No, it is many times worse than the flu. You just aren't smart enough to understand.
1 in 600 Americans dead from COVID-19, this is with significant measures taken to reduce spread. Without those measures, the death rate likely drops to 1 in 300 or even more.
And variations are making it more transmissible and more deadly to young people.
Willie Calhoun and Dylan Cease come off the IL today in an AL only. In Fantrax, drop a couple of guys, slot Willie and Dylan in there, no problem. Yahoo, changes take one day to come into effect. Ludicrous.
I suspect like other teams the plan was to limit their innings in the first half and build up for an unrestricted 2nd half usage. Nothing is going according to plan this year, though.
Before June we will see both of them, even if just for a few days each of emergency work.
Jays probably hoped Roark would provide a bridge to Manoah or SWR later in the season (innings limit consideration). Forget it, bring one of them up next week. And/or sign Porcello.
Roboumps will reduce K's. Anyone else notice the number of K's from pitches way outside the zone? Roboumps will force more pitches in the zone = more balls in play.
And spin rate seems to be higher with this new ball, been watching videos of sick pitch movement all spring.
f***ing around with the pitcher's mound should be the last resort.
