re: JD Pickell picks Bama to not make it to the playoffs in 2026
Posted by InkStainedWretch on 4/17/26 at 1:55 pm to Amarillo Tide
The only reference to Pickell in this story from Sports Illustrated is that he said on Finebaum that we wouldn’t make it. There’s a byline on the story but as Jehovah is my witness it reads like it was written by AI.

I agree, I am closer to what you’ve expressed here, I don’t think I made myself clear in my post.

Macdonald didn’t fire Grubb for refusing to institute a three yards and a cloud of dust offense, he fired him for insubordination. Macdonald simply wanted him to run the ball more. Grubb wouldn’t do it and suffered the same fate that any poster here who’s employed and has a boss would suffer if he didn’t do what his boss told him to do.
I’m hoping that DeBoer has had the conversation with Grubb and Klemm about running the ball more. I am hoping there will be consequences for disobedience.

‘79 Pirates were one of my favorite teams of all time … I can close my eyes and see Pops twirling that bat and then really putting a charge into one. He struck out a good bit but damn, Stargell had a quick bat.

Sounds good to me.
Like I said above, I just want us to hit and compete and not s**t the bed, and if we do that everything else will take care of itself with the talent we have.

The thing about Seattle, they didn’t have THAT much better or more dominant a running game statistically than they did under Grubb, but it was at least part of the offense.
That needs to happen here. There are no alibis if it doesn’t.

True dat.
I used to have a grudging respect for LSU, unlike Tennessee and the Barn, but now I hope they get absolute mudholes stomped into them in every game or match they compete in at any level against any opponent, men’s or women’s.

It’s hard to get away from the LSU bias of this overall operation and it’s especially tough because every living human being connected with LSU is never going to get over Jan. 9, 2012, that turned them all into raving, slavering lunatics who are convinced a sin was committed against them before God that night and are eternally seeking vengeance.
Still it’s the best free option even with the serial downvoters (thank you sir, may I have another :lol:).
To the OP, chill out and take a breather and recharge your batteries and dive back into the pool.

Another scrappy, very good second baseman, like Davey Lopes, that old-school fans will remember, and won a pennant as a manager.

1. Any media person who lets his personal affinity for a team influence his coverage should be fired. You’re not there to root, you’re there to do a job. I’m not going to insult your intelligence by saying there aren’t homers, I am just telling you how it should be. When I was working and covered any sports event or the leadup to an event, I was focused on the job. The rooting was for when the job was over.
2. That being said, the media has always resented teams that win all the time because a big chunk of the media has always been radically egalitarian. I have a Newspapers dot com subscription … that’s a treasure trove for sports fans, I can get lost in it looking back at coverage from our glory days with the true giants of sports journalism like Benny Marshall … and columnists hated and poked at the Yankees in the 1950s and the Packers in the 1960s simply because they won all the time.

Russell has the potential to be a generational HoF talent that books get written about someday. I say that knowing full well that there will be times this year that he looks like a redshirt freshman. The thing is, I’m not going to turn around in circles in the floor wringing my hands about it like BamaBravesPackers. If we don’t win the big trophy this year, we don’t win it. That’s not going to be the decider of whether it’s a successful season. I just want to kick some butts and be competitive in every game and have a serious chance to play for the big trophy without worrying about s*itting the bed in a given week. If we do that things will take care of themselves.
re: MLB Davey Lopes has passed away

Had Parkinson’s Disease according to latest reports … very good player overall who had seasons when he was an exceptional player, could steal bases, was good at getting on base and had some pop in his bat, was in double figures in home runs eight times in 16 years … had a career he could be proud of.

Steve Carlton, Jim Rice and Eddie Murray weren’t chummy with the media and they got in.

Fans that at bitch about the thing being watered down and “The Hall of Very Good” don’t understand that if nobody goes in, it’s a black eye for MLB and akin to the impact of a major hurricane on Gulf Coast beach tourism for the town of Cooperstown, a lot of their annual economy depends on that induction weekend and having a bunch of people go in.
The people who run the Hall … and it’s run by a private family foundation, it belongs to them and not MLB and certainly not the fans …want a steady stream of new inductees, the more the merrier, to them it’s a museum and a tourist attraction designed to make money, not a sacred shrine to the baseball gods.
I saw somewhere that if you literally doubled the current membership it would still not be 2% of everyone who’s ever played MLB so it’s still pretty damn exclusive.

Y’all are aware, I hope, that all you have to do to get on this list is play for 10 years. It doesn’t matter if your batting average was .089.

I agree with your assessment.
I think Yadi Molina who will be on the 2028 ballot is an absolute mic drop mortal lock for first ballot, strictly because of his historically elite defense that was in Bench and Pudge R. territory. Peak Posey was great but I'm not sure he's first ballot material.
