    They could have told the truth about masks from the beginning and it wouldn't have mattered there was already a shortage for the masks and I doubt there were many for public consumption anyways. They could have had the companies pull their stock from public consumption. If you lie about one thing too many times the general public will start losing faith. This is where we are at now the government has lied too much and thus not many people are taking them seriously when they say something. How many more lives would that have cost is probably a negligible amount and there is no way to prove it either way so I am not sure why you are even asking this.

    While it could be an indicator the season won't happen but I believe the spring training facilities being closed are because of the uptick in COVID cases in Arizona and Florida. The teams will probably move their spring training facilities to their home ballparks.

    Small sample size alert but from an SI article: https://www.si.com/mlb/2018/11/19/mlb-draft-high-school-pitchers-velocity-tommy-john-surgery-problem It is about 2-years old now from this article but his main point was the uptick in velocity but I think there is a correlation that the teams would look at and see that it is also a risk to draft and sign younger players. I believe if you look at the international signing of players you would see the same. You can see there is a change in how the teams are drafting pitchers. The number of high school pitchers have been going down each year that are drafted in the 1st round. If there is an obvious selection I believe those players will still be picked but I believe there is a shift towards more college pitchers and a shift away from international and high school pitchers. Unfortunately for the international players they don't have much of a choice but sign or continue playing in their home countries while US and Canadian players are able to choose the college route. What maybe interesting to see is if the Japanese and Korean leagues jump on these international players. I think the money is still too good for these players to pass up playing in the US than playing in Japan or South Korea right now and at least in the Japanese league they have restrictions in doing this.

    I don't think a mask is going to help in that situation when it is densely packed like that. Mask or no mask it is still spreading.

    Wearing a mask doesn't prevent you from getting COVID. The only thing a mask will do is prevent you from spreading it. Though some of the homemade masks are basically just face decorations that don't really do anything at all.

    Two form authentication should be enabled on everything. Even with a strong password that can be hacked or stolen if a company has poor cyber security. Even companies or organizations with good or great cybersecurity will get hacked or have something stolen from them at some point. Two form authentication is another barrier for hackers to have to get through.

    This article from ESPN doesn't paint the players in a good light. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29329357/union-proposes-70-game-plan-mlb-sources-say

    Neat the Brewers are in the NFL now!

    They are the ones who want to play more games so yeah fans can criticize the players for this. If they were about not putting themselves at risk they would be advocating for less games but they are not. It is more about money than anything else.

    Paper and coins will be a thing of the past soon. The major banks have been pushing for this and with the blockchain now becoming more and more prevalent it shouldn't take all that long to move away from paper and coins. FINTECH is a newish field in the financial industry. If you are looking for a job or want to make a career move take a FINTECH bootcamp as soon as possible.

    Location matters to some. For example maybe they are tired of living in the state and want to experience living somewhere else. At 18 or 19 years old if I had the choice to go anywhere on a scholarship Florida, Texas and California are far better options than Wisconsin weather wise. They could also have a better relationship with a coach at another school.

    I wonder if the NFL season will be played with fans at all. I doubt fans will be able to attend games if there is a 2nd wave this fall. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29328206/dr-anthony-fauci-football-needs-bubble-format-play-2020

    Hiura is a definite candidate for the DH next year. Plus there are about a billion options in FA that you can get rather cheaply to play DH. Finding someone to play as the DH for the Brewers would not be all that difficult.
  14. nate82
    Which also means it will be almost certain that it will be in the next CBA. The writing was already on the wall that the DH would be introduced to the NL as early as 2022 with the next CBA but now it is basically going to happen. I think this will be good for the sport and might bring in some younger fans. The game still needs to be sped up a bit but this is a step in the right direction for MLB.

    Kaepernick was and is a horrible QB please look up the stats especially his 2015 season. I believe it is still the worst season by a QB ever. Even Tubisky's season last year wasn't even as bad as Kaepkernick's 2015 season was. His 2016 season wasn't all that much better he was a horrible QB that had baggage and that just doesn't work for a QB at best is a backup QB. I'm sorry but teams are not going to carry a controversial backup QB on their team please look at Tebow before you say anything about Kaepernick's race. Kaepernick and Tebow are about equal when it comes to locker room distractions from the media. Plus Kaepernick wasn't all that receptive to a backup role his wife or girl friend I forget which it was called the Raven's owner a racist and that basically blew one of his contracts. So yeah he wasn't black balled out of the NFL all of this is on him and oh yeah he sucked as a QB.

    I had a little suspicion that the Brewers would go bats over pitchers in a shortened season where there would be no minor league season. It kind of makes some sense the pitchers would basically lose a year of development and would be put behind a year. The last time some of the players pitched in a game goes back to early in the year that is a long time to be off. I am wondering if the Brewers thought of this as a risk to pitchers being injured or losing a year or two for a college pitcher. I think if there was a HS pitcher they liked when they were picking they would have gone with a HS pitcher but I think they eliminated the college pitchers unless it was someone who fell into their lap and they couldn't walk away from said player. I don't know just a theory I guess.

    Yes and no. Depending on the business it is a legal issue also. For example if an employee is operating a forklift and runs over a customers foot while high/drunk the business would be legally liable for this. While the employee is the one who caused the accident by being high/drunk the employer still takes on the risk financially. The employee may still face a misdemeanor charge or a criminal charge depending on the severity. The employer has the responsibility of insuring that their employees are of sound mind when they are working. Another example an employer can be held responsible for a drunk driving accident if the employee was participating in a company sponsored event that serves alcohol though I believe this is different in each state on what they are liable for. As for marijuana I think you need testing for certain occupations. Obviously like alcohol you don't want someone operating heavy machinery, driving, or doing anything that could put someone's life in danger while being high or drunk. Though I will say one thing I would rather see someone doing marijuana over something like pain pills like Oxycontin or some of the anti psychotic drugs.

    Wow seriously? He is not a defensive first shortstop.
  19. nate82
    Dang was hoping Jordan Walker would be there in the 2nd for the Brewers.
  20. nate82
    Yes! Love this pick.
  21. nate82
    Hoping the pick is Garrett Mitchell. Come on Brewers just pick one player I like!

    It's worth a note of caution here, though: Though the above is believed to be true for cases that stay completely asymptomatic, there is still significant concern regarding cases where the person has been infected and later develops symptoms, as it is believed that they're still super contagious (pre-symptomatic vs. truly asymptomatic). About 40% of transmissions are happening during this time: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/09/health/who-coronavirus-asymptomatic-spread-bn/index.html I think everyone hoped that like the flu the summer weather would put a halt to the virus for a while. That it's still a major problem in Arizona suggests that isn't going to be the case. One of the bigger reasons for the drop in the flu in Arizona during June is that people tend to hibernate during the high temperatures. It has been rather cool lately for June and we will be entering monsoon season next month. Annedoctal information but the flu, strep, and other sicknesses usually last in the office until about the end of June here. We don't get humid days until about July or August when the rainy season starts. We have had people out with the flu in July or August here. Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi should tell us if this will be killed in the summer or not. Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and parts of Texas shouldn't be included in determining if this gets killed because of the high heat.

    The players union do not want a salary cap which is what shared revenue would bring in. The players rejected the last attempt at a salary cap and revenue sharing in the 90's which resulted in a strike. I am surprised that the large market teams would even suggest revenue sharing. Maybe there were enough small and mid market teams that wanted the revenue sharing and it passed. There are way too many obstacles for revenue sharing to ever be something that will happen in MLB.

    I am hoping either Garrett Mitchell or Jordan Walker fall to the Brewers.

    Of all the new Star Wars movies and TV I would rank them: 1. Clone Wars 2. Mandalorian 3. Rouge One 4. Rebels 5. Solo 6. Force Awakens 7. Rise of Skywalker 8. Last Jedi You can probably skip 7 and 8 and maybe 6 also. I liked the CGI shorts for the Star Wars: The Old Republic games more than the movies. The fan made Vader short film on YouTube was also better than those movies.
