Riley has been one of if not the best hitter on the team after Drake over the last 10-14 days
Austin has hit .231 with .759 OPS last 7 days .245 and .744 OPS last 15 days, so if he's been the best hitter that's more a sign of how bad our offense has been rather than Riley being good. He's still been bad, just not worst hitter in baseball type bad.

HOPEFULLY this will end the Bummer experience
One can only hope. Karinchak needs to be brought up and Bummer DFA, who cares about lefty/righty when the lefty sucks.

Does it really matter whether we are a four seed or an eight seed?
It matters a fair bit in terms of the quality of the opponent we face in the super regional. But if we are expecting to make it to the CWS we will have to beat good teams regardless.

Composition wise, I like these pieces much more on paper.
Yep, much more balanced offensively and defensively. We will see how they gel, but the talent and depth is there to have a really solid team.

Well that, and I also didn't like the preaching that Sanderson did towards the end
None of that would really be an issue as long as it was just part of who the characters were and part of the story because of that. Sanderson made it be almost the entire story during Wind and Truth, which made it so the book had no flow. Shallan, Dalinar/Navani, Kaladin, and Renarin had nothing to do for 90% of the story, so it was nothing but infodumps and pointless trauma porn for most of the book.
I honestly thought Dawnshard was a good example of how to do it right. Her disability was just a part of who she was, and didn't spend an inordinate amount of time on wallowing in it. Shallan and Kaladin having major trauma and working through it is fine, but it shouldn't be the same ole BS in book 5.

But I'd say a solid 4/5 trilogy, book three being my favorite.
Pretty much how I felt about it, particularly with your stakes comment. It's a solid series that's well worth reading, but not nearly on the same level of his Faithful and Fallen series.

don’t follow international as much so I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure fuesntes was signed as a big time prospect
He signed for 75K, so nah. We've had way more success with those types of guys (see Albies and Acuna) than our big money signings though. John Gil would be another one if he works out.
Our big money signings have tended to bust badly. Hopefully Tornes is an exception.
quote:
that I was very disappointed in the end of Wind and Truth.
Yeah, it took me forever to finish that book. The last two books of the 5 had so much pointless filler. Sanderson is in desperate need of better editing and people not blowing smoke up his butt.
Wind and Truth pretty much killed my interest in the next 5 book series. Adolin's story and to a smaller extent Szeth's story were the only interesting parts.
And as you said it was a BS way to end a huge 5 book series.
quote:
seems that those type of contracts more times not been worth it than worth it.
The stupid thing with the Strider extension at the time was that we didn't even get much of any advantages out of it. We basically just guaranteed a full contract for one possible extension year at market rate at the time. It was completely pointless on our end.
Deals like the Harris deal (where we got an extra 4 years at a nice discount) are worth the risk. Deals like Strider are just dumb. And any ten year deal like we gave Riley is plain dumb, those never work out long term.

Same. On the 4th book doing a reread of the series myself.

Bashir brother- the good one.
I mean, he's really good at shooting threes, but he's not all that particularly good. He's absolutely terrible defensively.
Spies like us for me, followed by Caddyshack. Fletch would be next though.

skip Sedona and spend more time at the Grand Canyon
Unless you are planning on hiking the canyon or rafting through it, more than a day trip to the Grand Canyon is pretty pointless. But whatever floats your boat I guess.
And I say that as someone who lives out here and also doesn't care for Sedona (outside of the hikes and trails nearby).
That being said, hiking the West fork of oak Creek canyon just north of Sedona is great, and visiting Jerome, Cottonwood, and Clarksdale right nearby Sedona is great, particularly if you enjoy wine tasting. And I'd just make an Antelope canyon reservation and spend a day in Page rather than another day at the GC.

It's a great series. I really enjoyed his Spellslinger series as well.

Gentleman bastards is my personal favorite. So good.
It really couldve ended after any of the books anyway there arent really cliffhangers and every book has its conclusion.
This is true of the first two books, but the third book is a pretty big cliff hanger. And the first is definitely one of the best fantasy books of the last thirty years or so no doubt.
And much like GRRM, I'll believe Lynch is putting out the next book when it is on the shelves. But I think he's definitely the most likely of the three to get one finished. And probably the only one I even care about at this point.
But Lynch's series is supposed to be 7 books, so I have zero faith it will come close to finished.
quote:
Isn’t this another GRRM/TWOW situation
Don't get me wrong, GRRM is ridiculous, but Rothfuss is a far worse situation than GRRM. He's only produced two books in the series since 2007, and the second book in the series sucked.
quote:
He moderated the Q&A and specifically banned questions about the unreleased book
:lol: Rothfuss being such a gigantic douchebag is just the cherry on the sundae.
The gentleman bastards series will likely never be finished either, but at least Lynch isn't a dick to his fans like the other two.

know nothing other than 247 shows us losing a lot more talent than we're bringing in. There is no one named mantas in the top 100.
:lol: Nothing like trying to make claims about our teams talent level when you know nothing about the players or even where we are recruiting them from.
Regardless, acting like 247 is some kind true gauge is funny. We had the 9th ranked portal class last year along with 4 four star prospects according to 247. According to 247 that plus Tahaad should have made for a heck of a team. And those players made for a shite team and weren't nearly as good as their 247 ratings.
The transfers we have now are tremendously more balanced and make for a much more solid rotation, regardless of some arbitrary rating on 247. Particularly once we get one more wing, most likely the Euro guard Mantas folks are talking about.
I really don't understand why we have Jose Suarez (and Payamps for that matter) on our roster instead of Karinchak.
