Levi

I saw him first in Beautiful Boy and thought he did really good. Then the following year with The King I thought he had the potential to be a big star. Watching him in Dune makes me want to watch The King again.

Maybe he meant Lefau. He is from Hawaii, not California, but has been mentioned as one of our best young linebackers we have.

My youth pick would be Canham at Oregon st. He doesn’t have any skins on the wall like Vitello does but I think he’s a really good coach. I wouldn’t want to touch Vitello and the culture he creates.

Kimble, a D1 hitter but a walk-on catcher.

Probably should have played through the short hop and go from there. Tougher to get 2 that way tho

I think Alonso said his throttle was messing up and he was having to use a ton of effort to not slow down. I don’t know if he mentioned it before the crash but he did right after

Solid play by Dee.

That’s what you took from my post? Yikes

I blame the avatar guy

ACE!

Galvin with a good fake

Not even watching the ball off the bat is a baller move.

At this rate I’m not sure Danny makes it to the triple header of Spain, Austrian, and British GP’s. Sad to see because Danny is one of the main reasons I got into F1 but at this point he’s waisting a seat for younger talent.

Palps was doing his thing in the shadows, methodically working through his plan to destroy the Jedi. It wasn’t out in the open. The pompous jedi were not going to search every angle to find the sith. They wouldn’t even listen to Dooku. Had they put their egos to the side, they might have found the sith hiding right under their nose. That is a completely different scenario than how this show is presenting seeing dark side users in the open and labeling them sith (I’m going off what Headland said on wanting create sith story). I wouldn’t be against the order doing a cover up or just blatantly disregarding what they’re seeing, although the latter would place them high on the inept scale.

It’s such a complex story and super difficult to tell through film. In a perfect world HBO would give DV or someone as talented all the budget money they need to make it a series. Thats really the only way to properly tell the whole story.

Yeah that could work. DV has done a good job with his version thus far so I’m just going to trust him and hopefully it lands.

I just started the prophet section of the book, so I totally understand. I haven’t got to your other bullet points, but she’s still a different character from where I’m at. I can see why he didn’t have her support Paul there at the end because it would have confused the audience at that point. I bet in Messiah, we see her come around and support Paul, which would be more true to her character in the book.

Here’s an explanation from himself. I don’t necessarily get the guy tweeting tho. Everyone I’ve talked to understood the message quite clearly from the movies pov.

He has horrible discipline at the plate, which you don’t need a stat to see. Theres a difference between being aggressive and having horrible plate discipline. But I’ll use stats from last season and I won’t bother to compare it to the ‘21 season when he was a true freshman. Last year he hit .222 in conference play with 12 RBI’s and an OPS of .622. Overall he had an avg of .284 with 37 RBI’s and an OPS .794. That means the majority of his damage came against non-conference opponents, which were very meh outside of the very beginning, and the postseason. He didn’t do nothing in Arlington, but did pretty good in the postseason. If you want to hang your hat on five postseason games at the end of the season, then go ahead. Hell Daly had one of his best stretches in those five games as well. But right now I’m looking at a guy with a .209 avg with 11 RBI’s and an OPS of .655. My whole deal with Kennedy is that I believe he should get more run to see if there’s a sizable difference between him and Jack. Coming in later in the ball game isn’t going to do that. If he proves that there isn’t much difference at all, then platoon them with method of whoever’s hot.

Ultimately going to agree to disagree here. Like Hobbes has already said, reasonable level isn’t what I’d describe O’Dowd as. Heck, I hope your last little paragraph isn’t true because O’Dowd would more than likely not fit Pierce’s definition of a capable hitter. I’m looking at O’Dowd holistically and not what he’s done against poor pitching the last couple of weekends. Again he’s had some nice, timely AB’s but then he’s also looked like a complete buffoon at the plate. Guessing will only get you so far and it never adds up to consistency. I’m not necessarily saying we have to drop him for the rest of season. I just would like to see a young kid with potential get a handful of games in a row against a soft part of the schedule to see what he’s got. Already we’ve seen Dee gives us more range, albeit with some freshmen wtf moments but that’s to expected and with more reps we could see that issue fade. At the plate it’s still up in the air imo. Dee has shown competitiveness at the plate and maybe that translates into more hits. I’d like to find out. If not then you know exactly what O’Dowd brings and Pierce can roll with the engagement/rotating between the two.

In the book when Stilgar tells Jamis’s “wife” that Paul will now look after her and decide what relationship they will have, her immediate reaction to Paul is he’s basically boy. And Stilgar is like yeah but he kicked Jamis’s ass tho so deal with it.

The thing with Dee is he has a ton of potential and could be a good player for us later in the year but the only way that can happen is if he gets plenty of reps. We know what O’Dowd brings to the table. Pedestrian defense and a very hot or cold bat. I mean at times it’s not even game to game but rather AB to AB. He could pull a double down the line and next AB look completely lost against the same pitcher.

Are Greg and Kieth going to the SEC with us for home games?

O’Dowd is too decisive, swinging at crap it rolling over. Then Kennedy, too indecisive and not swinging at strikes. Still think Dee should be playing more and hopefully he becomes more relaxed/aggressive.
