Strapped: Spring Training! (Arizona) - Touching Fingies and Budget Analysis

They don’t call Wigwam Gold “Arizona’s Monster” for nothing. Looks like it got the best of Schuster. Honestly, impressive that he was only three short of his 33 quota points. That’s great selective editing by DJ to omit a few birdies to help get him to 30 points. Big J journos, fake news media pushing storylines for the sake of content.

Really enjoyed the baseball content. I grew up playing the game and it was my first love. Haven’t paid much attention to it lately though passively following the Dbacks good run this season. Haven’t touched a baseball in years though outside of using it for physical therapy/pressure point massaging on my back. All that to say, I immediately want to ask my dad to have a catch now. Great stuff.

Can’t believe this guy big-timed Randy

(I am also amongst the people that include votto in my all time favorite athletes)

The baseball stuff, as a brit, goes way over my head…so we gotta talk about Neil’s putting.

We’re officially moving it to the ‘concerning’ column!

One of my absolute favorite bits of the whole episode that’s going to fly under the radar is on the tenth tee:

Randy: “What do you want me to put on the card?”

Neil resigned: A six.

12min into Ep2 and have had three ad interruptions, can’t recall there ever being this many in any NLU vids before. Was it just me though?

Ads to pay for copyrighted music, unfortunately it’s not up to the guys how many ads are in the videos because of music

@MerchCzar is definitely more of a Savannah Bananas type of guy

Youtube Premium might be the best $12 I spend monthly.

Most people haven’t 5 putted because they scoop after 4 putts! Hitting cups will humble you.

Also, my putting was awful that round, but it was more of a hiccups situation than a yips situation. I’ve been putting very good since April (and as the tape will show in part 3…)!

Better or worse than the 100-footer at Waterville coming in Ep. 3?

That exchange was after the 5 putt, and it was a 6 (hit the green in regulation).

Not quite that good, but I’ve been putting much better since Strapped. I think I bottomed out at Wigwam.

How often does Mr. Cameron outfit you guys with a new flatstick if the yips hit? And has Tron accumulated more or less than 20 putters since signing with Titleist?

Yeah, doing this in our Roost Regional qualifier was……something. Had a very somber walk to the next tee after telling my partner to drive off without me. Next round after that I career’d it with no more than two putts. Maybe it’s a true it’s darkest before the dawn situation!

Seeing @MerchCzar rake one was a troubling scene.

I got significantly better at putting after forcing myself to hit cups for a couple years. Sure there is a 5 putt once a summer but I feel super comfortable over a 3 footer now.

While the Royal Tennebaums refernce is fun, I have to say the lack of any Raising Arizona references is a massive oversight. You’re telling me this isn’t a spitting image of the big guy, @djpie ?

Totally agree thet an increase in budget was needed. It’s not very interesting, if they have so little $, that all they can eat is Value meal at Taco bell. I don’t want them at the best steak house in town, but finding an out of the way diner with good grub would add to the fun. (Big hinted at this in the nest pod)
