Look at Ray Ray Run

Yeah poor lefties; it must be physically impossible to hit the ball the other way ?. Instead we should reward players who sell out to the pull side and aren't as complete of players.

Why? This is absurd.

I suffered mightily with ADHD as a kid but have learned to use it as an advantage in my career. That said, I get zoned and when I get zoned I'll usually knock out a ton of work quickly. That zone can take some time; some mornings I'm in it, other times it takes me until noon, sometimes even early afternoon. I don't mind working at night if I'm at my house with my wife doing other things. My brain likes multiple things going on more than one, so it works out well for me.

Glad everything worked out OK for you and the family; that stuff is just inexcusable. It drives me nuts. I've heard people say you can't use raw numbers because it makes it sounds worse; as if a life is worth less today than it was 50 years ago because the population is higher. I just don't understand the thought process some have.

My wife got a new gig and they make her go in 2 weeks and then work from home for 2 weeks - to limit how many people are in the office. She said no one wears a mask except to enter the office; she keeps hers on while she works and people tell her she doesn't have to. It's baffling to me. My wife just started, and it's a new field for her so the training is really important but I still don't understand why so many people are there. The way things are going, it's just a matter of time.

Started a new job with a new company and have never once been in their office. It feels weird for sure, and the way things are going, I may never actually go there. I enjoy remote working quite a bit to be honest, but I get that for some it's a struggle. For me, I work when I want outside of calls, and when I finish my work I'm just done for the day instead of sitting around trying to appease bosses with my presence. Thinking about moving to a more nature filled area with the wife and sticking with remote contract work as a systems analyst. School has been move 100% online, but I get an E-Mail a day from DePaul lately - similarly to what you are saying - about a positive test on campus.

I don't disagree with you, I just think it'll be an uphill climb. If the Sox really didn't lay off front office people it may give them an edge in their sales pitch.

A lot of analysts/baseball development people are leaving the game. They already took slight paycuts to work in the industry because it was the a "fun industry" but now that the job security was removed this year there's no reason for many to stay. They can go get better paying more secure jobs in other industry.

I honestly don't think people understand that when they make claims, the onus is on them to substantiate it. You have strawman-ed this conversation from; players were upset that the Astros cheated, to FA wouldn't sign with the Sox because Hinch was the manager of those Astros. You're asking me to present a video to dispute your claim, but you've presented zero evidence of a single player mentioning Hinch being a detterent to signing. So the person who is making generalization and assumptions sans any evidence is not me, it is you my friend. You also insinuated that Altuve has never not cheated, despite all the evidence you point to and use to discredit the Astros and Hinch starting in 2017 and not 2011.

This is complete nonsense. You are just making things up now. There is absolutely nothing that says the Astros cheated from 2011-2019. The entire front office and coaching staff wasn't even in place until 2015. Altuve has been a great player well before cheating. And I don't need to show you group of players saying they hate steroids more. Every single record was nearly shit on because of steroids. I don't care what Trevor Bauer has to say on what is worse. He cried non stop about the Astros using substances on the ball to increase spin and then chose to do it himself. I have no idea how much you think this effects outcomes, but I know you it's far more than it actually does.

It had nothing to do with a head coach; this isn't college sports. When you're signing a long term deal the odds the coach is there at the end is near zero.

Again, players today are on record as hating it more because it is effecting them directly; it is the definition of recency bias. Steroids almost destroyed the game. Sign stealing is still widely used; it was how they went about it that people felt was wrong. As per your bolded part; no idea what you're talking about. Altuve has been a star for years.

This was for the past dodgers sale, not the one to McCourt. I commend mccourt kind of ha, he convinced all these billionaire "geniuses" that he had about 100 times more money than he actually did. Mlb always claimed to vet so well yet didnt notice that mccourt couldn't even afford payroll lol. Then for that lie and scam, mccourt got paid 2 billion dollars lol

I believe this is part of it and part of the reason he likes Wilpon; I also think he believes Cohen is a crook though. The Dodgers were going to spend no matter what and Jerry was against him buying the Dodgers as well.

This is just an example of recency bias. Players who didn't cheat hated steroids more than anything; it literally cost players jobs and opportunities if they weren't willing to use as well. Stealing signs offends the other team more, nothing more to it honestly. And no player is going to sign for less money just to not have AJ Hinch be there coach. That's just illogical. Bauer would sign here tomorrow if they offered him the most money and Hinch was in charge.

And I think that's complete short sighted nonsense. It's clearly not a greater crime. Hiring Hinch wouldn't impede on anything. No one is saying they would have signed with the Sox, but Hinch is there.

Whoever liked this, thanks for the reminder ha. Tesla has been about as good to me as any investment in my life but for being an early Bitcoin holder. Jumped in heavy at the end of last year, bought continually through March and have seen over a 100% return on nearly all my buys.

Because Bauer told us himself last year. He has increased his spin rate this year significantly and he told us last year the only way to do that was with a foreign substance... and he said if no one is going to enforce it... Steroids clearly are significantly more beneficial. Record books were rewritten because of steroids. People have been stealing signs for eons and the Astros weren't the only team doing this. They were wrong, they got caught, and they should have faced stricter punishment but it wasn't more beneficial to the AStros than the entire team using steroids for example. And i think the benefit has been overplayed by guys like Bauer because pitchers love being victims.

because they're all pitchers and they're idiots. Pitchers could take steroids too so they felt they could level the playing field. Steroids clearly is much more beneficial, if you don't believe me go look at the record books. Additionally, Bauer is cheating himself so he might want to step off his soap box.

No team is going to name a new manager during the middle of the World Series; the only people who announce things during the World Series are people like A-Rod. The rest of people throughout the game will allow the spotlight to shine on the playoffs before making any off-season moves to draw attention away from the games being played.

And nah, Jerry is friends with the Wilpons. I think Jerry believes Cohen is dirty and bad for the game, but then again he's friends with crook Wilpon so it's hard to tell with these guys. Jerry has always hated Cohen though - pushed against his drive to buy the Dodgers earlier too. Odds are Jerry liked Fred because Fred helped suppress salaries with him and shared that same goal as an owner lol

I don't recall, but as someone who is heavily invested in the broken financial system Steve Cohen is everything that is wrong with Wall Street. He paid a 1.8 billion dollar fine because he made all his money with insider tactics and dirty trading and was caught multiple times. He made 14 billion dollars by stealing from the average Joe, and the price he paid was a fine that didn't hurt him one bit. The guy should have given back every single dollar he made since his hedge fund was basically a legalized mafia group that intimidating companies and people at them. There's one story about Fairfax Insurance - a Canadian company. Stevie and his goons had thought it was the next Enron so they started shorting the shit out of the stock. When it turned out they were wrong and Fairfax wasn't underwater and going under, they paid people to intimidate employees and staff members to get them to quit and etc. Late night threatening phone calls, using media connections to smear them with fake info, all in hopes of tanking the company so they wouldn't lose money. Steve Cohen isn't a genius; he's a market manipulator who doesn't play by the rules and literally stole 15 billion dollars from people like you and me.

Stevie Cohen is a crook who literally stole his billions; MLB claiming Mark Cuban wasn't worthy while voting this clown and McCourt in as owners is awful; that's not even counting the fact that Loria was an embarrassment and The Wilpons are criminals themselves.

There was literally nothing intelligent about ChiSox1917's ignorant post filled with inaccuracies and mistruths. The fact that the guy wrote this sentence: "i dont agree that their experiences trump impersonal data and statistics that there is a systemic issue of racism in this country." Shows how ignorant and misinformed he is. People that continue to spew this nonsense should not be respected for "having a differing opinion." Their unwillingness to listen is exactly why things haven't improved for so many.

Willfull ignorance is not an excuse for bigoted views. Saying its disrespectful to the veterans while not listening to the actual meaning of it - understanding it has nothing to do with the military - is the problem. Also, when did the military take over the national anthem again? Did I miss that? TlR was telling a black man how he should and shouldn't protest systemic injustice. He may not have been trying to be racist, but it's actions and people like Tony whose willful ignorance has exasperated and carried on these racist systems for eternity. I'm done making excuses for idiots like that.
