This kid will win the club championship at 18 and 21. When he graduates college with no debt, he’ll get a Rolex Submariner and will have already played 24 of the T100 in America. 

His literal first job will be in Wealth Management. His Dad has a 600 person construction company that he built from nothing and fully understands his kid can’t take it over. Knowing this, he gets one of his buddies at the club that happens to manage his companies 401k’s to hire him. His friend can’t say no, because his Dad also referred four other friends with similarly sized businesses. 

The kid will call a handful of prospects per day, shadow the veterans on financial check-up meetings, and learn compliance. He’ll move from playing golf 5 days a week to 3 days. He’ll never send out mailers to randoms for a free dinner at Ruth’s Chris in exchange for 60 minutes of their time. 

At 30, he’ll start inheriting small books of business. Private clubs will be his eco-system for picking up larger clients. By 40, he’ll be set. 15-20 hours in the office a week. The rest of the time he’s hosting or being hosted at nice clubs. 

Braxxton Jackson. America.

@_MetsMetrics through 70% of his first season in Baltimore? the only relevant stat you posted was bat speed. sample size too small for the rest.

[gnice @grwings]

@_MetsMetrics @j_nucero @CookedByGrimace bc you’re basing it solely on stats. also adjust for vol/consistency.

[gnice @grwings]

@_MetsMetrics props to your stat work but read ojeda’s intangibles comment. also adjust for vol and run the metrics.

[gnice @grwings]

@_MetsMetrics bc they could only afford bad contracts elsewhere instead of anchoring the lineup w a proven bat. awful take. he’ll have 100+ RBIs in a weaker lineup. the Mets caring about a 5 year deal for their marquee player is just awful GM’ing. what flavor kool aid you drinking?

If you bet $1 on Brett Baty and Jorge Polanco to hit back to back home runs tonight then you are now a billionaire.

"I'm not going to rule out or in any specific player on anything. I don't think that's wise for me to do. What I will say is, we've got a group of young players and we've got some potential Hall of Famers, future Hall of Famers, that we view as our core. We expect them to be our core."

David Stearns was asked if he can rule out Francisco Lindor being traded at the deadline:

preach! ridiculous w a crowded outfield and soto sitting before an off day.

[Laura Albanese @AlbaneseLaura]

Brett Baty, who's been inconsistently deployed in the outfield, made a defensive miscue that signals an organizational failure within the Mets. Because positional fluency is a necessity and defensive versatility is a luxury - not the other way around. https://t.co/QeusSNZtLf

A man won £1.7 MILLION playing blackjack online at 1am. The casino called the next morning to congratulate him. Then called back two days later to say there was a software glitch and they were keeping the money. They offered him £60,000 to stay quiet and sign a document promising never to talk about it. He said no.

– Andrew Green was a 54 year old from a small village in Lincolnshire England.

– Just after midnight on January 26 2018 he opened the Betfred app and started playing a blackjack game called Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven.

– He played for five and a half hours straight.

– When he finally stopped the screen showed £1,722,500.24 in winnings.

– He called Betfred. They congratulated him. Told him to call back after 9:30am to arrange collection.

– He went out that night and celebrated with his family. Spent £2,500 on dinner. He was already a millionaire in his head.

– Monday morning he called back. They said the win was so large it needed to be sent to the game provider Playtech for verification. Standard procedure they said.

– Wednesday Betfred called again. Playtech had found a software glitch. The win was void and he would not be paid.

– Their offer was £60,000 but on one condition. He had to sign a non-disclosure agreement promising never to discuss what had happened.

– He said no.

– He sued and the case went to the High Court in London.

– The judge ruled Betfred's terms and conditions were not transparent and not fair. They could not rely on them to withhold payment.

– Three years after he won the money the court ordered Betfred to pay the full £1.7 MILLION plus interest.

– Standing outside the High Court he said "The last three years have felt like hell on earth. I think Betfred have treated me abysmally."

– Betfred apologised for the delay.

– They never explained how many other players hit the same glitch and quietly accepted the £60,000.

A man won £1.7 MILLION at 1am, spent £2,500 celebrating before the money arrived, then spent three years in court to collect what was already his.

@Metsmerized best coach we’ve had in last three years.

@jaredsmithbets thought you were talking about “best athletes”? not necessarily height. A 6’6” PG could dominate in soccer but they don’t bc basketball has more appeal.
