    What is the rationale for wanting your 60-man roster full? Seems like all the negative impacts come from removing a player from the 60 man roster and make it easy to add people to the 60 man roster. If he wanted to, he could fill the last 5 spots in a snap by calling players up from Appleton. The 40-man roster is still the critical one since you can't play at the MLB level without being on it. That extra 20 people are really only around to practice and be ready to play. That can be done at Milwaukee or Appleton.

    Foltynewicz blamed the radar gun for his decrease in velocity Good one! Maybe it setup a conspiracy against him with the ball too. The air must be thicker and gravity increased also!

    I've had no issues with Sprint's coverage in cities or on major highways. But go out into rural areas (northern MN, NW Wisconsin, Iowa- almost nothing at my in-laws house) and it is pretty spotty for data coverage - normally covered, but at 2 bars and very slow access. I've not seen much change with the T-Mobile merger for coverage. FWIW, my work phone is AT&T and I've not seen any better coverage in those three locations I mentioned either. Typically my family and friends that live in those locations only get decent coverage with US Cellular. And my mom normally walks out on the deck to talk even with that.

    Did the Cubs put dummies in the bleachers? I only saw a couple highlight reels of last weekend's games and it looked like people out there, but no one moved.

    Maybe if Minnesota had this problem...

    This reminds me of a situation I had a few years ago. In a short stretch I ended up passing the same person at least 3 times while being on cruise control the entire time. It was really weird. That sounds like Minnesota plates. Well, as an original WI plate guy that now has MN plates... I've seen both. Drive the I-90/94 corridor and you will see this many, many times. Unfortunately, it seems that most of the times (more recent instances anyway) its because the person is doing something on their phone.

    The lease deal is good if you pay attention, but they hope you don't and it turns into a scam, IMO. At least the one time I did this (and currently doing it a second time), you make monthly payments towards the price of the phone for two years. Then they offer you a payoff to pay for the rest of the phone, return the phone and lease another, or payoff the balance of the phone to own it (though continued monthly payments will NOT reduce the payoff of the phone). - Example: If you pay $20/month for 2 years on a phone that costs $500, you will pay down $480 and have to pay off the remaining $20. But if you don't "buy it out" you can continue to pay $20/month from here to eternity and still owe $20. I believe (don't quote me) that anytime after the 2 years, you can pay off the balance to own the phone and stop the lease payments. But I'm not sure if they only offer that in a "window of time" and lock you into a lease after that. I put a calendar reminder on my phone to buy it out after 2 years and they did sent multiple email reminders when my 2 year period is up. Hope that helps.

    I hate the guy that when you pass them on the a freeway and then they speed back up because they don't want to be passed. Or after you pass them, they speed up and are on your bumper.

    Hell, I haven't even changed from my Sprint plan that costs 240 bucks a month for 4 phones. You can do this online once logged into Sprint. I just went from $40/month/phone to $30/month/phone. If you can't figure it out online, go into a store. They have made this REALLY easy to keep people. Last time I was in the store to add a line, the person alerted me to the new plans that were much cheaper. Years past, you had to leave to get a better deal. Also note that Sprint gives you a free subscription to Hulu (just the TV shows + movies, not live). Likewise with music streaming (Tidal). I've never heard of Tidal before, but a premium subscription is included with each phone line. So I dropped Amazon Prime music at $6/month while I was at it.

    yeah, it seems like if there can't be fans in the seats, the blackout rule should be suspended. I suppose getting a VPN plus MLB.TV would be cheaper than paying for Hulu or YouTube.
  11. CheezWizHed
    Yeah, I was guessing they added a couple guys to the 40-man recently that could be dropped back off without much concern about losing them.
  12. CheezWizHed
    I generally: - Buy MLB.TV, though I'm out of the Brewer's market - bootleg the Buck's games - though my Roku TV has a Buck's app that we watched a few games without announcers and just seeing 6 different cameras. It was both cool and annoying. - Pay for a month or so of Sling TV for the Buck's playoffs. - Pay for NFL Replay - I can watch all Packer Games moments after the game is played (generally Sunday night for me). It isn't live, but I got used to DVR-ing the game and hate watching the game live anyway.

    I saw that for the Athletic also, but wasn't familiar with the site. Is that worth it?
  14. CheezWizHed
    Agreed, but much has been made of Texas and AZ blowing up again. But looking at the numbers, it would seem like this is more analogous to the first wave, but delayed a couple months from other states.
  15. CheezWizHed
    When I looked at Texas and AZ's daily positive tests, it looks like they never had the initial peak that many states experienced in May. So maybe the second wave is a bit overblown? This would be their first wave. (*Caveat - there are other states like MN/WI that seem to be having a second wave similar to the initial May outbreak)
  16. CheezWizHed
    Are there wolves in Finland? Seems like this would give predators a bit of an advantage. But maybe reindeer don't have natural predators there? Also, that would be killer with a Rudolph nose!
  17. CheezWizHed
    Wasn't that the same last year too?
  18. CheezWizHed
    Wait, is this the old vintage Perry Mason episodes, or did they reboot the series? If so, I might have to look into this. What network? MeTV has been showing the B&W Perry Mason shows every night at 10:30 CDT where I live. Not sure if all MeTV stations do the same or not.

    I'll stick this up in the announcements today and remove it tomorrow.

    T-Mobile's Terrific Tuesday has an offer for today (7/21/20) for a free season of MLB.TV coverage. Unfortunately, I already purchased my season, but if you have Sprint or T-Mobile, download the Terrific Tuesday app and claim your season!

    Did the semis ride the middle of the lanes to prevent people from getting to the actual zipper as well? Where I live in western Illinois was the same way, but before a recent multi year construction project they did a big public information campaign on zipper merging, and to my surprise it did make a difference. It isn’t perfect, but it is better (not that it could have been much worse). This is true. WI drivers do prefer to get in line early and bark at others not doing so. I've been guilty of the same. MN actually teaches it when you take your test (moved to MN 3 years ago). I've seen signs about using both lanes too.

    At the very least at least now everyone with normal colds and flu will be at home out of caution in case it's covid instead of powering through to not miss work like in the past. Even as someone who almost never gets sick I found it gross to watch/hear on a daily basis. In theory you'd think normal flu illnesses and deaths go down noticeably next year for this reason combined with all covid precautions also slowing normal flue spread. Certainly the symptomatic people would be affected. Just curious if we will see a similar discovery about asymptomatic influenza people.
  23. CheezWizHed
    Since there has been so much made of people that are asymptomatic but COVID positive, I wonder if we start looking at influenza the same way.
  24. CheezWizHed
    ok, thanks for clarifying that. COVID-19 is for the illness, not the opt out. I was curious if one of these three might have actually opted out without announcing it. Lauer is back pitching and was never sick, so that is good news. But that concerns me about the others that they might actually be sick.
  25. CheezWizHed
    And we are ranked just above the Cubs and Cards... Excellent...
