@JacobsFieldRBW@dmansworld474 If there’s something to blame, it’s still the years-long inability in the org to develop big league hitters. This was a porous hitting team for most of the year, with few promising signs from any of the Year 2 or 3 guys. As fun as Sept was, questions remain on the bigger picture.
@MattMoscona The problems are many, but on O-Line:
How many combined career starts do Moore/Thompson/Mubenga/Chester have? Plenty.
Adams/Davis have a combined 3 years in this system.
It’s October. BK’s ‘inexperience’ claims are weak. These guys have been around long enough.

@JacquesDoucet The MLB in-game player interviews get me. When the booth is interviewing the mic’d up 2nd baseman not in between innings in the dugout, but while he’s playing the game in the field. Who asked for that?
@OurCLEGuardians I get your logic. Also logical to stick with Bibee who had made Stanton look silly first 2 ABs. Vogt had nothing to be stubborn about & you can’t guarantee a Chisholm out.
Point is, no good options. Tough series/opponent. Appreciate your content all season. Go Guards.
@JacobsFieldRBW Losing Bieber in Apr and McK/Allen not panning out should’ve derailed us by July. Huge testament to pen that we are playing on Oct 19.
Emergence of Sabrowski/Walters may give front office options to find a starter.
Elite pen becomes avg if starters can’t give you length.
@FranmilsEyebrow@OurCLEGuardians The conversation starts and ends on the mound. The bats aren’t perfect, but they work. The starting rotation is priority 1A before the deadline or else the 2nd half is going to be dark.
@RabalaisAdv Poor argument. Could say the same about FSU in the number of games they escaped or had trouble pulling away (with Travis at QB). Would you rather play a Travis-less FSU and Norvell? Or Bama and Saban? The answer is why Bama is in, FSU out, as silly as the CFP format is.
@ScottDKushner@TBob53 We’re living out the crazy scenarios in textbooks that apparently many failed:
“Johnny’s state, Louis Anna, habitually ranks last in health, education, poverty, and crime. Should he focus on A) creative solutions to problems or B) hostility towards the gay community?”
@JeffStanek1 Context is important before thinking Coach is nuts. Was player’s workload managed properly throughout season? Does Coach have a plan (i.e. needs 1-2 solid innings on Fri.)? Does player manage arm properly on short rest? Unfortunately, the answers here are usually concerning.
@BarrettSallee Yep. Can you imagine laying down ‘$x million’ of your own money to pay someone not to work? Crazy to think about. The same ‘$x million’ that could be donated to [name anything productive], or a transformational non-profit gift. CFB is taken too seriously. It’s big $$ biz now.
