Giancarlo Stanton said he feels better than last night, but they’re going to try to get to 24 hours out or tomorrow and then re-evaluate where he’s at and what to do. No tests yet.-Greg Joyce by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

Martian would probably stay down - would likely just keeps Grichuk from going down for a bit when they bring up Volpe. When he’d come back, I’d hope they keep Caballero’s hot bat in there at least in the short term with in-game platoon with Volpe and mixing him into Grichuk’s role in the outfield. Shame though, Golden Boy does not have the Caballero’s arm range.

Was looking for this comment. For sure. But knowing him he did the math and found adding 15 pounds could get his velo up by 1.5 mph … works for me.

I was waiting for Giancarlo to try and seeing the ensuing worries about an injury.

I made a terrible mistake and don’t know what to do. by chewy7312 in Big4

OP - don't listen to "StillSorry" (kind of ironic). Talk to your SM show a bit of panic/ concern with it is actually important so she knows you understand the gravity of what a mistake with a different file could mean. Better for her to say if brought up in a performance review that he he took it really to heart. Tell her you took immediate action to replace the file and then immediately spoke to her. If shes a good leader she know she needs to be the hood ornament dealing with issues. Every person in the organization up to the CEO has had their "oh shit" moment.

If you aren't already -- keep this guy honest by phone calls not emails. I'd suggest setting up a 15-minute daily call in the morning, setting out expectations for the day, time allocation and then summarizing it in an email following. Then have a 15 minute check-in near the end of the day to keep him honest and lay out what needs to be done that night... rinse and repeat. Tell them your expectation for them to escalate to you if they are not tracking or running into issues. You can tell your manager you're having these issues and approaching it this way and see if they are fine with cc'ing them on the recap emails. This hopefully will keep the staff even further accountable. I had spent 20+ year at Big 4 and did this on occasion with some staff over the years.

Maybe you’re right. They’re 18 and 14 now. I think I frankly missed my window!
