Brewers just put Chourio on the DL so that won't be happening.

Can someone explain the logic MLB used to have the westcoast game start at 3:00 pm locally while the teams playing in the central time zone don't start until 8:00 at night? It's like they are trying to get less people to watch the games.

Jansen is the anti-Vaughn. In 13 games with the brewers he has 7 hits and 2 RBIs.

Counsel was on the bullpen phone before the ball even hit the ground https://x.com/hunterbonair/status/1950374528414372245

By "every single time" do you mean the one time he has been called up?

I'm in my early 40's and grew up in SE Wisconsin. I used to spend a lot of time on my uncle's dairy farm as a teenager in the fall. We always listened to Ueck on the radio. We all loved baseball but the brewers weren't particularly good but we just kept listening because Bob would make us laugh so much, Then about 15 years ago I moved to the Twin Cities to start grad school and I was incredibly home sick. I was driving back to my apartment one day after a night class and I was scanning through the radio stations and all of a sudden I heard Bob's voice on the radio. I almost stopped the car I was so surprised. Unbeknownst to me the SE metro area could catch the River Falls station. My homesickness instantly went away just hearing Bob's voice. Bob was home. I was so sad yesterday realizing that I'd no longer have that constant in my life anymore. In this day and age we will likely never have anything close to someone like him putting as many years in the booth as he did. As sad as I still am today, I'm just even more grateful that we had him.

Pretty odd that this news broke a while ago and everyone but mlb.com has something about his death on their website.

This is, personnel wise, the same team that blew out Northwestern 42-7 last year. Plus this is a northwestern team that lost their head coach and some transfers right before the season started. This is not a good coaching staff. I'm not a "fire everyone guy" but I'm ready to clean house, including the AD.

The hours are the same roughly but the culture will be different. From your experience hiring, do you think I would get a negative reputation if I turned down the job? Is that even a thing in the hiring world?

As far as stability goes my current employer had more stability but I think both positions are relatively safe if that makes any sense.

My biggest issue has always been recognizing if something is truly better for me. There is a chance I could really like this new job and I know there will always be anxiety about career moves. My biggest issue is always thinking things I have to be perfect in every move I make in my career which I know is unrealistic but difficult to put into practice.

Part of my struggle over this is because it is easy to come up with good things with something that is known and bad things about the unknown but I also don't want to miss out on an opportunity. The new job is similar in nature to my current job but with more a more specific focus. I can potentially work on some of the same stuff in my current position but it won't be as narrowly focused. It is also working in a different field which would in theory make me more marketable. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely frustrations to my current job. Plus there is always the pressure that I put on myself to make more. Money isn't really an issue where with us but extra cushion would always be nice especially if kids are ever in our future. There is also a possibility for a raise and my current job because of this offer but it isn't guaranteed. What I also don't want to do either is to stick with something just because it is comfortable or to become complacent. My current job definitely has it's frustrations as I am sure all jobs do. When I told my supervisors at my current work about this offer they weren't surprised because they always knew I would move on at some point with my background and training. My dream has always been to go into business of my own and I don't think either position gets me there any sooner. While the extra money could be used to put toward that goal, I worry that any added stress could keep me from focusing on my dream.

They would still be the same. I would still be making more money at this new job, i think roughly 1/4 of the raise would be eaten up by those added expenses.

Ok Job advice needed: Got an offer the other day for a lateral move at a similar employer but for more money. I'm struggling over the decision and have gone back and forth on this. I stress about this stuff way too hard so i figured I would open it up and see what everyone else thought. I have been at my job for about 4 years. I really like the location where I work and the people I work with making coming to work fun. My supervisors are good too. I applied for this job because it seemed interesting and the pay was better, essentially I applied to learn more about it. I didn't really know what to think after the 1st interview. They asked for a second, but I thought it went poorly and I had kinda cooled on the job so I let it slip from my mind because I was very sure it wasn't going to get offered to me. Well lo and behold they offered. Now I learned some things after the offer that I have concerns about. My current employer pays for me to maintain a certain license and lets me use work time to those take classes because they believe it benefits them in my work. Even though my job would be similar, this new place will not pay for them and I likely can't use work time for most of the classes so I would have to burn several days of vacation time a year to do this. These are expensive and it's a big issue for me. Additionally, a portion of my raise will be eaten by parking costs because it is in downtown area. Now this new place has its benefits. It probably has more room for advancement and the job content is slightly more interesting that what i do now. However, I really don't see myself at either place long term so I don't know if I should completely switch everything up for more money. I also don't want to burn any bridges should I turn this down. Thoughts?
