Lavoro in aumento ma stipendi in calo per i laureati italianiPiù occupati rispetto a un anno fa, ma meno retribuiti. Con un vantaggio lavorativo e stipendiale che privilegia i laureati rispetto alle laureate e i residenti al Centro-Nord invece che al Sud. È questa, in estrema sintesi, la fotografia che emerge dal XXVIII Rapporto AlmaLaurea su Laurea e Occupazione presentato all università della Basilicata durante il convegno dal titolo Efficacia della formazione universitaria .Nel complesso, le due rilevazioni hanno coinvolto, per i percorsi di laurea, quasi 335 mila persone che hanno completato gli studi nel 2025 in 81 atenei aderenti al Consorzio, e quasi 700mila per gli esiti occupazionali, intervistati a uno, tre e cinque anni dal conseguimento del titolo. Il tasso occupazionale dei laureati è in aumento. A un anno arriva all 81,2% tra chi ha conseguito una laurea di primo livello e all 80,8% nel secondo livello (in crescita, rispettivamente, di +2,6 e +2,2 punti rispetto alla rilevazione precedente). A cinque anni dalla laurea l occupazione tocca il 91,7% nel primo livello, contro il 92,8 per cento del 2024. Nel secondo livello si arriva al 94,4%, che è il valore più alto dell ultimo quindicennio e rappresenta un miglioramento del 4,7% rispetto ai 12 mesi precedenti. Parallelamente, il tasso di disoccupazione a un anno cala al 9,2% nel primo livello e al 9,3% nel secondo. A cinque anni dal titolo la disoccupazione precipita fino al 2,6 per cento. Lo stesso segno positivo registrato sul fronte del lavoro non si registra però sugli stipendi. A un anno dalla laurea la retribuzione mensile netta è in media di 1.491 euro nel primo livello e 1.495 nel secondo; al netto dell inflazione, le retribuzioni reali sono risultate in lieve calo nell ultimo anno (rispettivamente -1,4% e -0,9%). Dopo cinque anni per fortuna il quadro migliora. La retribuzione mensile netta è pari a 1.796 euro per i laureati di primo livello e a 1.903 euro per quelli di secondo livello. Con un aumento dell 1,6% per questi ultimi e una sostanziale stabilità per i primi. Ne parliamo con Massimo Baldini, docente di Scienza delle Finanze presso l'Università di Modena e Reggio EmiliaLa Bce alza costo denaro di 25 punti base Dopo 13 mesi fermi al 2%, i tassi d interesse nell area dell euro sono tornati a salire oggi dello 0,25%, a distanza di un anno esatto dall ultimo taglio. Il tasso sui depositi presso la Bce, mediante il quale il Consiglio direttivo orienta la politica monetaria, passerà dal 2% - livello sul quale è rimasto per 12 mesi- al 2,25 per cento. Come si legge nel comunicato, «Il Consiglio direttivo si impegna a definire la politica monetaria in modo da assicurare che l inflazione si stabilizzi sull obiettivo del 2% a medio termine. In linea con questo impegno ha deciso oggi di innalzare di 25 punti base i tre tassi di interesse di riferimento della Bce. Il conflitto in Medio Oriente sta generando pressioni inflazionistiche e la decisione di aumentare i tassi è solida rispetto a una serie di scenari che delineano come lo shock potrebbe evolvere e incidere sulle prospettive di medio termine per l area dell euro». In conferenza stampa la presidente della Bce Christine Lagarde ha dichiarato: "La decisione che abbiamo preso non è una decisione drastica": un aumento di 25 punti base dei tassi "è una decisione che, chiaramente, invia un segnale ed è necessaria data la situazione economica in cui ci troviamo, l'incertezza che stiamo affrontando, le prospettive inflazionistiche e le proiezioni elaborate dall'Eurosistema". Lagarde ha anche aggiunto: Con una crescita 2026 rivista allo 0,8% da 0,9% precedente "non è che ci troviamo in un contesto in cui la crescita manca o sia minacciata in modo significativo". Lagarde ha citato "i numeri che abbiamo, le prospettive inflazionistiche, i rischi al rialzo sull'inflazione, la solidità della decisione in tutti gli scenari quello negativo, quello molto negativo e quello meno negativo e il fatto che questa decisione regga in tutte le circostanze". Lagarde ha ricordato che per la crescita "si può fare molto di più attraverso riforme strutturali, favorendo un mercato europeo senza ostacoli al commercio, l'unione dei risparmi e degli investimenti e così via". Approfondiamo il tema con Franco Bruni, presidente dell'Ispi e professore emerito del dipartimento di Economia dell'Università Bocconi.Fabi, su Mps priorità alla tutela a lavoratori e professionalità"Le eventuali evoluzioni degli assetti societari che riguardino il Monte dei Paschi di Siena non possono prescindere dalla tutela dell'occupazione, delle professionalità e delle condizioni di lavoro delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori del Gruppo". Così lunedì il coordinatore Fabi del Gruppo Monte dei Paschi di Siena, Guido Fasano, circa le operazioni che riguardano il settore bancario e coinvolgono Mps. "Le lavoratrici e i lavoratori di Mps - aggiunge - hanno contribuito in modo determinante al rilancio e alla stabilizzazione della banca e rappresentano un patrimonio di competenze e professionalità che deve essere valorizzato e preservato. Riteniamo fondamentale salvaguardare l'integrità del Monte dei Paschi di Siena, la sua identità storica, il suo radicamento nei territori e il valore economico e sociale che continua a rappresentare per il Paese. Qualsiasi progetto futuro dovrà riconoscere e tutelare questo patrimonio, evitando che logiche esclusivamente finanziarie ne compromettano il valore industriale, occupazionale e territoriale. Per questo riteniamo indispensabile un confronto costante con le organizzazioni sindacali, il cui ruolo resta centrale per governare ogni possibile ricaduta sull'occupazione, sull'organizzazione del lavoro e sulle prospettive professionali delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori. La Fabi continuerà a seguire con la massima attenzione l'evoluzione della situazione, per garantire la tutela dei lavoratori e delle loro famiglie". Dello stesso tenore le dichiarazioni di ieri di Luigi Vaudo, ex coordinatore Fabi in Piazzetta Cuccia, oggi membro della segreteria Fabi in Mps: "È ormai da oltre un anno e mezzo che le lavoratrici e i lavoratori del Gruppo Mediobanca vivono in una situazione di forte incertezza sul proprio futuro". "Prima l'Ops promossa da Mps - ha aggiunto - oggi le nuove operazioni straordinarie che coinvolgono il settore bancario e che potrebbero determinare ulteriori rinvii e nuove attese incertezze per gli oltre 5.000 dipendenti del Gruppo. Ricordiamo che, poco prima dell'avvio dell'Ops di Mps, era stata approvata all'unanimità la piattaforma per il rinnovo del Contratto Integrativo Aziendale. Un percorso negoziale che è stato successivamente sospeso a causa dell'assenza delle necessarie condizioni di governance", afferma. "Dopo diciotto mesi di instabilità e di continui interrogativi sul futuro societario, riteniamo che sia giunto il momento di riportare al centro dell'attenzione le persone che ogni giorno garantiscono con competenza, professionalità e impegno i risultati del Gruppo Mediobanca", sottolinea. Ne parliamo con Lando Maria Sileoni, segretario generale FABI (Federazione Autonoma Bancari Italiani).

Send us Fan MailChris Hart didn't wait. In his first week as NC State's head coach, he landed two transfer portal commits from the same program — infielder Hunter Warren and left-handed pitcher Chet Lax, both from Wright State. Layton, Greg, and Ethan break down both additions in full, debate which one is the bigger get, and dig into what their numbers against SEC competition actually tell you about how they'll translate to the ACC.Warren hit .328 with a .831 OPS across 61 games in 2025, won Horizon League Freshman of the Year, and posted an .856 OPS in 23 plate appearances against Tennessee and Georgia. Lax went seven innings against Tennessee with a 0.82 ERA across 11 innings of SEC competition, showing the kind of stuff that projects as a legitimate weekend starter. Both were First Team All-Horizon League. Both are exactly the profile Hart and Avent have always targeted — proven smaller-school D1 talent that translates up.Then the full offseason rundown. The Brazil game is cancelled and moved to Charlottesville — NC State nets roughly $1.15 million after travel expenses, but is now a five and a half point underdog in what was supposed to be a neutral site opener. Rett Johnson earns NCBWA 2nd Team Freshman All-American honors. Colt Hauser commits to the 2027 football class — and yes, his dad is Cole Hauser, Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone. Alex Scott commits over Tennessee and Texas A&M. Gunnar Rivers visits Raleigh wearing Philip Rivers' retired number 17 — and the debate about whether he'll actually wear it if he commits is genuinely one of the most interesting conversations of the offseason. LuJames Groover gets called up to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Diana Schneider reaches the French Open semifinals as a top 25 player in the world. Jacob Smith officially drops football for baseball only.Ethan closes with the Stat Pack — Warren and Lax's numbers against SEC pitching and hitting broken down fully, what a 2.5 WAR Hunter Warren looks like in NC State's 2027 lineup, and the sacrifice bunt debate that may never get resolved.Tuffy Talk is NC State's home for sports talk, hot takes, and everything Wolfpack.

The Giants took two of three from the Cubs over the weekend, but it should have been a sweep. After clobbering seven homeruns in an 18-3 drubbing of the Cubs in game one, they traded extra-inning wins in the 10th. The second game was painful, as PCA hit the game-tying homer with two outs in the ninth. The Giants offense has exploded over the last 30 days, a stretch where they are the best in the majors for batting average, runs per game, doubles, OPS, and slugging, and second in homeruns. Almost comically, their walk rate still ranked at the bottom of the league. So, why did they have a losing month with such prodigious numbers? Well, many runs and hits were concentrated across just three games, and their pitching took a dive, being at or near the bottom in every statistical category. We'll be back in two weeks!@torturecastwww.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani threw six scoreless innings to lower his season ERA to 0.74. Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani went 3-for-4 with two walks to raise his OPS to .941. Kyle Tucker and Alex Freeland each had three hits and a walk, and the Dodgers' offense was on base 22 times in total in a 7-0 win over the DBacks. Jeff Snider, Clint Pasillas, and Kevin Skinner are here to talk all about LA's dominant win in Phoenix, then branch off into ice cream discussions inspired by Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser on the broadcast.

Welcome to the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast…BIG-Z and the boys got a LOT to talk about today!”

Marshall Softball All-American Sydni Burko joins me on this episode of The ThunderCast for a conversation about one of the greatest individual seasons in program history, her decision to come home and transfer to Marshall, and why the future of Herd Softball may be even brighter than its present. In 2026, Burko was named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and Sun Belt Conference Newcomer of the Year while earning All-American honors and setting Marshall's single-season home run record with 24 home runs. She led the Sun Belt in home runs, OPS, and slugging percentage while finishing among the conference leaders in RBI, hits, and batting average. But this conversation isn't just about statistics. We talk about why a player who grew up just down the road from Marshall chose to come home, what made this year's team so special, playing for fellow Ona native Morgan Zerkle, and the culture that's helping transform Marshall Softball into one of the premier programs in the Sun Belt. Sydni also shares her thoughts on the future of the program, the returning talent that has Marshall fans excited, and why this team feels like it still has unfinished business heading into next season. And of course, we wrap things up with some fun rapid-fire questions covering teammates, music, food, Marshall traditions, and more. If you're a Marshall Softball fan, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. There is a lot of excitement throughout the Herd Universe right now, and after listening to Sydni talk about where this program is headed, you'll understand why. Topics Include: Why Sydni transferred to Marshall Coming home to West Virginia Setting Marshall's single-season home run record Sun Belt Player of the Year & Newcomer of the Year Marshall Softball's team culture Playing for Morgan Zerkle Returning talent for 2027 The future of Marshall Softball Rapid Fire Questions 2026 Stats ⚾ 24 Home Runs (#1 Sun Belt) ⚾ 1.342 OPS (#1 Sun Belt) ⚾ .854 Slugging Percentage (#1 Sun Belt) ⚾ 48 RBI (#3 Sun Belt) ⚾ 66 Hits (#4 Sun Belt) ⚾ .386 Batting Average (#5 Sun Belt) #GoHerd #MarshallSoftball #MarshallAthletics #ThunderCast #SydniBurko #SunBelt #CollegeSoftball #NCAAsoftball

Is it officially time to rage drop Tanner Bibee after another blowout, or do the metrics suggest a major bounce-back is coming? Episode Summary Joe Bond and AJ Applegarth break down the top waiver wire adds, brutal drops, and key rankings movers for Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season. The crew details why pitchers like Shota Imanaga and Nolan McLean are sliding down the rankings, and explains why struggling stars like Bo Bichette represent key buy-low opportunities rather than panic drops. Week 10 Fantasy Baseball Advanced Analytics & Strategic Breakdown The fantasy baseball landscape is shifting rapidly as we head into Week 10, requiring managers to separate raw surface statistics from true predictive indicators. The focal point of this week's analysis centers on Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee, whose disastrous outing against the Washington Nationals exposed massive vulnerabilities. Surrendering seven earned runs and an astounding five home runs over just three innings of work on Memorial Day sent shockwaves through fantasy rosters. Looking into his broader trajectory, a disturbing multi-year pattern emerges. Bibee's surface ERA has progressively climbed from 2.98 to 3.47, then to 4.24, and now sits at 4.57 for the season. Coupled with a 4.16 SIERA and a strikeout rate dropping below one punchout per inning, Bibee can no longer be viewed as an un-droppable asset. His underlying numbers indicate he has transitioned into a volatile, matchup-dependent option rather than a reliable rotation anchor. Pitching volatility dominates the landscape this week, highlighted by prominent rankings fallers Shota Imanaga and Nolan McLean. While some fantasy managers might react with panic to their downward slide in the rankings, it is crucial to analyze the shift structurally rather than assuming true skill regression. Shota Imanaga's dip reflects an expected correction after an incredibly hot stretch, making it an adjustment based on stabilizing underlying metrics. Meanwhile, Nolan McLean's slide serves as a reminder of how quickly pitching depth charts and small-sample performance can fluctuate in standard rankings models. Separating these structural rankings adjustments from complete profile collapses is what allows sharp managers to maximize their pitching rotations while others panic-drop viable assets. Conversely, the advanced data reveals lucrative buy-low windows for targets experiencing acute misfortune. Oakland Athletics slugger Brent Rooker stands out as a prime trade target despite a freezing cold spell that dragged his batting average down to .189 with a 52:17 strikeout-to-walk ratio. While his standard Savant page flashes concerning blue metrics, Rooker boasts a consistent multi-year track record of crossing the 30-home-run threshold. In an era where league-wide batting averages are depressed, maintaining a true 30-homer profile provides massive utility, making him an ideal target while his market value is rock bottom. Similarly, managers must remain disciplined with elite foundational bats like Freddie Freeman and Bo Bichette. Freeman's minor dip in the rankings represents a normal structural variation rather than a fundamental degradation of his elite plate discipline. Bo Bichette is another prime example of why surface-level struggles should not trigger a panic drop. While he appears as a "Homer Pick Drop" focus on the show due to recent visual adjustments and shifting team dynamics, his long-term track record remains undeniable. Bichette is not a true skills-based rankings faller to cut loose; instead, the underlying metrics suggest he remains an elite bounce-back candidate. Treating his depressed batting average as a structural buying window rather than a permanent anchor allows you to secure an elite infielder before his inevitable positive statistical correction occurs. On the waiver wire front, uncovering values requires a sharp focus on expected metrics and situational deployment. Washington Nationals starter Cade Cavalli has emerged as a high-priority addition, exhibiting elite command over his last three starts spanning 19.3 innings. Cavalli has posted a stellar 2.79 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP, and a spectacular 2.44 SIERA alongside 24 strikeouts—highlighted by consecutive 10-strikeout performances against Atlanta and the Mets. Backed by a highly potent Nationals offense, his run support floor remains high. Meanwhile, deep-league infielder options like Chase Meidroth of the Chicago White Sox and Blaze Alexander of the Baltimore Orioles offer flexible, multi-position eligibility. Meidroth benefits from hitting near the top of a White Sox lineup that unexpectedly ranks as the eighth-best offense by wRC+. Alexander provides elite short-term streaming upside, slashing .344 with a .913 OPS since mid-May, offering short-term category boosts while navigating structural gaps in the fantasy infield.

Tyler Davis joins the podcast to reflect on the winding path that finally led him to the major leagues at 27 years old. Davis revisits his days as a two-way standout at Sam Houston State, where he posted a 1.112 OPS in his senior season, and shares the frustration of going undrafted despite putting up huge offensive numbers. He also looks back on life in independent baseball with the Oakland Ballers and the moment everything changed when the White Sox signed him and gave him another opportunity to keep chasing the dream. Davis also shares stories from his rise through the White Sox system, including winning a championship in Birmingham alongside teammates like Rikuu Nishida and the emotions of learning he was heading to the big leagues. He relives striking out the first batter he faced in MLB, talks about navigating pressure situations with runners on base, and explains what he's learned from tough outings this season. Plus, Davis weighs in on whether he misses hitting, how he thinks he'd fare against MLB pitching as a position player, the teammates who helped him settle in, and what he hopes people remember most about his career years down the road.

A Memorial Day BDH on the biggest narrative in mid-season MLB — and what most pundits are missing about it.Trevor and Dan break down why the Rays and Brewers have become the lineup case study of 2026, why "they're just bunting their way to wins" is wildly off the mark, and how the real story is a three-step roster-construction philosophy rooted in 162-game survival, not October sizzle.Topics covered:Why the Rays and Brewers became "the lineups everyone wants to emulate" — and what's actually inside them (Junior Caminero, James Wood, CJ Abrams, Bryce Turang all have 40-HR power; the rest of the roster is the inefficiency)The "raise the floor" thesis: getting rid of every hitter with a 25%+ K rate so the 7-8-9 spots stop killing ralliesThe Wilmer Flores extinction event — why three-true-outcome guys without unicorn ceilings no longer have roster spotsRule-change tailwinds: pitch clock, pickoff limit, ABS, shift elimination — and why they all favor athletic, contact-and-run lineupsWhy Kyle Schwarber has quietly become a top-tier no-shift beneficiaryDoug Glanville's "you take your strike zone with you" — and what ABS does to walk rates league-wideStolen-base-adjusted OPS as the next stat people will start tracking (Marlins, Guardians, Brewers, Rays atop SB; Yankees + Nats slug + run)The Mike Rizzo doctrine: "build for 90 wins, hope the bounce of the ball helps with the World Series"The Dodgers as the exception (cruise-control roster) — and why everyone else is playing for the October coin flipWhy the Brewers got swept by LA and the Phillies couldn't manufacture one run vs. NLDS — the limits of slugging-only and scrappy-onlySpringer's Game 7 HR vs. Seattle and what it means for "you still need the bomb" in OctoberWhy this matters:Every market-inefficiency conversation in MLB right now lands at the Rays and Brewers. Most are missing the actual machine: it's not the bunts, it's the roster ROI lens. Small-market orgs treat lineup spots like index funds — Apple/Google-tier stocks are unicorns, the rest of the roster is built to never lose money.

And honestly, year one can do that to a person. The chaos is real. The second-guessing is real. The wondering-if-anyone-will-ever-take-you-seriously is very, very real.In this Story Snack, Stacy Havener tackles the fear that tends to sit underneath all of it:"I'm too early to be taken seriously."It's not irrational.

Presented by Maroon & Co, the Starkville CVB, and StrangeBrew Coffeehouse - State's offense took positive steps in 2026. A look at the increase in OPS as well as a look around the college sports landscape.

In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, Andrew Easton welcomes Dr. Kanyon Chism, Chief of Staff and Administrator at ESU 19/Omaha Public Schools (OPS), for a thoughtful conversation about de-implementation and the importance of creating space for the work that matters most in education. Dr. Chism shares how OPS began exploring de-implementation as part of its broader strategic work connected to the district's moonshot goal of having all students reading on grade level by 2030. Inspired in part by Leidy Klotz's book Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less, Dr. Chism explains how the district began thinking not only about what to add or implement, but also what to refine, reduce, replace, or stop doing altogether. This episode offers a valuable look at how school systems can move beyond initiative overload and begin building intentional processes for subtraction. For any educator or leader working to create coherence, protect time, and focus energy on the highest-impact work, this conversation provides both practical insight and a powerful mindset shift. Resources: Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less by Leidy Klotz. This book helped frame the episode's conversation around why individuals and organizations often default to adding more, even when subtraction may be the better path forward. https://leidyklotz.com/subtract/ “De-implementation: Creating the Space to Focus on What Works” by Peter DeWitt. This article offers a helpful education-specific overview of de-implementation, including the distinction between informal and formal de-implementation processes. https://corwin-connect.com/2022/05/de-implementation-creating-the-space-to-focus-on-what-works/

Episode 167 of Tablesetters is LIVE! We open with the surprising division leaders in the West as the San Diego Padres and Athletics continue leading their divisions despite major flaws on paper. The Padres rank near the bottom of baseball offensively but keep winning close games through late heroics, while the Athletics remain atop the AL West despite a 4.45 ERA and inconsistent pitching. We discuss Jackson Merrill leading off, Nick Castellanos delivering a huge homer after borrowing a bat from Fernando Tatis Jr., and the strange state of both West divisions. From there, we dive into the shocking struggles of Cal Raleigh after his 60-homer season in 2025. Raleigh entered Tuesday with a 43-plate appearance hitless streak and one of the biggest OPS drops in baseball. We break down the hard-hit decline, timing concerns, mechanical changes, and whether fatigue from last season's massive workload could be contributing to the collapse. We also discuss the growing noise around the New York Yankees despite their solid start. Is the 1-8 record against teams above .500 actually meaningful this early? Plus, Max Fried exits with elbow soreness, José Caballero lands on the IL, and Anthony Volpe returns to the majors after shoulder surgery. We get into MLB and the MLBPA officially beginning CBA negotiations, the growing conversation around a salary cap and floor system, and the financial imbalance highlighted by the Dodgers' projected $550 million combined payroll and luxury tax spending. The Braves continue looking dominant, and Michael Harris II is putting together the best offensive start of his career after major swing and approach adjustments against fastballs. In “What's the Word?” we focus on timing with Shohei Ohtani struggling through one of the worst offensive stretches of his career while the Dodgers continue searching for answers offensively. We also discuss Kyle Schwarber homering in five straight games as the Phillies continue surging under Don Mattingly, and close with the Tampa Bay Rays looking like the best team in the American League behind the resurgence of Shane McClanahan.

What if the biggest problem with “Emerging Markets” is the name?Edward Lam thinks that label has been doing the category a disservice for decades.Today, he's sitting down with Stacy to zoom out and question the category…then zoom back in to what that means for portfolios, risk, and real alpha.Edward grew up in Hong Kong, went to boarding school in the UK, and landed in EM in 2004. He had no training program or mentor, just four walls of books he was determined to read. By the time he left, he'd taught himself accounting, built a research function from scratch, and was running a fund that grew from £1M to £3.5B.Listen in to hear: How Edward built his own training program from scratch and why that became one of his biggest edgesWhat "subordinate currency regimes" means and how it changes everything we thought we knew about EM risk The tension between building something investable and staying true to the thesisWhat scaling from £1M to £3.5B actually looks like when you have to earn every rung yourselfWhy he walked away from asset management, what the gap taught him, and what brought him backMore About Edward Lam: Edward Lam entered the fund management industry in 2004 as an analyst at Emerging Markets specialist Lloyd George Management, covering Taiwan and technology. In 2007, he co-founded Somerset Capital Management, where he served as Head of Research and chaired the investment committee. In 2010, he launched Somerset's EM Dividend Growth strategy, scaling it from a ~$1.5M seed to nearly $4B AUM. Edward left Somerset in 2020, then joined Sloane Robinson in 2023, became CIO, and launched the SR Ocellus fund in 2024.In his free time, he enjoys reading about the history and philosophy of finance, including many areas that others (based on feedback) find boring.  ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?

Beyond The Diamond breaks down the most brutal stretch of Astros baseball in recent memory. We dig into the full scope of the injury disaster, the Joe Espada hot seat rumblings, why the bullpen construction has the team punting games by the 4th inning, and the growing frustration with roster decisions. But it's not all doom — Peter Lambert outdueled Ohtani with 7 innings against the Dodgers, Christian Walker is hitting .307 with a .959 OPS, and the young guys like Cam Smith and Bryce Matthews are stepping up.

PODCAST EPISODE (5/7/2026)Is this the worst Giants offense we've ever seen?The 2026 San Francisco Giants are off to a start so poor it's literally making franchise history for all the wrong reasons. In today's episode, we break down the statistical collapse at Oracle Park and why the "Buster Posey Era" front office is facing its first major crisis.  We're diving deep into the numbers that have San Francisco at the absolute bottom of MLB:Dead Last in Power: With only 22–23 home runs as a team, the Giants are sitting at 30th in MLB.The Run Drought: Dead last in runs scored (114) and shut out an MLB-leading 7 times already—that's once every five games.  The OPS Nightmare: A team OPS of .645 (29th in MLB) and a league-low walk rate are killing any chance of sustained rallies.  The Big Names Sliding: We look at the alarming struggles of Rafael Devers (.571 OPS), Willy Adames (.194 AVG), and why even Patrick Bailey is trending in the wrong direction offensively.  Is there any hope for a turnaround, or is 2026 already a lost cause? We analyze the hitting mechanics, the roster construction, and whether Manager Tony Vitello can find a spark before the NL West lead gets completely out of reach.Topics covered:Historical context: Comparing 2026 to 1883 and 2012.The Rafael Devers trade: One year later, is it a disaster?Willy Adames and the strikeout problem.Bright spots: Luis Arráez and Casey Schmitt.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8oPUQC1bQS1zWJ-e22QBzw/joinHumm Baby Baseball is an all baseball channel that talks baseball in general but also has a focus on the San Francisco Giants.  My name is Erik and if you're interested in appearing on Humm Baby Baseball or doing any kind of collaboration, please e-mail me at hummbabybaseball@gmail.com.  Please visit the HUMM BABY WEBSITE: https://www.hummbabybaseball.comHumm Baby Baseball PODCAST: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1093007San Francisco Giants Blog: https://www.hummbabybaseball.com/sfgiantsI spend anywhere from 3-8 hours every day working on Humm Baby Baseball.. if you enjoy this content, please consider helping me on Patreon.  You can give as little as $1 a month to help grow the brand and give me more time to operate Humm Baby Baseball!  PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/hummbabybaseballFollow HUMM BABY BASEBALL On:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/HummBabyBaseballTWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/hummbabybbThanks for checking out this podcast and if you like what you see, subscribe today!Support the show

Al via a Milano il Salone del Risparmio 2026, con oltre 300 relatori e focus sul ruolo del risparmio privato nell’economia. Il nodo centrale è l’elevata liquidità non investita: secondo Maria Luisa Gota, più di 1.500 miliardi restano fermi sui conti. Una massa che potrebbe sostenere crescita e imprese, ma che oggi non si traduce in investimenti per scarsa fiducia e incertezza. Questo immobilismo riduce l’efficienza dei mercati e frena lo sviluppo, mentre l’inflazione erode il valore dei risparmi. Il Salone punta quindi a rendere l’investimento più accessibile per trasformare il risparmio in motore di crescita. Interviene Tommaso Tassi, Country Head Italia Columbia Threadneedle Investment.Parte l’OPS di Unicredit su CommerzParte l’offerta pubblica di scambio di UniCredit su Commerzbank, aperta fino al 16 giugno con un rapporto di 0,485 azioni. L’AD Andrea Orcel chiarisce che l’operazione non è essenziale per la strategia del gruppo ma può generare ritorni elevati anche senza controllo. L’offerta incorpora uno sconto rispetto ai prezzi di mercato e sarà valutata dal board tedesco. Intanto UniCredit rafforza la sua posizione fino al 35,5% tra azioni e derivati e registra utili record nel primo trimestre, con 3,2 miliardi (+16%). Il commento è di Paolo Paronetto, Radiocor.Lo shock energetico spinge gli spread, rischi per la stabilitàSecondo il Fondo Monetario Internazionale, il rialzo dei prezzi energetici sta aumentando rendimenti e spread dei titoli di Stato, con rischi di contagio sul credito e sulla stabilità finanziaria. L’impatto sui consumatori è rilevante: una famiglia europea potrebbe perdere circa 375 euro nel 2026, fino a oltre 1.700 nello scenario peggiore; per l’Italia si stimano 450 euro, che salgono oltre i 2.200 nei casi più critici. Il dibattito europeo resta aperto tra chi chiede più flessibilità fiscale e chi, come la Commissione, invita a misure temporanee e mirate senza aumentare la domanda energetica. Ne parliamo con Marcello Messori, economista Luiss.Auto, crescita trainata dai bonus: +11,6% ad Aprile con Stellantis capolista, ma il mercato resta fragile tra fine incentivi e rischio daziIl mercato auto italiano cresce ancora: +11,6% ad aprile e +9,8% nel quadrimestre, con Stellantis in testa. La spinta arriva dagli incentivi, che sostengono anche l’elettrico (8,5% delle vendite), ma il settore resta fragile. Crescono anche altri gruppi europei e avanzano i marchi cinesi oltre il 12% di quota. Nonostante il recupero, il mercato resta sotto i livelli pre-pandemia e le prospettive sono incerte: pochi operatori prevedono crescita nei prossimi mesi. Senza incentivi, la domanda potrebbe rallentare, mentre pesano anche le tensioni commerciali e il rischio di nuovi dazi USA. Ci colleghiamo con Filomena Greco, Il Sole 24 Ore.

The funnel's compressing, content volume is exploding, and everything is quickly descending into AI slop. But the Miami heat and chilled coconut water hit just right, so everything is juuuust fine.  We're unpacking our hot takes fresh out of POSSIBLE, Hyve's sprawling beachside conference at the Fontainebleau and Eden Roc resorts. Between Walmart's "Who Knew" thesis, EMARKETER's no-safe-channels reset, and Phillip's case for what it would take for POSSIBLE to rival Cannes, the team weighs what makes a conference culturally relevant and what's still missing from most experiences. Great, Now We're Drowning In Pod Slop, Too Key Takeaways: POSSIBLE's beach-party-meets-marketing-conference format makes activations feel organic, not transactional. The customer journey isn't collapsing anymore; it's compressing. Pinterest now suggests 10 posts to break through feeds. Meta wants 50. Is the new playbook all about volume and velocity, not relevancy? Walmart leverages AI in 73% of its marketing investments, but it's still hiring. POSSIBLE can only rival  Cannes if or when the city itself has skin in the game. Key Quotes: [00:29:37] "People will not become comfortable with AI until it's indistinguishable." — Sarah, on the EMARKETER-led "No Safe Channels" panel [00:38:35] "Being AI first doesn't mean people last." — William White, CMO, Walmart US [00:45:25] "Ops fulfills the promise that marketing makes." — Chris Gosser [00:45:55] "Marketing's job is changing beliefs and behaviors." — Phillip, on William White's framing Associated Links: Get the post-POSSIBLE dispatch on The Senses Get our in-depth analysis of the modern conference industry Buy STRATA by Future Commerce Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

93% of the population. Almost entirely locked out of an industry that says it wants the best talent.Laurie Robathan grew up on the wrong side of that statistic. He was raised in inner-city Bristol, went to a state school, and grew up in a single-parent family. He found his way into finance through one thin thread of chance, and he's never forgotten how easily it could have gone the other way.At some point, that thread started to feel less like luck and more like a problem. Because what about everyone who never gets that thread at all?So Laurie walked away from a successful career in finance and built Fairfield in its place. It's a charity on paper, but really it's a business proposition designed to fix what he calls an inefficiently functioning labor market. Because when 80% of senior finance leaders come from just 7% of the population, that's not meritocracy. That's a pipeline problem.And he's not solving it from a boardroom. He's on trains, in school assemblies, at North London career fairs at 8pm. Doing the work.In this episode, Stacy Havener sits down with Laurie for one of those conversations that stays with you long after it's over.Listen in to hear:Why finance doesn't have a talent problem, it has an access problem Why the best person for the job may never make it to the interview room How Fairfield prepares students to belong before they ever walk through the doorWhat individuals and firms can do to helpMore About Laurie Robathan:Prior to his retirement from the finance industry, Laurie worked in the City for over 15 years, the last 10 years being at Kepler Partners LLP as Senior Partner. Before Kepler, he had roles at Scottish Widows Investment Partnership and Close Brothers Bank. As a member of Kepler's management committee, Laurie had input into all areas of the asset management business. He holds the Investment Management Certificate (IMC) and has an MSc in Finance & Investment from the University of Bristol. ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about what goes into wRC+ and why it's a strong, all-encompassing hitter stat. They start by discussing wOBA—the basis for wRC+. It's an important hitting stat that values outcomes in a slightly stronger way than OPS. Surprisingly, the under-the-surface nuances are more understandable for wOBA than OPS. They transition into talking about how wRC+ includes factors such as league environment and park factors, making it a useful contextual tool for any hitter. Additionally, they discuss how the single number can be useful for analyzing player quality but can miss some fantasy-specific stats. Finally, they discuss any gaps in wRC+ and how stable it is. Process+ is also mentioned as an effective tool to predict wRC+ both in-season and across seasons..

Is this just a weird start to the season, and will the better teams start to accelerate?1)The three best records in the league belong to the Dodgers, Braves, and Twins. I think we all assumed the Dodgers would be good, but you weren't all that bullish on the Braves. Thoughts on their start – without Ronald Acuna doing anything.2)What about the Twins? Can they keep this up?7.What hitter will you be targeting for this weekend's FAAB?8.What pitcher will you be targeting for this weekend's FAAB?
