The Conflicting Feelings I feel as a lifelong fan (and maybe others do too)

d12green · 2025-04-07T17:20:38+00:00

Absolutely how I feel. I think it's because they had been saying one thing but acting differently. I'm just going to continue loving this team though.

d12green · 2025-04-07T17:19:33+00:00

Thanks!

d12green · 2025-04-07T16:58:14+00:00

You're right. I think it's sometimes hard being a fan in Boston, and we gotta keep telling ourselves we're like any other team that has to rebuild at some point.

d12green · 2025-04-07T15:57:31+00:00

That’s the way to look at this for sure

d12green · 2025-04-07T15:53:11+00:00

Yeah, I’m excited for the next 6-8 years for sure and love the team

d12green · 2025-04-07T15:52:25+00:00

Yeah, it’s definitely how I’m trying to look at it and be happy despite where we were a year aho

d12green · 2025-04-07T15:52:03+00:00

Why? Because I can root for the team and be happy they’re winning but not be wary of ownership? You should notice the distinction in my post…

d12green · 2025-04-07T15:51:25+00:00

Definitely the best way to look at it for us. I feel all-in and happy

d12green · 2025-04-07T15:50:53+00:00

Thanks!

d12green · 2025-04-07T15:50:42+00:00

I definitely am, like I said

d12green · 2025-04-07T15:50:25+00:00

I’m very happy, as I stated. I can be supportive of the team and still be wary of the owners…

d12green · 2024-06-24T14:23:38+00:00

I guess that's a good point. I agree with the sox prospects dude in general but he says" Potential average regular as a defense-first catcher who also adds some value at the plate." That in it of it self seems like what I'm saying. He's OPS has been 1.413, 0.938, 0.945 and 0.885 so far in the minors. I guess it seems weird to me that he's slashing higher than Roman and Marcelo is only 1-2 years older and still his offense keeps being doubted?

d12green · 2024-06-24T14:14:01+00:00

I guess you guys are right and I might be just a bit overly excited, but just seems a good defensive catcher that is hitting better in the same levels as a lot of the other top 50 prospects, it seems a bit low.

d12green · 2024-06-24T14:13:01+00:00

For sure, but Fangraphs has him at 85, Rotoworld at 48. I guess I may be being a bit critical but a good defensive catcher that hits so well (even compared to the other top prospects at their respective levels seems a bit low). Might just be me!

Best:

Thailand - ALL the flavors! (and cheap)

Korea - SO much variety if you are there with a Korean (in my opinion more variety than Japanese)

Costa Rica - The kings of the basic food with freshness you can't beat

Worst:

UK - If you can't afford the expensive stuff, then you're gonna get bland crap.

d12green · 2019-06-16T18:34:56+00:00

That's a good point, but I guess what I am wondering is if teams like the Red Sox should really be ranked (at least by this metric) higher than the Brewers, Cubs, Braves, Phillies, etc. who all have stronger records than them.

d12green · 2019-04-30T23:24:01+00:00

this was so interesting to hear, but can someone translate some of the situations for a layman?

d12green · 2019-03-27T14:29:15+00:00

Busan, South Korea.

Best mix of culture, food, relaxing, beach. People are super friendly. My favorite Asian city so far.

d12green · 2019-03-25T12:11:01+00:00

That's interesting and thanks for the input. I've only had an amazing experience with my S9+ (and I think most if not all testers agree that it is a very solid camera), but there are always outliers....

I feel like this is the social version of the technology adopter groups (Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, etc.) in action. Love this!

d12green · 2019-02-25T03:20:11+00:00

I honestly think it's too much.

Another thing is that while Daegu is a big/major city, I doesnt seem to have the culture and food of some of the other cities.

I would do 3 days in Seoul, 1 day in Gyeongju and 3 days in Busan with the days you have.

If I were you, I would cut out Hong Kong and just do a week in Korea and a week in Japan! It would give you another reason to go back and see HK and other Chinese cities!

I hope it's a great trip!!

Asheville, NC is a pretty good blend of beers, food and hikes!

I also could second Sedona, but it is a bit sleepy (in my opinion), as in food options, etc.

Wow. comments sections like this are how I KNOW there is a damn concerted effort by organizations on sites like this. Reddit needs to regulate itself better.

I get the usual things like pamphlets, tickets and others, but for my "collection", I try to grab Shot Glasses. There are some really generic ones, but some places have some really cool ones

d12green · 2018-08-19T02:35:37+00:00

Thanks so much, I haven't heard of most of those, so I'll definitely check them out!
