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.

Meanwhile in a certain hospital ,did about 623 tests yesterday  and then could not do anymore. Ran out of tests. Next week should be a little better because of availability. . 

 

Maryland has only done 151 tests.  Compare that Maine which has less positives which have done 1335 tests.

I think the minors are still playing.

Where are you getting the test counts by states from?  I’ve been following the Hopkins’ tool for confirmed cases and deaths, but it doesn’t show tests conducted.

Still not enough tests. 

Sentara Healthcare system is temporarily closing its three drive-through testing sites in Hampton Roads on Wednesday, after two days, because its supply of tests is running low, officials said Wednesday.

The sites in Virginia Beach, Williamsburg and Chesapeake are set to close at 2 p.m.

The health care system on Monday launched the screening and testing sites outside its facilities in Hampton Roads, the center of a small coronavirus outbreak, including the only deaths in the region.

A spokeswoman could not immediately say how many tests were conducted before the suspension.

This from CNN:

Quote

 

The contrast between regular Americans' struggle to get tested and the NBA's capacity to test entire teams regardless of symptoms set off a mix of frustration and resentment toward the elite, best encapsulated in a tweet from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

"We wish them a speedy recovery," de Blasio tweeted. "But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested. Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick."

 

'Bout sums it up IMO.

      Oh, I thought he was talking about the rotation right now.

      Would the Orioles consider Trevor Bauer ?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      No. Better yet ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!  We do we need to take on anything associated with him or take on that kind of pr hit and risk? I hope he gets a shot at redemption … somewhere else. Why can’t we just acquire/trade for a current MLB pitcher who is already good and doesn’t come with baggage? Is that too much to ask?

      My big issue with him besides the zero defensive value is he's batting .227 and has only 5 doubles which tells me he's probably a mistake hitter. That's a big red flag for me as well when I look at stats, especially lower level guys. Guys with decent home run numbers and low 2B numbers typically are guys who feast on those middle-middle pitches, but are not making consistent hard contact to get those 2B numbers up. Now I'm going off memory here and haven't really watched him a ton this year running, but he's pretty dang slow from what I remember. So now we have a short, slow, 1B/DH who has some ability to make decent swing decisions on Low-A hitters, but hits for a low average and doesn't show a lot of extra base power. So is he a guy that you perhaps follow to see if he's a guy that develops more game power and allows his bat to carry him up the chain? Perhaps. But I just don't know what he would be in the majors besides a right-handed DH if he develops more power. How many are those are now in the game? I mean, perhaps his absolute upside is a Yermín Mercedes type, but I imagine if he is a late bloomer guy who suddenly starts to rake at the upper levels, it will probably be for his 2nd or 3rd organization as those guys typically bounce around.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      Thanks for sharing all of the formula / data prospect trackers, I don’t have the patience to follow them on Twitter so I appreciate the updates here. I do put value in that when projecting offense and they do have data that we don’t have.  RZNJ and Tony have a good point that the robo scout types are generally not going to consider defense (at least not fully), and as everyone knows that’s a massive difference in value for C v. 1B/DH. So for Mordan I’d only really put weight on the robo scout if it said he was a good prospect even as solely a 1B, and I’m guessing he’s not.  I am curious to track development of C like Willems and Mordan because I think any C in the system behind Basallo are prime trade chips. If Mordan has good offensive data but bad defense, seems like a nice guy to try to sell another team on at the trade deadline.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      I am curious to see what happens with the Astros and Verlander.  Looks like they may be heating up making it irrelevant but if they end up being a seller and he shows he is healthy before the deadline I think Verlander is the guy Elias targets.  I think with our new ownership and low payroll no reason we cannot take on the remainder of that contract and he could be the perfect replacement for Bradish.
