@bethanyshondark The way other countries have been able to crush the curve is to test, trace, and isolate. The federal government has abdicated all responsibility to do this and left it to the states. You should be upset at the lack of contact tracing, testing, and isolation. That's what works.

Everyone in the Manny contract situation is behaving properly. Manny *should* opt-out. The market demands it. The Padres *should* negotiate, and they are. Reporters should ask questions, they did. Fans should be at least a little worried, they are. I think a deal gets done.

Noticed at yesterday's #Padres game: Juan Soto, coming off the field after the T-1st, didn't go into the dugout until he dapped up every player who was heading in with him. Later, he was embracing the first base coach during a pitching change. A demonstrative leader.
