DeRosa just acknowledged that he "misspoke" on MLB network earlier today when he said they had already clinched. That's not misspeaking, that's not knowing the scenario until someone told him he was wrong afterwards.

It goes to earned runs allowed, then team batting average, then coin flip.

DeRosa actually thinks this game doesn't matter.

It's getting to be over the top actually. How many times was he going to call that guy fat to his face? The zoo CT scanner comment had me cracking up because we used to actually talk about doing that when I was an intern.
Wonder if Al-Hashimi is going to get a bad outcome with that central retinal artery occlusion patient. She definitely provided the necessary info to let the patient make a sound decision, but they've been hinting at something bad happening to her the whole season.
The Dr. King deposition stuff is getting a little over the top too. She's an ER doctor on a shift. Really unlikely she'd be pulled in the middle of it for something like that. It's not an actual trial. Now they're bringing her sister back as a patient next week, so something is likely going to happen with that storyline then.

Swiss have just been better today. US forced to take 1 with hammer 4 times.

Feel like this is obviously coming. Especially with the theme of Santos making mistakes and being more worried about her charting than her patients.

al hashimi has MS or PTSD or something going on with her panicked call to her neurologist
They're definitely hinting at PTSD with the reference to the hospital bombing and her military service background. But the call to neuro suggests something more physical and less psychological.
I don't think this is great hockey or anything, but it's infinitely more watchable than women's basketball.

why would you just not peel off every stone the Swiss throw from the beginning. If you don’t miss they can’t get two, much less three.
From a few pages back in this thread:
quote:
Under the current Five-Rock Rule (adopted in 2018), teams cannot remove an opponent's stones located in the Free Guard Zone (FGZ) until the first five rocks of an end have been played. If a guard is removed before this, the thrown rock is removed, and all other stones are replaced.
Key details of the rule:
The Rule: The first 5 rocks of an end (3 by the team without hammer, 2 by the team with hammer) cannot be knocked out of play.
Free Guard Zone: This is the area between the hog line and the house.
Penalty: If an opposing guard is knocked out of play, the played stone is removed, and the guard is placed back.
Strategy: This rule forces teams to keep more rocks in play, reducing blank ends and encouraging more offensive strategies.
Exceptions: A team may remove their own guard, or move an opponent's guard within the FGZ, but cannot remove it entirely.
2nd time he’s done that with the last throw today. Let them right back in it.

Good start for the men this morning. 4 in the first end. Had a bad throw with hammer in the 3rd end that lead to a German steal. Pick it up here.

The US women's skip missed another shot there in the 9th end. She had a bad last 2 throws against Sweden yesterday too. Not having a great olympics so far.

Looks like a possible fasciotomy incision under the bottom part of that bed sheet. Probably had compartment syndrome to go along with the complex tibia fracture.

Played at the English Turn qualifier a couple of years ago when the state am was at TPC. Pretty sure 78 got through, 79 made a playoff.
quote:
I understand the process but why dont they have straightforward contracts?
It's all part of the CBA between MLB and the union. Players need 6 years of service time before gaining free agency. Once a player has 3 years of service time, he is arbitration eligible, and gets to go through this process each of the next 3 years until he's a free agent. Of course, teams can choose to offer players a straightforward contract at any time. For instance, Jacob Wilson signed a 7 year, $70M contract with the A's this offseason after his rookie year, so he bypasses the arbitration process all together.

I think the doctors’ minds are largely influenced by things other than commercials. Free lunched and dinners and such.
The last thing I want to do at lunch or after work is spend time with a drug rep spouting off about why their drug is the best. I'd rather have lunch on my own or dinner at home with my family. Drug reps just slow me down during clinic as well. What you're describing isn't really a thing in medicine these days.

Tanner Scott. Cubs offered him 4/$66M, Dodgers got him at 4/$72M.

Explain this to me like I'm dumb, because I am on the subject. Why should he and anyone be penalized for rejoining the PGA?
The PGA Tour has a rule that it's members can't play in events that occur at the same time as PGA Tour events without prior permission. It's sort of a non-compete for the independent contractor players and is meant to protect the Tour's events and sponsors since all players don't play in every event. LIV obviously occurs at the same time as PGA Tour events, so those players were suspended by the PGA Tour when they left.
