![]() ![]() It’s because I’m not just drinking the Kool-Aid, I’m showing in it. And…I have to keep reminding myself they’re projections. I have to keep reminding myself that these are the 99th projectile projections. It’s simply not spring if you can’t dream some player will hit a crazy number. In the spirit of spring-and unbridled optimism-I thought it would be fun to look at those best-case numbers and call out a few for some key Royals hitters and pitchers. Those once in a lifetime, everything aligns and the Baseball Gods smile broadly seasons. Did you know there are 99th-percentile projections? Those are the absolute best-case scenario outcomes. For the player projections, the ones mentioned are in the 50th percentile, meaning they’re the base average of all the projections that were run by the system. The cool thing about the PECOTA projections is that they give you a range of outcomes. But 62 wins? Harsh, even by their cold, calculating standards. PECOTA and its associated circuitry hates the Royals. I know, I know…we’ve been through this drill before. You just get the feeling this is a team on the up.Īnd then PECOTA dropped their projections. And why shouldn’t it? This year, the Royals will feature a young team with a new manager and a plethora of fresh coaches. The time in baseball when optimism abounds. It is postal workers who keep this company going and this country connected – it’s time management recognise this, drop the nasty games and begin taking negotiations seriously, so that this dispute can be ended for good.Ahhhh…spring. Our members will not just sit back and watch as their working lives are destroyed by a company leadership hell-bent on ripping up historic arrangements that protect their rights and give them a voice through their union. This action is down to the conduct of Royal Mail management, who have displayed a complete lack of integrity. In effect, the CWU say, the changes represent the removal of the right of the CWU to negotiate at a local level, and must be viewed as a real step towards the derecognition of the union. They say that these decisions have been taken in direct contravention of the Industrial Relations (IR) Framework established between the union and the employer, the validity of which was re-committed to by Royal Mail CEO Simon Thompson in a letter dated the 6 th of January. The CWU’s national elected leadership say that they called the strike after Royal Mail begun forcing through unagreed changes related to the structure of work at offices across the country. The first 2023 Royal Mail Strike is unlikely to be the last. There is no sight in end to the bitter dispute and, frankly, the Royal Mail have appeared to do as much as possible to antagonise the Union and bate them into further action. If you have breathed a sigh of relief and commenced trusting Royal Mail to deliver your ecommerce products again, it’s time to switch back to the plans you had prior to Christmas. We’ll be doing what we can to keep services running, but we are sorry this planned strike action is likely to cause you some disruption. ![]() Royal Mail has well-developed contingency plans, but we cannot fully replace the daily efforts of our frontline workforce. ![]() Royal Mail say that they’ll do everything they can to keep the service running, but admit it’s an impossible task. Deliveries on both days will also be disrupted. This means you can pretty much guarantee that you won’t get a business collection on the Thursday, and I wouldn’t bet on you getting on the Friday either. Due to start at 12.30pm on Thursday the 17th, the first 2023 Royal Mail Strike will finish at 12.30pm on Friday the 17th. The first 2023 Royal Mail strike date has been announced, and although it’s a 24 hour walkout it’s been timed to run across two days to cause maximum disruption. ![]()
