On this date in 1910- The original Comiskey Park opened. On this date in 1990- The Sox were no hit by Andy Hawkins, and won. Today- Bobby Bonilla is the highest paid player in baseball.

It debuts on Friday on the Disney plus streaming service. Anyone else seen the show live and/or looking forward to this as much as I am? The previews seem like it will do the stage version justice.

The government HAS to replace income if they want this to start to put this virus down until a vaccine can be created.

Which is another way of saying this has a really high chance of being a flukey season, so a team has to be ready from day one. Think of it this way, a 60 game season when compared to the 162 game season means each game this year is worth 2.7 in a normal season. A bad week is more like a bad month than a bad week. A bad month is the end of a season.

Another one for the UDFA signing list. https://athletics.aurora.edu/sports/baseball/roster/aj-gill/10663

The teammate snitching on him is the new part.

I thought 2020 was universal but 2021 was not because they couldn't agree?

That's the answer right there. You also won't play him over McCann at C, so catching ABs are pretty much out of the question even before you get to his lack of catching skills. DH is going to be a pretty limited position for opportunities as well.

If your start goes 3-4 or innings, versus the ~6 they normally do, you are probably using 1 to 2 more pitchers per game than you normally would. Seeing as you can't use the same pitchers every day, it means you really do need at the very least a couple of more arms more than you would normally staff. 3-4 may well be the right number.

My mom is in a LTC facility and the daily numbers are just staggering once it gets in. It just explodes once it enters. And this is in a facility that hasn't taken visitors or new patients since early May. You aren't even allowed to take your family member OUT of the home. If you do, they are NOT allowed back in until their quarantine is over. Between staff and patients, they have almost 60 cases, and 8 deaths.

The Beaches, mall and casino over here are the same way.

They are talking about starters going 3 to 4 innings early in the season. I think Jim is right that we will be pitching heavy.

In a season like this one, I would be shocked if we didn't see a higher than normal volume of injuries.

Sure. And that hasn't happened for months now, yet breakouts keep happening in these same places.

Only if they show up all at once and aren't staggered over the 1.5 hours the gates open before the start of a game.

Its is a nice option to have for a player that might be blocked from a roster spot in a deeper organization. I like it.
