I disagree. There is a point as to where you can mitigate the transmission. There is no true control or stopping it. We saw how the players weren't following the guidelines. If there were more strict following the guidelines it may have worked more effectively.

This is what many people don't get. Some will say "masks don't prevent the transmission." This is probably true as there is nothing that can totally stop the virus. However, it the slowing of the tramission and mitigating it as much as possible that is the key. Too many people are all or nothing.

There needs to be a balance though. These players while highly played are just like everyone else that needs to make money to live. Where do you draw the line between making a living and mitigating the spread of the virus? That is the tough question.

Depends on what the issue is. If it's an acute bursa issue, an injection will take care of it quickly. If it's more rotator cuff, labrum or bicep issue it could be the 6 weeks mentioned earlier which would essentially end his season.

He will automatically be in it with a collision and light headedness. Hopefully he passed the tests and will out just today.

The way he was throwing across his body with the lower arm angle makes me think it happened earlier and is in the subacromial area.

Cease is the better pitcher but if you look at it from trying to win both of the first series it makes sense. The twins get the the Sox number 1,2,5 starters and Cleveland gets the 3,4,1 starters. it evens it out instead of front loading the twins series.

Who said this team was ready?

Delmonico has actually pretty good that first year. Hopefully, in limited time he can produce again.

Either way they have legit reasons if they choose to.

Yes it is.

Bears just sent out a notice that there will be no season tickets this year. No multi-game packages either. If fans are allowed in the stadium PSL holders then season ticket holders will have priority for single game tickets.

With this lineup you can pretty much put the top 6 anywhere. I'm glad Robert is lower to start. He is going to struggle mightily early on with contact.

Agreed

Nice variety! Need to have other options for error and walk though.

Even if was Old Milwaukee Red Light or Hamms? I'm a fan but I'm not sure I could go there. ?

This is why they had Mercedes and Vaughn play third. With this group they can scrimmage now. ?

Rodenbach grand cru and Giordano deep dish. That's my plan.

Baseball is such a random sport compared to most because they depend so much on one player, the starting pitcher, AND the other team cant counter him with their best player in big situations. In football the quarterback can be countered by schemes or defending his favorite receiver with your best player. In baseball they have to bat in the order so in big situations they need to count on lesser players often. Whether it's a 3 game series or a 9 game series. It's the luck of the draw. Obviously in a longer series team depth and the increased chance the better players will hit but it's still a lot of luck and randomness. I prefer the longer season and longer series but whatever helps young fan interest and helps the game in the long run is fine with me because its baseball.

Agreed. Its baseball time.

Serves me right for posting before reading everything else! I figured the owners had to give up something.

At least they finally agreed on something. It's interesting that the players wouldn't agree to it during the larger negotiations but agreed to it now. I wonder if the owners offered something for during the CBA discussions.

Because Snyder was adamantly opposed to even considering changing the name until big money corporate sponsors threatened to pull out. He probably threatened to fire anyone who even mentioned it in meetings.

After the awful fighting between the owners and the union, the league could use some goodwill and interest for the fans. It's purely a way to get the fans back into the game until the game loses it again with the CBA battle and probable work stoppage.

Agreed. Personally, I don't mind more teams but the "choosing" of the opponent should be just for this season.
