Mariners Legend

True, but I still look at re-signs as adding money nonetheless, and that was my number one expectation for them, as well as upgrading either 2B or 3B

Dodgers, Phillies, Blue Jays, Mariners, Red Sox and Cubs so I'd at least say half, which is still strange. That the Tigers and Yankees are so quiet is bizarre

Oh yea, this isn't meant to defend the Pirates, it's more the incessant need to defend the Dodgers spending from people who conveniently forget this is a sport based around team allegiance, and sometimes baseball fans should be able to just be angry without getting lectured about economics of labor

Preparing to be condescended to by the most insufferable people on this site about how the Pirates or Marlins simply should've offered a 75 mil AAV deal to counter

Technically debuted in the 2020 playoffs

Definitely Wario World or Star Fox Adventures

I've been running through a ton of Gamecube games since April and its just such a peak system visually, and I think the controller is officially my all time favorite. Killer7 and Eternal Darkness are great, Star Fox Adventures is underrated, and for visuals- Resident Evil Remake is an all timer IMO.

In fairness Wagner is also a top10-15 baseball player of all time and a Pittsburgh Pirates legend to this day

Completely secondary opinion on this front is that I think from a retrospective standpoint it's fun to actually have a concrete list of the system's defining games when telling its story in the future. We can do this with every prior system, even the Xbox One

So many of his hits- usually singles- in the second half were unsustainable well places ground balls, a la 2020 Alec Bohm

I think Dave is trying to get ahead of the market on a bounce back option again most prominently. RH OFs are super sought after, I think Bader might get dramatically overpaid. Thats why Romano was signed so early ahead of the other backend options last year

Some say it's a good day for Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

One element of the 2022 team I always forget is that Corey Knebel was closing games for us until his injury.

I remember him nearly driving me insane the game Vierling and Bohm hit back-to-back HRs off Hader and then he almost coughed up the game- which ended up being an astronomically important win

I don't want Marcus Semien to get old

I guess you could note that he won AL MVP in 1985, perhaps it being the 40th anniversary?
