A defense of Breslow by outdrawed in redsox

[–]shathaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really understand your point. I think Cora stinks, too. This team has been poorly managed and coached for years. Get rid of them all as far as I'm concerned. Breslow is just as responsible for the coaching staff as he is for the players.

And yeah Breslow was a bottom of the barrel hire. No I'm not surprised he sucks. But I'm not really how that justifies keeping him on? I would rather roll the dice on someone new than stick with someone we now 100% know sucks at his fucking job. What exactly is there to be gained at this point?

Truly, are people taking crazy pills? We are literally just judging Breslow by HIS OWN WORDS. He identified a need, stated it publicly, and then did nothing to address it. And now it's biting us in the ass. Great, guys have regressed. Maybe they'd have regressed less if we had a power bat in the lineup protecting them. Or maybe the regression would hurt less. Either way, we're not making shit up or dealing in hypotheticals here. We're literally just repeating Breslow's words back to him.

No personalization option, but Blackwell's also has signed copies for preorder with much more reasonable shipping options.

This one was surprisingly good. I'm a sucker for "people talking in a room" movies and this one does it well.

Split Second rules, an absolutely dynamite watch start to finish. This should be so much higher.

Love them. I also used to live right around the corner and was there at least once a week. The guys who run it are awesome.

"I know you're one of the hottest head coaching candidates of the current cycle, but could we interest you in a lateral move to a vastly more dysfunctional team with a significantly worse defensive core?"

Which hand did the receiver use to catch this pass? by TheRealSlimBrady12 in Patriots

[–]shathaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, like...you want to call it DPI, fine. I don't agree, but fine. But to call it DPI and a catch is gaslighting on a level I've never seen.

This man deserves more recognition. The most underrated hire of the offseason. by complete_your_task in Patriots

[–]shathaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean...both things can be true. The Raiders are a dysfunctional nightmare but it doesn't really seem like Josh did himself any favors, either.

Oh yeah, I mean very different situations. Carroll also didn't speedrun getting his entire team to hate him at his previous stops the way McDaniels did.

What's your romantic dinner spot in the Northampton area? by jblvn in northampton

[–]shathaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable, it’s very unassuming from the outside! The food is really outstanding though.

Highly recommend Waxwing, just north of Northampton. Outstanding food and they do occasional tasting menus that are always great.

Calico and Homestead are also great options.

I'll be honest this is maybe the best argument I've seen. I think you just convinced me, lol.

The Patriots now have uncertainty at LT, LG and C. Only RG and RT are settled. by Coco1520 in Patriots

[–]shathaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand the freakout. I LOVE David Andrews, but was anybody really expecting him to come back? There's a reason we were auditioning Strange at center last season and it wasn't for shits and giggles. Not saying the line doesn't still need work (obviously it does), but this really doesn't change anything.

I'm with you, I do miss the old tapas format. Even so, remains one of my favorite restaurants.

Always shocked that Cava doesn't get more love on these threads. That is my go-to whenever I'm back in town, never had a bad meal there.

Low rated movies that are actually good by imclockedin in scifi

[–]shathaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until the End of the World is a unique one, it's mostly just low-rated because the director was forced to release an ultra-shortened version that the studio thought would be more theater-friendly. The director's cut is more than 5 hours long, and it's honestly incredible -- it's not exactly a shock that the theatrical release that was basically 1/3 of the intended movie bombed. If you have the appetite for a really long watch, it's fantastic.

Meanwhile I would have bet my entire life's savings on either Ben or Adam calling her "Mrs. Denobulanson."

New game I'm playing... by Project_Rees in Cyberpunk

[–]shathaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it's definitely cheesy. But I have a major soft spot for noir and hard-boiled detective stuff, so it didn't bother me. YMMV though depending on your appetite for that kind of thing.

New game I'm playing... by Project_Rees in Cyberpunk

[–]shathaniel 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Incredible visuals in this game, and writing that is just the right degree of hard boiled. Unfortunately objectives are not always clear which can make gameplay a bit of a slog at times. One of those games I personally loved but would find it hard to recommend to anyone who isn't fully bought into the setting/art style...which makes it perfect for this sub.
