You literally can play tennis with a pacemaker. pacemakerclub.com
Of course that assumes that you were playing before.
The old joke: after hand surgery, the patient asks the doctor, will I be able to play the piano?. The doctor replies, "of course". The patient says to the doctor, "You're a miracle worker...I couldn't play before"
In 2015, about 3,000,000 had pacemakers and the number keeps climbing.;

Listening to Whitesox Talk Podcast this morning and Garfein is saying his pacemaker was put in during spring training and something happened on August 30th that concerned doctors that required an adjustment to it.
This in itself is a concern. The ownership allowed this guy to manage all season after an operation like that….wtf no wonder he is mr mumbles this season and seems so out of it. The dude should not be allowed back in the dugout simply whatsoever
not correct: "The ownership allowed this guy to manage all season after an operation like that"
From someone who has one. The "operation" is literally no big deal. Some people even go home the same day; most stay one night and go home in the morning. Hard to call it an operation; it's really more like a procedure. 400,000 pacemakers are implanted each year in US

Pacemaker comments from someone who has one.
The key thing is to know which type. On a simplistic level, there's a basic pacemaker which helps people like me with a-fib to stay in regular heart rhythm. There's also the pacemaker/defibrillator which can shock you back into rhythm. Obviously, this version is used for more severe underlying conditions.
The procedure itself is very simple and is usually done under light general anesthesia. A circular disk goes under the skin just below the shoulder and wires run from the disk to heart wall. Overnight your heart is monitored and if everything is okay, you go home the next morning. I was told to take it very easy for 4-5 days, then easy for a couple of weeks, then live my life - just nothing to strenuous for a while.
Many people commented about Tony's low energy level. That likely will get a better if the underlying condition isn't too bad.
We don't know enough to really speculate on the course of his recovery.

I'm old enough, barely, to remember seeing Ted Williams and the shift. My recollection is there were three infielders on the right side, but none of them were 40 feet into the outfield. I'd prefer a rule that allows has many players as a team wants on one side of the infield but that one foot must be on the dirt at the time of the pitch.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about Mendick who certainly is part of the mix.

Maybe Cuerto got to Cease. The objective is to get quick outs. Save the swing and miss stuff for when you need it and not 100% effort on every pitch. 50 pitches in 5 innings!!!!

First K for Cease through 5 innings. Never thought I'd see that.

Is Burger hurt? Don’t see him listed on Charlottes available roster last night.
Maybe he's coming tomorrow after Martin starts tonight and is sent back down. Lynn on bereavement is only going to miss this one start.

Looks like Francona feels he can pull a fast one on the clueless TLR.
Decision to play or not is not with home team if it's the last time visitor is in town that season. It's MLB's call -- not managers or Guardians.

So Tony didn't believe or realize there was a problem, yet called a meeting about it, even though he didn't agree with it. Also Chicago media didn't see fit to apparently ask any of the obvious follow up questions that this statement should have generated.
What the actual fuck.
How do we know what he did or didn't believe or realize because he didn't say it to the press. What counts are the private locker room conversations

Yolmer Sanchez is being dfa'd today. He's not hitting all but is a great fielder at least. He might do better back at home

Frank -- Paulie -- Jose -- Andrew
Get him a long term deal now!
Have Jose go year-to-year. Money won't be a problem as Jose is exactly the type of person to whom JR will be very generous.
Next year they should split 1st and DH 50/50

Kuechel started today for Arizona and turned it around -- NOT.
4.1 innings; 4 earned runs; 6 hits; 3 walks; and strangely 7 k's

You know what frustration is: being a Toronto fan tonight. Blow a save in the 9th, 10th, and 11th!

Don't set yourself up for disappointment. Going into this trip, everyone would have been good with 4-2. That's now the worst case.

Well, maybe we should also question the Dodgers and their evaluations because they also took Kimbrel off our hands (who flat out sucks).
The only difference is the Dodgers have the capital not only with $$$ but with their farm system to be able to absorb dumb decisions.
Who's ahead now
Cubs with madrigal
Dodgers with Kimbrel
Sox with pollock
Long term it comes down to crochet as the Sox clearly have best 2022 player

Pinch run Engel!!!
3 man bench. If you pinch run here you use up two of the three.

A starting pitcher with only 4 innings and 3 hits and less than 80 pitches is always going to be left in. The five inning thing has nothing to do with it since he didn't start the first.

Scored in 4 consecutive innings.

Sox are playing at a 100 win game pace in the month of May.

2. Minn 14-7, 667
2. NYY 14-7 .667
4. SOX 13-8 .619 (a 619 win percent is exactly a 100 game tempo). Sox were 8-12 in April which was 11th place.

just to play devil's advocate: TLA would say that his approach on regular season line-ups and bench utilization equals 6 pennants and 3 WS championships
