Dear Kristin,
Word on the street is that you have completed your pile of grading. Apparently, even though you spent the best part of the last week doing nothing but grading, it seems you don't get a big kick out of it, so I guess I'll return this present of eighty bazillion more grady things to do.
The World called; it's looking forward to seeing you again.
t hearts Pete forever
Thanks, hon. I'm so friggin' glad that I'm done, I can't even tell you. As for this "World" you speak of, I'm not entirely sure that it exists. I think it may be a conspiracy of cartographers.
I have to call into a meeting now and I DON'T WANNA!!!!
Your schedule is cracked, Hec.
That said, I always curse the teams when they schedule things on mother's day, and not so much even for myself, but because it screws things up with our Mothers, too. It (and Father's Day) might not matter to some people, but they do matter to a lot of people.
It's gonna be hard for that guy to even walk with a footpedal up his butt, Hec.
The gauchos, though.... shakes head sadly
Imma bring 'em. You'll love them! I swear!
Well, no, because I live in my 3" heel boots
That makes me feel a bit better. Hec's going to hate leading me around. I'm a meanderer.
Your schedule is cracked, Hec.
It's especially difficult because we've got extensive pitch count requirements that prevent us from overusing the young arms. And then they schedule me for 7 games in 16 days. Figure a very conservative 20 pitches per game @ 6 innings a game is 120 pitches. Times 7 games is 840 pitches. Divided by 6 pitchers (if I stretch) and they're all throwing 140 pitches over that stretch.
With a more likely 30 pitches an inning, you quickly get to 1260 pitches over that fortnight divided by 6 pitchers making it 210 pitches for each of them. That'd be a heavy load for Emmett over two weeks, much less the passel of Double A and two Single A pitchers that would have to do it.
I don't even think that's possible within the guidelines. A pitcher needs three full calendar days of rest if they go over 61 pitches. During that 7 game stretch I've only got one place where there are three calendar days of rest.
Hec's going to hate leading me around. I'm a meanderer.

Foolios didn't even call in. I'm glad to not have the meeting but now it's not over with so I have to do it on Thursday.
