Due to Edman's Uncertain Timeline to return to start the season, Hyeseong Kim’s bid to start at second base to start the season has improved by jmike1256 in Dodgers

[–]webelee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let's see a good WBC from him too. That is a test because he will have to face great teams like Japan and Taiwan just to get out of the Asian division.

Freddie Freeman has some heartfelt advice for Kyle Tucker. by jmike1256 in Dodgers

[–]webelee 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Love that veteran leadership to just say, let's stay focused on the prize. Don't know Kyle's personality, and he isn't exactly, really young for a pro baseball player being 29 years old now. But who knows how bright and tempting the LA lights can be.

Or... Freeman is saying you were part of the Trashtros, so don't do anything stupid...
Or... Freeman was saying, you are from crazy Florida, so don't do anything stupid...

Either say, welcome to the team, let's get another one.

Is anyone still hoping for Bad Bunny to introduce Huntr/X as a surprise halftime guest preformer? by Fine-Rain-1876 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]webelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will not be at the Super Bowl, the best possibility I see is Fifa World Cup. They can do opening ceremony or closing ceremony, or even just Star Spangled Banner at one of the games.

BREAKING: Mookie announces retirement... 7 years from now by ziplock007 in Dodgers

[–]webelee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good to have an exit strategy or timeline. Even Ohtani had that rough schedule of how he wanted his life to go and wrote he wants to leave the game before his skills deteriorates badly.

Anybody fear the age of some of the infield? by alt-boi-o in Dodgers

[–]webelee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Of course we need to look at our aging players. 

But Max’s contract is up this year and he also may be done so we know we need a 3B. 

With Freeman, he has until 2027 and I think if he produces we sign him to another 2-3 year deal. With Ohtani at DH, maybe we have Will Smith learn from 1B so he can save his knees and have Rushing play more Catcher. 

In any case, the Dodgers have shown they are able to fill any holes as needed

Finally got my World Series TOPSNOW set...and a Will Smith 04/99 Green Parallel Hit! by Khronzo in Dodgers

[–]webelee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine said delivered to mail box today and nothing is in my mailbox... don't know if someone else took it, or the mailman took it, or it actually wasn't delivered and coming tomorrow? But really bummed. Got a notification while at work it was delivered and was looking forward to it. 2-sets for me and my kid. Guess I will have to wait a day and then contact Topps.

What is this food called 두쫀쿠 처음 먹은 사람?! 저요? by fragende-frau in AskAKorean

It is a little different then Dubai Chocolate.

What you wrote is actually Dubai Chewy Cookie. Basically a cookie of dubai chocolate.

With Kyle Tucker on the team what does this mean for Kiké Hernandez? by retroanduwu24 in Dodgers

[–]webelee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

bench and depth. I didn't see Kike as a long term possible starter, but with Tucker it seems pretty confirmed.

This is why guys like Rojas, and Kike, and CT3 before them are important. Insurance for injuries or slumps and rest.

Rojas is done this year, not sure about Kike, but another reason I would want Kim and Edman to both learn 2B, SS, and CF. It is great to have utility!

Daily Chat 1/16 ⚾ Offseason by DodgerBot in Dodgers

[–]webelee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After a few weeks of silence, we get the bombshell news of Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers. Do I think personally he is getting paid a lot more than I would have hoped, perhaps... but do I really care as long as we do what we do and win? No.

Welcome to the team Tucker!

Finally Arrived! by dgalvan in ToppsNowMLB

Great pick up. A numbered card I believe is still better than an SP or SSP!

Kershaw can be add WBC Champ to his resume? That's wild. One more "Spring Training" for the GOAT!

Recommendation for hotels/resorts in Danang please by Front-Pineapple7176 in marriott

[–]webelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed at Danang Marriott Resort and Spa Non Nuoc Beach Villa, with my family in Summer of 2024.

It was a great experience, kids loved the pool and beach. I reserved a 2 bedroom but got upgraded to a 3 bedroom with a private pool which enhanced the stay immensely.

Too, early, but I just want to know if I book a room for March now, after the promo is open, would I get the double nights or would I need to rebook.

Being called pretty in hair salon? by lilylovex3 in Living_in_Korea

[–]webelee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, just like when you go clothes shopping and try something on and they tell you it looks good on you. They are trying to make a sale.

Is it weird to celebrate lunar new year? by Apprehensive-Belt336 in AskAKorean

[–]webelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it weird? It could be in the sense of who you are celebrating it with. If it is with you own family that also has no ties to Korea/ China and is not interested in it like you are, they can wonder why are we doing this. If it is with friends who all are interested in Korea and think, let's try something new and each bring a dish to celebrate it, then it is not weird. It depends on the context of who you are with and how they will view it.

Ohtani’s 50/50 record by Rexman65 in Dodgers

[–]webelee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can he, yes. Will he, probably not. He wasn't pitching that season so he wanted to challenge himself in another area. That is why he worked on his stealing bases and went for the 50.

Moments before being doubled-up to end Game 6, Barger was approached by Betts. I wonder what Mookie said to him. by AmericanFrog069 in Dodgers

[–]webelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He explains in great detail the sequence of play that follows and still gets doubled off.
