Brad Posted August 1, 2020 Report Posted August 1, 2020 Manfred has indicated the season will continue: “no reason to quit now.” Rob Manfred says 2020 MLB season will move forward despite COVID-19 issues Quote
ghost of miles Posted August 2, 2020 Report Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) This is weird and slightly concerning: https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-yoneis-cespedes-missing-20200802-o3qkwtymgfdxhnksv6mfowel7i-story.html EDIT: I am pasting in the link because, once again, embedding it in the standard manner only loops me back to this thread. Is anybody else encountering this issue? Edited August 2, 2020 by ghost of miles Quote

Brad Posted August 2, 2020 Report Posted August 2, 2020 You can’t make this shit up. Céspedes doesn’t show up for the game today, probably slept in or whatever, and then he and his 160 average decide to opt out. If he was hitting 300 I’m positive he wouldn’t be opting out. Goodbye and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Quote

Goodbye and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Expand Yeah, and what a terrible way to do it. I saw a lot of concern from Mets fans online during the several hours when his whereabouts were being reported as unknown. Quote

ghost of miles Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 Aaron Judge currently on pace to hit 45 HRs in a 60-game season. Quote

Dave James Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 I know it's not baseball related, but Philadelphia Eagles' coach Doug Peterson, although he's currently asymptomatic, has tested positive for the virus. Of all the sports, football is easily the one that creates the most exposure. All things considered, I don't see how the NFL or the NCAA is going to be able to have a season. Quote
Matthew Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 Two San Francisco Giants facts beyond doubt: 1. The Giants defense is abysmal! 2. Gabe Kapler is a terrible manager. Quote

Matthew Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 On 8/4/2020 at 2:04 PM, Brad said: And here I thought the Mets were bad! MLB Fielding Statistics Expand And a lot of it goes back to Kapler, he's so in love with analytics, moving players around so that they wind up out of position or playing positions they're not familiar with, and so they do terrible. I could go on and on, but he's not totally to blame, the Giants front office is driving all of this, and I'm not all that keen on Farhan Zaidi either. Both Kapler & Zaidi need to get their heads out of a computer and look at players, not rely on stats all the time. Quote
JSngry Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 You have to either have players that fit your system or else a system that fit your players. Otherwise you're operating under the delusion that all you have to do is wite a wonderful score and then any band anywhere at anytime of any level with any skill set will be able to execute it brilliantly, and we all know that's pretty much a 100% fantasybullshit notion.

HutchFan Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 I'm so disappointed that Mike Soroka is out for the year with a torn Achilles. What a freak accident! Ugh!!! The Braves' starting rotation was already shaky. With Soroka gone, the likelihood of us doing anything this year just took a very sharp nosedive. Such a bummer ... Quote

Brad Posted August 10, 2020 Report Posted August 10, 2020 I see Horace Clarke has passed away. RIP. He was a good player (him and Jerry Kenney) on bad Yankee teams and had the bad luck to play for them when the Yankees entered the wasteland. Quote
Matthew Posted August 10, 2020 Report Posted August 10, 2020 Again, Astros' prove themselves classless and terrible for the 1,234,556 time. Quote

Expand I know from having lived in Uruguay and Spain and stories that you don’t say something about a Latin person’s mother, unless you’re really asking for trouble. Even in jest saying something like “tu madre” is a recipe for trouble. Edited August 10, 2020 by Brad Quote
JSngry Posted August 10, 2020 Report Posted August 10, 2020 Alex Cintron 100% knew what he was doing. It's not like he grew up in Iceland or someplace and got pranked by his teammates while still learning the ways of the world. Quote

He was a good player (him and Jerry Kenney) on bad Yankee teams and had the bad luck to play for them when the Yankees entered the wasteland. Expand Aw, damn. Horace Clarke, oddly enough, is one of the reasons I became a Yankees fan in the first place—his card was at the front of a deck of Topps cards that I bought in 1974. And yeah, definitely an emblematic player from that late 1960s/early 70s era of mediocrity. Quote
