Janes Says - Our Reporting on Our Reporters

[GburgNatsFan]

Exactly.

I tell the missus, "Can't take the laptop to the can."

[Mathguy]

We get 2 papers delivered here (Post & Va Pilot).  But there aren't too many other houses getting a paper delivered

Well, as they say, we're of an age. One other paper gets delivered on my street, and the guy's in his mid-80s.

[_sturt_]

That's why there's Kindles. 

[WahooWah]

But you can take the ipad!

It's not about the technology.    It's about flippin' the paper.    It's a recall of more primitive times.

and, if the roll is out, some things work better as plan B.

Plan B is leaves.

Tropical plants do quite well in the humid bathroom environment.

Watch out for clusters of three with a red tint.

My guess is that it has more to do with pressure to spit out a lot of stories combined with cutbacks in editorial staff

Nah, mitlen's on target. If you look at the bottom of any story from any major news source these days you'll see a bunch of click bait third party stories powered by Taboola or similar companies. The goal is to get clickbait headlines so people open the page, skim the story, then click on one of the funny, sexy, or scandalous links at the bottom to some slide show ad view special.

I have a friend who works as an environmental law analyst for a firm that Bloomberg picked up. He was recently removed from the writing team because his stuff was too dry and was written for people behind the paywall. Didn't drive revenue enough.

Disappointing that this is what it has come to for a major American daily.

Sadly, it's ALL American dailies. And also web sites for all major news channels. Welcome to the new world where clicks are more important than content. When the metric of success was # of subscribers, they had to have substance. Now it's the face book like and share era. It's not about people giving you money - it's about being popular and getting the ad companies to give you money.

Janes says no to clickbait, she's gonna kick tomorrow.

 Rizzo is out early watching Lobaton throw to bases, which is a little odd.

[mitlen]

Considering Wieters is starting.

Didn't he have shoulder issues last year?

[spidernat]

Throwing from where? Was he in the outfield preparing for an emergency with Harper out for the next 3 games? Why not provide more precise information.

He was covfefe. Does that help.

[skippy1999]

This is why twitter blows, if you cant report a story don't freaking teeet about it

[Natsinpwc]

I will assume that if he was throwing from the outfield she would have mentioned that.

Looked up and he had a wrist forearm issue in March that also bothered him lsat year.

I wonder if this is just a way to find an "injury" that would require a quick stint on the DL so they can bring up someone with a bit more versatility (ability to play OF) just in case.
