yes tell us the kid au

ok it comes with a title, which is "there is something wrong in this house." Also this is obscenely long and may not even make sense

and all the crack stuff is in the backstory, bc elias is the one doing it and the fics from the kids' perspectives. elias going "actually screw this, I'm making one from scratch" is a time-honored excuse to get lil baby Jarchivist, and it's what we're going with here. but, like, making a kid is a lot of effort, and they can't even talk at first, and Agnes didn't work out anyway

So he adopts. Attempt #1: Timothy Stoker, recently lost his whole family to a tragic accident, marked by the Stranger (he hasn't hit on the ritual idea yet but he figures that having some awareness of the supernatural to start with can't hurt. But for now it's all very normal). He can be very subtle about priming Tim to be Archivist, and what better way to ensure loyalty that to be Literally Family?

Unfortunately for Elias, we've seen how Tim reacts to grief in canon, and it's making drastic life changes and getting angry, depending on how much control he feels like he has and how much support he's getting. And not having control is a big theme in this, so he goes for angry. It rapidly becomes pretty obvious that Tim is not going to be a good Archivist.

So we try again, like within a year of adopting Tim. Sasha is Tim's age, and v lightly marked by the Spiral. She's great, Elias is v excited, Sasha is going to be Archivist.

But he still has Tim. And murdering a kid who's not even to double digits is a bit much, even for Elias. But Tim and Sasha bond hard and fast, which, y'know, Archivists do need Assistants. And connection to a beloved brother is probably a pretty good way to get your Archivist back if they end up in the Lonely or the like. You can't use them as cannon fodder, but he figures that Sasha can have one keeper and he can hire randos to fill the other assistant slots.

So Elias' life is going great. Second part of plan: He needs to get rid of Gertrude... some day, but he wants the time to plan it, and she's still useful. But kids grow up, and he doesn't want to put Sasha in place until he's sure he's got a timeframe nailed down for his Ritual, and he doesn't want Sasha responsible for stopping Rituals. But kids grow up and get other careers and turn into their own people.

(Kids are already their own people, you say. Well, Elias barely treats adults like people sometimes. Obviously he's not going to be any better than the controlling and possessive and manipulative stuff we get with Jon in canon with people who also do not have the ability to fight back in the way adults can. Tim can't run away to Malaysia in this! He can't even get out of the city on his own!)

And Elias finds out that he really likes being a parent (this is not at ALL proportional to the quality of said parenting). He doesn't want to be done. And so he puts into use a lil Web artifact, which is that because I say so (and because the experience of being a child and not getting your opinion considered and all your stuff being filtered through what your parents think feels v Webby, to me) he has his kids take vitamins every night, some of which are normal and some of which are Evil Vitamins of Never Grow Up. (the Evil Vitamins have extensive world-building around how and when they're useful, they won't solve Jonah's dying issue bc they're playing on the kid thing, and he's not a kid. Also they are technically still aging, just v slow)

So Tim and Sasha just kind of. Stay 8 or 9ish. And kids that age aren't that observant. It takes them a looooooonnnng time to figure things out.

Meanwhile, y'know, Elias really does like having kids. And if one super-loyal assistant is good, surely more is better? And also, Tim leveled out when he had Literally Anyone besides Elias (because obviously your Vampire Kids have tutors, you can't exactly send em to school) to bounce off of, maybe another sibling will have the same effect. So if he were to find an entity marked orphan (or... not orphan. I think he straight up steals Martin), why not? So he basically acquires Martin and Jon the same way multiple people I know have ended up with extra kids, which is remembering how cute they are and deciding more is better. The kids take well to each other, and Tim in particular gets his big brother instinct activated hard.

And the thing is. Sasha was supposed to be Archivist, but no one really knows that. He didn't tell anyone. And he likes Jon. Jon is just as curious as Sasha, but also waaaay more susceptible to positive reinforcement (for a long time Elias is Jon's favorite as much as Jon is Elias') and reminds Elias of himself more, because boy. So now Jon is future Archivist and the rest will be his assistants. But for now they're all in Vitamin Limbo

And this all sounds very fluffy and goofy, but the actual matter of the story (though it's maybe more a series of vignettes) this is for is from the kids' POV, with them gradually realizing that there's something subtly not right with Elias, and exploring how they feel trapped, how they catch on to little things, and how each discovery has to be pitched to the other three, with varying success. And then focusing on how Jon especially just. Refuses to see it. And trying to convince him otherwise just puts distance between him and the rest and makes him closer and closer with Elias. And tonally it's kind of like a haunted house story? Only the ghost is what Elias is planning for them, and what he's already doing/done to them. Eventually at least Tim stops taking the vitamins, and then that worsens for him because he has more and more idea of how wrong things are, and can't convince the others, and can't take them all away from Elias if he can, and he feels this overbearing need to protect them all but he can't

#tma #the magnus archives #there is something wrong in this house #elias bouchard #jonathan sims #tim stoker #sasha james #martin blackwood #this is basically using the same stuff that i usually use for jonelias stuff in a family context instead #the time period is loose but the kids end up raised v proper victorian seen and not heard and all their toys are kinda that age #and they dont like. watch tv. so theyre even more isolated #also when things are good theyre v family von trapp just a lil line of adorable doll like children #also tim is the only cis kid. elias may be a regency dude planning to use these kids to start the apocalypse but he IS trans positive #thats part of what makes the realization hurt is that hes the first one to Get It for the younger three #age order is tim>sasha>martin>jon with tim n sasha being the same age give or take half a year adn martin and jon are the same #until they start not taking the vitamins and the age gaps get all wonky and longer #like tim ends up in the 12-15 range and jon is like 7 #when before it was more like 9 or 10 and 7 #and that gap is maintained once jon is allowed to start growing up a bit #(this happens thru elias getting a plan together but also spy vs spy with tim stealing jons vitamins)#also probably this should instead all be written as #jonah magnus #bc its a p long time scale but whatever #if i chuck the web concept for the vitamins they end up flesh instead #and start kinda. draining the kids. so i can have consumptive waif vibes for jon as things Get Dangerous #asks #mine #writing #concepts

The MCU (So Far) Ranked

With Avengers: Endgame right around the corner now feels like a good time to talk about all 21 films that brought us to this moment.

#21 - Thor: The Dark World (Alan Taylor)

Rating - 3/10

Look, there always has to be one.

Thor: The Dark World suffers from the same problem that most bad comic book movies do it is simply forgettable, this is the worst type of film to write about because I have noting to say. Far from being insultingly bad but also far from being any good. Honestly if you ever plan on cramming these films again do yourself a favour and skip this one.

#20 - The Incredible Hulk (Louis Leterrier)

Rating - 4/10

You can skip this one too.

The Incredible Hulk is a product of its time, in the late ‘00s this was about as good as action movies not called The Dark Knight got. This one isn’t unwatchable and the bit were The Hulk kicks Tim Roth into a tree is pretty cool but given how little this film has effected the franchise going forward you really wont miss anything by skipping it.

#19 - Iron Man 2 (Jon Favreau)

Rating - 4/10

I get why they made this movie, but I’d rather they hadn’t.

Iron Man 2 is basically just a teaser trailer for the better movies that were about to come out. This movie consists of boring conversations between Tony Stark and Nick Fury and even more boring scenes with the villains that really kicked of the cliché that these movies have boring villains. The suitcase Iron Man suit is really dope though.

#18 - Ant-Man and the Wasp (Peyton Reed)

Rating - 6/10

Meh.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is actually pretty good. Paul Rudd is allowed to fully explore his comedic talent making this a very watchable film however the script lacks any focus and it is ultimately difficult to stay invested in anything happening on screen. It’s a mixed bag but it’s pretty fun.

#17 - Thor (Kenneth Branagh)

Rating - 6/10

Kenneth Branagh made a super-hero movie, this is about as good as that idea could ever have been.

Thor is a surprisingly small movie, revisiting this film now feels slightly strange given what we have since seen of the character. Branagh was always the wrong choice to direct a Marvel movie especially during a time were the studio had far more say than any of their filmmakers. It’s worth revising this film to set up the Avengers but other than that it isn’t anything special.

#16 - Avengers: Age of Ultron (Joss Whedon)

Rating - 6/10

It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that this movie is just ok.

Avengers: Age of Ultron should be so much better than it is but it ended up being the poster child for when a studio gets cold feet and tries to take over on directors vision. Joss Whedon is an excellent story teller but this does not so off his talents at all. Once again this certainly isn’t a bad film it just isn’t great, there is some good dialogue and the introduction of both Scarlet Witch and Vision is worth seeing.

#15 - Captain America: The First Avenger (Joe Johnston)

Rating - 7/10

Way more camp than I remember .

Captain America: The First Avenger feels as though it has taken the framework of a more conventional war drama and just thrown in some superhero stuff and I don’t necessarily think that is a bad thing. When this film embraces its campness it can be very entertaining. Chris Evans was a prefect casting choice for Steve Rodgers and this film does go in an unexpected direction by making Captain America basically just a mascot but once again the villain is weak and large sections of the plot are forgettable. Overall worth re-watching it is probably better than you remember.

#14 - Captain Marvel (Ryan Fleck, Anna Boden)

Rating - 7/10

I’m sorry, I like this one.

Captain Marvel might be the most controversial film in the whole franchise. I have some grievances with this one, namely lack of any style or originality in the writing or direction but the chemistry between Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson helps to make this an enjoyable watch. I know you probably don’t agree with me but this is my list and I like this movie, so there!

#13 - Iron Man (Jon Favreau)

Rating - 7/10

Not as great as I remember but still pretty good.

Iron Man will forever be remembered as a film that changed cinema witch is so weird to me having re-watched it recently. This is a rather slow and somewhat cliché 2000s action flick with a paper-thin plot. Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges both give it their all and I have nothing but respect for Jon Favreau for turning RDJ’s mad ramblings into a coherent film.

#12 - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (James Gunn)

Rating - 7/10

I’m still not sure how to take this.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is the most visually stunning film in the MCU, almost every shot could be used as a laptop wallpaper. This also has quite possibly the strongest theming as its story about fatherhood and toxic relationships can bring a tear to your eye if you let it. So it is such a shame that this film is full of jokes that just do not land and weird side plots that feel like set-ups for movies that Marvel would probably never let James Gunn make. I kinda love this movie but this is as high as I can put it on this list.

#11 - Captain America: Civil War (Anthony Russo, Joe Russo)

Rating - 8/10

The fight scene though!

Captain America: Civil War is one great fight scene that is all anyone ever wants to talk about. I think the rest of the movie is also pretty good, this was our first look at how the Russo brothers would handle a larger ensemble cast and every character gets the screen time they deserve. Really though the airport fight is amazing!

#10 - Doctor Strange (Scott Derrickson)

Rating - 8/10

The word Strange is in the title.

Doctor Strange has a remarkably safe plot given the source materiel, although that can all be forgiven given how amazing the visual effects are. This is a very entertaining film mainly for the creative and ingenious uses of special effects. This film can drag a bit but it is worth it to see something that gives the end of 2001 a run for its money.

#9 - Iron Man 3 (Shane Black)

Rating - 8/10

And you thought my views on Captain Marvel were controversial!

Iron Man 3 is great and I will not change my mind on that. This was the first team up between Robert Downey Jr. and screenwriter/director Shane Black since 2005′s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and it was worth the wait. The dialogue is sharp and the plot with Tony Stark dealing with P.T.S.D. after the events of The Avengers makes for a great character study.

I am aware that the general consensus is that the plot twist sucks but with Ben Kingsley’s fantastic performance and the wonderfully absurd way that it is reveled I can’t help but love it. In all honesty I just to big a Shane Black fan to hate this (the same logic does not apply to The Predator).

#8 - Ant-Man (Peyton Reed)

Rating - 8/10

I can only image how great the Edgar Wright version of this would have been.

Ant-Man is so much better than people give it credit for. The dialogue is constantly funny and the screenplay is paced perfectly so that the film never has a dull moment even in the quieter character scenes. Moments like the train-set fight and the first time Scott Lang uses the Ant-Man suit are among the best scenes in the whole franchise. Like most people I have to believe that the Edgar Wright version would have been better but I must say that Peyton Reed did a pretty great job piecing what he had together.

#7 - Black Panther (Ryan Coogler)

Rating - 8/10

Marvel’s little awards season darling.

Black Panther is somehow one of the most important and talked about films of the decade and in all honesty it sort of deserves it. Coogler does what other MCU filmmakers would never do and dives head first into real world political issue, ending his film with a poignant note about free trade and open borders. Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger adds a nuance that is missing in most comic book movies. Overall Black Panther is a breath of fresh air in an over-saturated genre.

P.S that soundtrack is awesome!

#6 - Thor: Ragnarok (Taika Waititi)

Rating - 8/10

How did this happen?

Thor: Ragnarok is everything I wanted it to be. Taika Waititi is one of the most interesting filmmakers working today and it is great to see a major studio allow such a unique voice to make the exact film that they wanted to without sacrificing their creativity. This is not only one of the best Marvel films but one of the best straight comedies of the decade. I cannot wait to see what Waititi has in store in the future.

#5 - Spider-Man: Homecoming (Jon Watts)

Rating - 8/10

Things are looking up for Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: Homecoming was my favourite Spider-Man movie up until very recently. This genuinely feels like watching an 80s John Hughes film in the 2010s that also happens to action sequences in it. The scene where Peter Parker and Adrian Toomes are in the car together is brilliantly tense and shows of the dramatic range of both Tom Holland and Michael Keaton. The characters feel real and fleshed out and the breezy feel of the editing brings the world to life through the naive eyes of a young Peter Parker. I honestly can’t believe how good this ended up being.

#4 - Avengers: Infinity War (Joe Russo, Anthony Russo)

Rating - 9/10

This simply should not have worked.

Avengers: Infinity War is one of the most ambitious films in cinema history. I have so much respect for the Russo brothers for managing to make a film with this many characters and this many plot points feels cohesive and endlessly entertaining. I think the real triumph of Infinity War is how watchable and fun this movie is despite being 2 1/2 hours long, full of characters and constantly hitting you in the face with really depressing stuff. Let’s hope that the Russo brothers can pull of the same trick twice.

#3 - The Avengers (Joss Whedon)

Rating - 9/10

This movie isn’t given enough credit anyone.

The Avengers was a huge gamble back in 2012 and although it may now feel quaint given the achievement that was last year’s Infinity War Joss Whedon was able change the landscape of blockbuster cinema and make this whole thing possible. Almost every plot point in this film has since become cliché, Whedon and Feige laid out a blueprint for success that no one else has been able to copy since. The Joss Whedon humour and snarky dialogue helped to pave the way that these characters would interact in the future and his unique approach to utilizing an ensemble cast makes this film worth revisiting over and over again.

#2 - Guardians of the Galaxy (James Gunn)

Rating - 9/10

James Gunn hit the mainstream with a movie about a talking raccoon, I can never complain about the Hollywood system ever again.

Guardians of the Galaxy should not work on most levels but Gunn was just crazy enough to pull it off. The character interactions here rival the Wheadon penned interactions in The Avengers and the Gunn’s direction brings the strange worlds he has created to live in striking ways. Gunn was given a chance to showcase his humour and he ran with it, Guardians goes from dark and meandering to fun and rapidly paced within seconds and it is a complete joy to watch no matter how many times you have seen it.

#1 - Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Joe Russo, Anthony Russo)

Rating - 9/10

The Russo brothers came out swinging.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an entertaining, tightly directed, brilliantly acted, fast paced and well edited action film that just so happens to be a squeal to the First Avenger. Many of the best moments in the franchise are in this film including the elevator scene and the fight on the bridge, this film also has great character interactions especially with Steve Rodgers and Nick Fury. This feels like an update on classic James Bond stories with a modern edge, this is everything that a comic book movie could be and I highly recommend checking it out again if you haven’t seen it in a while. There is no question that The Winter Soldier is the best of the MCU.

Franchise Rating - 7.1/10

Yankees supervisor candidates: Issues to know because the search expands and continues

Over a month in the past, the New York Yankees parted methods with longtime supervisor Joe Girardi following the membership’s loss to the Houston Astros in Recreation 7 of the ALCS. The Yankees went into the 2017 season as fringe contenders, and wound up successful 91 video games and attending to inside one win of the World Collection. That wasn’t sufficient to avoid wasting Girardi’s job.

“I need to thank Joe for his 10 years of onerous work and repair to this group,” mentioned GM Brian Cashman in a press release after Girardi was let go. “Every part this group does is finished with cautious and thorough consideration, and we have determined to pursue options for the managerial place.”

Cashman made it clear it was the staff’s resolution to maneuver on from Girardi, not the opposite means round. Girardi’s contract expired after the season and there had been rumblings he would step away to spend time along with his household and recharge his batteries a bit. That is not what occurred although. Cashman beneficial the Yankees transfer on from Girardi and proprietor Hal Steinbrenner agreed. Steinbrenner mentioned not even successful the World Collection would’ve saved Girardi’s job.

Just a few days later, Cashman mentioned the Yankees parted methods with Girardi over considerations he didn’t “talk and join” with the gamers, which is just about an important factor a supervisor can do. Particularly with the Yankees going younger and constructing round gamers like Aaron Choose, Gary Sanchez, and Luis Severino. Communication is necessary, and the Yankees need to be sure they’ve somebody who can join with their gamers. They did not imagine Girardi was that man.

To this point the Yankees have interviewed 5 managerial candidates, and in response to a number of stories, extra interviews are forthcoming.

Cashman didn’t present a agency timetable for hiring a brand new supervisor — “We would like to have a brand new supervisor ASAP, however now we have a wholesome course of concerned with each resolution we make, and an important side is steps we take somewhat than time-frame,” he mentioned throughout his annual end-of-season chat with reporters — although in fact that is one thing they need to wrap up sooner somewhat than later.

So, now that we all know the Yankees will certainly interview extra managerial candidates, right here is an replace on the place issues stand with the managerial search. Take into account this a State of the Yankees replace, solely specializing in the supervisor and never scorching range information.

Who’ve the Yankees interviewed?

Like I mentioned, the Yankees have interviewed 5 candidates thus far. Listed here are the 5 with their interview dates:

Nov. eight: Rob Thomson, Yankees bench coach

Nov. 10: Eric Wedge, present Blue Jays participant growth advisor and former Indians (2003-09) and Mariners (2011-13) supervisor

Nov. 16: Hensley Meulens, Giants bench coach (and former Yankees participant)

Nov. 17: Aaron Boone, ESPN analyst (and former Yankees participant)

Nov. 18: Chris Woodward, Dodgers third base coach

Wedge is the one candidate with big-league managerial expertise, although Meulens has managed in winter ball and through worldwide play. He and Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius are shut. They’ve labored collectively fairly a bit with the Dutch nationwide staff over time.

Thomson is a Yankees lifer. He joined the group within the 1990s and has held quite a lot of teaching and entrance workplace positions, so he is aware of the staff inside and outside. That mentioned, Thomson is overlaying all his bases. He interviewed for the Twins bench coach place earlier this offseason and can quickly interview for the Phillies bench coach place.

Rob Thomson will interview this week for the #Phillies bench coach job. Nonetheless one among 5 official candidates for #Yankees managerial opening. Yanks haven’t but indicated subsequent step of their course of.

— Sweeny Murti (@YankeesWFAN) November 27, 2017

Boone, who hit a somewhat necessary dwelling run throughout his time with the Yankees, has no teaching or managerial expertise. He joined ESPN instantly after his taking part in profession led to 2009. Woodward retired as a participant in 2012 and has shortly risen up the teaching ranks with the Mariners and Dodgers. As many groups have proven, managerial expertise will not be essentially a requirement. Groups are hiring zero expertise candidates greater than ever.

Who’re the brand new candidates?

To this point we solely know one: Carlos Beltran. The just-retired Beltran, who performed with the Yankees from 2014-16, will interview for the job on Wednesday.

Sources point out that Carlos Beltran subsequent to be interviewed for Yankees’ managers job. Sixth candidate to be thought-about.

— Steve Phillips (@StevePhillipsGM) November 28, 2017

Carlos Beltran’s interview with #Yankees will likely be tomorrow morning, a supply tells The Athletic.

— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) November 28, 2017

Beltran has made it no secret he desires to handle in the future. Cashman danced across the query when requested about Beltran’s candidacy on the GM Conferences two weeks in the past — “I’m conscious of his curiosity in managing sooner or later. I am going to go away it at that for proper now,” he mentioned — although clearly he’s now a candidate. Proper now, Beltran is the one new candidate we all know of.

Who’s not among the many new candidates?

We do not know who else the Yankees will interview except for Beltran (listed here are some potentialities), however we do know who they may not interview subsequent. A number of potential managerial candidates have been dominated out for one purpose or one other. Amongst them are former Tigers supervisor Brad Ausmus …

Yanks reached out to Brad Ausmus, nevertheless it appears they bought the identical reply because the mets. He’d wish to take a 12 months off from managing.

— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) November 13, 2017

… former Yankees participant and present YES Community analyst John Flaherty …

John Flaherty has not heard again from the Yankees after expressing his curiosity within the managing job

— Anthony Rieber (@therealarieber) November 14, 2017

… former Yankees participant and present Dodgers particular advisor Raul Ibanez …

The #Yankees reached out to Raul Ibanez to debate their supervisor opening shortly after Girardi’s dismissal. Ibanez finally determined he wasn’t prepared for such a dedication.

— Ken Davidoff (@KenDavidoff) November 13, 2017

… former Yankees participant Jim Leyritz …

Jim Leyritz referred to as Brian Cashman to inquire a couple of Yankees teaching place and mentioned Cashman informed him he didn’t have sufficient expertise.

— Anthony Rieber (@therealarieber) November 14, 2017

… and former Tigers first base coach Omar Vizquel.

Thought Omar Vizquel may make an excellent potential #Yankees managerial candidate. He says they have not reached out and he is bought a “contract on the desk” from one other staff proper now, however would not say the place/what capability.

— Brendan Kuty (@BrendanKutyNJ) November 13, 2017

Obtained all that? Moreover, Yankees third base coach Joe Espada and minor-league catching coordinator Josh Paul will not be candidates for the managerial job both. Espada (Astros) and Paul (Angels) took bench coach positions with different groups earlier this month. They have been speculated as doable managerial candidate quickly after Girardi was let go, although neither was given an interview, which is probably going why they moved on.

Is there a favourite proper now?

Nope. Probably not. And if there have been a favourite, the Yankees in all probability would not be trying to conduct extra interviews, proper? For what it is price, Jack Curry of the YES Community believes Boone is the present chief within the clubhouse.

Curry has coated the Yankees for many years and is among the most plugged in reporters within the sport. His hypothesis tends to learn somewhat than guesswork. That’s the closest now we have to any type of indication about which means the Yankees are leaning, and that is not a lot in any respect. Proper now, this managerial search nonetheless appears large open.

What number of candidates will the staff interview?

Cashman informed reporters he began the managerial search with an inventory of 20-25 candidates, and that is an terrible lot. The Yankees will not be truly going to interview 20-25 individuals, nonetheless. They began with an inventory of 20-25, whittled it down, and are interviewing one of the best candidates. Each Cashman and Steinbrenner indicated fewer than 10 interviews will happen.

The Yankees will interview “lower than 10” managerial candidates, Hal Steinbrenner mentioned.

— Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) November 15, 2017

With 5 interviews already within the books, not too many extra will happen.

Interviews will likely be a two-step course of

In response to NJ.com’s Brendan Kuty, 5 individuals are conducting the managerial interviews in New York: Cashman, senior vice chairman and assistant GM Jean Afterman, assistant GM Michael Fishman, vice chairman of baseball operations Tim Naehring, and assistant skilled scouting director Dan Giese.

As soon as the primary spherical of interviews are full, the Yankees plan to pick out their two of three prime candidates, and fly them to the house base in Tampa to satisfy the Steinbrenners. Hal is the sixth individual concerned within the interview course of. So as soon as the Yankees full their first spherical of interviews in New York, a smaller second spherical of interviews will happen in Tampa. Evidently, this course of will not be notably near wrapping up.

The brand new supervisor will get to select his teaching employees …

Not surprisingly, the brand new supervisor can have some say into his teaching employees. That’s fairly normal for brand new managerial hires.

Expectation is new Yankee supervisor will choose some coaches. Yankees will seemingly retain some coaches, however need new man to have say on employees.

— Jack Curry (@JackCurryYES) October 27, 2017

The contracts of your complete Yankees total teaching employees, together with Thomson and Espada, expired after the 2017 season together with Girardi’s contract. The teaching employees is totally empty proper now. It isn’t only a supervisor the Yankees have to rent. They’ve to rent coaches too.

… apart from the pitching coach.

The brand new supervisor can have some say into his teaching employees with one exception. Pitching coach Larry Rothschild will return regardless of who the Yankees identify supervisor, in response to Joel Sherman of the New York Publish. Sherman says the Yankees “all the time (have) valued Rothschild’s potential to mix analytics with hands-on work with the employees,” so he is sticking round. His contract expired after the season, however a brand new one is coming.

It’s not unusual for a brand new supervisor to inherit a member(s) of the teaching employees. Joe Torre inherited third base coach Willie Randolph and bullpen coach Tony Cloninger when he joined the Yankees in 1996. Girardi inherited hitting coach Kevin Lengthy and first base coach Tony Pena when he took over in 2008. Additionally, White Sox pitching Don Cooper has stayed on by way of 4 managers (Jerry Manuel, Ozzie Guillen, Robin Ventura, Rick Renteria) and Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt has stayed on by way of 4 managers as effectively (Grady Little, Torre, Don Mattingly, Dave Roberts).

Rothschild has been New York’s pitching coach since 2011, and he’s extremely regarded inside baseball and thought of one of many prime pitching coaches within the sport. The Yankees aren’t about to let him get away. Rothschild seems to be the one teaching rent the brand new supervisor is not going to have a say in.

Is not this taking unusually lengthy?

Sure, it’s. For positive. It has been greater than a month since Girardi was let go and the Yankees aren’t even achieved with their first spherical of interviews, nevermind the second spherical. 5 different groups modified managers this offseason. This is how lengthy these 5 groups went between firing their outdated supervisor and hiring their new supervisor:

Just a few issues to bear in mind right here:

These groups have been all in search of managers on the similar time, so there was some competitors. Alex Cora interviewed for a number of of these managerial openings, in actual fact, so the Pink Sox needed to rent him shortly to verify they bought their man. Proper now, the Yankees are the one managerial opening within the league. They are often affected person.

Some outdoors components have delayed the managerial search. Instance: Thanksgiving. The Yankees and the varied managerial candidates have been all dwelling with their households final week, not conducting interviews. Additionally, Cashman and his employees have been in Orlando for the GM Conferences two weeks in the past. Robust to carry managerial candidate interviews in New York once you’re in Orlando for league conferences.

Cashman and his employees will likely be again in Orlando for the Winter Conferences in two weeks. Till then, their schedule is evident. The Yankees have all this week and all subsequent week to conduct interviews. Might they wrap up their managerial search earlier than then? After all. However given the present tempo of issues, the Yankees aren’t an enormous rush to call a brand new supervisor.

Wells Fargo Championship 2017 live stream: Tee times, TV schedule, and how to watch Thursday online

The Wells Fargo Championship is one of the premier stops on the PGA Tour and this year we’ll get a look at a new venue.

May can be a tough month on the PGA Tour calendar. It’s sandwiched in between a bunch of months with major championships. Granted, there’s The Players, which everyone plays if they have an exemption. But it’s also a stretch where players feel they can pick and choose a bit, especially before the summer sprint really starts in earnest. So you can get a lull between the Masters and the end of May.

One of the premier events during this stretch, and really on the entire PGA Tour schedule, is the Wells Fargo Championship. The tournament’s identity and appeal largely come from its venue, Quail Hollow in Charlotte. It’s an excellently maintained track, long, and with major championship bones. This year, however, Quail is actually hosting a major, the PGA Championship in August. So the annual May stop for the Wells Fargo was a no go, taking some appeal away for the players that have always put it on their schedule because of the course.

This year’s Wells Fargo moves across the state to the Wilmington area and Tom Fazio’s Eagle Point. From all early accounts, the place is absolutely pure. The conditioning of the course is what we’ve heard the most about so far, with Augusta-esque perfection from tee to green. While it’s not Quail Hollow, this might be a nice change on the schedule and a good opportunity to see some of the best in the world on a new track.

While the course looks like a strong replacement for Quail, the field took a bit of a hit this year. As I noted last week, some of that could be due to the boost in popularity of the Zurich Classic. The interest in that new two-man team format may have made the weeks preceding it and this week an easier pass for some of the bigger names (13 of the top 30 played last week in NOLA, which had 3 of the top 30 last year). Rory McIlroy, a staple at the Wells Fargo, also got married and is taking a break until next week’s Players. Andy at the Fried Egg ran the numbers and after 14 of the top 25 committed to last year’s Wells Fargo, only 6 showed up this year at Eagle Point.

The field may be down, but that doesn’t mean this won’t still be a good watch. The new course is worth checking out and old friend Phil Mickelson will be back in action, making his first start since the Masters. The world No. 1, Dustin Johnson, is also back, making his first start since the WGC Dell Match Play. That’s who everyone will want to see, especially with The Players coming up next week. DJ says he’s healthy and ready to go again after his fall at the Masters. We’ll get a look early on Thursday, when he’s playing in one of PGA Tour Live’s featured groups streams before 8 a.m. ET.
