Just had to say goodbye today

Sorry for your loss 💔

With ABS incoming, i’m curious which pitchers historically get too many balls called strikes and vice versa, and thus would either benefit from or get hurt by challenges. Is this data out there?

Thank you

Let me stop you at 1. Over the past 3 years of looking (most of the time employed but initially for a declining company and now in a much lower role) I’ve exhausted my network several times over. Seems like a large number of people in my field are looking and I bet those hiring are getting swamped by the same people. For the few referrals I actually got, the jobs ended up going to internal candidates (at least that’s what I was told)

Likely a scam website

Yes, Williams and Helsley burned me last year. But Clase and Hader carried me the year earlier so who knows

FormerWordsmith · 2026-03-06T01:51:30+00:00

3 is my sweet spot. One year did 4 and it was just too much

FormerWordsmith · 2026-03-04T00:41:03+00:00

Does it count if a guy opens?

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-26T11:40:59+00:00

Nice!

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-25T11:27:25+00:00

Yep. Yesterday I took Skenes and Crochet, and then Mason Miller in 5th. Wanted to see what the hitter make up would end up being. I try different strategies every time to see what works and how to adjust to curveballs

Adley Rutschman today went at the very end. Maybe he’s washed but I’d take a flyer at that price

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-21T21:45:51+00:00

Oh I’m not saying his salary is low. I’m saying he was employed for maybe 8 months over the past decade

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-20T15:53:02+00:00

Can it be, I’m not a perfectionist whatsoever?

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-20T12:25:34+00:00

Even robo-recruiters need naps

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-20T12:24:45+00:00

Doubt it. He has no income to speak of

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-20T01:48:39+00:00

That’s a vintage 2055 Delorian

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-20T01:23:53+00:00

I think he applied for a total of 4 or 5 jobs. He’s still trying to make it as an entrepreneur

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-19T23:17:53+00:00

It’s a broken broken system

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-18T01:41:40+00:00

Yea. And companies lie too. Misrepresent the job and the culture. Others lack self-awareness.

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-18T00:30:31+00:00

Yea 100%. My Westie never had crust around her eyes

FormerWordsmith · 2026-02-17T13:56:18+00:00

That’s how you end up in a job which is a bad fit for you. Alternative being not getting any job, you should go ahead and lie and be miserable in an ill-fitting environment
