What are today's roster moves? I am imagining Boyd to the IL to clear the way for Manning, but which IL? How do they clear room on the 40 for Manning? Is Vest IL'ed, and if so who replaces him? If it is Brieske or Wingenter, how do they clear room on the 40 there? Could they get creative and bring somebody like Lipcius or Solak up and DFA Schoop?

Yeah, Malone's name was one of ten on an early paper in the late 80's, but he was nowhere near the lead on that paper and punched out of the industry before they unlocked the advances that made mRNA usable/safe in humans.

If getting one thing wrong is enough to discredit somebody, I can play that game with literally anybody on the antivax side. Joe Rogan, 5/14/21 claimed the COVID vaccine has microchips. https://www.mediamatters.org/joe-rogan-experience/spotifys-joe-rogan-falsely-claims-actual-microchips-are-being-injected-your Any time Robert Malone claims to be the inventor of mRNA vaccine technology, he is lying or exaggerating. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/11/tucker-carlson-spreads-an-already-debunked-claim-about-covid-deaths/

Here's Toledo's lineups (from my sheet) the last few weeks for reference

But as for Toledo lineups, Joe Rizzo has been playing a lot of 2B and 3B, so I could see him getting reduced PT or 1B time. Lipcius and JHM a bit more in the outfield (JHM has been playing out there most days anyways lately). Maybe get Maton some shortstop time. It always works out.

The upcoming 40 man clearing that will be needed for Manning, Brieske, Wingenter, and Skubal may make Schoop a logical 40-man casualty with somebody from the Toledo logjam being a logical backfill.

Keith to Toledo

That is one. The other theory is a lot of re-org and consolidation that decreased ingredient quality.

Okay, I have noticed restaurant food has gone downhill since 2020. I didn't have a confirmed case until August 2022 (after four shots), so noticed this before then. I have some theories, but one is that I just improved my cooking quite a bit in that time such that spending money on restaurant food is a complete waste.

If you don't know this by now, none of the thousands of links we can send you from credible scientific sources will do the trick when you will believe Robert Malone and his ilk over them. But anyways... https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccine-effectiveness

So... May we be approaching an answer to the thread title?

All he does is project, so this tracks.

Crazies will be divided between Trump and Ronnie. If Dems are more worried about the health of our nation than winning elections (Yes, I know they are definitely not mutually exclusive now), they will load up in the Republican Primary and vote for the candidate in the sane lane.

What was your favorite moment of the Seth Elledge era?

My pie-in-the-sky hope is that the field can be so divided that it ends up being a reverse of 2016 and the sane candidate is able to be one of five and rack up delegates with 20% of the vote. Moderates from states with open primaries can do their part. I plan on registering with them early next year so I can try to strategically vote for the sanest one possible and maybe keep this party from running our country off a cliff.

Danny Serretti to Erie...

I still do

Even in the NFL draft, aside from like QB, positional need doesn't matter. If you go back to drafts 5-10 years ago and consider them a win, do you think "Man, we really plugged that hole at linebacker" or do you think "Wow, that was a great player we got in the 5th round." Ditto, MLB Draft, but even moreso.

The ignore feature falls apart when people quote the ignored member. Sorry to people who ignore Lee.

Not entirely true. Hicks was signed that morning/afternoon. Greene was injured that night, and Marisnick was acquired that night as well but really to add some depth because Vierling was hurt.

Yoenis Cespedes, Miguel Cabrera, Placido Polanco, Omar Infante. Do we count Jeimer? Delmon Young, Cam Maybin in 2016 for Ian Krol, Johnny Peralta, Gary Sheffield, Carlos Pena,

And the fact that he... you know... cooperated. I'm sure Smith would make a deal with Trump.

Chaz, don't you work in Chicago? If somebody is early, is that just a sign they planned on traffic and it didn't happen? A former boss of mine used to comment I was always right on time for meetings. I don't know if it was a complement or an observation, but it is my goal to maximize my time and other's times. For my barber, I like to show up early. Usually I'm his last appointment so I'm actually trying to help him out if he has a gap before me and can end his day sooner. If not, I can knock out Wordle or catch up on the day's news in the waiting area.

The Tigers retweeted some hype thing about Mike Rothenberg hitting three hrs today in the complex league. At 24, two years after being drafted from college, he should be hitting at least that per game.
