Guys

Seeing as how President Trump’s time having a normal one might be coming to an end one day, I wanted to remind you guys perhaps for the last time that I have two amazing Trump-adjacent games in the actual iOS App Store. When I say amazing, I mean ȁ̵̫m̸̥̓a̶̰͗z̵̦͘ḯ̷̥n̷͔͒g̴͕͑ (i.e. a shitpost in game form), obviously.

Trump Presidency Simulator allows you to step into the shoes of Donald J. Trump and realistically experience what it's actually like to be the 45th President of the United States of America. TLDR: It’s an endless runner that takes place in hell with some cool music and visuals and there’s a power-up where you get to ride a golf cart around.

Trump Toilet Toss is a deeply satisfying meditation that just may bring you a moment of peace. TLDR: You throw Trump’s head (and others) into a toilet accompanied with excellent sound effects, and when you get a combo going the toilet glows gold and you get bonus points while monks start to sing.

Please note! I haven’t updated either of these in ages because the process to get them approved was kind of a horrible pain in the ass. Anything “political” gets put through extra scrutiny prior to approval, which means multiple rejections and a dialogue with multiple Apple representatives where they tell me what I have to cut. (Seriously, all the best jokes are in the trash.) Because of this, there’s 1. some bugs now on newer phones, and 2. no references to our specific current hellworld situation. But like, screw it: this is 2020.

Thanks everyone, now back to the memes.

Starting June 9th, get ready for the summer indoor golf tournament that could land you a $10,000 USD grand prize! This 10-week tournament also offers a chance each week to win $1,000 USD and other great prizes.

Why watch golf pros compete online or on TV when you can be in the game to WIN the game? From the inception of aG Tour, our golf simulator tournaments were made for you and your family – not just the pros. It’s free to enter and you can play on any aG golf simulator with an internet connection.

Participants have told us these competitions are a great cure for families with the stuck-at-home blues and have been a big success with over nearly 900 entries so far. So, by popular demand we’re expanding our aG Alpha Tour next week by kicking off the Summer 2020 season, and it’s bigger and better. There are different, exciting new challenges and more and bigger prizes. This 10-week online tournament virtually spans the globe by including our network of Indoor Golf Center partners and features seven different competition formats.

Like you, most of us have been stuck in our homes, and are feeling distanced not only from friends and family but also the hobby and passion we hold dear to our hearts. And a $1,000 USD or even $10,000 grand prize winner’s check doesn’t hurt either!

Our latest winner of the recent Alpha Home Tour, Chelsea Acree, may have put it best: “I grew up golfing with my dad and brothers. I love that we have the simulator in our house so I can golf with my husband and kids and make fun memories with them. During quarantine, golfing together has been the best part of our evenings. My 4-year-old loves that he can golf in his underwear. We love a little family competition! My husband got second place a few weeks ago, and now I can say I officially beat him getting first this week!” She and her family competed and won $1000 USD, and now they’ll have a chance to win up to $10,000 USD.

If you haven’t tried one of our golf simulators yet, it’s easy. Just download the free aG Locker app to locate an indoor golf center near you. If you already have a simulator at home, you’re all set to go with an internet connection. Some details: For each weekly event, prizes will be awarded as follows: $1,000 USD for first place, a Yeti Cooler for second place, and a Patagonia Duffle for third place. At the end of the 10-week aG Summer 2020 Tour, a grand prize of $10,000 USD will be awarded to the player who has accumulated the most aG Points. The more you play, the more points you can earn over the next 10 weeks with six exciting new competition formats which will keep novices and experts equally entertained.

For details on competition formats, amazing worldwide courses from Tuscany Reserve to Texas Tour to Whistling Straits, and aG’s rules and regulations, check out the aG Tour webpage.

Here’s a flyover view of the first challenge taking place at Pine Rivers Championship Golf Course, or just click the course image below. This course was created by aboutGOLF developers looking to test even the most skilled golfers. Hole 4 awaits you and is a 192-yard drive from the blue tees.

120. Opnieuw, wat een hitte

21/06/2020

Het is 23:00 en ik ben net pas klaar met eten, want tijd is een illusie en je hoeft niet altijd rond 18:00 gegeten te hebben.

Corona is nog niet officieel terug, maar op vrijdag waren er weer 6 besmettingen bij. Ik weet niet hoeveel er op zaterdag waren, maar op woensdag waren het er dus 8. Wacht... John Hopkins.

De laatste keer dat ik de getallen aangaf was tijdens 114. Dober tek, geschreven op 13 juni. Toen hadden we 1.492 besmettingen en 109 doden. Ik ga nu eens kijken hoe de situatie is.

Geen nieuwe doden, maar wel wat besmettingen. Ik pak even mijn rekenmachine erbij.

Oef.

28 nieuwe besmettingen in maar 8 dagen. Dat is niet meer 1 of 2 besmettingen per dag. Climbing uphill, maar niet in de goede manier. Zover ik weet is er geen reden om te spreken over een tweede golf, maar ik houd jullie op de hoogte als dat wel gebeurd.

Wat heb ik dit weekend gedaan? Nou, ik ben amper mijn huis uitgegaan, want ik weet niet wat ik moet doen. Ik kan niet elke dag in het park gaan zitten.

Nou, dat kan ik wel, maar dan heb ik er ook geen lol meer in. Op zaterdag de 20e heb ik weer 1,5 uur besteed aan het verplaatsen van bloemen op Animal Crossing, want ik heb geen leven.

Dit kostte dus 1,5 uur:

Dat gezegd hebbende, de oranje en roze cosmos omringen mijn hele eiland. Of tenminste, dat is het plan. Ik heb te weinig bloemen, dus nu moet ik ze gaan kweken. De Animal Crossing spellen hebben altijd maar 3 normale kleuren per bloem en dan kan je “speciale” kleuren kweken. Normaal is het best makkelijk, maar in deze Animal Crossing moeten ze het weer moeilijk maken. Ze hebben de echte biologische tactiek genaamd van de Wetten van Mendel toegepast in dat spel. Met andere woorden: alle bloemen hebben dominante en recessieve genen. Allemaal gedoe met vier componenten van de genen en kansen van kleine percentages en nog wat.

Ja, ik snap er ook niets van.

youtube

Ik vergeet altijd hoe gepassioneerd sommige mensen zijn. Er is een persoon die een hele Flower Breeding Simulator website heeft gemaakt.

Verder heb ik voor Methode A geleerd. Ik ben de hele tijd bang dat ik niet ben ingeschreven, wat belachelijk is, want ik ben ingeschreven, maar ik ben nu constant nerveus. Zelfs tijdens het schrijven van die zin dacht ik “maar wat als???”. Die ene keer in mijn 2e bachelorjaar heeft effect op lange termijn.

Nu we het toch over bachelor hebben: ik heb me weer heringeschreven voor de bachelor ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼. Tijd voor mijn vierde bachelorjaar en waarschijnlijk ook mijn laatste (tenzij ik Methode A blijf falen, maar daar ga ik niet van uit). Kiddos, vergeet niet om je weer in te schrijven, anders kan je niet verder studeren en verlies je je studiefinanciering.

Dus ja, zaterdag was relatief chill. Ik eindigde de dag met The Antonyo Awards, een theater award uitreiking voor Black Broadway en Off-Broadway. Er zijn dit jaar namelijk geen Tony Awards wegens Corona, dus de Antonyos waren op YouTube. Geen idee wat de Tonys gaat doen.

Vandaag heb ik weer weinig gedaan, maar de stonks waren tenminste 93 Bells. Ik heb Black Theatre Matters gekeken en het was zeer informatief, dus zeker een aanrader, en ik heb ineens mega veel geschreven voor Sociologie, dus het was een succes. Ik heb er geen zin meer in, maar als ik eenmaal over glee begin, dan kan ik niet stoppen. Mijn werkstuk gaat nu eenmaal over glee.

Hoera. Ik denk dat ik een inhoudsanalyse aan het doen ben, maar ik weet het niet zeker. Wat is mijn methodologie? Wat voor een onderzoek doe ik? Geen idee. Ik ken deze serie uit mijn hoofd, dus ik kan niet zeggen dat ik helemaal opnieuw een inhoudsanalyse aan het doen ben, want ik heb het niet nodig. Het wordt afwachten.

Ik denk dat ik weer eens de New York scenes van Love, Victor ga kijken. Hoiie.

***

22/06/2020

Het is 12:26. Om 19 minuten begint het Methoden A examen (Methode A? Methoden A? Welke is het nu?) en ik ben al sinds 8:30 wakker en zeer nerveus, dus ik ben tot 12:00 of zo in mijn bed blijven liggen met Animal Crossing om kalm te blijven (Punchy vond al dat ik opmerkelijk vroeg wakker was rond 10:00).

GOD

OH GOD.

OH GOD GOD GOD. ALS JE BESTAAT (lol) HELP ME. Ik ben gewoon nerveus, want ik weet niet wat ik moet verwachten en wat als ik het heb onderschat omdat het een openboektentamen is?

EEEEEEH.

***

12:39

HERE I FICKCING OOOG

***

14:40

Ingeleverd!

***

19:01

Dit is de derde keer met een “wat een hitte” titel, maar wat een hitte. En het gaat warmer worden:

Zo. Methoden A. Het was inderdaad zeer anders dan normaal. Nu moest ik twee onderzoeksontwerpen omschrijven. Ik kon kiezen uit grootschalig veldonderzoek, etnografisch veldonderzoek en inhoudsanalyse. Piss off etnografisch veldonderzoek.

Mijn enige probleem was dat ik maar 500 woorden per ontwerp mocht gebruiken. Ik weet dat ik als derdejaars meer kennis heb dan nodig aangezien dit een BA1 vak is (factor- en component analyse voor inhoudsanalyse komt pas in BA3. Cronbachs alfa voor interne consistentie van itembetrouwbaarheids komt pas in BA2 enz.), maar zelfs dan heb ik het gevoel dat ik niet genoeg plaats had om alles te verwoorden. Ik zie wel. Ik ben er tenminste vanaf.

Shout out naar Marleen voor het helpen en voor dat jullie denken dat ik heb gespiekt: 🍐 heeft gezegd dat overleg mocht plaatsvinden. Ik heb het zelf gemaakt, maar ik heb het voor de zekerheid nagevraagd, want ik heb zelf nooit een data-analyse van een inhoudsanalyse gedaan.

Maar hoera. Het is voorbij. Hopelijk voor eeuwig. Als ik het na 6 x niet haal dan weet ik echt niet meer wat ik moet doen.

Oh en ander nieuws: de eerste trailer van Hamilton is op YouTube en ik ben mega enthousiast maar twee dingen irriteerde me:

Disney. De Disney intro. Disney+. Het feit dat Hamilton nu van Disney is. Damnit Lin, waarom gaf je het niet aan een Broadway streaming service? Ik weet dat Disney $75 miljoen dollar heeft betaald, maar damnit Lin!

Het heeft een PG-13 rating, dus waarschijnlijk is de tekst gecensureerd 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃. Dit is hetzelfde met de opgenomen versie van Falsettos. UGH. Ze mogen maar één scheldwoord houden, dus hopelijk is het “southern motherfucking democratic-republicans”.

Hoe dan ook, Hamilton is mega goed en hier is de trailer.

youtube

Ik ging meteen de stad in om kipnuggets te eten. Zo kon ik dat ook weer van mijn bucket list afhalen. Ik heb eindelijk iets gevonden dat duurder is dan in Nederland. 6 kipnuggets bij McDonald’s is €2,60 i.p.v. €2. Dan maar de 9 kipnuggets. Blijkbaar was dat dus wel weer goedkoper (€3,20 hier, €3,75 in NL). Ik weet het ook niet meer.

Boh, het is dus warm. Op mijn kamer is het te doen, aangezien het altijd kouder is, maar ik was voor mijn tentamen even naar Barbara’s kamer gegaan om folie voor Aga te pakken en het was een sauna. Ik heb meteen het raam daar opengezet.

Er waren weer eens geen city bikes beschikbaar en de bus was best vol. Yay 😒. We kunnen ook weer voorin instappen. Dat kon vrijdag ook al, dus weer een ding terug naar hoe het was voor de pandemie.

Ik moest toch de stad in voor tandenstokers, dus ik liep door de Mueller en raad eens wat ik zag: een hele rij met Nintendo Switch spellen.

Huh?

Herinneren jullie dat ik voor de lockdown opzoek was naar een videogame winkel om Animal Crossing te kopen? Ik ben helemaal naar BTC gereisd. Ik heb de mainstreet afgezocht voor die Mantis. Ik ben gaan Googlen... en nu lag er altijd iets midden in het centrum. Maar ik weet zeker dat ik door de Mueller ben gegaan.

I am confusion.

Drie opties:

Ik ben mega dom en ik heb erover heen gekeken

Ik was vergeten dat de Mueller in de stad ook videogames had

Ik ben niet eerder door de hele Mueller gelopen.

Ach, ik heb inmiddels toch Animal Crossing. Ik ging wel even kijken hoeveel Joy-Cons er waren, want die van mij zijn al een jaar kapot (lang verhaal). Ik wil eigenlijk helemaal geen tweede paar Joy-Cons kopen want a) ze zijn mega duur (standaard €70 voor een nieuw paar) en b) ik speel altijd alleen, dus ik heb er geen nodig.

Plus, de combinatie van kleuren die ik wil is niet beschikbaar. Als ik een paarse linker Joy-Con wil, moet ik er een oranje rechter Joy-Con bij kopen en als ik een rechter roze Joy-Con wil, moet ik er een groene linker Joy-Con bij kopen. Hoera. De combinatie van groen/roze is eigenlijk heel cool, maar die heb ik al voor mijn Procontroller en als ik dus ooit een 2e paar Joy-Cons neem, wil ik iets anders.

Oh, en ik wil eerst kijken of ik garantie heb op mijn kapotte dingen. Het is mega irritant en ik kan er geen Splatoon 2 door spelen. F in the chat.

Goed. Geen Joy-Cons bij Mueller gekocht. Ze hadden toch alleen maar de neon gele Joy-Cons. Tip: koop ze nooit op Bol.com, want daar zijn ze mega duur. €121 voor een paar? Pffffff.

De hitte zorgde ervoor dat ik ijs wil en ik was in een goede bui, aangezien Methoden A voorbij was, dus treat yoself. Het was druk bij de VIGÒ en ik kan de nieuwe smaak Lila: witte chocolade, lavendel en blauwe bessen. Dat met Malina (framboos) was zeer goed.

Het treintje van Ljubljana stond ook weer bij de VIGÒ. Alles komt terug.

Een grote fuck you naar de twee dames die pal achter me stonden. Ze stonden zo dicht bij dat het zelfs voor Corona tijden zou worden gezien als ongemakkelijk. Een dubbele fuck you toen één ook nog begon te niezen. Achteraf bedacht ik pas dat ik eigenlijk passief agressief naar het bordje met “1,5 m” had moeten wijzen. Om eerlijk te zijn doet niemand dat meer, maar dit was wel heel dichtbij. Ze stonden bijna tegen me aan.

Het was best rustig, dus dat zorgde ervoor dat de paar toeristen die rondliepen geweldige Instagram-waardige foto’s konden maken. Je weet wel. Je staat alleen te poseren terwijl iemand anders vanaf de grond een kikkerperspectief gebruikt en dan heb je zo’n coole achtergrond zoals dit:

Ja, ik besloot om de Insta-achtergronden te fotograferen. Dit was niet de enige plek voor kikkerperspectief Insta-waardige gefilterde foto’s. Eén vrouw was zowat een hele fotoshoot aan het houden op een brug om de rivier op de achtergrond te hebben.

Ah. Het mooie Slovenië. Er waren ook mensen aan het kanoën en er vaarde een grote houten boot met allemaal kinderen rond. Het weer is goed. Iets te warm voor mijn doen, maar goed.

Met deze hitte ging ik echt niet naar huis fietsen. Dat is veel in de zon. Dan maar met de bus. En nu ben ik hier. Ik deed mijn raam eens open (moest ervoor op mijn bed staan) en woah, licht. Zie hier het verschil. Dat gaasje is absoluut nutteloos om al het licht buiten te houden, maar het maakt het wel donkerder.

Ik speelde eventjes Animal Crossing en Ellie zei dat ze nog steeds een last minute idee moet krijgen voor avondeten en... same. Ik moet weer koken. Misschien een goed iets dat Ellie me eraan liet denken, want nu moet ik maar eens kijken wat ik in huis heb.

Oh en het regent weer op mijn eiland, maar nu is het oké, want ik heb regen nodig voor bloemen kweken.

En ja, ik ben verkleed als prins Zuko. Ik ben op zoek naar mijn eer.

Why these 5 MLB playoff groups from 2019 might miss the 2020 postseason

With Opening Day 2020 simply three weeks away, we have reached the a part of the spring when prognostication turns into the baseball media's second faith. There isn't a scarcity of inquiries to reply with guesses at this level. Who would be the fifth starter? What concerning the final participant on the bench? What are the chances this or that harm is healed in time for the season?

At minimal, these workouts are a great way to run down the clock. Typically, although, they show to be greater than filler, and might spur some attention-grabbing ideas. As an illustration, this week we intend to reply two inquiries to one of the best of our capacity: 1) what sub-.500 groups will ascend and develop into contenders?; and a couple of) which playoff groups from final season will miss this yr's dance? We answered the primary query yesterday, so as we speak let's deal with the second inquiry.

Let's start with some pertinent data. The 10-team postseason has been round since 2012, when Main League Baseball launched the Wild Card Sport as a way of making extra drama. Within the seven postseasons since that inaugural version, at least three groups have fallen out of the bracket on a year-to-year foundation. The common turnover is 5, or half the sector.

Which groups sail over their Vegas win totals? And what number of wins will each single MLB staff have this season? Go to SportsLine now to get the highest 10 season win complete bets, and see each staff's projected file, all from a pc mannequin that went 14-5 on win complete picks final yr.

The previous does not all the time guarantee the long run, however on this occasion it makes for a helpful framing machine. Under you may discover final yr's playoff groups cut up into two tiers: "secure" and "dangerous," or the 5 groups we predict are likeliest to return and the 5 we predict are likeliest to fall out. We have ranked the groups inside every tier as effectively, as a way of displaying our confidence degree in every membership.

Now, let's get to it.

The secure groups

1. Los Angeles Dodgers

This is how safe the Dodgers are: PECOTA, Baseball Prospectus' storied projection system, provides them a 100 p.c probability at making the playoffs. That is based mostly on their simulations of the common season, which have the Dodgers averaging 23 wins greater than the second-place finisher within the Nationwide League West. For some extent of reference, contemplate that PECOTA thinks the hole between first and final within the Nationwide League Central can be 16 video games.

You do not have to know diddly squat about PECOTA to understand the stacked nature of this Dodgers membership. They received 106 video games final season, after which added the second-best participant within the recreation (Mookie Betts) and a veteran starter (David Value) with out giving up a lot. They did lose Hyun-Jin Ryu and Wealthy Hill to free company, however there's important room for inside progress, relying on the progress of Will Smith, Dustin Might, and Gavin Lux, amongst others.

With most groups, you'll be able to envision them lacking the postseason. Not right here, not even if you happen to're N.Ok. Jemisin. Andrew Friedman builds depth charts resembling spider webs, with protection and contingency plans in all places. Possibly the Dodgers win solely 100 video games as an alternative of 110 or extra, however they've an excessive amount of expertise and an excessive amount of depth to examine them failing to qualify for October.

2. New York Yankees

The chance with the Yankees is harm. New York modified its power and conditioning workers after main the league final season in days missed as a result of harm, however to this point it hasn't paid off. Luis Severino is out for the yr; James Paxton will miss the beginning of the season; and each Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Choose are coping with health-related issues of their very own. Woof.

Assuming the Yankees do not have key contributors drop like flies all season, once more, they're about as secure as an American League staff can get. PECOTA has them successful the East by greater than 10 video games, thanks partially to the Boston Crimson Sox prioritizing income to wins. Possibly the Tampa Bay Rays can provide the Yankees extra of a scare than projected, however that is to be seen.

3. Minnesota Twins

The chance with the Twins is regression, as their roster loved quite a lot of profession seasons in 2019. It is modern today to credit score these banner years to expert teaching, subsequently suggesting real adjustments of the true-talent selection. Possibly that proves to be the case for a couple of Twins gamers, however do not forget that their teaching workers was raided by the remainder of the league. The instructors in place now will be pretty much as good as their predecessors with out getting the identical outcomes.

The excellent news for the Twins is that they do not seem complacent. The entrance workplace added the second-best free-agent hitter accessible, in Josh Donaldson, and restocked the rotation by buying Kenta Maeda, Wealthy Hill, Homer Bailey, and Jhoulys Chacin, in addition to retaining Jake Odorizzi and Michael Pineda. That the Twins nonetheless have some items of observe on their farm system ought to afford them the potential to enhance in-season, ought to the necessity or alternative come up.

It does not damage the Twins' probabilities that they play in a reasonably weak division. The Detroit Tigers and Kansas Metropolis Royals serve no risk; Cleveland needs to be respectable regardless of doing little to assist its trigger; and the Chicago White Sox did lots to assist their trigger, however is perhaps solely a contender for a wild card spot. PECOTA has the Twins successful the Central by seven video games. Although the hole is perhaps smaller when all is alleged and completed, we agree with the algorithm that the Twins can be on prime.

4. Houston Astros

PECOTA has the Astros down for one of the best file within the American League, and second within the majors solely to the Dodgers. Why do we've them fourth? As a result of we predict there's extra crater potential right here than meets the attention -- and we're not speaking concerning the manifestation of dangerous karma from their dishonest scandal. Somewhat, we've considerations about Houston's rotation.

Justin Verlander and Zack Greinke are a mixed 73 years previous and have almost 6,000 regular-season innings below their belts. Each are super abilities who will find yourself in Cooperstown sometime, however accidents and age-related slippage can (and sometimes do) occur to everybody -- even one of the best of one of the best, even when neither appears to be on the desk.

The Astros appear particularly weak to that risk now that Gerrit Cole is elsewhere. The remainder of Houston's projected rotation consists of Lance McCullers Jr., Jose Urquidy, and Josh James. McCullers missed all of final season as a result of harm, and in 4 big-league seasons has topped out shy of 130 innings every time. Urquidy, Houston's breakout star final October, set a brand new career-high by tossing 144 innings between the majors and minors in 2019. In the meantime James, the Urquidy of the postseason earlier than final, had a 4.70 ERA in reduction final yr.

The Astros are going to should depend upon their bullpen, and can possible should dig into their beginning depth. These might show to be dicey propositions. The Astros misplaced Will Harris with out changing him, and their assortment of near-ready starters have blemishes of their very own. Forrest Whitley had a horrible 2019, ravaged by underperformance and harm; Cionel Perez's yr wasn't a lot better; and it might be in Houston's greatest curiosity to keep away from relying upon Rogelio Armenteros, Cristian Javier, and Cy Sneed for important contributions.

Houston will most likely determine it out and be wonderful, but it surely's simple to think about stretches the place the staff appears to be like uncovered as a result of a rotation that is not as robust or deep because it was.

5. Atlanta Braves

We thought the Braves had a strong offseason regardless of shedding Josh Donaldson, as they landed Marcell Ozuna, Cole Hamels, and Travis d'Arnaud, and rebuilt their bullpen by securing Will Smith and Chris Martin. Might they've completed extra? Most likely, however they've Cristian Pache and Drew Waters coming, they usually nonetheless have the potential to consolidate a few of their pitching on the deadline. For these causes, we put the Braves right here over the groups beneath.

There is a honest probability we find yourself trying silly for it, too.

The East options three different potential postseason golf equipment, together with the defending World Collection champions, giving the Braves probably the most divisional competitors of any staff on this tier. That is notable contemplating the Braves had the worst run differential of those 5 groups. Whereas the opposite 4 golf equipment posted the 4 greatest run differentials, the Braves had been tied for eighth. (Their run differential suggests they overachieved by six video games in notching 97 wins.)

Our reservations concerning the Braves are supported by PECOTA, which has them ending third within the East with 83 wins. We're not keen to go that far, however we will see the logic to it.

The dangerous groups

1. Tampa Bay Rays

We're amenable to the concept the Rays ought to've been the fifth "secure" staff. They've a strong roster, honest depth, and the power to deal and promote from a top-notch farm system. Additionally they simply noticed their closest risk deal the second-best participant in baseball to avoid wasting coin. If we needed to identify one staff in baseball the likeliest to win a wild card spot, it is the Rays.

Ultimately, that designation landed the Rays right here as an alternative of within the above tier. They had been a rung down from the Yankees final season, once they completed seven again, and this winter hasn't modified that. The Rays did not do a lot to handle their pitching workers, as each one in all their projected 13 was a member of the group final season.

As an alternative, the Rays prioritized their lineup, and particularly including platoon items of the right-handed selection. Slugger Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, who came visiting from the Yokohama Bay Stars, is the one new left-handed addition to the roster. In any other case, the Rays are banking on the likes of Hunter Renfroe, Jose Martinez, and Manuel Margot to fight lefties and supply depth.

That ought to work out wonderful, however most likely no higher than wonderful. Sadly for the Rays, scaling the AL East would appear to require greater than wonderful.

2. Oakland Athletics

The A's had been a a lot better staff final season than folks notice. To wit, they completed the common season with the fifth-best run differential in baseball. That is with Khris Davis having an terrible season; with their catchers giving them little on the plate; with their prime high-leverage relievers falling aside; and with Frankie Montas, Sean Manaea, A.J. Puk, and Jesus Luzardo combining for 21 begins. That is quite a lot of dangerous stuff for a staff to beat, however they did it.

So, why are they on the dangerous facet? It has extra to do with probabilistic considering and the power to improve than any expertise deficiency. The A's already seem capped out, and do not have a Rays-like farm system to advertise and deal from throughout the season. If that leaves the A's behind the Rays within the standings, which means they're going to be duking it out for one playoff spot with the Los Angeles Angels, Cleveland, the White Sox, and others. Their danger of shedding out is way increased.

The A's, then, might discover themselves in an uncommon place of being one of many higher groups within the recreation, based mostly on their expertise and efficiency ranges, with out being concerned within the playoffs.

3. Washington Nationals

We imply no disrespect to the defending champions, who will possible be aggressive once more inside the division and maybe inside the league. We simply suppose there's quite a lot of draw back in D.C.

The Nationals primarily introduced again their roster from final season, minus Anthony Rendon, plus Starlin Castro, Eric Thames, and Will Harris. Sounds wonderful ... besides it means the Nationals have 1) much less impact-level expertise and a couple of) a higher reliance on getting old veterans. Put one other means, six of the Nationals' 13 projected place gamers are a minimum of 33 years previous. That is a ton of attrition danger for a staff that doesn't have a lot minor-league depth to its credit score.

We will not ignore the likelihood that the heavy workload from final October will affect Stephen Strasburg, Max Scherzer, and Patrick Corbin, both. These three mixed for 93 begins final season. What occurs in 2020 if they begin solely 85 instances? Or 80? Once more, the Nationals simply do not have the depth to make up for a major decline or absence.

Baseball hasn't had a repeat champion because the 1998-2000 New York Yankees. We do not suppose that is altering this yr.

4. St. Louis Cardinals

By run differential, the Cardinals had been the weakest division winner in 2019. They did not do a lot to enhance their membership this winter, both, save for signing Kwang-Hyun Kim and a few bit items.

St. Louis let Marcell Ozuna stroll and did not make an addition to counter his loss. Additionally they traded Jose Martinez and Randy Arozarena for an A-ball pitcher, albeit in a deal that might work out effectively for them over the lengthy haul. On the harm entrance, they're more likely to be with out Miles Mikolas and Jordan Hicks for a piece of the season. That is not an ideal set of developments.

Dylan Carlson's arrival will assist, and the Cardinals all the time appear to discover a three-win contributor within the sofa cushions. For now, although, they appear like probably the most weak division winner.

5. Milwaukee Brewers

We lined the Brewers intimately when naming their offseason one of many worst in baseball. The brief model is that they bought cheaper however not higher, and that they arguably lowered their ceiling as a staff. We might nonetheless see the Brewers competing for a wild card spot, however there's quite a lot of draw back right here and it should not shock anybody in the event that they end third or fourth within the NL Central.

Golf Retail at Two Club Lengths

By ED TRAVIS

Retailing has taken an unprecedented hit. According to the U.S. Census Bureau the Sporting Goods/Hobby/Musical category had 38% lower sales in April than in March and Adobe’s Digital Economy Index reported online purchasing increased 49% in April.

It is easy to see the most immediate task for all retailers is to figure how to take advantage of the “new normal,” whatever that may be.

As shelter-in-place restrictions are being removed stores of all sizes are faced with figuring out how to attract customers, perhaps in ways never considered previously. E-commerce was already a major factor but due to the recent health requirements the trend is sure to gain momentum. Consumers, many for the first time, are taking advantage of the inventory variety, ease of comparison shopping, speed of ordering and often lower prices.

According to one major golf retailer, PGA TOUR Superstore (PGATSS), the solution is continuing a customer-centered instore experience and doing business at “Two Club Lengths.”

Dick Sullivan, President and CEO of PGA TOUR Superstore, has a reputation for dynamic management that is readily apparent while leading the company for the past decade. PGATSS’s results and his leadership were recognized in 2018 when he was the first retailer to be elected chairman of the National Golf Foundation. We had the opportunity to ask him questions about the present retailing situation and what it means for his operation.

Ed Travis: With store closings forced by the efforts to contain transmission of the COVID-19 virus did PGATSS lay off employees? If so, will they all be eventually reemployed?

Dick Sullivan: Our number one priority remains health and safety of Associates and customers. After that our focus is on preserving jobs. We have not furloughed Associates or had pay cuts. Our vision and business strategy are driven by a long-term approach in everything we do. That means making good, smart decisions for our business for the months and years ahead.

ET: An online ordering program with Curbside Caddie pickup was initiated. Considering the circumstances do you consider it a success?

DS: Absolutely, we were still able to accommodate our customers in our local markets while the stores remained closed to the public. We conceived the Curbside Caddie idea and integrated it into our digital experience in less than 48 hours. It has represented approximately 25-50% of our total e-commerce orders since launch.

ET: During the stay-at-home period were hard goods sales hurt more or less than soft goods?

DS: There has been significant demand in the accessory’s category because the majority of our sales are being driven by people that are out playing golf or practicing at home. Not surprisingly, many Customers have bought training aids, push/pull carts and golf balls, etc.

375% reflects the increase in push/pull cart sales from April of this year, compared to April of last year. With nearly 95 percent of golf courses open across the US, many facilities have put in place walking only protocols. Golf is a game that offers many physical and well-being benefits. Walking nine holes of golf is equivalent to 5,000 steps.

What has been the consistent number one category of products sold online was clubs. Our online club sales were up 120% vs. prior year and we attribute this to excellent blended offering of both repositioned and new clubs. It’s interesting to note, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in women’s packaged sets being purchased. Soft goods have seen smaller comp increases during this time compared to hard goods.

ET: With approximately two-thirds of your locations reopened have there been problems for employees and customers with social distancing and other preventative measures?

DS: We’ve done a good job of “doing the right thing.” Sanitation supplies, on the way in and out of the store, signage to reinforce social distancing, Associates wearing masks and we provided them with individual hand sanitizers in addition to multiple sanitation stations throughout the stores. We are also regularly wiping down clubs that are being demoed, golf balls that are being used in the simulators and on the putting green, and high traffic areas and surfaces.

We implemented a new ‘Starter’ position to help customers navigate the rules and to clean any equipment that is brought in for repairs or regripping. It gives the customer an opportunity to ask questions and hear what we are doing to help make them comfortable and safe.

We have also established a que line at check-out and labeled spacing to ensure social distancing guidelines.

ET: Will the costs of extra cleaning, etc. result in increased prices?

DS: No. Putting people first has always been our top core value. The health and safety of our Associates and customers will always be our top priority. Comfort, care, and cleanliness, has been our operational approach driving us during this time. For example, we have secured disposable masks, reusable masks, gallons of hand sanitizer, individual hand sanitizer, gloves and set up 450 hand sanitizing stations.

We also set up social distancing protocols reminding people to stay “two club lengths” (six feet) away from each other. And, then there is the signage throughout our stores and at the Store Support Center reminding people to practice social distancing, frequently wash hands, etc., all based on CDC and other government guidelines and recommendations.

ET: Before the closings, the growth trend in both instore and online sales had been extraordinarily strong. What special promotions or other initiatives will be done to reestablish that growth?

DS: We will continue to manage online business as we have working different exclusive promotions and offers. For the stores, we will celebrate Father’s Day with our usual focus on gifts for Dad and special offers. After Father’s Day, we will assess the results including what we heard from our customers and Associates and then plan the balance of the year as needed. I think it goes without saying that we are moving into uncharted territory with the season shifting to the second half of the year. The typical playbook is not going to work in 2020 and we want to be as agile and responsive as possible.

ET: Instore sales at the Altamonte Springs, Fla. location have shown a very significant increase since reopening May 4. What were the contributing factors and have similar results been seen in other locations?

DS: We have seen a significant year over year sales increase since re-opening our Altamonte Springs location. This is due to a couple of factors. The first being that a local competitor closed their location prior to and unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondly, the Altamonte Springs location relies more on its residential community rather than tourists. As you know, when they rank the top cities in the US for golf, Orlando is always in the top-10. http://theaposition.com/golf/courses-and-travel/1526/the-a-list-what-is-the-best-golf-city-in-the-us

ET: Given the depressed conditions some retailers are permanently closing locations while PGATSS is opening a new store in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. What is your thinking about such expansion right now and are more new store openings planned in the near future?

DS: Our brand has tremendous momentum and many markets that are not yet served. We support a game that is well-positioned to serve a higher purpose – particularly right now. Our growth plans have not changed. Not only Palm Beach opening, but we will open a store in Columbus, Ohio the week of the Memorial.

ET: An attraction and strength of PGATSS stores has been the “experience” consumers get when making a visit. How do you see that going forward?

DS: We have a very strong brand and history of consistently delivering positive experiences and trust for our Customers. Customers have thanked us for creating a safe environment for them to continue to enjoy shopping in our store and leveraging all that our store has to offer – putting green, hitting bays, fitting studio and more. We have made many enhancements to continue to facilitate the in-store experience that our customers enjoy. Their feedback and input have validated that they feel comfortable, are easing back in gently but looking forward to getting back into the store.

ET: The stay-at-home rules and retail shut down resulted in an immense increase of online transactions. According to some analysts this means basic changes to retailing in general as many shoppers may have simply gotten the “online habit” rather than making trips out to stores. Do you share that view, or do you see retailing returning with a similar buying pattern as it has had in the past due?

DS: We expect to continue to have strong online sales and will continue to elevate the digital experience – as we always have. That said, given the strong retail results we’ve been experiencing, as well as the feedback and insights directly from our Customers over the past month, we believe that our retail experience will be an opportunity for consumers to get custom fit and connect with others over their shared passion for the game, as well as continue to be mindful of their own self-care – mind, body and spirit. Golf is the game that provides that solution.
