Regular season over, I think 37 wins is a bit better than I expected for E's first year.

Not sure Tony V would've won much more than that with such an inexperienced team...but I do think having Frank would have been good for another 3 wins.

Frank “I love fastballs” Anderson wasn’t going to add much to a staff that has no fastballs

4.62 ERA this season was far worse than any under Frank...hate on him if ya want, but being the pitching staff during his tenure had an average ERA of 3.47, I think his late exit caused more of the issue than the new coach not being as good. More time with new players would have been a big benefit OR had Frank stayed that would have helped.

Happy Sunday
Scripture
Gospel of Luke 15:20 (NIV)
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him…”

Reflection
Notice what Jesus highlights here—the son is still a long way off.
He hasn’t arrived yet.
He hasn’t finished his apology.
He hasn’t proven anything.
He hasn’t restored what was broken.
And yet…the father already sees him.
That means the father wasn’t indifferent. He was watching. Expecting. Hoping.

Sometimes we assume we need to get everything cleaned up before coming back to God—fix the habits, solve the struggle, rebuild consistency, get our attitude right.
But this story shows something deeper:
God’s compassion often meets us before our cleanup… not after it.
“While he was still a long way off…”

Maybe today you feel spiritually “a long way off.” Busy. Distracted. Inconsistent. Maybe life pulled you sideways.
The good news is this:
God doesn’t wait for perfect steps.
He notices the first honest turn.

Prayer
Lord, thank You that You see me even when I feel far away. Thank You that Your compassion is not reserved for finished people, but for willing hearts. Help me stop delaying my return because I think I need to have everything together first. Give me the courage to turn toward You, trusting that Your eyes are already on me and Your arms are still open. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Safe to say they also missed on some evals in the pen. Happens.

Just listened to the Trey Wallace interview on that sec podcast.

Try to count how many times he name drops people he’s talked to or says “I’ve talked to people….”

It’s like he’s trying to convince people he’s a really for real media guy.

Thanks for taking on that task for the RF and reporting back, confirming the extremely high probability of just what you are saying, by reason of which we skipped reading it.

It does look like Trey’s previous unclear, unsolicited, and unsourced original post on our QBs started a fire of fresh crazy in the crazy and crazy-hungry pit that is the FF. I figured this time, Trey was trying to stop the outrage at and dissing of MacIntyre that he appears to have caused.
