Chicago White Sox

Illinois is the 5th most populated state in the U.S. with a major international airport that I’m sure isn’t helping matters. Also, in terms of total cases Illinois is actually the 7th highest and only the 12th highest over the last 7th days. Relative to their population size, the data says Illinois is doing a pretty good job. And I just spent a week in the Chicago suburbs and it’s night & day how how much more seriously this is being taken than in Nashville and other southern areas I’ve been to recently.

Didn’t he just say or simply imply his arm his heathy?

If he’s asymptomatic, I would hope he’s ready to go after his 14 day quarantine period or whatever that is.

But why not report both players at that time, unless Cuthbert is the other positive.

But did Kopech ever show up for an intake exam? He may very well have COVID, but it seems like his absence was called out before the team reported these two initial positives.

Hahn said he’s having issues getting into the country.

Why in the world is Moncada hanging out in NW Indiana?

Got to get him ready for the season!

The fact he’s three years younger, is already a higher regarded prospect, and has a legit super-star type ceiling. I really like Madrigal and he gives us a skillset we really need, but Kelenic has a chance to be the guy we all look back on in that draft and wonder why we passed on him.

It’s not that crazy of a take to say we should of drafted Kelenic over Madrigal with the benefit of hindsight. And that doesn’t mean Madrigal is a bad pick, it’s just saying we probably didn’t draft the best player that was available to us at #4.

That’s why I posted his follow up tweet as it directly conflicts with his “lost the will to play” tweet from earlier. Glad to see this dude has a history of bullshit.

That tweet is almost certainly bullshit. This user claimed that Kopech had lost the will to play in a previous tweet and now is saying Kopech’s GF is pregnant and that’s why he’s going to sit out. It’s 99.9% likely this user is simply trolling.

And here’s what he’s saying now. The dude is full of shit.

100% this.

Yeah I’m done here, if you honestly can’t see the difference here then no point in me wasting my time.

Come on dude, calling a team the “Indians” is completely different than calling a team the “Asians”. Not saying it’s an acceptable name or not, but you’re completely ignoring all the context here.

That’s a really bad list. Kyle Schwarber over Nelson Cruz? Encarnacion ranked 11th, but Miguel Cabrera ranked top 6?

30 man rosters only have last two weeks.

100% agree with everything you posted here.

Whether people who work at food processing plants and at other essential services are making a fair wage is a completely different argument of whether they are critical during a pandemic. I’d love to see an improved quality of living for those at the bottom of the pay spectrum. The wealth balance in this country is beyond horrific and it desperately needs to change. I just don’t think companies are inherently evil because they don’t want to go under.

100% we should have done better and that falls on our government. Without a strict mandate to wear masks & social distance, too large of the population wasn’t going to follow through. And allowing the states to open up at the very first signs of improvement has completely fucked us. I can’t really speak on what companies have done to make working conditions safer other than my own. But I can assure you we have taken significant financial hits to ensure the safety of our workforce and so far those measures have been effective. That being said, I fully expect by the fall that things will be so bad that further shut-downs will be needed to keep teammates safe, which our company will do so proactively despite the financial implications. Again, I can’t speak to others that may not be taking care of their teammates who have to work through this shit and am definitely not giving my company a free pass for everything here as there are other things I think they’ve done poorly through this crisis.

Thank you, this is all I was trying to argue.

For 100% of their customer volume?

Who is we?

I guess I don’t get what you mean by this. Are you referring to people going to the grocery store? I get forcing curbside pickup / deliveries would be helpful to slow down the virus, but is the infrastructure in place for that to be a reality? I know you’re a money be damned kind of guy, but that’s a seismic change for that industry and I’m not sure it’s one easily executable. Have other countries that have been successful at slowing down the virus stopped grocery store visits altogether?
