I think if the concerns over the virus continue into the summer you will probably see significantly decreased attendance.

The Olympic Committe is considering cancelling the Olympics so this isnt really idle banter at this point.

Given the cheating scandal and possible coronavirus concerns I think you might see a significant bad turn for baseball.

I wish I was the one that was wrong.

Really the flu shot is not a personal issue.  Young infants cannot get the flu shot. When you get the flu shot you prevent the spread of the disease in the community thus protecting infants from death

I think you are just a stupid person, not alarmist.

You have to wonder about something that iron fisted China can't keep in check. Maybe start to stock up on some canned goods and bottled water just in case. You know just a little beyond the norm when you go to the market the next time.

So far I have made just one significant change.   About once a month, I take $200 and go to the casino (either MD Live or Horseshoe).   Sometimes I lose it, sometimes I win, sometimes I break even.   My favorite table game is pai gow poker.   50-60% of the players at the pai gow tables are of Asian descent, mostly Chinese, as are a good # of the dealers.

You are all handling the same cards (2 decks in play, one is in the auto-shuffler while the other is being dealt out).   And of course was you win you get chips handed to you and taken away wh en you lose and they go back in the dealer's chip tray until they get handed to someone else who wins a hand.   And if the table is full, the 7 players are bunched pretty closely together.

I have not gone to a casino since Jan 11 and probalby will not be in the forseeable future.   Just too high a chance someone at the table knows someone who has visited China recently

Looks like an Israeli company has developed a test, hope it can be mass produced quickly.

We would have enough kits but the ones we have are not reliable.

New York City and New York State are developing their own tests to detect the coronavirus amid issues with a test developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Buzzfeed News reported. 

Earlier this month, the CDC released a genetic test in the US for the virus, which was sent to approximately 100 state and city labs, in addition to overseas sites. However, the test’s results were proven unreliable, and fewer than a dozen labs produced definite results, according to the report.

I have come around to not stopping the season and allowing fans at all games.  It isn't so deadly for people under 50.   And it is probably more widespread than people think.  I think it is inevitable that this is spread widely before a vaccine is created.  We can't hide for 18 months until the vaccine comes out.

That's okay.  I'll take what Buzzfeed says with less than a grain of salt.

Don't worry.  Dr. McCoy is on the case.

The Olympic said they have a 3 month window to make a decision about the summer games.

      Povich, McDermott, Young and Tavera in AAA. Johnson, Bright, Brnovich, Weston pitching well in AA. The upper minors pitching prospects look a lot deeper now than they have in recent years. With all the interesting upper minors arms comes impending 40-man decisions, and also more depth to deal from ahead of the deadline - hopefully enough to be able to steer trade partners away from the best few names when we need to add pitchers as secondary pieces to a deal. Johnson is definitely a potential trade candidate if they are trying to keep Povich/McDermott/De Leon out of a deal, if he pitches well the next couple months he could easily be the next best pitching prospect in the system. Of course would like to hold onto everybody, but we’re going to make some kind of trade and teams always look for pitching back.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Say O! · Posted

      His whiff% is 29% (same as last season, but below his 35% level in 2021-2022).  Taking a closer look at his pitches on baseball savant, both his cutter and curveball are generating 10% less whiff% than those dominant 2021-2022 seasons.  Note that velo and spin metrics seem very similar. A couple hypothesis on lack of swing/miss this season 1.  Hitters really don’t seem to expand the zone against him.  Particularly low/away where Burnes works location wise.  Hitters are not chasing there.  Palmer wants Burnes to occasionally work inside more just to vary hitter eye and expecations.  Additionally, I think mixing in a two seamer that starts off the plate then works backdoor to get the outside strike may start getting hitters to actually swing vs just take the outside pitch (when Burnes cutter and slider start outside and go further outside). 2.  From watching the games this year, it does seem that Burnes has been slightly missing his spot, particularly with his cutter.  In prior seasons, I got the impression that Burnes would paint the corners, whereas he has been missing by a couple inches. His BB rate and BB/9 is up slightly.  I think being in the zone more may get hitters to swing more, whereas it sure does seem that hitters have a higher amount of takes on pitches just out of the zone against Burnes.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Yea I disagree.  It’s not like we are taking on a long term deal for 50+ million or something like that. The deal I suggested would be one we should run to the phone to accept…but I personally doubt Miami would be that dumb.
