Backup Catcher (update 3/29 - Lucroy won't make team, asked for release)
And you have Vaughn, Abreu, Eloy, Grandal, and probably Moncada occasionally who will be getting DH at-bats, With Vaughn and Grandal getting time at 1B as well. Where is Collins getting at bats to start the season if you also have Lucroy around? Don't really care which one it is because I think they both stink, but what is the point of both?

Backup Catcher (update 3/29 - Lucroy won't make team, asked for release)
Idk going with Mendick, Engel, Leury seems like a wise move to me. Back up infielder, Back up outfielder, back up wherever he needs to play guy. Makes much more sense to me than having Lucroy and Collins on the team at the same time.

Game Thread - 3/15 Sox vs Cubbos - 3:05 PM CST
Because the guy who is safe normally doesn’t walk away. the only way it’s not a double play is if Maybin left before the other runner was tagged.

The lead runner is entitled to the base. Maybin was safe the other guy was out.

I thought that play should have been a double play and I thought I was going insane. Happy to get validated.

Yeah but there’s 27 teams in the same boat.

Not true. At the very least this is not fully understood and they can't yet say that vaccination doesn't prevent transmission.

2021 Bullpen Hype Thread
There's so much depth in this thing that I think it's really unlikely you don't end up with two or three guys who are lights out. Don't really know who it's going to be, there will probably be someone. Also possible the bullpen ends up being crap, but I don't think that's likely.

I would think they'll sell those tickets easily even given the possibly suppressed demand..

**Movies that we Watch** Thread
Bee Gees documentary on HBO is very good, and paints Disco Demolition as the embarrassment it was instead of through some weird rose glasses.

Idk about Illinois, because this is the first i've heard about this, but I know in NJ it's pretty much just the honor system.

Cases may, and probably will go up, but I don't expect this to get out of hand again.

Giolito says there hasn't been talks on an extension
It's a combination of too late, and to be honest, too risky. He's built up enough resume to demand a big offer, but not quite enough where you're comfortable giving him a ton of money.

The state PD is putting like 12,000 people a day or something absurd like that through McCormick place. It’s insane.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I can't get over how similar the peaks ended up, with how different the level of mitigation was between the two. And if it comes down to seasonality, are we going to see another spike soon?

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I don't think there's hard evidence yet that says longer than three months, but it's expected to be longer. So they can't say anything more than 3.

So maybe we don’t need another reliable starter after all
Deadening the ball isn't going to make people want to walk less, or make pitchers stop being unhittable mutants.
