re: What happened with Jones?

Posted by mgdtiger on 7/15/24 at 7:50 pm
He probably had a high number. But he isn’t something special in tools. He is a 1 tool guy currently power. Right handed 1b not a high priority. Plus his k rate needs to come down. ...
[quote]Now on his podcast he is saying that he thinks one of the portal pitchers asks for a release. SMH[/quote] While they don’t need a release. I could see someone backing off due to additions. Take someone who wants to start, but lsu has added eyanson Schmidt and if herring comes back. St...
I have feeling that the shot that hit the spectator that died is after shorter got hit. Spectator was 3/4 of the way up the stands it seems. That is a good bit ff from hitting trump. ...

[quote]I don’t blame Jesse at all for being upset. By many accounts, the job was gonna be his last year, then somebody in the USSF (possibly Crocker) overruled that plan and rescinded the offer. I wouldn’t want to work for people who treated me like that, either. That’s a bridge burned.[/quote] Jus...
This team will be loaded if no es and herring come back. Question would be do we keep all the transfers we have gotten already. Unless someone who hasn’t played much catcher moves to catcher we are loaded at the 1b/dh/of spots. For 5 spots we would appear to have Jones-if comes back Stanfield...

Probably the news isn’t known yet. But. In reality, why would a coach come to the us if he has aspirations to coach in Europe. This job probably won’t up anyone’s resume. Our pool isn’t good enough. Potter is probably hoping for the England job or could get a premier job. Personally, I think...
She and other swimmers were out in a situation that none of them wanted a part of. Yes the 5th place tie and trophy thing was a part and probably gave her the first speaking ability about it. But it was what happened off pool that also played a part. The swimmers were forced to share a locker roo...
Makes no sense. At worse if white doesn’t make it as a 3b, he moves to 1st. Has higher average and more hitting range. Herring is limited to being a starter. He doesn’t throw hard enough for teams to jump on him as a reliever. As a starter, he can work, but hasn’t shown enough unlike jump. N...

re: Connor Benge, DBU pitcher to LSU

Tennessee currently has 1 pitcher. A kid from kennesaw state. A&M has a guy who will get drafted possibly and a catcher. Nvm all the highly ranked guys we have added. This is a guy who had a good freshman year at lsu Eunice. And the coaches were able to see. We have room for back of the ros...
We can still use numbers. A guy they are familiar with from lsu Eunice where he had a great year. ...
I think title ix probably helped push the women to the top, but not as important now. I don’t think it made a difference to the men’s game. For the women it allowed us to build a program back when other countries didn’t value women’s s sports. Now that success has pushed more girls into choosi...

re: Biden to resign next week?

Posted by mgdtiger on 7/3/24 at 11:44 am
If he resigns. The knives will come out for the nomination. Kennedy for actually running. Kamala for being vp. The likes of newson and Whitmer for being best choices. Could get ugly. ...
Yep I noticed that a lot yesterday in the last 60minutes especially. More than it seemed previously. Almost seemed a lack of communication between players on the pitch. First 15 minutes was also so fast paced did we burn out some, plus letting ref issues and injury stoppages get us out of play ...
I think the direction is ok, but slow and not enough people care enough to push it faster and better. Sure people wil clamor about last night. A week from now, no one but soccer podcasts are discussing. ...
I could see that. But the level is not close to other countries. And the seriousness is not close. I think the development is behind, but I don’t know if enough care that it is behind. We can send all our future stars to youth clubs in England or Germany. It limits these high numbers. We have...
When people are using the number 3 million kids are playing soccer. Yes that is my argument. We have tons of kids playing 5 year old ymca or i9 soccer. Whether for fun or rigorous development how many are playing at age 13. That is the age I see kids begin to start keying in on one sport. Footba...
Sure the top players are not high school players. But it is a trickle down effect. We have a very small amount of top athletes in comparison to other countries who are identified at a young age and go to the academies. And we have a number of guys who are foreign born or even grew up in foreign c...

re: tOfficial Berhalter Out

Seems so hard to hold these guys accountable when we have such little depth. McKennie goes to a hookah bar supposedly after losing to Panama. Who do you replace him with if you want to hold him accountable. Especially at this point. It’s high stakes and this is our last real test for 2 years ti...
3 million play, but at what age or level. Most are pre school kids playing ymca or I9. How much does it drop off for boys especially as they get to an age of real skills development and more intense training. How many are playing recreational soccer vs true high quality developmental soccer when c...
