I think some posters on this board think some of these people like Hector as littlefinger, plotting every move and just giving us one more crumb to figure out the puzzle when really their just smashin that retweet when it feels good.

44000 doses were reported administered yesterday. If we could hit 44k/day we'd be at a 30k/day 7 day average even with no weekends. The most interesting numbers this week will be how bad the weekend dropoffs are with the new stations.

Dude also did it during one of the most brutal offensive eras in modern baseball. It's so sad when this happens, realizing a guy that went through it all can't come on tv for an interview one last time. So nice knowing we can hear their stories.

I appreciate everything the BA guys did for this list. I've really moved to 1) Keith Law and then 2) BA for my prospect info (non-sox specific, FS #1!). But I really think you could throw out the rankings for this one. The midseason update is going to be the most interesting one in years, and should probably shake this one on its head. This list is really 1) did we get to see and verify any of these players make strides in instructs or 2) do we happen to know anything that should cause X player to drop from 2 years ago? There is going to be so much learned at that A / A+ level.

I think this is true but man if I was a player and I had a deal anywhere close to my target I'd probably take it given the horrible relationship between the MLBPA and owners right now.

Yesterday 123 people died of COVID in Illinois, as it opens up more and more regions despite the new strain. On the other hand, I used Grubhub, a company started in Chicago, to deliver wings. So, I don't know, I guess it's actually a great day.

I was hoping you were trolling instead of something this reductionist. Criticizing the US governmental response to the coronavirus should not need to be paired with a compliment of general US governance. It is actually a good thing that US citizens should expect the best from their government, and not stare failure in the face and say "well, on the other hand I enjoy my local creek". Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries in the world with wonderful food, incredibly generous people and great street fashion. Its governmental response to COVID was genuinely extraordinary. Would I rather be a Vietnamese citizen instead of an American? No. Would I rather the Vietnam government instead of the US government? No. Nobody here would. And nobody in this thread for months felt a need to bring in these statements because it really isn't relevant or necessary to couch criticism of the government's COVID with perspective that not everything ever is also bad. That is until you showed up with this argument. So let us all welcome tex775.

Mainly this is a covid brain issue not knowing what day it is but I am just kinda pumped to watch Lamelo and get Williams back. When did they play rockets? Monday? Did a game get canceled?

He’s a 41 year old DH on a team that has multiple candidates to fill it. That’s an incredibly likely white Sox scenario.

I was paranoid brewers would get back McClure in the deal and he’d turn into another trash heap star for them

Same. Probably part of it is if he goes bad while on Sox you’d be like “oh yeah maybe don’t trade for guys that throw 4 mph”

Hector is a real offseason character

clearly I thought there was a game tonight. What a bummer!

I am trying to maintain my expectations for May, which seems very plausible. Now among my brothers and their wives, now 3/8 have received at least dose 1.

Man J&J is getting pre-hyped, and I worry that something in the 70% range will get higher scrutiny a la astrozaneca. Next week is going to be so huge.

I hope it doesn't end up where the university of missouri hired a better DC candidate than the bears. OTOH I would not take the bears job unless it was my last shot. You already saw how it will be the first scapegoat of the entire org.

congratulations on taking over greg's role, we really needed that being replaced.

he's not talking about cash outlays.

That's what he's talking about. Someone was throwing out a 3 for 120 deal for Bauer, and he pointed out that it would actually push sox into luxury tax trouble.

I am excited to watch a bulls game.

You are right, sorry, I was going off memory. They do have some threads they could pull, but you are right, a lump contract like that is a bigger obstacle than I realized. Plus I wonder if the new CBA won't tighten things more.

You are like the character in a horror movie that keeps calling out to evil spirits as a joke and then they show up.

hey to be fair someone posted his tweet and they were asking who it was, had nothing to do with food accounts.

I think it's closer to like $145 but there's so much confusing variation here. Spotrac has sox $8 mill less than I and roster resource have them, but it has their Lux tax at 140, so I don't know whether to pay attention to theirs.

lol maybe but it started because the als cheesy beef account retweeted a bunch of corbin burnes hype videos that were old so I figured something could be up there. Then homeboy @Orlando found the reddit thread.
