. This is baseball so these things happen fairly regularly.

ALCS: Astros vs Rays
You can't just take the fact that Anderson walked two guys as evidence that he's much more likely to walk the next batter or two than what would be normally expected from him, and he's walked 5.2% of the batters he's faced this season. The odds of them walking twice to tie the game was less then 10%, and that's being generous. Bregman's lineout on the other hand had over a 40% chance of becoming a hit and tying the game. This has been a really weird series. The Astros have hit the ball about as well as anyone could have expected, and the Astros pitching has been phenomenal. Yet here we are.

I can just see the announcement on ESPN that reports are circulating that Mack has turned down the Texas job. lol.

lmao. This sounds like 9.95 fan fiction (Is this Nahlin? The eyes thing has made him short circuit.) but who knows maybe it's true.

If not Urban Meyer, who?
I think Klieman would potentially be a good hire but someone with his low profile has zero chance to get this job. Our idiot boosters probably would hire someone like BoB before him.
-
Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
He reminds me of BoB in some ways with respect to his philosophy for winning games. Probably also confuses the causality between rushing yards and winning like BoB did.

The school can’t afford it. Boosters could afford it, but tens of millions of dollars is not peanuts to them and how much incentive do they even have at this point? Unless they can swing an agreement with Meyer, that money is likely going towards the hiring of the next Tom Herman.

Ehlinger is going to singlehandedly save Herman’s job this season.

Who’s paying the buyout? Are boosters going to pony up $30M+ to fire Herman and co? I don’t see it happening.

Let’s see if Tom cares more about scoring points or establishing the run on this drive.
