They only offered it when they wanted more games at the full prorated rate and no guarantee for playoffs. Funny how the players wanted to reap all guaranteed money but accept no risk for non-guaranteed money. Anyway that is not pertinamt to the current discussion on if Manfred comment will hurt or help the players chance at a grievance

Thats possible. However, I dont think that was a slip by Manfred. He was emphasizing the fact that 60 was the number of games the owners needed to make the season viable. The grievances should be interesting as will the next CBA discussions. I will be surprised if there isn't a work stoppage from one side or the other. Owners against Boras always plays in public and gets nasty.

agreed

I think there will be a number of players on the taxi squad that they do not expect to play in the MLB. Thompson, Dalquist and Kelley, will all be there i bet. I think they will be there to continue development rather than expect to play at the MLB.

I disagree. The owners made numerous proposals for more games but at a % of the salary that would equal about 55-58 games. The fact that they were consistent at the number of game that would make the season viable economically gives their position credence. Once the players absolutely refused to play for less than the full prorated pay, that's when the number of games was set.

No, because the March agreement was based on the renegotiation if the season was "economically feasible " depending on the fans in the seats. They stuck to this number of games based on the full prorated pay. This comment solidifies the fact that the owners determined this was the only way to make it economically feasible. Regardless if anyone wants to believe what was economically feasible, for negotiations they stuck to the same number the whole time.

Agreed. He was caught and suspended. Next.

It's more just the adderall, amphetamines or caffeine effect.

Yes. It's called microdosing. It wont build much muscle in this dose but acts more like amphetamines but leaves the system faster.

No. HgH can be taken in pill form. So gummies would work too.

Got it.

Take a look at the rivian truck. They are made in bloomington. Much more of the classic look.

Is this all news from 8 years ago or is there something new?

I thought they would do home games but not travel.

Gotcha. Sale does land a little more closed than crochet.

Agreed.

We dont have auto pollution standards. ?

He drops his arm down during the acceleration phase so he has to finish crossing his body. That really doesn't bother me as much as the lack of flexion of his trunk during the follow through as that puts all the stress on the shoulder to decelerate the arm.

I've seen articles about it. It probably isn't in all places throughout the nation but there are certain places more susceptible to it in general. I've seen the stats from the abuse as we just had mandatory reporter training and it had a special section on remote signs for it.

No doubt it needs to he controlled. I'm not suggesting just send 40,000 fans to every stadium. It needs to be done where things are doing well and at a slow pace.

I think in some areas where it has continued to decrease over the next month could have limited fans. If places are increasing I agree. There will be a second round because life eventually needs to start to return. It would just depend on if it's in the Fall or in the winter depending on the timeline. I'm not sure if prolonging a "lockdown" would eradicate it. It might decrease the severity but as I said earlier there are so many downsides to the lockdown as well that it needs to be taken into consideration as well.

in certain areas such as Texas where the virus is increasing, it may not be appropriate for fans. I'm sure all owners want it for at least some revenue

It all depends on if there is a 2nd lockdown. When the next wave hits, it will depend on the severity. However in the meantime at least people will get a mental uplift by being able to do somethings. That break will help some hopefully most. It's all about mitigating both the pandemic and the mental and abuse issues that are occurring because of it. People make light of it but I do think sports help in this regard.

No doubt. I'm not advocating just "return to normal." Just that it should slowly increase. Illinois seems to have finally done something right. We went on a trip to Colorado to pick up my daughter and there were hundreds of people at devils tower. I couldn't believe the number. Iowa and Colorado are allowing people in restaurants at a small capacity. It where Illinois is going I think.

It's not just that. It's also that we need to start being concerned with peoples mental health as well. The number of suicides and deaths due to overdoses as significantly increased. The domestic abuse incidents has skyrocketed. The reports of child abuse has decreased by nearly 70% on Illinois because no one is seeing the kids to report it. Think of the lifetime of damage being done to the people. I realize that the incidence of the virus will increase when things start to return to "more normal" vit there comes a time when it will do society as a whole more good to get out. I may be naive but I think sporting events will help with society's mental health. Most of the major sports are opening toward the end of July. Hopefully being able to go in small numbers will help people.
