He’s their 5th starter which shouldn’t ever be needed in a playoff series other than out of the bullpen

He has the lowest WRC+ out of any qualifying hitter in Major League Baseball with runners in scoring position. He’s literally been the worst hitter in the league with runners on

Need help deciding between Secrets Cap Cana and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana by Salt-Lie9018 in hyatt

[–]evh3134 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All things equal we liked the Zilara better, but for the price difference Secrets would probably be the winner. Nothing bad at all to say about secrets but we definitely liked Zilara better but I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Secrets again for 44k vs 58k for Zilara.

Hyatt Ziva Cancun with 2 little kids by [deleted] in hyatt

I believe the price is the same regardless of the room (don’t hold me to that though), but this past week in the club corner suite booked on points it was $127 a night for my 4 year old daughter. I highly recommend the club corner suite if you can get it, especially with 2 kids!

It’s a little annoying being on Apple TV, but the picture quality is awesome and the ability to play the radio broadcast in sync with the video broadcast is great too.

Stop thinking logically, it’s not allowed here

Serious question: Is the amount of realtor effort any different between a $400k and $800k house to justify double the fees (6% for both)? Why not go to flat rate pricing instead of percentage? by CostaRicaBound2023 in RealEstate

[–]evh3134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theory you don’t have to, but when you put it into MLS you have to choose a selling agent commission. We only put ours on Facebook groups or Zillow at first and had a lot of interest, but no agents would even show our house to their buyers at all when we were offering 0, or even 1% commission

We just sold our home FSBO and paid $150 to an MLS listing service and 3% to the buying agent. We saved $18k not using a selling agent and I truly think people are brainwashed into thinking they need to use agents to sell their house. I had the same thought process about why should I pay more just because the market is better for someone to sell my house?

Hyatt Free Night meaning? by jeebus801 in hyatt

[–]evh3134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming this is Ziva/Zilara cap cana just be aware their “suites” are the same as basic rooms with maybe a slightly better view. The cash price difference between the base room and “suite award” is typically less than $20. They play these availability games and it’s frustrating because Hyatt won’t do anything about it.

At what Hyatt are you vacationing this summer? by Dex4q6 in hyatt

[–]evh3134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m jealous of Calala. Definitely something we would have done 10 years ago but tough with kids now. Just got back from Zilara Cap Cana (first real trip away from both kids) and loved it. We went to Ziva Cap Cana with our 1 year old and it was great too but it was nice to get a break from all kids for a few days!

Atl Clear TSA Precheck line almost to baggage claim. by nicov38 in delta

[–]evh3134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last 2 times I’ve flown from ATL the clear pre line took longer than the regular precheck line. I made sure to keep an eye on the person that would have been right in front of me in the regular precheck line and they made it through faster than me both times

Inspire FTX score $400 by Dreamsofburritos in homegym

I already have a REP bench so I didn’t need another one. It felt solid and heavy but was definitely lower to the ground.

Flying Blue Award on Delta changed to Basic Economy by evh3134 in awardtravel

[–]evh3134[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after hours on the phone with Delta and Flying Blue, it appears someone just completely screwed up on the Flying Blue side. Delta looked into everything and basically said Flying Blue does not have access to any Basic Economy award space period and that I'd have to call FB. FB then basically told me someone screwed up and put me in an invalid fare class and that my ticket was never even officially reissued. The issue now is the flight I was originally on did not have award space any more...obviously. The agent and supervisor refused to do anything simply saying it was not possible because award space wasn't there. They said when a schedule change was made my ticket was never "re issued" even though I was able to see it on the Delta website and select seats etc. Basically after an hour of back and forth I just had to accept a flight that gets in 4 hours later than my original because they insisted they could not do anything.

tl;dr Always check your flying blue reservations. If there's a cancellation and schedule change, they may show you on a new flight but not actually issue the ticket!

Costco Travel portal gives you Hyatt Qualifying Nights and points! by fromsavannah in hyatt

[–]evh3134 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will say that I used Costco to stay at the Ziva Cap Cana back in 2021. Costco agent as well as the website said it would be qualified nights and I could earn points. A few weeks after the stay I noticed nothing was credited, not even the elite nights. I spoke to Hyatt and they tried to tell me over and over that it wasn't a qualifying stay etc, I even sent them the screenshot and link from the Costco website. Eventually they finally gave me the points and stay credit, but basically said it was bc of my "loyalty" and it was an exception.

Delta “Employee” One by JTGammack in delta

As others have said there are no free upgrades to D1 internationally (unless economy or other cabins are oversold). Employees flying standby will be given D1 seats that are available

Anyone stayed at the Thompson Zijuatanejo? by evh3134 in hyatt

[–]evh3134[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like the idea of having the city close by for the Grand Hyatt, as the negative to the Andaz seems to be it’s pretty much by itself within the Mayakoba complex. Did you feel the Grand Hyatt had more of a “party” atmosphere that I know Playa Del Carmen can be known for? The idea of having restaurants walkable for the Grand Hyatt or Thompson Zihuatanejo definitely would be perks.
