Hogan to close all non-essential businesses in Maryland at 5PM today.  As I said I saw tons of people going to outdoor shops, gardening, bookstores, and bike shops yesterday just on  a short drive yesterday.  I am not sure why people can't understand the need to avoid doing this.

I picked the wrong week to give up snorting cocaine!

Im the opposite. Home all day means unfettered grazing and beer drinking. Instead of the Freshman 15 I’m just calling it the Covid 19.

Why were you out?  You were using up all of the good air.

I drove to empty parking lot so my daughter could work on her bike riding.  A lot of closed businesses so easy to find one with no people anywhere near.  I jogged behind her while she rode her bike.  Good exercise for both of us.

You make it so easy.  You set dial to either 11 or -1 on every single solitary issue.

This is an 11 situation.  I mean how hard is it to not see that?  Stay away from people that you don't live with. How hard is that?

so obviously the words of Gov Hogan to stay home, unless essential went through your ears and didnt pause to reflect on what they meant.

The order says not to go to work unless you are in an essential business. The first sentence says it is not "shelter in place" and the whole thing is about which workplaces are closed. Does not say you need to be shut in your house 24/7. Even in SF and NYC you are allowed to get exercise and go to the grocery store.

I am more close to people in my own back yard than a huge empty parking lot.  You need exercise to stay healthy.  I haven't been around someone outside my immediate family since last Monday night when I went grocery shopping at 11:30 PM and self-checked out.

I watched the movie "Teacher of the Year" which is a mockumentary last night.  This is a sequence of lines in the movie when the math teacher is being interviewed by the film crew:

"That is so cool. I mean... ... It's like... It's like we're... ...It's like Spinal Tap or something. It's like we're just teaching and you... ...guys are filming. It's a little creepy, but... I take my teaching, and I turn it up to 11. To 11. I was never really good at accents, but... Eleven... No? You don't know Spinal Tap? Wow."

Paul Schaffer has a show on the AXIS channel called Paul Schaffer +1 where he sits at a piano and has a musical guest, and just talks about the history and creation of the guest's songs and his influences, etc.   For example  he had Donald Fagen of Steely Dan on recently.   The guest will sing parts of their songs and/or play the guitar and Paul will accompany on the piano.   And they'll discuss the influences and history of the artist.   Good show, I highly recommend it.   I don't know if it's on demand or not, but if your cable system includes AXIS, look it up.

Anyway, a recent episode had Harry Shearer on it, fully in the character of Derek Smalls, talking about the evolution of Spinal Tap as if it was a real band, going all the way back to Listen to the Flower People.   It was really fun.

Makes sense to me. Enjoy the learning to bike phase...mine was afraid so it took a while but man that look of joy when they get it is great. She just kept saying how much more fun it was than she thought it would be. Sure beats staring at the TV.

Yes, but aren't they all?

For him, they certainly are... looking at data recently, the cases in New York - the new epicenter - have dropped drammatically.

Yesterday, there were 20,875 cases, up 5,085 from the previous day.  That is a 32% increase.  This morning, there was an increase of 2,355 cases, bringing NY's total to 23,230.  That is only an 11% increase.  Now of course I don't want any new cases, but since atomic likes to be realistic, the realistic thing is that there will never be 100% eradication of any virus.  Treatments are being found and are working - I believe we are approaching the peak and will see a drastic slide in cases as we enter April.

      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.
