    It sounds like arthritis. I know we have no right to the information, but I don't really know why he doesn't tell us rahter than having people guess what it is. I get accommodation letters for a lot of students including things like student can decide not to attend class and get extensions for assignments any time they want. It's generally easier to deal with when I know what the problem is. I have one student who has a horrible disease which is causing her to become progressively deaf and blind. So, I go out of my way to do everything I can to help her. Another student has some mysterious unknown problem and just go on faith that there is a legit reason why she misses half her classes and submits all her assignments late. There may be good reason why she doesn't reveal it and it's her right, but it's always easier when I know the situation.

    Most of his schtick is tough guy talk with whining mixed in when he gets called out. It's so pathetic.

    "Arm fatigue" Ugh, it often starts that way.

    Big time projection. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-called-ron-desantis-fat-and-whiny-2022-9

    I am now mostly out of the market and am invested more in short-term treasuries and CD's. I'll check back in a few months. I'll be 60 in two weeks - getting a little old for the buy and hold forever strategy.

    They also need to figure out whether the pitching injuries are bad luck or whether they are doing something wrong.

    The rapists, muderers and free loaders are doing pretty well for themselves. Maybe, that is what people really fear. https://www.marketwatch.com/articles/u-s-latinos-gdp-is-the-worlds-fifth-largest-51663871190?mod=mw_latestnews

    Did Scott Harris reference OPS+?

    I am fine. I am just insanely busy at work and not posting as much, even not a lot baseball posts. Like many people, my investments are not fine, but I tell myself that I am right back where I was in Spring, 2021 and I wasn't unhappy about my investments then. I did pull some money out of the market and bought some short term treasuries. I might do some more of that very soon before it completely goes to shit. Of course, if I do that, the market is going to surge!

    Right, If they don't hit the ball, moving in the fences is just going to help other teams more.

    There really isn't anything to tear down! The only players worth anything are young players who would be part of a re-build.
  12. Tiger337
    Other possibilities are improvement by young players and better health.

    Two other possibilities is beginning of divisional play in 1969 and the beginning of wildcards in 1995 (followed quickly by interleague play in 1997). The process of turning baseball into a generic sport rather one unique from other sports has been a significant change for me.

    The Cardinals seemed to have picked his spots this year which is smart. It's not a strict platoon, but he is crushing LHP: .363/.405/.775. Last year with the Dodgers was similar.

    I have seen that definition of modern baseball most frequently, but is it still widely recognized as such? The Hall of Fame considers anything from 1980 forward to be contemporary and anything prior to be classic. I am also seeing more and more people refer to 1947 as the beginning of the modern era.

    Then he spent the next several months taking unnecessary shots at Granderson. I never understood that.

    Babe Ruth 284% ahead of the runnerup in 1920. I couldn't find anyone higher than Judge recently. Jimmy Foxx 41% in 1932 and 1933 was the highest I found going through it quickly.

    Charboneau was a legend! He was 25 when he did it though. I would bet that there are more 25 year old one year wonders than 22 year old.

    No kind of mental health problem deserves scorn. Mental health problems are real and many people have no more control over their mental health than they do over their physical health.

    I am currently listening to the 1977 Tigers broadcasted by Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey. It is so soothing and brings back so many memories.

    Speaking of Kreidler and the chemistry lab, Cowan's post reminded me of almost failing physics lab. I had never failed a class in my life and surely did not want to repeat it. The teaching assistant looked like George Brett and I knew I was in trouble when some student told him that and the guy didn't know who George Brett was. Then, every week we'd come to lab and we'd ask the TA what we were supposed to do and he would say "I have no idea". I was not good at any kind of lab, so I watched what other people were doing on the lab and half assed my way through lab reports. I thought for sure I would fail, but I passed. George must have graded the lab reports.

    It's going so well I totally forget about the September call-ups until I saw their line-up today. That has never happened as far back as I can remember. Being insanely busy at work this week didn't help, but that wouldn't have stopped me in the past.

    He's got a good face though, an infielder's face. He's got a Travis Fryman vibe.
  24. Tiger337
    And it's gone!
  25. Tiger337
    Great! I got 2.75% and they called it a merit raise! Most people got less.
