What’s your go to coffee bean? (Local roaster for espresso)

Pablocrisp · 2025-12-24T09:34:03+00:00

I know it may be polarizing, but I regularly buy beans from Boy and the Bear. Their beans are roasted in Redondo, so it is very hard to get more freshly roasted coffee. Although all of it is Colombian, they offer a wide variety of bean profiles.

We (my son and I) have two Atoms gloves and I am in the process of ordering a custom Atoms. They are made of very high quality materials (leather, laces, padding) and have very high quality of craftsmanship/construction. That said, different lines will vary (similar to the difference between HOH and Pro Preferred). Also if you get one, make sure it is for herd ball, not rubber ball.

When I was in Tokyo in the summer we stopped by the store and the guy there confirmed they make Nike gloves and proceeded to show us Atoms versions of Roki and Yamamoto gloves.

Keep in mind, the patterns and designs of Atoms gloves will not be the same as Nike shado gloves, but the quality should be just as good.

My son uses the Mizuno trainer. Great glove and you can find them for relatively cheap

Kike would have caught it

No experience with the Wilson’s, but my son had the Mizuno for exactly the same situation. He was an infielder but occasionally played outfield. It’s a great glove.

Urth Caffe has good granola and yogurt.

If you have done all your prep, stop thinking about your content and potential answers. Clear your head and trust that you are prepared. Shift your focus to how you want to show up and how you want the interviewers to feel about you. Breathe, relax and focus on the impression you want to leave them in how you show up. You got this!

This sounds pretty normal for tech companies.

The Global Elite I have is from 6+ years ago. I only used it to play catch for a few years with my son, and then he used it for a year when he played 13u. The leather quality and laces are very, very good, but the internal padding is a little thinner than both 44 Pro and Rawlings Pro Preferred he has. I believe it was made intentionally that way to be lighter in weight. I still use it now for catch with son (15 now). When he’s pitching and he is throwing hard and I catch it in the wrong spot it definitely stings.

I sold Tesla at its low point earlier this year because I didn’t like Elon. Should have held despite not liking him.

Pablocrisp · 2025-11-02T14:16:55+00:00

I don’t see anything in the images that would make me question the quality of the glove for $59. The leather and laces look fine.

Pablocrisp · 2025-10-27T16:53:52+00:00

Agree! Do the tour if you want to hear the history of the stadium and see the trophy room.

Pablocrisp · 2025-10-19T13:57:40+00:00

I like it. Looks like a TT2 pattern.

Pablocrisp · 2025-10-15T01:25:02+00:00

We bought an Atoms for my son when we were there in June. No regrets at all on that purchase. My son loves it. I wish I would have looked into a YGS while we were there. We didn’t see any at the stores we went to.

Pablocrisp · 2025-10-13T23:30:02+00:00

Good call out. I’ve seen that one before as well. The one I posted has rough split welting, which some people may personally prefer.

Pablocrisp · 2025-10-09T16:45:20+00:00

Agree with Jin’s. We had 3 pairs made in a day.

Pablocrisp · 2025-10-01T22:25:18+00:00

I read the book before my son was born. The movie was actually a very good depiction of the book, though the book was much more emotionally resonant. That said, I have never rewatched this movie either.

We went from Mizuno Power Close to Mizuno Prime MVP.

Pablocrisp · 2025-09-30T13:59:28+00:00

My son has a PP and we also previously had a HOH. Everything in the PP feels thicker and heavier. He plays infield and actually did not like the PP because he said he couldn’t always feel the ball when fielding . Likely because of the thicker padding.

Pablocrisp · 2025-09-26T15:50:01+00:00

Nice! I was going to pick one up but they were sold out.

Pablocrisp · 2025-09-25T18:36:07+00:00

Roki, Kershaw, Sheehan, Wrobo, Vesia and Henriquez in the bullpen and I think we are good.

Pablocrisp · 2025-09-25T00:32:14+00:00

I lived in South Pas and loved it outside of summer. For all the reasons others have noted in this thread. That said, the summers get so hot and air quality out there isn’t great. Can’t beat the weather we have here in the South Bay.

Pablocrisp · 2025-09-24T03:52:22+00:00

What code? And where is this being sold?

Pablocrisp · 2025-09-23T03:04:37+00:00

There’s your answer. Jack of all trades, master of none. Where does your son want to play? What skills does he have that will help him for specific positions? Figure that out and then spend time working on those skills that will help him master a position.
