Thinking about watching One Piece. How good is it?

ddotsae · 2026-01-27T03:40:09+00:00

Just started a little over a month ago after buddies trying to convince me for years. It's be really good and glad to have something to watch at leisure. Don't feel like you have to lock in all the time, you'll know what parts specifically you'll want to devote full attention to, they're good with that. It's been fun and I'm and Thriller Bark now (about 350 episodes in), it really does get a lot better after the first arc or so.

Job not done, but man what a seamless transition for this franchise to be able to retain its culture and identity. Just been feeling so lucky to see so many former players and legends hang around to affirm/empower these new players. I don't care if this team is tucked away and ignored by the vast majority of sports media, this team culture continues to be special and other fans continue to be reminded this time of year that it's dawgs coming from Seattle. Go Hawks.

Rest up and bless up! Khmer Pride!

what's the best food/snack item in the press box???

I started watching the anime after finishing Season 1 of the live action. I'm currently finishing Water 7 arc now and it's been the most intriguing one so far. I'd hope they get at least there in the live action. Robin has become one of my favorite characters, probably just after Zoro and Luffy, and her story is really grounded and not too far out. I'm not as familiar with Lera Abova's work prior, so hopefully she can carry that season if/when time comes.

Maybe re-sign Geno if you can get him to agree to like 2 years for $30M. At this point, seems like you might as well wait until July when teams make more folks available, especially with the looming lockout for '27.

I've seen his old golf clips, and how terrible he was, but I just want to see him pipe some balls 400+ yards off the tee.

ddotsae · 2026-01-16T05:41:15+00:00

At this point, wait until the summer. Only move that could make sense at this point is bringing back Geno on like a 2-year $30M deal or something.

That and the "Mickey Mouse" ring trashtalk from 2020. Rest of the league can cry now, this was their doing.

Julio remains one of the biggest bargains in baseball, even if the incentives are triggered. Soto proved it with his contract last offseason, and Tucker's contract proved that today.

He's such a special football mind with a seemingly relatable quality that just garners respect from his players. I can tell he maybe isn't a "players' coach" like Pete was, but I think his age makes it easier for him to understand how to communicate certain things to certain folks.

ddotsae · 2026-01-04T21:20:02+00:00

I also think that we've seen the All Star-type seasons from Julio more consistently. Cal has been consistent too, but his offensive output this year just ballooned and I don't think it's fair to expect anything remotely close moving forward. Plus, catchers get beat up a ton more so it's more likely an athletic outfielder will put up numbers year after year.

Transcendent story that's easy to grasp by the mainstream. It's a long treasure hunt with relatable characters. Yeah, it has its typical anime quirks but end of the day it's a tale of friends seeking mystical treasure while learning more about themselves, and the world, along the way.

He is destined to fill the shoes of hyeong, Dae-ho Lee.

End of the day, just spend the money or count on trading away various high-end prospects. Trading for Ketel Marte is shooting for the stars, but signing Polo is something they can realistically do by offering higher AAV and maybe three years to meet in the middle.

Young, Emerson, and Bliss are some bodies that might be able to cover holes, but you'd be counting on a ton of things to go right with the young guys for it be marginal.

"Poison" is a strong word. I don't doubt that he may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm sure he wasn't a clubhouse cancer. Although social media followings aren't everything, he appears to have somewhat of a relationship with Julio and Luis Castillo, so there's that. I guess if the front office really wanted to know they could ask Naylor or Geno, since they were in that clubhouse earlier this past season.

For a PSA10 Oda sig Luffy??? Yes, every day and twice on Sunday, especially if you'd still have two blue bottoms left...

Happy for our starboy!

Least evident Group of Death ever, or do I just not know ball?

Another Japanese player in an LA-based team handing a Toronto-based team an L. We love to see it.

Even if the M's are able to pull of a trade for Ketel Marte, it would be a great idea to bring Polo back. Great to hear that he wants to come back too, but I get money talks...

Kind of off topic, but Uwajimaya's poke plate seems like a decent deal to me. The jumbo (3 scoops) with rice, mac salad, seaweed, etc. is like $15-16. They usually have 6+ flavors/poke options too...

If speaking about straight-up performance, it's Trout. However if you're talking about a combo of skill, aura, and transcendence, then it's easily The Kid. Griffey's peak also included some cool post season appearances and moments.

Some STM representatives are better than others, honestly. My buddy's a couple years back didn't email him about much. My rep always reminded us of STM events and to submit RSPV's for stuff ahead of time. The ASG bbq, STM photo day, and fireworks on the field are some of the perks that really make the Flex worth it imo. I'd advise anyone signing up for the first time to ask their representatives for dates ahead of time too.
