Look at Ray Ray Run

Bistko >>>>>>>>>>> Abel too I'd rather have the one extra year of development under my control. Bistko being really young is a huge advantage.

You couldn't pay me the draft slot to draft a high school right SP in the first round.

Agree; we've had talks about how top heavy he is, his lack of extension and the strain it puts on his arm - being all arm. That said, he could have possibly survived that if he didn't throw 132! innings in 19 starts while striking out or walking more than half his batters. He had games where he threw 130+ pitches. This after a freshman year where he was driven into the ground to close the season out. Avent should have been fired for how he handled Rodon, and yet he's still there.

It's a weird year, as you said, and there weren't a lot of reps to go off of. I'm all in for Howard but 0% chance the Sox draft him, and they'll miss out on a kid who becomes a star right under their own noses.

Rodon has injury issues because he's was ran into the ground in college by his coach.

I want Ed Howard and I couldn't care less if it's considered a reach; Howard is going to be a super star in the major leagues. There's so much risk to drafting a northern high schooler this year - they're so far behind on reps with the corona hurting even more - but Howard has been the guy at every level and is dedicated and will be a star. I'm all in, but the Sox will pass I'm sure and go with a pitcher who likely profiles as a reliever. Jaysus. Edit: Howard has been the best short stop in the country for his age group for 10 years it feels like. The Kid has not peaked in anyway, and is only getting stronger.

The only thing Torkelson has better tool wise is raw power.

Some believe Torkelson can hold it down in LF; that's really the difference between the two. Vaughn is a better hitter; don't care what anyone says. Keith Law said Vaughn was a MUCH better hitter; I'm not sure I'll say that, but Vaughn is better.

Don't let Jerksticks see this. No way 50% of population hasn't gotten it!

Yeah, and Nikki Haley had the audacity to say states should be forced to go bankrupt. The former governor of SC.

No, because their leaders arent fragile petty toddlers.

If you cannot protect your nation's most vulnerable, then the system is broken entirely and needs to be fixed. The answer is not to send everyone back to work under the same conditions and pretend nothing happened. You have a president talking about not wanting to help Illinois and New York because they're democratic! What the fvck. Illinois and New York pay more money into the federal government than they receive back.. you know who doesnt? All the southern states trump loves. So trump threatens to not help and bailout the states that have been bailing out and subsidizing the southern states for generations. Thousands of people are dying a day and the president is attacking politicians and threatening not to help.... and 35% of the population is cheering him on as hundred thousand+ dead americans had their lives cut short. What a sad and embarrassing thing to see... I'm embarrassed for the selfish nature of so many people. I hope one day you're not a part of one of the groups whose lives have been deemed expendable.

The only thing you have in life is your fucking life. This whole trade off for the greater good by saving the economy is fucking laughable. Money is not real. Economies are artificial. We are on this planet to do one thing - live. Why you think you, or any government entity, has the right to deprive someone of the most basic right and opportunity is laughable and embarrassing. The rich in this country has only gotten richer in this pandemic and you think people should make sacrifices to assure their wealth continues to grow at the trade of being human life? What a joke.

this is pure nonsense. No one is saying stay home so no one gets it. havent met a single health care professional from a legit hospital say this was overblown.

Your brother is a nurse in Chicago and is saying it's not a big deal? Lol what? My best friends wife is the lead nurse at Gottlieb and theyve been getting destroyed by corona for 6+ weeks. Lots of people dying. Draining and demoralizing shifts. No idea where your brother is a nurse but it must not be a major hospital network in Chicago because theyve been taxed even if not as bad as worst case thought

What will opening up places do at 25-50% capacity do if rent and fixed costs remain the same for businesses? Service.Entertainment/Hospitality industry is operating on micro margins as is from 6-12%. You cut revenues in half and there's no profits to be made. People aren't going out; large gatherings aren't allowed. You can "reopen" but that will just hurt businesses by voiding any assistance they may have been eligible for. It's a tricky situation all around. States are reopening because they're going broke. There is no income. unemployment is at record highs and a lot of businesses furloughed people; in some states, that puts the state on the hook. By "reopening" if workers don't return to work if offered, many lose eligibility for Unemployment. If they do return and have to get laid off later, now the company/insurance company is on the hook. States can't operate at losses; in many state constitutions it is against the law. With no federal support for states, they are getting desperate in poor states that are already subsidized by the feds. Say what you will about Illinois, it's broke and dumb but for every dollar it gives to the feds it only gets .70 cents back; which is among the lowest in the nation. SC and Georgia are getting 3-5 to one on the dollars they put into the federal pool.

You spew nonsense and fake BS endlessly - you have since this thread started. You are not rooting for good news; you're lying and creating your own narrative and set of facts. You've done it this entire thread.

Testing is pointless? What? Well, if that isn't one of the dumbest things I've read in a while.

What?

The funny thing about jerksticks is he acts like shutting down is something we "want" to do. I dont want to be shutdown. As many have I'm sure, I've lost a lot in the shutdown. It sucks. But why should my materialistic things be more important and valuable than an actual human life? What is wrong with the selfish nature of so many. My goodness. When you see things bad happen to people and say it's not me and turn a blind eye, you're merely kicking the can down the road. Do that enough times and you'll be the one getting hit by a car.

The correct way you mean?

When the input data lacks integrity - as the covid data does - the variance from model to model is going to be massive given the huge amount of assumptions being made by every modeler in the world.

I've read this a few times online and just want to say that there is no way Trump could maintain office without holding an election. If the election was postponed or delayed for any reason, Nancy Pelosi would become the President until a proper election can be held. That is how the Constitution has it written. The only way - so I guess I shouldn't say no way - is for Trump to literally overthrow the government and military in a coup.

NYC Morgues are already overwhelmed though... NYT did a piece on this yesterday. Thousands of people are dying every single day right now in the US from this which taxes all systems. Start laxing distancing and it spikes again

They're stabilizing because they're shut down....
