COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-wuhan-lab-leak-theory/ "It's impossible to tell whether that last bit of evolution took place in a laboratory or whether it took place in nature," Stanford professor and microbiologist David Relman told CBS News' Catherine Herridge. Relman is no stranger to complex cases. When Anthrax was sent through the mail in 2001, Relman reviewed the science underpinning the FBI probe. Now, he's advising the government on the science behind the pandemic's origins. He told CBS News that the lab-leak hypotheses are "absolutely legitimate" and are "plausible." Relman said the Wuhan lab housed a vast library of bat coronaviruses, including specimens from the caves. "They weren't just studying these viruses. They were actually collecting samples from nature in the largest number with the greatest diversity of almost any place on the planet," he said. __________ Standford professor says those hypotheses are absolutely legitimate and plausible. Here's an idea - let's have an open mind and play devil's advocate more often, instead of just passing off opposing viewpoints as conspiracies.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
Remember when everybody was going with the wet market theory despite a lack of evidence? They weren't removing those videos and banning users that floated that theory. All I'm saying is you can't dismiss the possibility of a lab leak. Nobody knows at this point. The point was that media corporations were controlling the narrative, when in reality nobody knows how it occurred. Sorry to upset you.

I do find it interesting that YouTube and twitter were removing videos that suggested covid started from a lab leak (accidental or not). After Jon Stewart went on Colbert's show and floated the possibility, I'm guessing they aren't removing those videos now.

Let's be real, everybody knows there is more leniency on that rule here if you're ripping the right or saying orange man bad.

Fangraphs Farm System Rankings (7/9/21)
Can't you say the same about most organizations after the draft? I'd imagine our ranking didn't change much.

More Moncada hot takez
I love that he's capable of playing top notch defense. While he doesn't swipe a lot of bags, his elite speed is an awesome asset and contributes to his high WAR. High OBP, speedy and GG defense. I have faith he'll find his HR stroke again at some point. On reason they'd decline his option is some type of massive injury or scandal.

Is it time to give TLR his due? And maybe some apologies?
@Greg Hibbard why you don't shut your damn pie hole and stick to the thread at hand?

Wow, so now Tony is forcing his coaching staff to do things they are totally uncomfortable with? Truly disgusting. Poor Joe McEwing. This is the last straw. Tony must go.
