Not more than 50% of the time. But a significant amount. Maybe 20-30%?? Which is a lot. Most normal years would be 1-5%.

Won the first two, tied the third.

What's the chances Jay Artigues is hired as AD? That would be phenomenal for the baseball program...

You need to review your reading comprehension. They aren't being called permanent. They are being called annual.

What a weird question and a weird time to ask it but I'll humor you. I'll go with 12-- Arrambide, Serna, Pearson, Yorke, Simpson, Carraway, Milam, Dardar, Reaves, Brown, Curiel, and Harden.

I would say Ruckert and Clauss are almost definitely a no. I don't know if Braun and/or Patrick will have enough at bats. Something tells me that Yamin is still not going to see many at bats. And then Stanfield just doesn't have much power. He may run into one, he may not. I'd definitely put the over/under at 12.5.

It was 14 in 2025 (with Braswell's 2 and Stanfield's 1), 12 in 2024, 12 in 2023, and 12 in 2022. Plus the number of hitters is down a few with the decreased roster size. Yeah, I'll definitely go with 12.

I listened to Jay's entire press conference today. The only thing I heard that hasn't been mentioned and that I didn't know was that they are also hiring his former Arizona shortstop for player development as well. He just got released from the minors. Jay called him and Milam 1A and 1B for his best shortstops he's coached. Should be a great addition for Milam and the infielders.

Unfortunately nobody can spend what Texas and Texas A&M spend in any sport so you almost have to exclude those two. We should be 3rd though-- or atleast tied for 3rd.

Beck kinda seemed to me like he wants to be on the team regardless. Benge and Fontenot probably want to pitch but I think they will pitch here.

Jackie Bradley seems like a good person but he's not good at announcing at all. Every time he would get asked a leading question, he would give some completely off the wall answer. It's like he didn't understand the job. It would be the end of the game and he would get asked like what was the most surprising thing he saw and he would say like "nothing really" or say some inconsequential something that was obviously not any kind of storyline in any way.

I think Jared Mitchell is going to go far. He gets it. He gets the job. He's very intelligent. He has some wit but isn't goofy. I could see him becoming very prominent very soon.

The real problem is they didn't let Mett/Odell/Jarvis sling it until 2013 and by then all the defenders were gone. If Tyrann plays in 2012 and they let the offense play with no shackles then they are the best team probably. 2011 defense was still better though. Brockers was a huge piece, among others who left after 2011.
