  1. that last strike was 2 inches outside.
  2. we better get that outer corner also.
  3. guess what, another pitch off the plate called for a k for wyatt. he got it back though.
  4. we are crushing his slider.
  5. nate has been such a breath of fresh air.
  6. pains me as a united fan but we should sell to whomever owns manchester city. #glazersOUT i wouldn't mind trading back tonight. we have too many holes to fill with the picks we have.

    they still sound good. i haven't seen eddie in a while, i don't like seeing my idols getting older.
  8. There's a clear precedent: DT is for news, CR is for discussion. This event isn't producing updates as fast paced as Gaza or Ukraine but it's bringing the hot takes out of CR at the same rate.
  9. is there another thread with just details and none of the commentary? how many were arrested? and for what? how many participants were there?
  10. just read this vanity fair article on cosmo jarvis and it makes sense now.
  11. i'm waiting for the sharpe/hornblower/dirk struan crossover personally.
  12. the details are fuzzy to me but as i remember it omi does divorce his wife who is then give to anjin as a wife and kiku is given by toranaga to anjin as a consort. did that actually happen?
  13. i think it speaks more to how rushed of an ending the book was. i didn't like the book ending. another difference between the book and this show is yabu's character. i remember him being more sinister in the book but the way he was played here makes him a lovable goofball with an unfortunate bent toward self preservation in a culture that expects loyalty to the point of death. i think i like this portrayal more- he's almost a touchstone to modern sensibilities.
  14. yes, toranaga says he'll never let blackthorne leave. he'll keep destroying his ships.
  15. but he doesn't and we know that dream sequence is just a hallucination b/c he sends mariko's rosary to the bottom of the lake with fuji.
  16. not related. akechi mariko, tonomoto akinao.
  17. Good thoughts. In the book I believe the trade Mariko makes with the church is anjin's life in exchange for her knowledge of toranaga's plans, which includes burning the boat which is why she leaves him money in her will from her estates to rebuild.
  18. that's about how we've been playing the past 2 months. lockdown defense and ok enough offense. at times ugly offense, at time high octane v12 but mostly ok.
