Hes fine and doesn't have symptoms though. That would be opposite of Moncada.

Agreed. Him filling in every once in a while at 3B to give Moncada some rest at DH would be awesome.

I'm so excited about this team and I go through periods where I honestly forget they hired LaRussa. I don't know how I keep doing it but it's almost like I can't fully comprehend this ridiculous hire. Even past the DUI stuff: age (why would he want to put himself through this at almost 80? The JR special of hiring guys who don't even want the job lol), hasn't managed in almost a decade, already in the HoF, etc. The good news is the team should be good enough to where it's hard for him fuck it up.

2 years/ $20 mill. Would have loved that deal too.

But don't you know he's in the Hall of Fame, brother?

I think he said about a year ago that he wants 99.

That sounds fantastic. Thanks for that. It is a job located in the city (not that they are in the office now) and they said even when they go back, they would likely be flexible as long as your work is done on time so having the flexibility in your day to get other smal things done in your life is a nice option to have. It would be nice to enjoy my hobbies again and feel less stressed out all the time, even on my days off. I think this decision will pay off for me. You can't put a dollar figure on your mental health.

The best advice. Thanks. I just know if i didn't take the job and I kept working the way I am, I would regret not taking this job. It also helps that I know someone there who also worked at my current job. He says it's comparing night and day and his life is so improved. I just also hate that I am giving up a bonus as well, that is usually paid in December but was pushed back to Q2 of this year because of the pandemic. It wouldn't have been as much as a regular year but still. Never working past 5, including the busy part of the year, sounds amazing though... Edit: I do try to put a positive spin on it by saying my salary fornuately was not effected in the past year, other than not receiving year end bonus.

I need some advice. Has anyone here ever left a bad work environment (long hours, 50-60 hours ever week, signing off anywhere between 8pm-2am every day) in favor of a better work environment (my friend at this company says he is busy, but never has to work past 5, ever), but slightly less pay? I would make about $2k less than I make now but my work life/balance would be incredible. I have an offer letter from the company and weighing the pros and cons of staying and leaving. Thanks in advance. Edit: for reference so others could relate, I am an accountant.

Yeah I was going to say that comment does not line up at all.

Eh you'd probably have both. I do agree it seems so early. If you're going to spend that kind of money anyway, it could have waited a couple more years.

Aaron Sanchez signed with the Giants last night. I guess he was hitting 98 recently at a workout. Also noticed Oliver Drake just re-signed with the Rays. I swear, the relief pitcher market is never ending. Seems like 2-3 good/decent MRP are signing every day.

Rodon got injured while reading this comment.

I've wondered the same. He's positionless and never getting a shot here yet other guys who can pitch or play a position and used as depth are cut?

Looks like it will be a high of 30s and 40s next week so hopefully some of this snow finally mets.

Pre-Vaughn 1. Anderson SS 2. Moncada 3B 3. Abreu 1B 4. Eloy LF/DH (DH against lefties, Engel in OF) 5. Grandal C 6. Robert CF 7. Collins/Leury/Engel - depending on matchup. and use this spot as rotating DH with the regulars. 8. Eaton RF 9. Madrigal 2B W/ Vaughn 1. Anderson SS 2. Moncada 3B 3. Abreu 1B/DH 4. Eloy LF 5. Grandal C 6. Robert CF 7. Vaughn DH/1B 8. Eaton RF 9. Madrigal 2B

I'll agree with this.

The bullpen market seems never ending.

Lets see Robert get on base consistent enough before hitting him leadoff.

Yeah during this time of working from home, the more baseball on my tv the better.

Heading to Florida on Sunday for a week. Can't wait to get away from work and this weather and relax.

Perfect. Easier to let him get more rest in the minors and save some innings for the back half of the year if he is on an innings limit.

It's ok. The likelihood of Rodon actually being healthy enough to pitch is low.

I will say that in that 2019, I would have preferred Yermin getting those at bats over Alonso, Reed, Skole, etc. But I would have preferred Collins getting those at bats over Yermin.
