If I was the Sox, I'd pull all my young stars and run a AAAA team out there. This season is going to be cancelled anyway. 

No it wont

What did fans do? Players literally have a union and have the right to opt out. They are choosing to play and be there; no guns held to their head.

Most fans supported this. It was a an incredibly irresponsible idea in the first place. Real good fuckin example to send to the rest of the world. Baseball is more important than the pandemic. 

I dunno guys come out in the WBC too and throw hard. It's part of being an athlete man.  These guys want to play, for the most part.

Kopech might be a secret genius.

I remember when some were saying there was no extra risk and blah blah.

Kopech looks really brilliant right now.

A special shout out to ownership for dragging this out so long that an adequate spring training wasn't possible.  I wonder how they feel watch their assets get trashed with injuries that didn't need to happen?

You are not wrong ?...

Honestly just lmao at this “pandemic”.  Vast majority of positives are asymptomatic and the overall death rate is barely more than the normal flu.  But yeah lets just stop life for the next 6 years till we have a vaccine

Can we get a groin check going in the chat?

Lmfao 

Or it could simply be that trying to THROW 95-103 MPH cheese wasn't meant for the human elbow/shoulder to be a long-lasting proposition...

How many pitcher's careers are going to be ruined because of this fake ass "season?" This is such bullshit. 

A few.  The rash of UCL is not related. Lopez shoulder could be.

I didn't think baseball should be played, but these guys literally got approval from the government (shouldn't have), and then collectively bargained a season. 

Somehow you're angry at the fans for watching the product and enjoying entertainment - in their homes - during a pandemic.... all the while you're on a message board posting about the very game and season you said people shouldn't support/follow and etc.

What about this season is causing more pitching injuries than we see every year?

No real Spring training. A delayed start. Guys got ready, sat and rushed back. It's not a great thing to do to pitcher's arms. Clearly.

Keep this out of the game thread, we have a covid thread on the SLaM board just for this.

Dayum.

great job foster!
