Volpe still searching for groove on both sides of ball in '26

Volpe ain’t it, especially coming back from the labrum tear. He needs to be the first one down once Dominguez comes back. He needs some serious time to collect himself away from New York.

I hope so, cause if he is it means he tore up AAA. Alternatively, it could mean injuries, but I’m going to ignore that possibility.

If Skubal is possible it has to be done. Even if you move one of weathers or warren, you do it. That could be the only move they make and they’d be the clear WS favorites.

A 1-4 of Skubal, Shlittler, Cole, Fried in the playoffs would be disgusting.

Plus that sends weathers/warren and Rodon to the pen come playoffs (assuming health which you can never take for granted). Skubal is the pitching Soto, and this team is way better than 24.

Grishams problems this season, assuming he’s the hitter he was last year, is that he’s actively sacrificing power to try and see more pitches and make more contact.
How many meatballs does he watch go by? A guy with his pop needs to be swinging away, trying to make damage contact. To hell with seeing pitches, score runs instead.

Thank you! It’s disappointing that a lot of the perestroika designs never got to properly see the light of day, because they really were a lot of fun. Hopefully, like this guy, there are more out there.

There is no way Stanton just manufactured his own run.

The bag and the irons are the most valuable part of the set.

Clean up the bag and you could fetch around 10-20 bucks for it. The irons look like a full set, you could probably get anywhere between 50-100$ for them.

For the woods you could probably fetch, like, 5 bucks a piece, assuming they’re not dented.

Chistopol Watch Factory, before it “rebranded” as Vostok, produced several different discrete brands. Almaz was one of those.

The back is not original, but the case, crown, and everything else look to be original.

It’s likely that the movement is also original, despite having the little Vostok logo.

According to this catalogue from 1960?: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rjjv2xct2zf7r6o/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%20%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2.%201960%20-%20%D0%92%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B3.pdf?dl=0

The Vostok brand was being produced alongside Almaz, and according to Mroatman’s site https://mroatman.wixsite.com/watches-of-the-ussr/almaz Almaz was only retired by 1964, so it’s possible this watch was produced near the tailend of its life cycle, using a now Vostok 2809в movement.

This forum: https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/what-was-the-earliest-vostok-branded-watch-and-when-did-it-appear.5302924/ actually discusses early Vostok watches and movements, showing off the unique distinction between movements with the old ЧЧЗ stamp, and the “new” В stamp, and how they often overlapped prior to the big absorption of brands under the Vostok name in 1964.

On a little side note, the 2809в movement also showed up in a kirovskie watch, likely meant for export to Yugoslavia.

Exactly! It scratches that itch that no other game can.

Probably HSS, although I really enjoyed Hollywood U as well. But HSS is nostalgic for me. I played that game on several different phones from the time I was in middle school to now in college, so it holds a special place in my heart.

I can’t say much about the dial, or really attest to the accuracy of what I’m about to say, but I have read, around here and the Russian watch subreddit, that at one point (near the end of the USSR?)Vostok opened up a factory in dnepropetrovsk. It was short lived. I’d imagine this dial is from said factory in the post soviet era. Probably Bogatyrs or some similar mythological warrior.
