We needed a first baseman and there was not a lot available.

He had experience and a decent batting average.

As much as anything I think we lost the support of our Arab partners.

They probably were not a fan of losing their oil infrastructure and watching tankers rerouted to the US.

I do not think Yorke will continue playing.

JJ should have addressed his weight with him last summer and fall. So either Yorke was not motivated to get the weight down or there is some individual health issue that prevented it. He should have had the support at LSU to get it down.

He was not the only problem, we did not have a second baseman who was consistent, we did not have a 3rd baseman who was that consistent fielding or hitting, the catchers did not always catch the pitches, the pitchers threw wild pitches, walks, and hit batters, the starting pitchers did not generally get deep into games without issues, there was a lot of things that made this team not that good and it is not all on one player.

At times we had pitchers throwing strikes who were replaced by pitchers who could not throw strikes and would proceed to walk the basis loaded.

It was just a down year all the way around.

How many double plays did we turn this year? Not many.

The pitching was awful. We did not have anyone we could count on to not walk or hit batters. The starters were not reliable like the last couple years.

We were always playing from behind. We were always trying to hit homeruns at the plate resulting in strikeouts and pop pups. Passed balls/wild pitches and untimely errors and mental mistakes.

If we had shut down pitching like we did last year we would have been better, we did eventually start scoring a few runs.

You have to bomb them until they give up. Once you stop, they have no reason to give up.

Yeah the illegal aliens and hb1 visas are the problem


Kind of like ground beef. You increase the demand by letting in all the illegals and the supply cannot change that fast.

Yes it will be there for 100 years and our President should have a safe secure event center on the White House grounds, whoever it may be.

I’m not far from turning in my Trump card on this Iran deal.

I mean they either need to flex the military muscle to end Iran or quit. But this saying we are gonna do something in order to do nothing with no change of position by Iran is getting rificulous.

No she is where she is at because the people of Louisiana just voted for her.

Pitchers can’t throw strikes consistently.

When they do throw strikes they give up big hits.

Not a recipe for winning

Seems like we should shoot the rudder out and toe it back into the Indian Ocean and let it float around and see how long they stay on it.
