DL making JJ work

I'm sure it's heavily weighted toward recruiting rankings at this time of year, and recruiting rankings are often garbage. Gabe Jacas was a no name 3 star committed to Tulane before flipping to Illinois (was also pursued by Temnessee, iirc) and is now an All-American Candidate. He's still counted as a 3 star in the formulas that consider recruiting rankings, which clearly shortchanges his talent. I'm sure it also doesn't account for coaching, and Bielema has shown that he's a darn good one, while coaches like Manny Diaz (Ron Zook's spiritual successor) have shown they'll find ways to lose games

Did his elbow just explode? -
This is Hector Rondon in 2016.
-
honestly would have rather seen Alcantara there
-
Absolutely dominant 2H performance from Illinois
-
Zaidman "It drops in down the LF line and will roll.... over the wall, for a ground rule double." What a clown
-
at this point, it's just make it to October healthy and hope the bats can catch fire for a month or so and the pitching can hold up
-
Right now, Horton being limited to 75ish pitches is working well. They're going to make the playoffs, keep those high stress innings down for him.
-
NSBB game thread tradition dictates that it says Brewers til they lose now, right?
-
Rea has no command of his fastball
-
I for one am shocked that Ozzie Albies drove in a run at the first opportunity against the Cubs
-
I'm guessing Strider hits double digits in Ks
-
If Dansby was running hard he's safe
-
I thought so on initial viewing... think he got a piece after the replay

Fall of the house of Busch-er

Contreras brothers having totally normal weeks in regards to throwing bats -
Zaidman is soooo bad even though he's been filling in for Pat for so long. Dude just doesn't read what's happening on the field and still gets way overexcited half the time
-
Nobody has an exact answer, as none of us have any involvement in the gameplan. We can make reasonable assumptions, like maybe his slider works so well because of how little he throws it, or that maybe he doesn't throw it much because he doesn't have a lot of confidence in it. I don't know what you're expecting
-
Caissie against Kyle's change up seems unwise
-
Cade with a lead is fun. He just gets to attack
-
I'll be satisfied if they're a top 10 scoring offense. Something like the Bengals' season last year would be cool

College Football - "Week Zero" and Week 1 (Aug. 23-30)
Rex Buckingham replied to Andy's topic in Other Sports
It's also essentially an extra bye week later in the season where they can rest players and get healthy for the final few games. -
No fastballs to Moncada, made him look silly
