EG agrees
2:17: Welcome to the world of being a ground ball pitcher, Brandon McCarthy. It took McCarthy 27 pitches to work through the first. He allowed a leadoff walk to Erick Aybar on four pitches, then gave up three consecutive ground ball singles before getting his first out on his 17th pitch of the inning. Will say this: 16 of his final 22 pitches were strikes.

EG on Scheppers
The Rangers have said they are leaving the door open for Scheppers to potentially help the club in the second half of the season. He is currently preparing as a starter, but would likely be used as a reliever this season if he comes to the majors. The Rangers would like to restrict his innings this season since they don’t feel he’s done much the last two seasons. The likely threshold for innings pitched is 100-120.

3:02: So, Colby Lewis gave up a solo homer to Mike Napoli in his first inning of work. Of his next 18 pitches, 15 were strikes, including a pair of slow curves for called strikeouts.

Firebat

is right. It does matter what field you are in. For accounting it is great if you want to be a professor but it really doesnt do anything in the working world. For finance it is actually a pretty nice bump if you have experience but time and money is probably better served concentrating on getting your CFA which, to me, is the equivalent of a PhD.

I don't think

a variety of interests is prohibitive for having a fellowship. If you’re the type of person who can say “I have interests, but I also have a core profession”, there’s no reason why you can’t get a fellowship and still apply yourself to whatever you want to do.

I know this may be a little off

but in determining the pursuit of future degrees I rarely factor in money. It is all about opportunity cost. What else would you be doing for those five years if you didnt go? Would NOT having a PhD stop you from doing what you really want to do? Lastly, what is the regret factor? Would you regret not going?

which would make the total journey 4 years. Doing a little work on the LSAT now but i am going to ramp it up after this trimester is done in grad school. I figure with an MS, MBA, CPA, and JD (along with an LLM as you say) ill be okay as far as job prospects plus i really do enjoy tax work. IIt is basically a very complex puzzle to me. Of course, ill be swimming in a lot of student loan debt too ha

His CPA and MBA is an added credential booster, no doubt

But to what end it would make up for the lack of a Tax LLM, I don’t know. Conventional wisdom is, to my understanding, that you need an LLM if you want to break into the serious levels of tax practice.

If you rank well at your law school and have a CPA

You can get a big-firm job doing tax law without a problem, but maybe further down the line an LLM could be helpful—I’m not sure about that.

as i have wondered before whether there would be a value add with the LLM or simply some rather impressive redundancy.

Yeah, that's something I would probably investigate by looking at the bios of the tax practice groups with some of the big firms

Surprise Stadium logistics questions

So, the Rangers and Royals share the same ballpark. A couple of questions come to mind….

1) Do the Rangers and Royals occupy the same dugout regardless of who is the road team and who is the home team?

2) When an outside visiting team comes in for a game (like the Angels), do they even bother to bring their stuff into the clubhouse – or does it stay in a bus? It would seem to be a beating to move the Rangers/Royals clubhouse stuff before every game.

If nobody answers, I’ll email Evan Grant.

OT question

shouldn’t the catcher be able to see the ball better than other players on the team? Looks to me like they get the most experience “seeing” pitches as they approach the plate. Any thoughts?

I was wondering the same thing earlier today.

I think the issue may be that they are used to seeing the ball from a different angle and thinking about it in a very different context, i.e. framing and treating every ball as if it were a strike. I can imagine that it would be easy to overthink.

Holland

this is kind of a shitty inning to give him.

by ab03 on Mar 8, 2010 4:27 PM CST reply actions  

Agreed

it’s the type of innings you give to your 8th best prospect, not a legitimate 5th rotation spot candidate.

because he realized he was pitching against a character from a Mark Twain novel.

Kneejerk = "Holland does not need to be our #5 this year"

Not a kneejerk = general assessment of how he pitched today

by BuckyB on Mar 8, 2010 4:59 PM CST up reply actions  

Knee-jerk

is you being encouraged or discouraged about a single player based on his first game. God you’re lame.

It's also his first spring training game

and 90 was his lowest, with 93-4 being the highest. It’s not anything to worry about.
