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.

Haven't heard a word out of the NFL yet.

They don't have anything to deal with until the draft in Las Vegas in late April.

Free agency can pretty much go on, perhaps with less meeting in person between players and prospective teams.

Prep for the draft will be more film based and less about going to team's Pro Days and watching the players work out.

Actually, the XFL is the only league with major (10000+) crowds that is going on right now in the US that hasn't made an announcement.

You do know that bacteria and viruses are transmitted in ways beyond direct physical contact, right?

You do know that keeping a locker room clean addresses that problem? You don’t just keep yourself clean, you keep surfaces clean. I’m not saying that this isn’t a problem, and I’m not saying we don’t need to be vigilant, but I am saying That this is a drastic step, and then should be only taken if absolutely necessary.

The Dragons and Wildcats will not be able to play home games with any crowds.  I'm thinking a decision will come within the next day. 

Sucks because I really was hoping the XFL would survive.  The response seemed more positive than the AAF though and they were just really unlucky so McMahon may give it another shot next year.

What is college baseball doing? With campuses shutting down and replaced by distance learning are teams still going to play? Will MLB go into draft with fresh data or go by 2019 info?

A few conferences (Ivy, Patriot) have already shut down all spring sports.   I expect others to follow suit but it hasn't happened yet.

Interestingly Virginia Tech made an announcement yesterday where they extended spring break a week and then the entire remainder of the school year will be online instruction only.   And they cancelled a host of upcoming events between now and April 30 -- Ring Dance, Parents Weekend, Black Alumni Reunion Weekend, the 3.2K race in commemoration of the 32 people who were murdered on 4/17/07, etc.   But they didn't cancel any athletic events yet, including the spring football game which usually draws 30,000-40,000 people.   I assume that is just because the academic administration cancelled all those other events and left it to the Athletic Department to deal with the sporting events.   But I would be utterly shocked if the Spring Game is held (at least with fans).

Stay safe. You are front line man. 

The line has gotten me. I just got a positive strep test. At least that's ALL it is and I can stay home until Friday night, and right back out there.

      2023 vs 2024 Player WAR & 2025 Opportunities

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
