I actually reached out to Lynn Henning a few weeks ago out of curiosity for some ethics issues. A Purdue basketball beat writer is having brain surgery for a tumor next month. There was a gofundme out there, and Matt Painter donated $5K to the gofundme. To me, that seemed like a potential ethics issue, even though the reporter and Painter are above reproach IMO. Henning said his paper would probably reassign the reporter to another beat after recovery to avoid any conflicts of interest. The above crosses a bigger line, imo.

Yeah, in my case it is a short cut to see if we can use load spectra for adjacent finite elements for fatigue life predictions. Without a crazy high R^2, it's no good.

R^2 depends on the context... In the context we use in my line of work, .9-.95 is the general threshold for the specific application.

Similar to Moustakas. Don't claim him, but may as well bring him in on a minor league deal.

Lueke was the first person to block me on Twitter. For a while, the only people to block me were rapey or rape apologisty (i.e. Jay Paterno)... Then all of Sakowski's friends got in on the act when I kept reminding them of his plagiarism.

So... no waiver wire between Christmas and New Years, but next week, I anticipate some more churn. Tyler Nevin Lucas Luetge Oliver Ortega Taylor Widener Junior Fernandez I could maybe see one or more of those guys being claimed. I'm not sure if this week counts against the week Logue and Feliciano have to be on the roster before being put back on waivers.

What exactly are Brieske, Lange, Olson, and Faedo bouncing back to? And how will Mize bounce back if he isn't set to return until toward the end of the season, if at all?

I hope this analogy doesn't apply. Lottery tickets are a net loser.

Huh, amazing how the Union Water Carriers on Twitter were quick to jump on the Giants for cheeping out and getting cold feet.

I fear Clemens upside is right around the dreadful version of Moustakas the last two years.

Possible he just lost all confidence in the Vegas band box last year. He'll be on the other side of the churn later.

Mike Moustakas was DFA'ed yesterday. I would not claim him on waivers, but on a minor league or league minimum deal after he's released? Why not?

The reason he took the year off is he had an injury and had a draft pick attached to him last year.

He took this past year off.

Not us but there was fear of what they would do after Ukraine before Ukraine put up a fight.

Meanwhile, in another thread, Microline draws an impressively straight and very narrow line.

That takes time

It seems when a team can't produce home grown talent and has issues keeping players healthy and botching rehabs and the first thing the new guy does is overhaul the amateur scouting department and training staff, it's hard to say nothing has been done.

Lorenzen's contract was finalized today.

Good thing Opening Day isn't 21 Dec. People are used to Avila signing somebody to fill the hole early in the offseason, wiping his hands and declaring mission accomplished.

It's on the Jan 6 website. I skimmed it, but it seemed to track pretty similarly to the presentation they gave today. Another reason to go to the primary source and just skip cable news 😀

My Congressman is one of the five, and has ethics issues. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Upon further research, by rule the committee is 50/50 split and there is a non-partisan Office of Congressional Ethics.

Just came here to ask about this... What good does this do if it goes to a GOP led committee on January 3?
