Yes, pretending. You're not even good at faking being smart. Does it ever feel weird to have to make up stuff to create fake credibility even on an anonymous message board?
Actually, I call the shots for Texas Football, including the hiring of Tom Herman. You're obviously not well connected.
Reddick doubled his salary from 2016-17. I think most baseball fans would argue that Reddick's stats are not worth half his $13M salary.
Are you joking? You're in the extreme minority with this opinion. Reddick is worth his $13 million let alone half of that. I'm not sure what world you live in to have these outlandish opinions.
Here's what I could find, ignoring Reddick's performance on the season -- http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/20...ck-astros-platoon-nice-signing-good-work-jeff https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ml...e-2016-17-mlb-free-agents/ss-BBw9BGP#image=24 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-top-50-free-agents/ So, no, I think most informed baseball fans would have argued that Reddick was worth every bit of his contract, if not more when it was signed. Meanwhile, Reddick is currently putting up a career high OPS. Ho hum.
Fangraphs has nothing special to say about Reddick, and got Gomer at $10-11M. Better to go with flipgraphs.
Is this the same as how you chose Wheeler over Lidge in game 6 of the NLCS in 2005? You know, sitting in your den, watching reruns of The Gilmore Girls, popcorn in your lap, and saying to no one in particular "The Longhorns should hire Tom Hermann". I mean, that is how you admittedly, got Wheeler into the game over Lidge with that 5-1 lead in the 9th inning of game 6.
You've now jumped the shark. I think you've reached the point where it time retire this fake persona and create yet another new fake one.
I'm all for diversity in hiring at universities, but I don't think being a moron qualifies you as a minority.
You said you "called" for Wheeler to close out the 5-1 game 6 against the Cardinals. Did you "call" for the Longhorns to hire Herman? You know, the least kept secret in all of college football.
You and your loser buddies have posted here since 1999, but only 1 WS appearance since then. Do you ever think you're wasting your time on this BBS? My 1st post was on May 1, and coincidentally, the Astros are breaking franchise records almost daily. Just a few posts a day with elevated expectations has already produced incredible results-- inspite of Hinch! I'm confident if I reached out to Jim Crane, he could verify thru his golf partner (Obama) and UT my outstanding achievements. Obama would probably tell Jim to just tell Flip how many WS titles you want in next 5 years and your budget, and he'll do the rest. Impossible for Luhnow/Hinch, but not for me...
