It also got us Adam Eaton.

Last I knew they had a set up with lots of camera angles at Sox Park and that is where they call the games from.

Yes.

Go back and watch the trike zone that Greg Maddux got back in the day. Check out the strike zone in the El Duque Marlins game where he struck out about 15 guys. Call me crazy but I think it is better today because of technology, but with things like the strike zone box, it is easier for a fan to notice a bad call

We have done a great job of turning late round picks into usable players in recent years . Mendick, Engel, Foster etc are probably 10 million worth of players on the open market.

I will say this much. After a relatively cheap winter, and 100% capacity coming up, this team should have the monetary resources to acquire some contracts and not waste prospects wherever possible.

DICKMAN!

With an injury, no.

With the late start, they go through Sept 19, at least in Charlotte.

It also HASN'T changed in the last two years, so an apples to apples comparison of before and after the pandemic start date is a valid one.

Plus how superior is that Windows operating system?

There are six different unemployment measures for the record. You can pull them out as you like, but pretty much all relevant measures are included in the BLS statistics, and are back to near pre-pandemic levels... all except for labor force and the participation rate.

Has to be under. I wouldn't be shocked if he retired again.

This is another great unspoken statement. These same companies that now "can't find anyone who wants to work" are the same companies who is March and April of 2020 were letting employees go by the bucket load, despite all of the government money which was supposed to be designed to help them keep employees on the payroll. Lots of excellent, loyal, and long time employees were canned, with a whole of crappy ones. The good ones moved and and in lots of cases moved up. Even lots of the bad ones did the same. Statistically we know lots of things here. -About 4 million less people are employed today, than before all of this started. -Labor Force participation is still down an entire 2%, again those people aren't on unemployment, or they would be in the labor force. -Unemployment isn't much over where it was before all of this started. -There are eight million less jobs today than before all of this started. Now the same companies who let a ton of people go, can't find people to come back because they have largely moved on. The labor pool has shrunk by a ton and now there is no source of cheap labor left. We also destroyed cheap labor with immigration policies which largely shut down our borders. The idea that companies are paying a ton more also hasn't found its way to the labor statistics as last months wage number was an annualized increase of 1.98%. So wage inflation, again while a nice meme, isn't really happening to a large extent in this economy.

We got good news on Eloy and Luis.

Exactly. This isn't an people getting rich on unemployment problem. This is a labor force problem. For the record, if you aren't in the labor force as a part of that counting statistic, you aren't getting unemployment.

If you look at the article a grand total of 33,000 people are getting these benefits in Iowa. 33,000. That alone should tell you that this isn't the problem, and you should look at the labor force numbers to see the real problem.

GET BACK IN THERE AND SELL!

Ozzie graduates? I call BS.

I'd say this is part of the game to get banned, but this is a normal post for him.

Since Robert got hurt the Sox have buried the Twins and expanded their lead over everyone in the division. If that doesn't scream sell, I don't know what does.

Because Goodwin won't hurt you defensively, probably.
