Apparently Has is going full-werewolf overseas. You love to see it.

She’s amazing. I’ve loved watching her play over the years.

I hope we win.

Since I’m not there, who’s typing out the play by play and posting it? I expect it to be thorough and detailed!

Former Billiken Daryl Doran is an indoor soccer LEGEND. Even my buddies, who have absolutely zero interest in outdoor soccer, much less indoor soccer, know Daryl Doran. Mostly, because he was a player-coach for so long. I’d love to go see some Ambush games sometime.

Hahaha Roy, I was just about to ask what your plan was for tonight. I’m still stuck down in Florida. Was hoping for a stream of the exhibition so I could watch both.

Shout out to @billiken_roy! We ‘re in the World Series! Still can’t believe it!

I would put Pepi, Sargent, Hoppe, Pefok and Duke over Zardes right now. Honestly wish Hoppe got more of a look at striker even though I know he’s been dynamic on the wing too.

Right now, Pepi is the #1 option at striker. It’s not particularly close. But I still think Sargent has a role, even if it’s off the bench. His hold up play is superior to any other striker on the roster. If we get a lead, you could bring him on to keep possession. Or play him underneath Pepi if Pulisic and Reyna aren’t available again.

I genuinely felt bad for my immediate reflex reaction being, “this is good news.” I have nothing against Zardes. He’s just not as good as our other options.

I’m gonna be getting some homefield and Unknown and Fred Thatch merch and wearing it to games this year. I genuinely really like the logo’s from Yuri and Fred

William Shakespeare of Avon had the equivalent 2nd grade education in 1500’s. We have actual documents that have survived that contain his signature, and he signed his name differently every single time. His children were illiterate. There are financial records showing him being a (fairly brutal) businessman. He left zero books or manuscripts to anyone in his will. He’s the only writer of note from the era where there is not even a shred of evidence of him ever writing professionally. Sure, physical evidence from 500 years ago can be scarce, but for every other famous writer of the day, you can at least find something, save Shakespeare. And you’re going to look me in the eye and try to tell me this uneducated, brutal peasant, who could barely sign his name, wrote some of the most eloquent, emotional works of fiction of all time? Yeah, I call bullish!t on that!

I was told Traore looked better than expected. What did you guys think of him in the open practice? Obviously not expecting him to play many minutes this year, but going forward, what did you guys think?

I think we go 10-3 in the OOC. That should set us up nicely for conference play.

I’ve always been partial to #RiseOfTheBillikens. I don’t know why I like it so much. It’s not particularly fun or clever. Maybe it’s because I used it sarcastically so often in the crews era that it became a guilty pleasure.

That’s 1 thing I’ve noticed about #TeamBlue, following the guys on social media. It feels like a family. Everybody posts good stuff about everybody else. They all seem to really like each other. Jimmy Bell left and he’s still posting about the guys all the time. I don’t think Ford gets enough credit for the culture he’s built here.

I agree with almost all of this. And I agree that Morris is a bit of a wildcard once he’s fit. But my guess is when push comes to shove, and we’re ready to head to Qatar, Sargent will be ahead of Zardes and Weah will be ahead of Arriola

I think homefield advantage is overblown. Don’t get me wrong, it helps to have the home crowd going crazy. But not as much as it helps to have Scherzer on the mound. (I dunno if Scherzer is starting game 5, just an example.)

Yeah, losing Muncy sucks for the Dodgers. As a Braves fan, I’d still rather face the Giants. I know they had the best record all year, but they just don’t scare me nearly as much as the Dodgers, even without Muncy. Maybe that’s naive.

The Dodgers are basically an all-star team. And they won it last year.

Awesome write-up @abas115 My biggest question is how did TJ look? How did he look defensively, and how did his jumper look?

But where does that leave Zardes and Lletget? *Blue Font*

I’m pretty sure it’s a lyric from a Katy Perry song.
