Can Frank give him his 6-4" 250lb frame? Otherwise Vargas is going to keep struggling. I hate the athletic profile that Getz keeps bringing in. Small guys, maybe a little speed, but very little in the way of long levers or explosive profiles and these guys aren't EVEN GOOD DEFENDERS!

2025/2026 College Football Thread
chitownsportsfan replied to chitownsportsfan's topic in Alex’s Olde Tyme Sports Pub
It's crazy NU agreed to that arrangement. Looks almost like a HS field. That said, the B1G kicked ass this weekend other than the Golden Rodents so congrats to NU. Nice win for ND although most advanced metrics have A&M somewhere around a back end top 25 team a road win against a top 25 team is a solid victory. Michigan offense struggled and puzzling sub patterns. It's almost like the treated it as a scrimmage. We'll see what happens this week. FSU, lol. 2nd time they've gone from top 10 to unranked in the last 10 years. Yikes. -
Thorpe season ending bone spur surgery in elbow

My season is over with an anus spur caused by White Sox baseball. -
How you ND fans feeling about the Ass to Mouth game? My Wolverines meanwhile have a huge week 2 match-up with Texas. Hopefully we get out of the Fresno State game intact. We've already seen a pretty big upset with GT beating FSU, and thankfully shutting up the arrogant and whiny FSU fanbase that really thinks they had a natty shot had they played Michigan instead of Bama. Ha. Obviously the B1G has new members, the playoff is expanded to 12. A new era.

I get angry just looking at the box scores now. Look at those FUCKING SLASH LINES FROM OUR DH AND 1B AND OUR BIG NEW ADDITION. God damn man.

I know the rule changed a bit but any negative value vet is on waivers by late summer for the most part.

There are broken fridges with a layer of mold not scraped off since the first Bush presidency sitting on the corner with a "free" sign that are more appealing.

I'm sure Getz will manage to get 50 cents on the dollar. POS needs to be fire before he can make more horrific moves.

Nick Nastrini coming back, Foster out

garbage in, garbage out. -
We must have some of the worst scouts in MLB because most of this forum saw one game of his and knew he was s%*#. I mean I took one look at his statcast and confirmed it in his first AB as well. He's a slap hitter with some speed that has no defensive position. What are we doing here? He's a utility guy at best.

8/25 Tigers vs Sox, The Quest for #100

getting swept by detroit doesn't even register as a bottom imo. it's just a death march towards the post WW2 loss record at this point. -
8/24 Sox vs. Tigers 6:10PM

andrew vaughn is a staggering -66.7 runs below average in his 4 years playing "defense". -

Apples oranges. Teams sports are clearly different. A lot of the skills in team sports, especially at the middle and HS level, are applicable across them, including leadership, playing withing a team concept, knowing your role, etc. With the individual sports there is none of that and in many ways you need to grow as your own advocate / best coach / sports shrink early to get an advantage. DFW has a good essay about this on his tennis career that stalled out after college.

Well, at least the Sox aren't on the hook for 200+ million for Robert. I said at the time I thought the Julio deal was an overpay, especially on years. I have been proven right. Julio is on pace for 2 WAR despite being relatively healthy until this last stretch with his ankle. He's not an elite defensive CF just a good one and he has serious launch angle issues himself at the plate. Frankly I'd rather have Robert on his deal going forward.

chitownsportsfan replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Nah, it was a shitty day because they solved nothing and in fact double, tripled down on in house bullshit hires. f*** this entire franchise. Fire Getz.
