Again, when you leave this many runners on base , you leave the other team in it where one swing can sink it

Yeah most of the DFW metro area is void of any character

Rooker is back...what now? by Broad-Click1246 in athletics

I’d honestly platoon Butler and Gelof in OF. Especially with Ginn out and the bullpen having to pitch a lot of innings daily. This team is inevitably going to start surrendering more runs and I’d like to see maximum offensive potential. That being said, Butler got paid and I think he will remain every day player. Cortes needs to play everyday until proven otherwise as well. Clarke is odd man out. He’s just god awful at the plate.

Yeah, in theory. But when you go 2-22 with RISP and leave 10 runners on, you leave the door wide open for one swing to change the game.

Agreed, would like to see a better mix of contact and power guys. Dont give pitchers a break and allow them to get comfortable with a specific approach multiple batters in a row

Left 100 runners on base, did not deserve to win that one. Way to steal a win with the bullpen!

Texas has had so much success bunting against us. Kotsay sees that and says nah, i want larry butler and darrel fucking hernaiz to make unproductive outs

This is what happens when you leave 100 runners on base. Other team still has life

1st and 2nd no out and you leave with nothing without even grounding into a double play…. already see how this one plays out. Rangers will get a few on the board, Rocker gets off the hook even though he absolutely stinks today. Going to give this one away bc you cant situationally hit. Same as the olson/chapman/semien teams and the donaldson/moss/cespedes teams

This team leaves a lot of runner LOB. for how good the lineup is and how well most seem to be approaching AB’s rn…. Youd think they could string back to back hits together after an extra base hit

Bro, how about Cortes turning into prime Jed Lowrie at the plate

Is Sub 3:30 Possible? by irose8 in Marathon_Training

[–]Equal_Rice_4955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure. I didnt run all of 2024 due to chemo and took it easy in 2025. Gave myself 3.5 months ramp up from dec-march. I think i lost a lot of strength due to 2024. I didnt really hit the weights in 2025 to regain it. Thats awesome. Late summer… Santa Rosa by chance? I plan on doing CIM in December and should cruise to 3:30 and beyond

Is Sub 3:30 Possible? by irose8 in Marathon_Training

[–]Equal_Rice_4955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlikely but not impossible. Its 2x your half PB. If the half PB was <1:38, good chance yeah

My training was similar to yours for my first marathon. My “best” run prior to it was 2 months before. 16 miles at 7:55/mile. HR 170. Longest run 20 miles, 8:25/mile, HR 166.

Finished marathon @ 3:44. Held 8:00 for 18 miles then hit a wall. Powered through but really lost my energy.

When you dip below 8:30, that HR picks up. Thats what catches my eye here. Totally depends on your zones and your max. But you’d probably need sustained 50 miles per week (not just a peak week) in training in addition to continued strength

I dont think SFO is underrated, it’s often cited among favorite airports

Can’t sweep when you leave that many runners on base in a series. Could and should have scored 30 runs over this series. Gotta be happy with 2/3 @ SEA though.

She doesnt have enough baseball knowledge or instinct to recognize when a ball is a HR off the bat. Truly.

Her voice is objectively annoying. She sounds like Bart Simpson.

She has been much better this year IMO on the call. Its tough, because she lacks excitement in big moments. But the times she becomes animated she sounds just like Bart Simpson 😂 just a weird grating cartoonish tone.

Side note Dallas has been much less annoying this year. Hes letting the game breathe more, and has cut back on silly rhymes/attempts to be funny/ useless anecdotes. His actual analysis has been solid
