The TLR Manager Thread
That means a player should hide being gassed. How does that help the team? I can maybe understand someone clinging to a roster spot, but your ace should have the respect of the coaches to be honest. Instead we have a player hiding being gassed. That's a horrible team culture and that lands directly on the manager if players are lying and not being forthright and honest.

The TLR Manager Thread
I've never been in a MLB dugout during the game and never heard a in game conversation between an ace and hall of fame manager so maybe I'm missing something. But it seems like someone, pitching coach or manager walks over to the pitcher after 90 +pitches and asks what ya got left? And your trying to keep a roster spot guy might lie and say give me the ball but Gio should be able to say I'm gassed. Sending him out wasn't a bad decision, I'm more concerned that there was a startling horrible lack of communication between Gio and the coaching staff.

Does the pitcher have any responsibility to inform the manager he's gassed? I'm trying to wrap my head around that conversation not happening.

I taught at Taft HS San Antonio (all of our schools are named for Supreme Court justices). We went on a bit of a lock down over a social media post threat of violence. I was the only teacher to say are we certain it's not Taft Chicago? Which it was. Nothing happened.

How long has it been since we questioned how our previous manager used pitchers? I think Bevington was the last one. The rest of the guys didn't make mistakes like this. I'm trying to remember Renteria or Robin leaving a guy in too long.

At my high school's game. About 100 fans. Cool weather. Watching a couple of my students. Trying not to dog the ump for a really tight strike zone. What a great way to spend a few hours after work.

They can study how the GOP carved up Texas in 2000. How it was legal baffled me.

2021 Catch-All
Generic advice about investing. If you have a date you need to liquidate on then you need something that isn’t volatile. If your investment (stocks, crypto currency, collective plates, gold) dips when you need to withdraw, you lose the ability to ride out the dip. if you had a longer horizon, say two years, something with wild swings may be more appropriate. On a direct advice point, I wouldn’t invest near term house buying money on crypto, or highly speculative stocks. Loses aren’t loses until you cash out.

Vintage White Sox Hats
There was an ad that popped up here that had one. I can’t find it now. They also had vintage Chief Illini gear as well. I did find this https://www.olympiasports.net/new-era-mens-chicago-white-sox-1917-cooperstown-wool-59fifty-fitted-hat-white-7-1%2F2/642223459478.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc

Agreed. Good play.

The Andrew Vaughn LF Thread
His defensive “gem” is actually a routine fly ball to the warning track for most MLB outfielders, which he isn’t. This just highlighted he’s playing out of position which probably contributes to his lackluster plate appearances.

22 for 56, down a little but still a sizzling .393 average. Now with a defensive gem and a post game, dugout sprint highlight to throw in.

I could see it being the unifier between the leagues.

The problem I see is situations like tonight. Cleveland would be trying to overcome a 6 run deficit without the extra stick.

I see MiLB is trying a rule change where a team loses their DH when the starting pitcher is pulled. I think I really like the rule.

We'll never know for certain. In these cases I consider Ocamm's Razor. The simplest answer is they reported the truth. People do get strep. I would be surprised but not shocked if it was Covid.

Thanks. From a distance it seems like the franchise is solidly run.

It seems like the Hawks were just stockpiling talent for three or four years down the road. Or am I misreading their moves?

I was leaving school yesterday and realized my assistant coach would need some gift cards from me. I was halfway between my classroom and the outside door when I realized I forgot a mask. Weirdest, most uncomfortable feeling, like I forgot to put on pants. Of course someone saw me before I could put one on in my classroom.
