WOW - that's a big job and there's nothing I could find online that points to Maroth having any pitching coach experience .... not even Frontier League.

Maybe he has a teaching degree! lol

You have to start somewhere, right?

Tigers organization sure helps out their former "employees", unlike many of those that I have worked for over the past 35+ years. Not a single one offered any type of assistance after layoffs, with post-employment retraining, job searches, ect...and they weren't exactly small businesses, either. Most were national or global in size.

Seemed like every single one was continually obsessed with figuring out how to get rid of employees' jobs through automation, job consolidation and technological improvements, or outsourcing/off-shoring. About halfway through my working life, I realized that the working world was not and never again would be the same as what my father experienced, ("career" employment) and there no longer was any reason to give employers anything more than what I deemed was absolutely necessary, despite their expectations of brown-nosing loyalty and giving them what they considered to be a fair days' work for an ever less and less fair days pay.

That is why tax-cuts and the Reagan-era trickle-down, supply-side economic theory will never and has not worked. Most of the former blue-collar manufacturing, industrial, and maintenance/repair jobs have now long ago been eliminated or off-shored, and later the white collar technical, legal, and medical jobs that require skills and/or a higher education are still being and/or have been outsourced. The now global corporate capitalists want the ever-shrinking "golden-geese" that are middle-class consumers to continue to buy, subscribe and/or lease their products and services, but they sure as hell don't want to have to..gasp!! fucking employ us too. Let some "other" company do it, while they try to avoid paying any types of federal/state/local taxes and insurance.

We also are spending countless billions on stabilizing and "policing" the Middle East, killing, maiming, and wounding US soldiers, so that nations like India and China have an uninterrupted supply of energy and crude oil and its derivatives to fuel their economies built upon the jobs that formerly were in the US. Not a single Chinese soldier has sustained even a hangnail in defending their overseas oil-supply routes from Iran.

This country is a fucking joke, slowly sinking like the Titanic into an ocean of virtual red debt in the soon to be tens of trillions, before the middle of the century. Luckily, I will be long dead by then, and will leave behind no progeny whatsoever.

Like I told it like it really is, obviously...

We'll always be at "war" now, the unspoken words are that not being said by our leaders in DC, is that bringing the troops home would likely finish off our economy. The MIC is the only "growth" industry that we really have left.

 

[doinwork83]

Someone wants Maroth fired already....

Brad Penny may soon be looking for post-pitching/MLB employment in the sports-field as well, if he can't hook up as a FA or at least sign a minor-league contract with any other clubs next season. He will also be a newlywed, with a wife that has demonstrated that she is used to being in the limelight, and probably melts her credit-cards with friction from using them frequently, so maybe the Tigers can find him a spot somewhere within their organization too, if so.

"Bitter", table for one.

Was this rant really necessary? It has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the thread or anything Tigers related. I am sure there is am off-topic board where you can spew your opinions.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yes, go off topic please.

 

[batcave76]

Mitch[/color]]Yes, go off topic please.

He was comparing how the Tigers take care of former employees as opposed to other companies/industries......Then he went ape-shit! But that's OK. Sometimes it helps to vent to buddies!

Yeah, that is exactly why I posted that, Illitch and WCF take good care of their ex-employees, but whatever, I got carried away. I have thought once or twice about how Maroth was doing, and wish him success in his new position with the Tigers as a pitching coach, but can't help being a little jealous, considering what happened to my wife and I after her career job was outsourced to India, a mere two weeks after I had to resign from mine due to becoming permanently disabled. We lost just about everything, but I do know a few others who are now much worse off than us.

I'm sure it wasn't "taking care of a former employee" but hiring a former employee because they already knew he had the knowledge and work ethic. If it was taking care of a former employee....well shame on them.....that isn't how you run an organization....giving a guy a job because he was a "good guy".

Always helps to know some others that are worse off than ourselves. ....Esp if we wished it on them.
