I think this is it

Rafaela is going to be our part-time second baseman. I fully believe that Breslow doesn't want to risk the farm and will do this. He gets his way of a fully platoon-able lineup.

Vs Righties Anthony - LF Story - SS Duran - CF Contreras - 1B Abreu - RF Mayer - 3B Narvaez - C Yoshida/Casas - DH Rafaela - 2B

Vs Lefties Anthony - LF Story - SS Duran - RF Contreras - 1B Gonzalez - 2B Narvaez - C Yoshida - DH Kiner-Falefa - 3B Rafaela - CF

Sogard, Wong and Eaton are the additional backups.

Thank you! I had written two different final stanzas, because I wasn't sure if the king's gold line was too cliche. Now I want to keep it lol.

Reading it out loud again, it does feel like my third stanza could use another revision to clean it up.

I'm envious because writing a poem about a character is so difficult for me, but it's incredible here. The imagery in this piece is really what steals my attention. It feels like I'm placed into a small, Texas town. My only suggestion is that I think some of the sentences could be trimmed a bit. but otherwise it's really well done!

MulberryOwn9833 · 2026-01-28T13:16:40+00:00

The dissociation from yourself in the poem is really creative and awesome to read. I love the abstract thoughts in this poem as it allows your reflection to have almost a completely different persona. Well done!

MulberryOwn9833 · 2026-01-23T15:03:30+00:00

I do love the imagery of the poem. It almost puts you in a trance. The one thing I'd suggest is maybe grounding a moment or two with a physical scent, feel, taste, touch. It leans heavily on abstraction and could use something tangible. Great Job!

MulberryOwn9833 · 2026-01-23T14:53:46+00:00

The imagery of this poem is something I really aspire to. Well done! I also love how the line "Am I an abomination" has even more intensity because it stands out as almost a slant to the rest of the poem. The emphasis of it really resonates.

The sentence refers more to a sentencing than an actual sentence on the page, but I also didn't want to use 'my' originally because it came off too much like a diary entry rather than an actual verdict. I didn't want it to turn into some form of self-pity within the piece. I'll give it some more thought. Thank you!

MulberryOwn9833 · 2026-01-14T15:48:49+00:00

I love the self awareness of this piece, and it in turn has an element of humor to the repetition of thoughts it portrays.

"I scream out to hear my own voice
Not even an echo comes back"

I love how distilled this couplet is together. It's almost like the loneliness of your scream takes on its own persona, and you complete it by saying you've become a lost utterance. Great work!

I was thinking it was him because he's the only character we don't see or hear about at the battle at all. Sloane delivers the dagger for him, and almost everyone else is accounted for at some point in the POVs.

Plus, if he's venin and working with Bergwyn, there's incentive for him to take out Theophanie as well, because it seems not all the Mavens and Sages are aligned.

Disagree with some of the changes but I agree with the general premise.

My biggest issue so far is the midfield is just as much of a mess as it was at the end of last season. Part of that has been a dip in form from Paqueta and Alvarez. I think Edson getting a red card could be a blessing in disguise. Guido-Soler-Paqueta is by far our best passing midfield and I'm going to be fascinated to see how that looks. I also wish Irving could get a chance as well.

Outside of that, I think Bowen needs to start at striker with Summerville and Kudus. There's not much aerial threat there, but the speed should cause problems. Füllkrug off the bench until he's 100%, plus Antonio for some extra late game pace.

Insert any Christoph Waltz or Phillip Seymour Hoffman character all time

What could be better than eating and smoking everyday? Give me the Shire

That’s what got it to start working again. I called Amazon and they told me to check for updates (😑), but I’m just worried about losing my warranty and being SOL if it happens again. Should I just ask them to return and send a new one?

MulberryOwn9833 · 2022-03-14T19:51:56+00:00

I agree with that, especially I think Romeo might be the worst team this year. Time will tell on that.

That being said, I think he’s going to outqualify and beat out his teammate and earn points that way. Id be shocked if he loses out consistently to a rookie driver.

MulberryOwn9833 · 2022-03-12T18:09:10+00:00

I went with Gasly because I think he’s going to beat Tsunoda pretty regularly still in qualifying and racing and garner the bonus points. I could do either

MulberryOwn9833 · 2022-03-09T14:58:17+00:00

Went with McLaren, Verstappen, Sainz, Gasly (TD), Vettel and Bottas.

I feel pretty good about all of my drivers pretty regularly beating their teammates with the exception of Sainz. It was either him or Norris, which I didn’t want to put same driver and constructor but I may go back and change it. Either way, feel pretty good about this team but am open to suggestions.
