    Don’t really think this one is on Joe. Eh, we probably weren't winning anyway, but using Ryan repeatedly in high leverage situations is on Joe. This team has completely backslid the last 3 years under Joe, his choices are more and more against what our philosophies are supposed to be. I just don't understand why he is still here as a lame duck. These seasons were supposed to be precious. Sure doesn't seem like that is the actual case if we have a lame duck manager.

    We are well past the point of Joe needing to be gone. I just wonder if Theo cares enough anymore to make a move.
  3. illiniguy
    Hard to believe Ken Ryan wasn't up for the job.
  4. illiniguy
    That's this group. This core is prone to this and we refuse to change things up at all. It's only going to continue.

    I'm glad that we can't platoon Kyle.

    23 with my dumbass forgetting Kershaw....

    Because Cain's was.

    if it's over, then 2016 will make up for it long-term. but right now it honestly does nothing for me. It's over. Bryant fell off of a cliff. I just hope he is dealt before it is very clear.

    I guess I would call San Diego and offer Kris Bryant for Tatis and another prospect, send him home. We can't afford him anyways.

    How long does Joe last?

    What has to happen for Heyward to not be a regular? Realistically?
  12. illiniguy
    I like that out everyday guys are RIzzo, Bryant, Baez, and Heyward. Results matter this year.
  13. illiniguy
    I am not a Purdue fan, but man I feel for you guys after that ending last night. You had them.

    No disrespect meant, but isn't this a lateral move? Does he have ties there?
  15. illiniguy
    Isn't Montgomery in the pen because he's lefthanded? Hasn't he also proven he can get both sides out with his success as a starter? I mean Carl sucked, but why isn't Joe getting better at this bullpen thing?

    I'm watching our old super sexy Cuban right fielder play against our should have been super sexy right fielder in person today. I am also freezing.

    I thought they finished ok, honestly the slump probably ensured a second year of Ayo which is the biggest thing we need. Frankie needs to talk to Damonte's mom. He can't play at all. I believe you're correct about Ayo - he's no where near NBA first rounder ready. Williams and Nichols? Unless a miracle occurs where they somehow become basketball players, I don't think Underwood can justify playng them. When they're on the floor it's 5 on 4, cannot win that way. Saw a clip of Underwood after the Iowa game, kept stating the base has been laid for success, it sounded desperate, pleading for the fans to believe and be patient. Guess, we've no choice but, to wait and see if it works out. All gonna depend on Cockburn and January getting on campus and all the key players staying That happens and I think he succeeds here, it doesn't and I don't think he will.

    Is Miller going to last?

    Under wood has to get better at coaching air, there was no excuse for air to foul #34 on his drive to the bucket at the end. Put the game away for them. I hope air isn't allowed in another late game situation.

    They are really fun to watch.
  22. illiniguy
    Which probably would force the NCAA to waive the one year sitting out if a player transfers. I doubt they want to lose talent before they have to.
  23. illiniguy
    They are kind of fun to watch right now. That schedule may have helped them grow up. Really hope Ayo comes back.
  24. illiniguy
    Yeah I don't think he ran him off. He is one that would have actually helped this year. But, next year if the two bigs both are cleared we are gonna have some depth.
  25. illiniguy
    If they return everyone and they get both Cockburn and January on campus, they might actually be a tournament team again next year. I agree. Was thinking about all the transfers last season other than Smith did Underwood encourage the remainder of the transfers? In Finke, Lucas, Ebo and Vassel they lost nothing, maybe Underwood thought bite the bullet get better talent, devote a season to development for a brighter future. He definitely purged the roster. He also took the ball out of Frazier's hands and started running it through Ayo. At first that was a bit ugly. But now it appears to be paying off. I really hope Ayo comes back.
