Sorry. I said when they drafted him with his motion, injury history and lack of innings in college his chances of getting injured early on was really high. Lots of talent but a very risky pick.

This may be the first time I've ever seen a player injury blamed on an owner.

This is true. However, I don't think calling up a player should be based on what happens if he needs to go on the IL The question should always be what's is best for his development. They obviously thought he was ready to get MLB hitters out and would learn more pitching to MLB hitters than MiLB hitters. There are pros/cons to having him pitch at either level.

The AT will typically do a couple of tests to see what may be going on. He just talked to him for an extended period of time then left.

They didn't do any tests on the field. Not a good sign.

Sorry didn't see it. Is there video of the pitch?

That question follows the same thought process. It's not meant to be clear. You rarely have all of the information and have to answer with what you have and take your best guess. Questions rarely have one definitive absolute answer. You need to choose the best one. For example your question about abduction, the best answer from the information you gave would be all of the joints for which abduction is one of the motions.

It was posted somewhere that he will run nickel 80% of the time. Could be a safety/CB mix for the nickle.

Not saying it will. The answer from the information may be that they won't based on the 2 answers available. Not what we want but that is a possibility.

The Kopech role is going to Crochet to build up innings.

Than that's your answer if you think that is the best information you have available. Some might use information more recent than the last 100 years but if you think that is the best information, there you go. The best information in medicine isn't always right either. This is why we have malpractice lawyers.

I don't need to provide context to it. You need to determine the best answer given the information you have. Information is intentionally left out so you can think critically and determine the best answer. You need to answer the question as given. For the Sox information that you gave and everything you think you know about the entire team and organization answer the question.

It's not poorly worded. It is a question that makes you think critically and answer it using your best available information as you never have all of the information. What is the best answer? Your mind would explode in the medical field.

That's true, which is why I didn't include that one. Maybe if I didn't use it last semester we wouldn't be in this mess.

Grabbing the popcorn now.

Again, answer the question as it stands with the best available information you currently have. It doesn't say based on what happens in the future or what might happen. You would be the type of student that I would need to use my horse analogy for. You never have all of the information when working with a patient. You can't see into the tissue and structures to know what's going on so you need to use the best information you have. If you hear hoof beats behind approaching rapidly, you what type of animal is it? Could it be a zebra? Sure, but not common in illinois Could it be a cow? Sure but they aren't very fast. Mostly likely a horse based on the given information. There are very few definite answers. Answer it with your current best information. The answer could also be why worry about as an asteroid could hit the earth before the season starts and there won't be a world series. Not likely though.

Like I tell my students, don't make assumptions or put your own biases into the question. Read the question, answer the question.

In the good old days when the tv/streaming revenue wasn't as great they didn't play at night when viewership provides the marketing numbers.

Can teams do that in baseball? Sign them and trade them immediately? Nevermind. Saw the later posts.

Do the Sox have anything that can match what the Padres can offer? The Sox need pitching. They can't afford to really part with pitching. If that what the pirates want, I can't see the Sox as a match.

No one wants to sign him for the 1 year deal and lose a draft pick. This is probably what is holding everything up. He wants a 1 year prove it deal or a 5 year deal. Teams want a 2-3 deal because of the injury and poor performance last year but need a commitment worth the draft pick.

Again, I don't disagree. But getting them to listen is fighting a losing battle. We are just old and don't know what we are talking about.

This is all true. However it obviously didn't matter to him as much if you believe the partying and going out stories about him. I'm not saying your ideas aren't true. I'm saying people that age just don't care as much about it as "it won't happen to them." At that age you're invincible. We know better when we get older with experience.

Does a bye in the first round count? ?

There biggest gatherings during the entire pandemic were younger people parties. They are invincible, in their minds.
