Starting today. No time served since he was paid. should be interesting lawsuit. I think it might be hard for MLB to uphold this two year suspension.

Definitely a star for everything lol

Another reason why it sucks the Rays don’t have a new stadium. Would be nice seeing Adames and Franco playing on the left side of the infield. he deserves all good things that’s happening for him in Milwaukee. Just sucks he pretty much couldn’t see the ball at The Trop.

Franco turned 20 years old at the start of Spring Training. Last played a minor league game in the FSL as an 18 year old. Also had a minor injury in the Dominican Winter League this past offseason that cut his season short. This wasn’t a Kris Bryant type situation and the argument would hold more water if there was a minor league season in 2020.

Very woke of them

He said something along the lines that if the Rays picked up his option then he’d be honored that they wanted him. If not then maybe he will probably retire. He lives in the Sarasota area. Less than an hour drive to the stadium. I’m guessing if he wants to play, he and TB will work something out for less than the $15M option that was declined.

I’m ok with expanded playoffs but I think it should be 12 teams. Six in each league. You should be rewarded for winning your division over 162 game season so no byes or short series. Division winners l to ALDS/NLDS. Wild Cards 3 plays Wild Card 2. Winner plays Wild Card 1. Single game/winner take all. Then reseed going into divisional series based on overall wins. But WC playoff winner doesn’t get home field in any round during DS or LCS. Or atleast not in the divisional round.

Ji-Man Choi homered today hitting right handed. 2020 gonna 2020...

Well 2020 season has became a sham. The MLBPA lost all their leverage in this back in March, when for some dumb reason they gave MLB the power to set any schedule without negotiating. Whoever allowed that in the contract should be fired.

Probably a way to force the MLBPA back towards 80 games. But who knows. I’ll watch bc what else is there to do but I defiantly won’t be too bothered if my team wins or lose. It’ll be like preseason football, I’ll watch but don’t get hurt and screw up 2021.

50-60 game schedule? No thanks. Waste of time.

Brady is just going to keep that #12 Bucs jersey warm for Rodgers.

Guess McMahon is having to put that money into the WWE since wrestling is hemorrhaging money right now.

Writers should use SDP instead of PTBNL going forward.

lol, missing game winning FGs is very Bucs-like. Just saying.

Disgusting. The refs really have ruined football.

Glasnow said he saw the tape and he was tipping his pitches. Sucks but it was a fun ride.

The pitching has been there. Just worst possible matchup for the Rays. And maybe anyone really. No reason to be mad or even upset. Atleast not getting embarrassed like the Twins lol.

Meadows screwed up. He did something similar the other day too. 2013 ALDS Game 1 all over again. Close game at Boston and a Wil Myers screw up in RF blows the game open.

Glasnow returns, strikes out 5 in 2 innings. Meadows hits home run. Poor Pirates lol

Jay wouldn’t even be on the Rays MLB roster, so talk of him being a starter is a major stretch. Sanchez is the next starting RF for the Rays when someone overpays Garcia this winter. TB just got rid of Colome last year, I highly doubt they bring him back for half a year and give up a top prospect.

Mayor of St Petersburg just said no chance. Won’t even bring it up to a vote with the city council.

Odds of this type of arraignment actually happening is like 1%. MLBPA will have major issues. The city of St Petersburg has to agree to this and that is unlikely. Sounds like a power move by Rays to force St Pete and Tampa’s hand. The two cities/counties leaders have been bickering a lot lately and there was some words said yesterday. And today this comes out.

lol, nice. I know the Cubs did it a year or two ago with a pitcher and left field? Rays did it last year twice. One game Romo finished the 8th, started the 9th at third base before finishing off the game. Jose Alvarado did it as well but he played first base for a hitter.

The three batter minimum is dumb. Don’t tell managers how to manage. Then tell the offensive manager that he can’t replace a hitter once he’s announced. No more pinch hitting after the opposing manager makes a pitching change. And what does three batters mean? Are we going to see a relief pitcher come in a play first base or left field and flip flop between hitters? What if the manager brings in two pitchers at once? Does pitcher playing first base for the first batter fall under these rules? Can’t he play first base for Batter 1, pitch to Batter 2 and then be replaced by a backup first baseman for Batter 3? Flip flopping players like that takes just seconds. Probably done by the time the on deck hitter walks to the plate.
