Some really good entries this week, but as you know, there can only be one, and this week, we have a first time visitor to the podium in first place, TylerO!

Jake Smolinski discovers

That saying "I’m not much of a hugger" is insufficient defense against the affection of Paul Goldschmidt.

And in third, we finish it off with another first time placer, hventure!

Even though Smolinski knew of Goldschmidt's love of bear hugs, he still wasn't able to escape!

It's nice to see a lot of new names in the game this week, and even nicer to see a lot of people with multiple rec's. Onedotfive's second place finish moves her into solo possesstion of first place!

As for this week's prompt, it's fairly straightforward. I'm sure you are all aware what a #HOTTAKE is. A sports writer, tv personality, radio host, or someone on a blog says something blatantly obvious, stupid, ridiculous, or something along those lines that is easily ridiculed. I want you to come up with your own #HOTTAKE for the Dbacks' season so far. Post yours and don't forget to rec the ones you like! Go!
