WBC game threads and catch-all
now it appears the formula they've been showing all game was slightly off and 6-2 still advances for Korea runner advanced to third on weidest error SS tried to stop his throw and dumped it right into the ground and runner eventually scored on a sac fly 7-2 now going to be a nervous ninth if Australia needs just 1 or two runs but then they score too many and Chinese Taipei could go weird tiebreaker

White Sox lawsuit.
"Unfortunately, public health ethics is often reduced to a utilitarian ethic that justifies intervention or imposes behavioral modification at the infringement of personal rights and values based on the greater good, often at the detriment or upon the backs of the most vulnerable. Public health, vis-à-vis local health departments, implements evidence-based interventions with a concern for social justice to achieve health equity. Public health maintains a duty to the community to address health concerns that individuals cannot solve and that require collective action." There's no collective agreement on what percentage of people being affected by side effects and the severity of those impacts constitutes a significant enough group (1-2%? 3-5% etc.) to overrule/negate the overall social benefits of that policy that I have ever seen consistently applied. Seems it's always on a case by case basis.

3-0 Korea over Australia and threatening for more 4-0 now through three Korean at-bats have to win by at least 5 runs and can't give up more than 2....or Taipei would end up going to next round Bazzana 2/15 one homer but hasn't looked good since very susceptible to off speed stuff 6-1 going to 7th if score holds up Korea advances 1B/DH Go Byeong Moon two homers 11 rbis sets record for pool play over Arozarena Dunning just pitcher out of 1st 2nd no outs gidp K gave up key 2 run homer to Stuart Fairchild late to put Chinese Taipei up in last game

“Insane” sure… You must have missed every season from 2001 through 2020 and then 22 23 24 when the Twins absolutely owned the Sox. Except 2005/08… thanks to the Hahn kid White Out playoff coin toss win. And 2021. Shocked you don't want to take credit for Getz picking the exactly right player to target in trade for once.

Wade is AAAA filler… Kelinic has to prove he can do it consistently during the like real regular season games for once.

Certainly a ”hot takel" around here is that a #10 drafted high schooler is on his way to Low A ball...and not AZ Complex ball. You'd be hard pressed to find many that weren't so similarly advanced, except players who were hurt their draft year or signed really really late. If it was such a pressing issue to big league teams, they wouldn't have dumped so many rookie league and A level minor league teams, me thinks.

"South Korea-Japan WBC Clash Achieves 16.5% Combined Viewership, MBC Dominates for Second Consecutive Game"...that's for Korea The Japanese tv ratings are going to be insane when announced. Sat prime time vs. 5-8 a.m starts for the World Series last year. Australia as well, for last night as well as this Monday night vs. Korea.

Getz does actually realize Acuna's a switch hitter now? Am I paid $750k like he is?

Yeah cute how he's not currently in high school. Fine I misread that someone wanted him in Winston Salem because a number of posters wanted Braden Anderson moved up all the way to Chicago last year. First round draft picks from high school level 90-95% of time are in low A the following year.

Name the last White Sox position player drafted from high school who debuted the next season in High A???? I dare you. Especially ones with questions about eventual big league hitting ability.

You don't put high schoolers in High A ball. At least not to start the season.

Dan Hayes was the original reporter. How would the Twins' beat reporter name an actual top prospect in that system without solid inside information? Well I guess we helped the Twins letting Thome go...since Ozzie preferred the rotating DH/Kotsay. Then you have Ishbia abandoning Twins for Sox. Bad blood.
