The baseball primer is one of the well-known organizing platforms for baseball event management. The Scherzer from uk-dissertation.com earned a lot from this field and this also give hype to his career. It is the best field for baseball players and provides opportunities for playing on different platforms.

So is there a softball game this year?

Can Jim do nothing about these spam bots?

#3 Why do you think he hasn't been around much? He's been spending his time tracking the ^%&*()^ behind these and dealing with them. It's Whack-a-mole but still good work.

So, does anyone write their own term papers anymore, or is all bought & paid for via the vast resources of the Internet? Or do professors no longer even bother with such assignments due to the burden of policing such plagiarism?

A friend of mine is a philosophy professor, and she uses special software to catch plagiarists. (In ancient times when I was in college, pre-internet, I made good money writing papers for people.)

Good for Max. Hartford after dark is deader than a thousand cemeteries, particularly on a weeknight.

Scherzer‘s a cheapskate. Get back to me when he buys the team a new bus for their road trips.

This kind of touches on something that has confused me for years - why don't teams just pay for reasonably nutritious meals for their minor leaguers? I would estimate that it would be possible to pay for two decently healthy meals per gameday for your entire minor league roster at every level, for less than the MLB minimum salary. And it seems like it would be at least somewhat beneficial to their health and development as players, no?

It’s (too) slowly changing, but it seems to be basically a vestige of the hazing mentality that dominated teams’ approach to the minors. “Keep ‘em hungry…literally! That’ll make them strive more. And save us .00003% of the org budget. Everybody wins!”

Maybe he could change his name to Max Generosity.

I want to see all these different platforms players are playing on.

Also, hating pants has given hype to my career on this well known organizing platform

Edit: accidental double post adds to the hype

As one of the better Hartford restaurants is named "Max Downtown", I have a guess on where Scherzer ordered from.

I'm not interested in trying to organize a softball game this year, but if anyone just wants to meet up for drinks like a few of us did last year, I'd be in.

yeah, I could do that.

outdoor dining/daydrinking on a summer Saturday in Manhattan is a pretty smooth way to pass some time -as Inge and I proved last year, along with Chicago Joe and Hysterical & Useless....

I'm not trying to be a xick because he doesn't have to pay for a meal for these guys, but him dropping $7k on a meal is equivalent to me buying a coworkers lunch for $10.

It's a nice thing to do, but I don't know that I'd get news article about it.

As a percentage of annual pay, it's the equivalent of someone making $15.50 per hour giving $5 to a busker. Fine, but nothing special and disregards career earnings. But... it's a meal. There's kind of a limit to what can be done. There's quality and quantity, and Scherzer covered those well. So he also did the headphones, which nearly everyone could probably use. No, they're not something to put on the mantle and the batteries in them will die someday, likely soon, but it's not as if he knows all these guys and could give each something personal. So I think Scherzer did well, all things considered.

Yep. It's a fluff piece, happy filler. No reason to give this story any more due than that.

At a minimum, whoever wrote the headline should be given a stern lecture, followed by a beating.

In addition to what you said, my understanding is that it's pretty common for star players on rehab assignment to buy the whole team a nice dinner. I remember hearing years and years ago that Mark Mulder got Omaha steaks for everybody when he made a rehab stop in A-ball, and Mulder never made Max Scherzer money.

"Super rich person buys single meal and headphones for coworkers making significantly less" is really not a headline.

He doesn't have to do it, of course. Scherzer is within his rights to just Scrooge McDuck his money in a vault if he wants, but a guy who has made $264 million in his life (in MLB salary alone) spending a small fraction of it on his teammates is hardly some deeply benevolent move on his part.

But I constantly see people mocking companies that like, throw some one-time token of appreciation towards low-paid workers, and I'm honestly failing to see the difference between those situations and this.
