@DTonPirates @dmalatnick Above average right fielders cost less than great hitting catchers. Maybe I’m too cynical, but I think they’re depressing his value on purpose.

@dmalatnick Because he may have above average value as a RF, but he has massively above average value as a catcher if he is just competent at the position defensively.

Henry Davis is a stud. I think the #Pirates are making a BIG mistake not playing him at catcher 3 days a week right now.

Starbucks, be kind to your workers and stop union-busting! I stand with Starbucks baristas organizing unions for a REAL seat at the table. #Starbucks #Kindness

In solidarity with our members striking at YouTube Music in the 1st ever strike at Google, @SenSanders & @GregCasar sent a letter to @sundarpichai of @Google, @nealmohan of @YouTube & @imravikumars of @Cognizant with a simple demand:
Stop the union busting.

I haven't thought about Ben once since he's retired. I'm sure the Canadians and Europeans and guys who aren't from Pittsburgh couldn't possibly care, either.

@NelsonLichtens1 The union just has to agree to potential wage increases. Starbucks can’t unilaterally change them. If the union improves wages for non unionized stores, I’d hope that would increase support. It will be tough to get a contract though.

6/For the union to win at Starbucks, more will be needed that even a string of NLRB election victories, inspiring as they may be. These wins need to be backstopped by massive public support, a set of short but disruptive work stoppages, and state action in support of the union.

I just viewed a 20 minute segment of the Howard Schultz/Starbucks management pep talk cum anti-union directive. It takes place as Schultz once again takes over direct control of the company and the fight against unionization. Here are some takeaway points:

Considering the LA was only 20°, the ball doesn't have much of a chance at leaving the yard anyway. I've only seen Yankees fans complain about the "dead ball" lol meanwhile Vlad Jr. hit a ball just last week 460+ ft.

Is it fat shaming to say the guy who's 270 pounds shouldn't be the lead off?
Also, your hottest hitter of the past month isn't in the lineup? Well, alright.

@LaurenKGurley @AlecMacGillis As a former HR manager who has worked with labor law attorneys, and as a former union member, I believe all employees, unionized or not, should know their employment rights well. Never take management's nor a union's words at face value without independent confirmation.

Scoop: At a mandatory anti-union meeting today in NYC, an Amazon union buster told warehouse workers they could see their wages reduced to the minimum wage if they unionize.
We published the audio which is truly chilling.

I have a question…as a non-drinker, non-gambler (no judgments, have fun the way you like), I don’t really ‘get’ places like Las Vegas.
If you like to go, what is your favorite thing about it, please? This is for a story.
