Haha. Bad Santa is a great Xmas movie. I love his self loathing attitude and zest for ***ing any woman anytime anywhere. But he is a disgrace to the suit and the Xmas spirit. For that he does not make the list

I’ll bite. Your #1? I have a bad feeling about this

It's not I'll be Home for Christmas, Holidays in Handcuffs, Surviving Christmas, Christmas Caper, or Love Actually

Reminds me of the baseball equivalent of a Billy Bob Thornton. A truly dynamic actor. If you get him in your movie, it's gold. Dude was even in Tombstone.

Hahaha. Full circle aside, I believe Billy Bob was actually a decent baseball player as a teenager. Supposedly had minor league level talent.

He's excellent in Goliath on Amazon Prime if you haven't checked it out.

Hahaha. I am. I’m a purist. I literally have a Santa suit I wear to make some folks smile. My favorite time of year. I will forever look at Die Hard as a great movie but that fact it was on Xmas doesn’t make it a Xmas movie. I’ve had this fight a few times. It’s good talk.

It's not a Christmas movie, its the Christmas movie

They do. But most in sort of an acceptable way if there is one. What the Astros did was crossing the line. They figured it out and not from the dugout. 2017 game 6 against the Yankees was no better example. I’ve never seen a couple of innings in a row where the hitter guessed right on almost every single pitch thrown. I knew something someday would surface after that inning and I was right.

I find it to be excuses. I was a catcher and I played with dudes that at the time were high round prospects and needed to be perfect every time. Obviously we’re talking high school but I could tell when they were trying to steal our signs because so and so was pitching. I would go in, talk to coach and we would change the signs.


Its like a defense recognizing a play. The safety isn‘t going to shut up about it being a reverse.

Interesting. I used to try to throw in a knuckler just cause I wanted to see it dance or do that weird thing where it looked like it just rolled right off the table

Anybody here ever pitch?

Has anybody here every ever thrown a knuckleball or a screwball?
[/QUOTE]
I pitched a little. Relief mostly when we were low on pitchers. I had a nasty knuckle curve that right handed batters used to love to destroy. I used to love throwing that pitch with 2 strike count. Something special about watching a batter swing and miss on that 3rd strike. Sadly, batters hit the pitch more than they didn’t. But when they missed, it was a thing of beauty...lol

I remember reading something about him trying out for the Royals or some team like that and getting hurt while pitching.

And Goliath is very good. Amazon Prime has a handful of surprisingly good series.

I get that. That’s more gamesmanship. But when spies in the stands and video from the scoreboard type stuff goes on that is crossing the line. Even the best eye on the field isn’t stealing as perfectly and for as many innings as the Astros did.

whipple could be the next greatest thing but i don't see us handing over the reigns to a 32 year old WR coach unless he comes in under a Brady at LSU type of set up.

Lincoln Reilly started calling plays at FBS level when he was 27.

Kellen Moore was 30 when he started calling plays for the bloody Dallas Cowboys.

Sean McVay was 29 calling plays for WTF and a head coach by 32. Before calling plays he was a... TEs coach.

People on here don't want to hear it, but the best hire is likely someone none of us have ever heard of before.

my nephew informs me that he saw State Penn DC Manny "I'm Cuban but i don't speak Spanish or Cuban" Diaz at Carrollwood High in Tampa yesterday. I guess he was looking at the three start DT or the four star OL???
