It probably wouldn't help as it sounds like the "All Knowing" Cohen has made up his mind but there should be a petition to flood his email.
He's using the hurry up and let it go away approach.
The girls just need to go straight to Lemonis. Lemonis should have more power at this point than Cohen if he chose to flex. If lemonis is not against the girls (and there is a solid chance he is), then that route should suffice. I wonder why we had cheerleaders***
I may be mistaken but isn?t there only like 4/5 girls on the field at a time retrieving bats and such? Isn?t on field stuff a minor part of what the DGs do? And and am I correct in that only on field duties is all that is being eliminated this year? Genuinely curious
There are usually 4-5 on the field at a given time. They rotate 3-inning stints on the field and greeting fans and such. The field work is the main part of the job, though. The on-field duties are not the only thing eliminated this year. All travel has been eliminated since the pandemic started. Girls who were told they could travel if they sold enough ads for the calendar have not been allowed to do that. They have been fundraising but have not been allowed to access that money. All girls who went to Omaha did it on their own dime. In the past, they were included in the trip and the money they had fundraiser paid their way.
I like the idea about going straight to Lemonis. One of the girls has a dad who played at State and was an MLB player. He might be the one to ask to get involved.
The thing that really drives me crazy is how long are we going to let a mild virus hold us hostage? This pandemic is not the same now as it was earlier. Omicron is a cold. That is it. We also have tools now that we did not have in the early days of Covid. At what point do we get on with living normal lives and refuse to take their ridiculous tests? Treat it like any other virus. If you have a fever, stay home. If you get sick, treat the symptoms. We have created a bizarro world in which hospitals are now having to divert people with real problems (heart attacks, car crashes, etc.) because Covid folks are clogging up the ERs. We are testing symptom-free athletes. That is nuts.
Stepping off my soapbox now.
It kind of sounds like to me they might be trying to save the girls feelings by not saying, "unfortunately your services are not needed any longer." Like many have said, baseball is a very superstitious sport and you don't mess with the juju. If Lemonis thinks they are a distraction to the team, he's gonna put a stop to it. Not saying that's the case, but it could be a deciding factor.
And how many daughters does Lemonis have? Just what I thought. This is simply more liberal leadership from Cohen.
I seriously doubt he'd be in favor of this Cohen stipulation then.
Good God who the 17 cares. Are you people permanently 14.
