2020 Draft Pick Discussion, Rounds 1-5
homer replied to Eye Black's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
I have no idea who anyone is this year but I am confident I will see lots of potential in the Brewers pick -
You should tread lightly. Plenty of places on the internet to get into the nuts and bolts of this topic.

2020 MLB Draft Thread (Pre-Draft Discussion)
homer replied to Eye Black's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
I haven't been this excited since the NFL draft in April. -
I've seen plenty of people at Packer games boo and point at the players kneeling. If you were looking at the flag you wouldn't see them, and if you are pointing your hand then it isn't over your heart where it should be. Also there are still so many people that don't take off their hats. Why is it that the players have to follow "the rules" but no one else? Are cameramen exempt? They are walking around doing their job.
-
NFL players weren't required to be on the field for the anthem before 2009. Maybe go back to that.
-
I think there are rules against public ownership. Packers are grandfathered in.

I have the impression from the media that OMG TEXAS ARIZONA GEORGIA etc are about to go into covid crisis. From the numbers you posted it doesn’t appear the case (big surprise)...although yes we’re having an uptick. To be expected with people going about their business and thousands of angry protestors completely ignoring the very social distancing guidelines they forced the country to obey. Uptick started prior to protests but you do you.
-
Also, % positive tests have risen in AZ every week for the last three weeks. So to my original point...they are experiencing a spike.
-
re: ICU occupancy - look at the percentage occupied May 15th 72% June 6th 77% I'm assuming there are fewer ICU beds now than before. May 11th it was 68%
-
Arizona is going through a big spike right now. This is from the biggest healthcare system in the state:

Loved The Natural but the final shot in the movie ruins it. Best player of all time and his kid throws like a chump. Eight Men Out is great.

I thought this was kind of funny: MLB: here have a burger MLBPA: you promised steak MLB: [/rips burger in half] here have two burgers MLBPA: that’s not two burgers MLB: can make it four burgers if you want no problem

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/investigations/coronavirus-excess-deaths-may/ "Between March 1 and May 9, the nation recorded an estimated 101,600 excess deaths, or deaths beyond the number that would normally be expected for that time of year…" Unknown how many of these are due to Covid and how many are due to other things.

Just so I know what to look out for, what exactly is the definition of “junk science”? Is it any science? Science I agree with? Science I disagree with? science by someone who is not a scientist? Science by many people who are scientists? Great question. Junk science is "science" that does nor follow the scientific method. Commonly, it is influenced by any and all of: bias, politics, and money. Anti-science has plenty of the same.

COVID-19 aftermath: What things will change forever?
homer replied to adambr2's topic in Off-Topic Forum
The people who don't wear the masks are the people who were listening when this first started as the CDC repeatedly said, "must maintain a six foot distance, masks are of no benefit." Now that the government has run out of money and wants everything open to start the revenue flow again, they have sent out the media to say "wear and mask and all will be OK." From April 3rd: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover.html "In light of this new evidence, CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission." -
Speaking of insurance, do teams have any kind of catastrophe insurance? I would think so in case of like an earthquake or war or something. I have no idea though.
-
And now you see why. I guess you're saying we should all wear masks then?
-
I thought we weren't supposed to listen to WHO anymore. This isn't new by the way. WHO has had this stance since the end of March. CDC disagrees obviously.
-
Its not about taking a side. Its about wanting games played. Sure owners could operate this season at a loss, but there is no motivation for them to do so. By the same logic, the millionaire players could play this season for free. If the players are going to take a hardline stance of no paycut with substantial revenue reduction, the season doesn’t seem possible. s A player making zero dollars is not the same as an owner losing money on an investment.

COVID-19 aftermath: What things will change forever?

Only if you have a crappy roommate. It takes two (roommates) to tango. My freshman year, my family and I walked in on my roommate and a companion with no notice. I didn't even know he had a girl in his life. No towel on the doorknob? How rude. -
huh? No where in Boras' rant did he make that point. For the relevant question yes some teams can cover the pro-rated salaries + baseball operations namely the large market teams could. The Brewers specifically would not be able to cover the pro-rated salaries + baseball operations with their TV revenue and I believe the majority of the teams in MLB would be just barely in the black with a very small margin for error. Secondly franchise value has no bearing on player salaries and if you are comparing the two you are a fool. First off, don't call people fools regardless of what they post. Secondly, do you have a link to your assertion that teams would not be able to cover the pro-rated salaries and operations?

Looks like they are using the Dolphins stadium as a drive in: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/05/26/dolphins-turning-hard-rock-stadium-into-a-drive-in-theater/ -
That's actually part of the problem - there's too many good players. I'd be curious to see how short games/putting has changed relative to 30 years ago. Today's players obviously crush off the tee - I'm curious if that's where the bulk of the improvement comes from or if everything is better.

Golf was popular but a quick check of TV ratings when Tiger plays in a tournament vs doesn't play is all you need to know that golf won't be nearly the same when he's done. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonifitzgerald/2018/08/13/does-tiger-woods-still-boost-tv-ratings-make-that-a-resounding-yes/#1bcdb9e84005
