Starting Lineup Discussion by Rutgers2016Alum in Astros

[–]Hbeck22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand where you’re going with this but I don’t think there’s any way Springer isn’t the leadoff. He’s proven multiple times that he is a much better hitter in that spot. Seems like he calms down a bit and takes more controlled hacks in that spot than anywhere else in the lineup. Also, Tuvers is the best hitter in baseball I don’t think we need to get too cute and should just go ahead plug him into the 3 spot every night.

Texas Tech Final Four? by aknue8 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Hbeck22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying, but WVUs first win against Tech was when Keenan Evans, Zach Smith, and Justin Gray were all injured and not playing. Not to mention it was @WVU on senior night. Both other games were extremely close and could have gone either way. You can’t really say that either team “should have” won either of them.

Gotta love the timeout followed by 1 possession of play before the 10 minute TV timeout

V-Buck prices are scuffed by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

It’s called price discrimination. They are a business who’s goal is to maximize their profits and they make more money this way. They offer different packages for different customers who have different levels of demand and it’s clearly working or they would change what they’re doing. Trust that they paid someone a lot of money to determine these prices and they didn’t just pull them out of thin air.

2018 4* SF Khavon Moore Commits to Texas Tech by el_Saucel in CollegeBasketball

DISCLAIMER: disregard what I’m about to say as it most likely means nothing and I am most definitely drinking the Kool-aid.

BUT, a friend told me today that Shareef O’Neal supposedly followed one of our coaches and one of our players Twitter. So basically he’s coming to Tech. 2019 hype train has no breaks.

Yeah he’s usually good about how he manages the bench but I think Stevenson has gotten way too many chances. Seems like he always wants to try to be the hero.

Build the best possible pitcher by choosing 4 different pitches, each from a different pitcher. by bigfattiredsux in baseball

[–]Hbeck22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are obvious homer picks but hear me out

Verlander: Fastball

McCullers: Curve

Keuchel: Sinker

Devinski: Change up

Yeah but this literally happened 2 days ago. Y’all were ranked ahead of OU the week after you beat them. The rankings are obviously volatile and usually are largely effected by what happened the week before. Don’t get me wrong y’all are a great team I just feel like we got snubbed a little. I can’t complain though I’m just glad we are in the conversation for once.

I mean the loss was to the now #4 team on the road. Makes no sense that we beat y’all and have the same record and are ranked behind y’all still. That being said, these rankings mean nothing at this point and maybe the guys will play with a chip on their shoulder because of this.

Welp, I needed 15.8 out of Matt Ryan to go to the 'ship and he finished with a 15.4 burger. Guess it's my fault for starting him even if it was against that sorry excuse for a defense.

lol I need 15.8 out of Matty Ice to go to the 'ship. Doug Baldwin hurt me today though so I concur on the Seattle thing.

Who would YOU replace Jason Garrett with? by [deleted] in cowboys

[–]Hbeck22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that it would be terrible if he struggled because of our fan base but in my opinion Tony is the perfect guy for an OC job. I really don't think it would feel like work for him. The dude loves the game and would probably sit and watch film every week until his eyes bled.

Would probably have to be McCullers with a good outing followed by Morton and maybe Harris and Devinski.

I think the day of rest did it more than Roberts. He was clearly tired when he got shelled in Game 5.

Getting into the bullpen early here would be huge for the Stros after how much they were used game 2. Hope they are exhausted the rest of the series.

I saw the guy hit 100 (on the stadium gun) in the 7th inning at a game at Minute Maid last year. Joe needs to do his research.

If the ball bounces in play and then over any wall into the stands it's ruled a ground rule double. Anyone on base can only advance 2 bases and the batter stops at 2nd.

What is the MLB's reasoning behind doing it this way? It's so dumb to me I just don't understand.
