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.

There is an injury exception.

You don't have to win the world series for this to be a successful season. You know what could do long term damage? Blowing up a team that is 4 games in 1st place in a weak assed division.

This needs to be a gif to be able to use for Parkman Posts.

Totally agree.

No it doesn't. Getting to the playoffs again is a huge deal to this franchise.

They would rightfully get buried by their fans and media alike. The time for rebuilding is over.

Steve Stone? Keep his mouth shut? lol, good luck with that one.

Forget it, he's rolling.

He's shut down for six weeks at least. Even if that was it, he would have to condition and rehab after that.

Well he is out 2 months at the very least. He is supposed to be indisposed at least 6 weeks, to start with. I think August is probably off of the menu for sure. Would be shocked to see him again this year.

The worst news of all...

It really feels like we are seeing the results when these guys didn't have access to top level conditioning for a long period of time. We can look at the Sox, but the number of these injuries around baseball right now is insane. It almost has to be COVID related somehow, most likely due to not having major league training going on during the lockdowns and winter.

The funny part is it is a guy who was suspended. Might need to revisit that status.

2020 never really ended, did it?

It is a pretty unprecedented time period, so I can't even begin to guess where this will go. I know historically we have filled labor shortages with immigration, but it is going to take some work to undue all of the policies which cut back so much on immigration, and get the process flowing again.
