IGT KBO 2020: Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
ashie62 replied to G-Fafif's topic in Archived Game Threads
This is preparing me for oddness in MLB. How many games will employ bullpen openers? Many! Too many -

I'm a real Nobody Man sitting in an empty baseball land Hoping one day the Metsies come to play..da..da -
I'm still calling it Shea. Can't help it. Been at Shea over all decades. It's in my blood Yes, Harvey gave us excitement. The IGT "Harvey Day" and on until it didn't. I wish Matt well

If they play a 3 division league of 2020 Baseball it very well may be with 3 arbitrary divisions and sequestered ballplayers. I don't know at what point you say this is all acceptable to get a season in. The economic pressure is intense for sure. The idea of players living in hotels and being regularly tested for Covid bothers me. I think of all those people that could be, and should be tested who cannot and the MLB plan then feels hollow It is reasonable to speculate that some changes made to acomodate a 2020 season will stick in 2021 and beyond I've always had mixed feelings about the DH. I can remember Ron Blomberg starting it and as a kid thought the idea of an extra "hitter" was cool. As an adult I get very bored with pitchers taking many many more weak at bats than good. I don't particularly care about the strategy that goes with a non DH game, but thats just me I do like one league with, and one without the DH. Kinda like Vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Pick your flavor.

I'm good. It would be a new sort of war time baseball.

Almost an HOF

Where sports meets fantasy

That was great fun. Booth sounded a good as usual And to think, about zero time between pitches and done in an hour and a half Fun fun fun!

Will a lost season hurt deGrom's HOF chances?
ashie62 replied to batmagadanleadoff's topic in New York Mets Talk
I doubt it hurts or helps anyone. Pitchers run on mileage, so not much effect Compilers get dinged I guess -
4 1/2 months sequestered in an Arizona hotel playing baseball daily in intense heat. There are worse things

My fave

What a beatdown. What town do you live in Frank??
-
I don't see football, pro or college playing in 2020. Baseball?? One big tournament maybe

Thor was never really "all that." That Toronto Mets trade pretty much went down in flames
-
Matlack! Easy to remember the head shot he took, everything else added up to an A+ Mets career Darling 1986 WS Game 1 Alfonso, often underappreciated
-
Alex Delvecchio Red Wings to Canadiens?
-
Randy Niemann?
-
Dominic Smith?
-
I sure hope so. The economy may be so flattened that the economics of baseball will look wildly different Like, who the eff can afford tickets in many markets?
-
Wouldn't it stand to reason a couple of teams may not be able to handle the financial hit? Players still get paid I guess while MLB will possibly lose in the billions. Hoping for the best Just sayin...

Frayed Knot wrote: Gatherings of 50 or more people should be canceled or postponed for the next eight weeks in order to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, according to new guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “This recommendation is made in an attempt to reduce introduction of the virus into new communities and to slow the spread of infection in communities already affected by the virus,” the agency said. Now this sounds like nothing more than a suggestion at this point and will shirley be subject to review as conditions change. But even if it remains nothing more than a recommendation, it'll be tough for a big and public operation like MLB to just openly say; 'Yeah, we're not listening to you', and eight weeks would put us in the area of mid-May. 2021 Spring training is the next possible next port of call for MLB Getting it together in 8 weeks to play ball is a fantasy at this point

Agee and Gentry. Amazin!!
-
Uh, Ces has not appeared in any spring game as of yet? I am lost on how Lowrie is doing at this point also
-
Is it really worth trying to make up so many games?? For what purpose? Because they can?
