Why not take the day off and go to the game?


We have a huge sub shortage, and since I missed 9 days of school with COVID I cant. It is what it is.


While I understand what you mean…your vacation days are yours to use. Don't put them to waste because the district isn't doing their job to find subs. COVID dang sure isn't your fault and anything to consider.

When I taught I was the same way, I perpetually pushed them off and stockpiled my days…then a made a career change and lost nearly 40 days.
My wife's last day of teaching/coaching is on Thursday. Got a great opportunity elsewhere. She's leaving some ridiculous number of days on the table when she leaves. As a coach, she basically wasn't allowed to take days off during the season and was also always fed the same "we have no subs" line any other time she asked off. So glad she is out of the field.

Should be a fun wild card tonight. Yankees have better talent, but game is at Fenway so could see either team winning. Red Sox do hold the season series as well.

I like the Red Sox tonight. Cole is not good at Fenway

I'm praying that Cole gets lit up and the Yanks get bounced.

Please God...Make. This. Happen.

https://theathletic.com/2859486/2021/10/05/ranking-the-10-most-dangerous-hitters-in-the-mlb-playoffs-with-insights-from-pitchers-inside-baseball/?source=twitterhq

Quote:
9. Kyle Tucker, Astros
2021 stats: .294/.359/.557, 30 HR, 92 RBI, 14 SB, .916 OPS, 147 wRC+, 4.8 fWAR

In a few years, Tucker may be several spots higher on this list. He arguably already should be. In his first full MLB season, Tucker has put the baseball world on notice, improving from a plus hitter in 2018-19 to one of the best in the AL in 2021. There's red all over his Statcast page. He has pop and strong bat-to-ball skills. Now, at 24, Tucker needs to prove it in the playoffs after posting a .656 OPS the past two postseasons. He's prone to chasing more than the Astros would like, and that tendency will be tested by playoff pitching.
Quote:
7. Carlos Correa, Astros
2021 stats: .279/.366/.485, 26 HR, 92 RBI, .851 OPS, 134 wRC+, 5.8 fWAR
Pitcher's take: "He's been in the spotlight a lot, and he seems to embrace it."
Correa, the Astros shortstop, is poised to make a fortune in free agency this offseason, but first he's focused on another deep playoff run with a lineup that produced the most runs in the majors this season. Correa already has had a large share of postseason success, with an .869 OPS in 63 career playoff games. Correa doesn't have elite speed, but opposing pitchers note that he prepares well for every matchup, makes consistent contact and hits the ball hard to all fields. "He can beat you in a lot of different ways," one pitcher said.
Quote:
Honorable mentions: Tyler O'Neill, Austin Riley, Mookie Betts, Justin Turner, Will Smith, Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve, Luis Robert, Yasmani Grandal, Kris Bryant, Darin Ruf, Brandon Lowe, Mike Zunino and Willy Adames.
LOL at Aaron Judge being number 1 on this list


That Correa quote sounds like his agent wrote it. And they're not wrong.

He needs to be only used through a maximum of one time through the line-up. And coming in out of the BP after a high MPH fastball pitcher.

and why the hell are they even considering Siri in the postseason? You have 2 OF that are better in Meyers and Chas.
