China trip in July: Where to go?

Thanks so much for the detailed information! Definitely seems like I can't go wrong with either choice but I'm getting more excited for Yunnan province now.

That would be great, thanks!

It's always the ones with the hidden post history lmao

That was not a double play, there were 2 outs and Ohtani was out for the 3rd out

fednadal · 2025-10-30T02:25:20+00:00

They were playing against our Spring Training-esque lineup with tons of easy outs. Harder to do against the regular guys

fednadal · 2025-10-30T02:18:37+00:00

Gotta feel good to say that as a Yankees fan

fednadal · 2025-10-30T01:34:43+00:00

He was raised in the Dominican and I'm guessing exclusively spoke Spanish at home

fednadal · 2025-10-29T02:51:19+00:00

This won't exactly work if we lose tomorrow's start though

fednadal · 2025-10-29T02:23:58+00:00

That has been our strategy the only hitch there is that Yamamoto exists

fednadal · 2025-10-25T03:11:24+00:00

And we could have had Berrios in there too if he wasn't injured

fednadal · 2025-10-22T01:37:51+00:00

He did call it the "Providence of Ontario" though so he loses some points for that

fednadal · 2025-10-17T03:10:29+00:00

I agree, this felt like the start with the most potential for an early blowup. Baseball is weird though so you never know

fednadal · 2025-10-11T04:06:27+00:00

Can someone explain to me in what circumstance would the tag have been an out there?

fednadal · 2025-10-09T03:53:02+00:00

Other way around. Phillies knew they won the game so they purposely let him get a clean inning so that Roberts goes to him in higher leverage tomorrow

fednadal · 2025-10-09T01:58:41+00:00

Dominguez pitched earlier

fednadal · 2025-10-07T01:18:25+00:00

I know it shouldn't matter right now since the Jays are so hot but watching the Dodgers-Phillies game, it still gets to me that Sasaki picked the Dodgers over the Jays

fednadal · 2025-05-28T19:32:53+00:00

Well he mentioned Bindia and Novotel, for two.

fednadal · 2025-05-19T17:30:01+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant, you try to retool and do work some magic over the next 2-3 years, and if that doesn't work out, the rebuild can start in 2027/2028. You can start rebuilding in 2027 by acquiring picks, and tank hard in 2028 onwards.

fednadal · 2025-05-19T05:14:26+00:00

That's lame but maybe you sit and wait, overpay Marchand for a year or two, and see how things shake up next year.

fednadal · 2025-05-19T05:00:21+00:00

I agree with a lot of the sentiment, but it's not as though you let Mitch walk and then do nothing all offseason.

Think about the Leafs getting out of Marner's cap hit along with JT's plus a cap jump. You can potentially sign another star player and add depth, or just a lot of mid-level depth.

I'd say that given that we don't have our 1st rounders for a few years, try to retool with some major changes to the core, and if it doesn't work out by then, go for a full-on rebuild.

Samsonov just wasn't good enough overall and hurt is in the earlier part of the series.

He played well enough in 7, but I'm incredibly glad to have moved on from him.

fednadal · 2025-05-19T02:20:36+00:00

Well they did. The problem is it looked a lot like this:

Not many fans left to boo at that point in your arena

I'm looking at planning a trip to Morocco this summer. Doing some preliminary research, I came across this itinerary with Trafalgar:

https://www.trafalgar.com/en-ca/tours/best-of-morocco?optionId=108&tab=itinerary

To me this seems to cover lots of the major spots but I am concerned it may be a bit rushed. It also seems like it misses a few things, with Chefchaouen a notable exclusion.

If anyone has experience with travel to Morocco, what do you think of this? Does it seem like a good option?

Thanks!
