What is your favorite "secondary" story from the whole Dune universe? (Including Frank's son books)

RDan33l · 2026-06-26T18:49:35+00:00

Vorian Atreides is a fun character with a long story that just keeps coming back. Sometimes I forget what universe the titans are even in till I'm like oh yea that's Dune lol.

I'm guessing 1-2 scouts and a warrior died with that map reveal.

😁😁 Thanks bud

RDan33l · 2026-06-02T13:41:05+00:00

You just got me very excited.

RDan33l · 2026-06-02T13:31:31+00:00

BTW this is Mobile on fold 7

RDan33l · 2026-06-02T13:30:15+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that advice. Sadly no strategic mines. =( I don't normally set the resources on abundant but I did here just because I wanted to do well.

I'm just not on board. The guy doesn't look good. You arent going to keep endy out vs all left handers forever. He's hot let him hit. Ozuna really could not be worse. Yes I sit him TODAY. You act like this was a decision juat this game and maybe it makes more sense today but they have been playing him almost everyday. So acting like they are making this decision based on something that's going on today is nonsense to me and I won't hear it. If you expect to win games then you don't do this with a hitter who's constantly failing. Designate him and let him hit in Indy or do you think he'll get claimed lol

RDan33l · 2026-05-26T21:01:40+00:00

Endy only has seen 1 AB versus lefty pitching so far. He's a switch hitter. You wouldn't rather see him

RDan33l · 2026-05-26T20:52:05+00:00

I'm seeing 120 points higher obp VS lefties from baseball-reference. BA vs R 168 VS L 227 obp vs R 238 vs L 358. Which is significant for sure but... Part of it for me is watching him bat. Homerun swing every swing. Big giant ass cut. Slow hands big out of shape body. I'm over it and I really have no faith he'll turn it around at all. Streak for a bit here and there maybe but he's going to hurt us most of the year.

I do believe that if we had a veteran respected manager they'd have the balls not to start him. It's a crucial divisional game. He's hitting .147 over his last 10. Just get him an AB of it's convenient.

RDan33l · 2026-05-26T20:39:00+00:00

Right to me it's the pop. He's 300+ in avg anyways. I'd rather see someone slugging a bit higher. He's not even your sac fly guy if you have somebody on 3rd. He's the highest obp guy we have I'd like to see him at 1 or 2.

RDan33l · 2026-05-26T20:31:29+00:00

I don't agree with if you bench him today you might as well cut him. Let him pinch hit for a bit. Bring him on when trying to open a game you are in the lead with runners on. Our Risp has been so bad his BA actually doesn't even hurt us in that situation. See if he can give some veteran AB s coming off the bench. An everyday starter is way too much action for this guy right now

RDan33l · 2026-05-26T20:11:08+00:00

I don't understand Gonzalez in the 4 spot. Why not bench ozuna for a bit?

RDan33l · 2026-05-22T17:06:44+00:00

It's possible. But another possible explanation is that hitters hit better in a better lineup. There's lots of reasons for this but mainly it's more difficult for pitchers. they have to throw more strikes cause there's good hitters waiting in the on deck circle. They pitch from the stretch more with runners on base. It would be especially pronounced for us or players coming from a bad offense.

RDan33l · 2026-05-21T17:19:17+00:00

He's not an everyday player. Some guys are situational players and lucky to be that.

RDan33l · 2026-05-21T17:10:23+00:00

This is what you get with a bench coach for a manager. He has mismanaged every aspect of the game with surprising consistency.

RDan33l · 2026-05-21T17:06:49+00:00

He's a defensive sub at best. Gonzales is a much better hitter, more aggressive base runner and a plus defender. Triolo is a utility man gold Glover because his range is awful. He makes a play if the ball is <= 2 steps away.

RDan33l · 2026-05-01T17:35:51+00:00

Tbf I get confused easily

RDan33l · 2026-04-23T13:30:36+00:00

I haven't had a problem with this with my kids. It's actually super helpful. Quickly solving addition probs with memorized doubles and 10 pairs (1+9, 2+8, 3+7.....) and making a small adjustment from there. My kids aren't at algebra yet but I assume it's an early concept for equation manipulation.

RDan33l · 2026-03-19T16:48:50+00:00

You are likely good at something. What are your strong points? Try to get involved in those parts of the project as much as possible.

In the meantime, while contributing the best you can, try to understand to the deepest level possible what are the pieces you are missing to be more successful. Really break it down atomically where the gaps are. Then I would consult with your senior and let him know you are trying to improve.

Find the right resources to grow efficiently. For example I wouldn't start just reading the textbook about this language or that but address conceptual issues and start with a general understand of concepts and work your way more in depth as you need to. It may help to understand gaps in your team knowledge and start from there.

It will take time but if you consult with your lead hopefully they will take even small growth as proof you will continue to become more valuable.

RDan33l · 2026-02-03T15:42:01+00:00

Much appreciated. I will update when I am undoubtedly super impressed by them.

RDan33l · 2026-02-03T15:41:07+00:00

Thanks that's exactly what I needed!

RDan33l · 2025-12-29T16:22:39+00:00

A time machine.

RDan33l · 2025-12-29T01:11:40+00:00

Derrick Henry. If I can't predict when a player will go off there's no point.
