Source? This is opinion rather than fact, though, right? You're posing a lot of data with nothing to back it up, and I'm sure the board would like to review the source material to determine for ourselves. 14 people on the reservation near me have committed suicide in the past 9 days, there is skyrocketing OD, domestic/child abuse, alcohol poisoning per capita are through the roof. Low income people have been decimated. And no I don’t have a “source”...it is via a local firefighter/emt I am friends with. And an ER nurse I’m friends with couldn’t be more thankful for the stay at home order, considering his role as a COVID screener. Anecdotal is anecdotal. Not fact. It’s extraordinary sad any time someone decides to take their own life, but how could your friend possibly know that any of those 14 suicides were directly related to COVID? It’s impossible to know for sure, just like it’s impossible to know how many actual deaths were prevented by the quarantine. We’ll never really know what the true positive/negative was.

Please remember to post links when citing data like this. Everyone deserves the ability to review the source materials.

How is it possible that Saenz is 38? Wow, how time has flown.

No, you haven't been denied anything that someone else has received. It's more than fair to question why the May tickets aren't being dealt with, but you're not being treated any differently than anyone else at this point. Pretty sure it has been previously stated in this thread, probably not even 2-3 pages back that people were calling and getting May refunds. On group tickets? But, fair enough if so. How does that policy compare to the other teams' policies?

Where on that page does it note how to get refunds? .....and after having to scroll down through 17 other stories first..... Seriously guys, has anyone FIRST HAND tried to get a refund from the Brewers and been unable to do so? Anyone? As previously noted, this is only an issue here. I don't know why some are making this a crusade on behalf of the fan base when it's not really an issue for nearly all of the fan base.
-
Curious how many teams you took the time to research/verify this statement for? I just looked at the Cubs' website, and I wasn't able to locate any sort of 'policy' under their ticket section that mentioned anything about refunds. Doesn't mean it's not there, just that it also wasn't 'easy to locate' like the Brewers are being criticized for here....
-
The downward trend is actually already there. They just need the p value to be less than .05% to show that the trend isn't a statistical anomaly (at 0.21% now).

The difference between Leskanic and the others is that Curtis actually had a couple of really nice years for the Brewers.

The issue hasn't been clarified or simplified. It was seemingly resolved, but the team continues to show old info (no refunds) on its site. My guess is that thousands of people still do not know about the refund and will be resigned to do what the old policy gives them options to do, or be forced to call the ticket office in search of a refund. The team could easily send money back via credit card to the fan for past games, but that isn't being done either. Are you personally effected by the perceived confusion? Seems like debating semantics to me. Most retailers, service providers, etc. will offer 'store credit', etc. first when things go bad or are returned, and if the customer asks, they'll give you your money back. Of course, the Brewers would prefer people who are baseball fans who bought tickets to baseball games to take a 'store credit' to allow the Brewers to give them tickets to other, future baseball games. For a lot of people, that's a perfectly acceptable ask. For those where it's not, they can pick up the phone, and by all accounts, get their money back. Did other teams handle it better? I'm sure some did. Did some handle it worse? I'd bet so as well. But unless people are legitimately unable to get their actual money back now two weeks after the policy was initially rolled out then changed, isn't the issue resolved? Arguing about the prominence of the location of a refund request form on the website, two weeks later, when you can pick up the phone seems odd to me.

I guess I should clarify- I'm having a hard time figuring out why this is being argued/debated two weeks after the issues has been clarified/resolved.....

I guess I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what exactly is being argued/debated here...

There's also possibly an issue of respondant bias as well. In a state where it's mandatory to be locked down, won't a lot of people say 'yeah, sure I quarantined at home' regardless of what their actual movement behavior was?
-
Do you have a link? I didn't have any luck with my quick googling.

The thing about the 'Safer' order is that even if the Court rules against it, I believe the case argument was that the legislature wanted control over the timing of the re-opening, rather than the executive branch. So it's likely that the Court would kick it to the legislature, who would need to develop a plan. I highly doubt that a ruling against it leads to an immediate opening of everything. There'll be a several-day lag, then it may even be a staggered reopening anyway.

Favre Allegedly Received Mississippi State Funds for Non-Appearances

Yeah, I've modified the title to reflect the topic itself, rather than a personal opinion. -
If they're a typical Facebook user, their friends list is likely made up of a combination of friends, parents, aunts & uncles, family friends, neighbors, coworkers, possibly grandparents, etc. Many of them may be older, many may have conditions like diabetes, are cancer survivors, etc. Shouldn't be too difficult for anyone to find a sampling of them that is in the 40-60% of people that have one of the risk factors associated with the more serious manifestation of the disease, regardless of your own age.
-
I’m just comparing the two loosely as the CDC is sir. Don’t know what to tell you. If you read the source material linked in that tweet, you'll note that they're ONLY comparing current hospitalization rates. Another key point from the material: Mortality attributed to COVID-19 decreased compared to last week but remains significantly elevated and may increase as additional death certificates are counted.
-
I'd bet they'd at least hear you out if you asked them to randomly choose 1-3 out of every 100 Facebook friends they have, then tell them that those people represent those that would have died without the social distancing measures.

Reports are that Rob Andringa is stopping chemo treatment and returning home for hospice. So terribly sad at just age 51.

Yeah, I was immediately convinced there had to be someone better than Weeks, then I quickly realized there probably isn't. -
Brewers All-Time Team: Top 3 Second Basemen
PeaveyFury replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'd guess I'd like to see some era-adjusted context for Gantner's numbers as others did for the Scott/Sexson numbers. Gantner's career BA was significantly higher than Weeks' career BA. -
It’s not really a choice. Do we want to trust private companies and maybe have some people get a flu-pneumonia like bug or do we want a food crisis? I’ll take the former. Trump ordered it in the name of continuing the food supply. Open the small businesses up too for that matter. JBS is nearly single-handedly responsible for the surge in WI cases that has prevented the second part of your statement from coming true much, much quicker.

Didn't Scott also win 5 consecutive Gold Gloves with Milwaukee?
