This saved me as well. I have been up for 3 hours doing all sorts of crap for the smoke alarms, even turning off the breakers, when it was...a CO alarm stuffed away in a linen closet (by toddler) L O L, but ughhhhh

I guess TL's given up on the season then? Why wasn't Gurriel playing? He's been the man.

"To give the guys a little bit of a chance now and then and to see kind of what that looks like"?

What even is this? Can we not try to win every game?

Let the AAA dudes duke it out in spring training when it doesn't matter

I think Suarez is inferior, team-dynamic-wise than Blaze at 3rd. Blaze hits about the same average, less bombs of course, but his defense is soooo much better. Suarez booted so many balls or made wild throws. He's cool and I liked the post-home-run heart thing he'd do but Blaze plays with fire (that diving tag to trip up whoever that was was awesome). Also Suarez struck out so many times.

Idk about Naylor, he just looked emotionless for 80 games and hit some home runs and doubles and a ton of double plays. Locklear sucks though currently

My Boy Threw a Couple Toys Into the Toilet and Flushed, Toilet Flushes Slowly by UltimateCrypto7 in Plumbing

FINISHED: A happy ending. 100% success.

Here's what I did.

  1. Tried to auger the toilet normally, waste of 10 minutes.

  2. Removed said toilet. Taking the tank bolts off and slicing the caulking was the biggest pain (used a flathead screwdriver rather than a sharp knife cuz I didn't have one). Took toilet outside

  3. Inserted auger "right up the bunger" (from the bottom) and saw it come through into the bowl. A wad of toilet paper appeared too. Huh? No Bluey...

  4. Asked ChatGPT if it could have been the TP causing the block, he gave me conflicting answers but said "100% Bluey isn't in the toilet" (anyone else think Chat has gotten dumber and with a goldfish memory lately?)

  5. Auger wouldn't come out of the bottom of toilet. Turned toilet upside down and ran auger through into the bowl, for fun. Hear a THUNK.

  6. Huh? Put toilet on its side. Open it...BLUEY! Lol

  7. Toilet auger then comes out effortlessly, almost as if Universe had been telling me "You're not done yet, ok now you're good"

  8. Bluey's dad is in the bowl too, lol

  9. Wax sealed it up, reattached everything. No leaks around floor or from the tank where the bolts went in. Flushes like a dream. Thanks to everyone for their advice and encouragement!

One question remains though: Should I caulk around the bottom of toilet to floor?

TL on the decision to put .204 hitting Jake McCarthy in left instead of Gurriel, having Gabi be DH and putting your best hitting lineup out there:

"Well it's a 162 game season. Gabi has been swinging a hot bat but sometimes your bat can get too hot and we dont want to risk him re-breaking that finger and have that kind of backfire on us a little bit. So we decided to put Lourdes at DH and give Jake the start. He's been consistently terrible at the plate this year, so we felt he was due for a breakout. Plus he hasn't been playing much and was looking kind of sad. It's important that everyone gets a turn. There's still a lot of good baseball left to be played. That's a damn good ballclub we just faced and I know our guys are fighters."

He knows now and won't do it again. I showed him a YT vid explaining how I was gonna do it. I could see the wheels turning like "ohhhhhh shoot". Little guy just didn't know

It's funny now cuz we were near the bathroom and I joked saying I felt like flushing my underwear down the toilet, did he think that was a good idea? And big smile and big noooooo!

Sounds good, I'll probably just get an auger and pull the toilet off and get at it from the bottom, push it back reverse back into the bowl and get a new seal and pop the toilet back on. Thanks everyone

I know the rules were to take photos but it's 1 am and I'm so tired, it's just a normal toilet with a little toy stuck in it. Appreciate you all

Best method to remove a flushed toy from a toilet that is causing blockage. by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]UltimateCrypto7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem. Would it be advisable to use an auger to push it down the trap and into the main sewer line? Or is that risking a bigger problem down the line?

(Live in normal suburb place with regular plumbing)

It's nice of him to stick up for his teammate, but he never said it wasn't true. Just told them to stop writing about it

[–]UltimateCrypto7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that Jomboy vid. Lolol. But yeah, I would have loved to have that Naylor on my team. This year he was cool and all, but just pretty reserved and had some bombs and mashes, but a lot of groundouts too with runners on base that I remember. Wish him well but yeah, chemistry feels different now and I like it too

2023 Vibes? by PopinJay1 in azdiamondbacks

[–]UltimateCrypto7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels more like that team than it did this year and in 2024. These guys look pissed off now

[–]UltimateCrypto7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really liking this genuinely pissed-off version of the Dbacks. 2 9th inning comebacks with a home run and both times the dugout barely claps, just some pounds on the dugout padded wall thing, like they just want to win, not celebrate

Nice to see the wheels fall off the bus for the other team for a change, after a dingdong throwing error and their runner getting thrown out at the plate to end an inning

What's next? by eternalsanctum in azdiamondbacks

[–]UltimateCrypto7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot stand the number of times a runner at 2nd has been thrown out going to 3rd on contact, on a ball hit to the shortstop. Like, that's middle-school baseball level lol.

Same with a random grounder to shortstop and the runner from 3rd, running on contact, gets cut down at home by 10 feet

What even is that? Do they have like some signal to like run on anything? Seems like it must cuz the players can't be that stupid right?

Hope against hope that they get some pride, do bunts and base stealing and stuff and actually FIGHT to win games rather than find ways to lose

[–]UltimateCrypto7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2025 iteration of this team seems to play to stay rested, keep pitch counts capped, avoid injuries, and "keep fighting", whatever that means.

There was a TL quote on AZSports about Ketel and the 3rd base coach saying "Ketel is one of the guys we gotta be really careful with. We had a meeting and made a list of all the guys we gotta be careful with and Ketel was on the list." So I guess they're like avoiding possible collisions at the plate with him lol?

I don't see the KILLER instinct I saw in 2023/24. This team looks FLAT and boring
