PYW24: Week 17

What Olympic sports are the Diamondbacks taking over?

Welcome back!

Last week on PYWs, I asked you what (non-baseball) Olympic sports you thought the Diamondbacks would be best at and there was a clear favorite, but we did fill out the full podium, so without further ado, we find Dano in third place with 2 recs!

Zac Gallen clearly values and aspires to precision control and location, though sadly he doesn’t always achieve it this year. But it seems like archery would agree with him, psychologically at least.

In second place, gzimmerm with three!Wait

Since we constantly hear about his football prowess from the announcers (sarcasm font: wait Jake played football?) I’m thinking some of those skills and toughness would translate to rugby

I’m going to need someone to tell me more about McCarthy playing football. This is news to me. On an unrelated topic, does anyone know where Andre Either went to college?

And taking first by a large margin, kilnborn with 6 recs!

Ketel Mare would be  a champion in Dressage (horse dancing), because he carries the team on his back

And now for the standings!

With their top three finishes this week, both gzimmerm and kilnborn leapfrog LeftFieldCorNWer for the second and first spots respectively, and Dano joins the standings for the first time this half!

This week, ADC’s walkoff home run got me thinking about rookies. Specifically, rookie initiations into the big leagues. The coffee runs, the backpacks, dress up, etc. It’s all pretty played out at this point, honestly, so I want you to come up with a new family friendly, innocent, and appropriate new rookie initiation. Go!
