that was on encarnacion, vaughn got it there and on a pretty easy hop to take care of.

lol was just about to say that Moncada's English had gotten really good but I guess they had Billy Russo's audio over Moncada talking.

zomg first gig in a white sox jersey experience. Gonna guess Grandal is a bit more generous with this strike zone.

well could have gone with Rodon/Lopez getting shelled but yes there is nice depth which for a sprint like this is valuable just in being able to throw really good arms into the mix for a bullpen day.

How dare you Dylan? How dare you do that!

Missed this, sounds like it was fun.

Ha, IDPH used to post at 2:30 on the dot, and they've started to go all over the place so I can't keep up.

Thanks. Thank you to the individuals volunteering for this, I was hoping challenge trials could be utilized. First I've seen of IDPH starting to change tune: https://twitter.com/IDPH/status/1283844960555462657?s=20

fast forward a month and we are all losing our minds at the scrappy KC team scraping by 2-1 wins against us.

were students trained in daycare in 1990 or something

meh, the thing about young teams is their performance is contagious. Seems like they can get stuck with everyone in slumps more often than vets, but then they can also all be on fire at the same time.

actually yeah this is the best point. Gotta feel pretty confident these pick-up games in schaumburg are better development.

Many college kids summer-nanny, but they would also be watching kids who have school and often have parents home. That's not that difficult.

That is ... weird? Maybe in person proctoring of exams ? I still think its just a sensible resource to tap. Many already have child-watching experience and connections to kids/families due to summer nanny jobs. Especially with the restrictions on au pairs.

They did it with players who have savings opportunities, Madrigal is really unlikely to be much more than a solid starting 2b and that is gonna be pretty easy to re-sign.

whoa what

It is still common. Full-day kindergarten is a district by district thing, basically doubles teacher costs compared to half-day.

Caulfield gonna blow your mind on this one - in America people hire individuals to come to their house and pay them hourly to watch their kids. They even do it with kids as young as 13 to come and watch their kids, and pay them $12-$18/hr. There was even a documentary on it: https://youtu.be/zBmEySbwGsk

I just can't imagine there will be that much savings in holding madrigal down. And with Keuchel, it may make sense to have a better 2b defensively.

Would be nice if there was a competent group that could make a program to take advantage of the college student population who is now taking online courses, and use them as a daycare resource. Create grants for the families to pay for it, students get grants for tuition, and Schools would be required to create schedule flexibility for these students in the program. Schools have easier time getting paid full tuition. childcare/stimulus/higher ed bailout.

I think my disappointment is that this seems actually more forgiving than what I thought was already on the books which was a move back to phase 3 (no indoor dining). But I do think this is trying to square an anticipated rise in cases with a group of politicians in western and southern Illinois that will litigate any statewide rulings - which could undermine things more.

Exceptional infield defense today.

So Pritzker just released an add-on to the original restore Illinois plan. https://www2.illinois.gov/Pages/news-item.aspx?ReleaseID=21818 - Increases number of regions to 11 - Creates snap-back triggers: If : - new cases increase for 7 straight days (or average increases 7 straight days), OR hits 8 % positivity rate in average And 1 of: - Hospital admissions increase 7 days or capacity hits critical threshold Then it graduates through a number of different things: - First thing to go is bar service and reduction in capacities. - Second thing is basically indoor dining and personal service - Third tier sounds basically like the California order Not that thrilled with this but they may figure with the constant undermining via lawsuits they had to go more regional. But things can get out of control quickly and I'd prefer the snapback happens at the state level to discourage travel from the hot spots.

so long as there is a runner on first for him to get his fielders choice (jkjk) ...
