    I fully expected to come up empty that inning.
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    And each inning will start with the bases loaded.

    I'm glad that Kevin Burkhardt doesn't say Jay-or-reese.

    I've been watching on tivo delay and zipping through the commercials. Just now got caught up to real time. It wasn't until the fifth inning that I realized that I was listening to Kevin Burkhardt.

    Let's enjoy each game that gets played as much as we can.
  6. Benjamin Grimm
    That's a good idea. Then you can instead use him on games when he doesn't pitch, and since he's so good it would increase our chances of winning!

    If he hadn't already died he'd probably be dead by now.

    I would have given deGrom another inning, and the same for Betances. Betances had only pitched to one batter. I don't see why they took him out. Managers should conserve their relievers, especially in a DH game where pinch-hitting isn't a factor, in case the game goes into extra innings.
  9. Benjamin Grimm
    What if the bullpen guys give up four or five runs in those first few innings? Do you bring deGrom into a game in the fourth inning when you're losing 5-0? Or save him and try again tomorrow?

    It means "Flood Forecasting System", for fuck's sake. Sheesh.

    Do they cancel games because of strained hamstrings?
  13. Benjamin Grimm
    I didn't realize that there were any restrictions on who could opt in and when. I've seen speculation that there are some players who may opt out in the first few weeks once they meet certain service-time milestones.

    I'm going to offer Delin Betances ten bucks to hit a batter the next time he's in a game.

    =nymr83 post_id=41998 time=1595976360 user_id=54] Atlanta DFAs Mike Foltynewicz - should the Mets be interested? I'd love to bring him in and see if he has anything left.

It won't happen of course as a "bubble" set up was the first thing the player's assoc rejected. And the proposed "bubbles" were in Florida and Arizona (and Texas), states where the disease is thriving. According to some reports, the commissioner has the ability to change venues as necessary, so he may be able to impose a limited bubble for the Eastern Division teams. There's no need (at present) to move the Orioles or Nationals or Red Sox or Blue Jays or Mets or Yankees or Phillies, but he should definitely be considering moving the Rays and maybe the Braves if he can. And the Marlins too, if they still exist.

There's really no other alternative. It wouldn't be nearly the worst decision that has been made about the 2020 season. They're also talking about the Yankees and Orioles playing each other instead of the Phillies and Marlins, respectively. This actually makes a lot of sense. The teams that aren't directly impacted might as well get games in while they can. The future dates when the Yankees would have played the Orioles might then be used to have them get in the games with the Phillies and Marlins. (Easier said than done, of course, because that would impact whoever the Phillies and Marlins would have been playing on those dates.) This is all insane. It would actually be kind of fun if not for the annoying fact that people's lives and health are at risk.

    The Daily News is reporting that four more Marlins have COVID as of today, and that the Nationals players have voted against going to Miami for their upcoming weekend series. https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/ny-marlins-coronavirus-20200728-f6mvwcygczdvtkuuxa24fdlhy4-story.htmlhttps://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/ny-marlins-coronavirus-20200728-f6mvwcygczdvtkuuxa24fdlhy4-story.html

    Well, apparently MLB plans to soldier on, at least for now. I haven't seen very much about makeup games. The Marlins could, in theory, play two doubleheaders against the Orioles in Baltimore on Wednesday and Thursday, and the Yankees and Phillies can do the same in the Bronx. But I'm getting the sense that that's not going to happen. There's really no room in the schedule to make up these games. Assuming the season completes, I suppose the Yankees, Phillies, Marlins, and Orioles will be ranked in the standings with 58 games played instead of 60. This is also assuming that these are the only four games that will be canceled, which doesn't seem at all likely. I can easily see a scenario where the season ends with a wide disparity of games played among the 30 teams, and also among the 16 playoff teams. And we'll just have to accept that this is the way it is in this unorthodox season.

    Having a rod in your head sounds painful.

    Nine hours until game time and tonight's starter has not yet been announced.
