Funchess opted out. Lol, there goes literally the only thing we did to address our receiver depth for 2020.
-
No, I understand that. There's fear and anxiety across all classes right now, but what I'm saying is, unlike many of us, a lot of these guys had control over their situation. They had access to all the information and they knew the risks, and they didn't want to be inconvenienced by a bubble. So either stay home, and that's fine, or play, and that's fine. But don't be sitting here waffling 4 days into it and saying you're day to day deciding whether to stay or not just because there was an unsurprising outbreak in another clubhouse. That's crap, IMO. You chose this. Nothing has changed about this pandemic since opening day.
-
Again it's understandable to have those fears and if they want to go home, go home. But seriously, what did they think was going to happen? They wanted to play but didn't want to do the bubble plan. These guys are talking out of both sides of their mouth, they want to be kept safe, but they want their freedoms. Did they really think they were all going to hang out and travel together and nothing like this was going to happen? They are naive if they are surprised about this. If they wanted to opt out of it, they should have done so from the beginning. And just be glad you have that option. Many of us have fears and anxiety about it. Most of us don't have the luxury of even getting to decide whether it's worth the risk or not. We have to work to survive, you do not. (Braun and many other MLBers)

Who wants to break it to him? Hey, I gotta get up at 4:30. I can't stay and hope for a rally every night. But, great win.
-
Time to go to bed.
-
Gyorko was at least 50/50 on going around. Probably should have asked for help, but don't have a big problem on him being rung up on the swing. This offense resembles a wet fart.
-
Braun is really tough to watch right now.
-
Sick base running on display. Not much he could do anyway. Not like Pina is going to get out of a rundown.
-
Counsell's expectations of Eric Sogard always seem to exceed Sogard's actual ability.
-
That was a great play by Keston. Enjoy the great defense from Hiura when you can get it.
-
I would have added provisions for where you can just cancel games without rescheduling when things like this occur down to a minimum of 50 or so games per team, then still take the 8 per league on winning percentage. It would not have been the cleanest way of doing it but at least with no fans it wouldn't be logistically difficult.

What Plush and Snapper said. I have no love for Manfred, but every player playing is a willing participant in the system that MLB put in place for 2020. Every one had the option to leave the money on the table and stay home. They also had the Arizona bubble option and didn't want to go that route. There's nothing MLB can do to ensure these guys don't contract COVID. You can't complain about both your freedoms and your safety being compromised. Pick the one that you want and conduct yourself that way, boys. You're still responsible for yourselves. MLB cannot assign an individual spy for each player to ensure they fully comply with social distancing.
-
I'm betting that Manfred and the owners know that there is a chance that this season doesn't make it all the way through. That doesn't mean the plan was doomed from the start, but there is a less than 100% chance that this season makes it to completion. Definitely less than 100% that it's completed. But having it cancelled 3 games in would be a total failure.
-
Stinks, but the consensus is that our season was over in September last year when Yelich broke his kneecap. We proceeded to play our best ball of the year. I believe we were missing Woodruff as well. In this case at least when guys are lost they won't be lost for ths season and (should?) not have to worry about COVID individually for the rest of the season.
-
I remain shocked that people remain shocked every time there is a localized outbreak of COVID-19. I think we know well enough by now that it has and will continue to spread like wildfire and one would assume there have been contingencies put in place for this exact scenario -- ie, 60 man rosters. If the season is cancelled now, the restart plan was a terrible one and doomed to fail from the start.
-
Yeah, stuff like this will be going on all season, and hopefully no one is going to become seriously ill. What will be interesting to see is if the early guys who have already been through this ever end up getting it again, or if their immunity lasts at least through the season.
-
Well, 8 teams out of 15 are making it in each league. Stands to reason that when more than half of the teams are in, .500 or slightly under is very possible. Larger schedule but 8th in the AL last year would have been the Rangers at 78-84 and in the NL the Cubs at 84-78.
-
1 run and 3 hits with the wind blowing out at Wrigley and Tyler Chatwood on the mound. That is not an easy accomplishment.
-
Well, that's enough of this crapfest.
-
The flip side of that is you probably only need 30 wins to make the playoffs this year. But yeah, they look like they just started spring training this weekend.
-
Walk guys to leadoff the inning, pay the price. Not a great outing from Peralta. I still like him much better coming out of the pen.
-
It's Tyler Chatwood. Come on guys, get something going.
-
Did we really have any stars opt out at all? Stars of today, not 5 years ago like Price and Posey. Understandably some guys chose to stay home but it's good to see that any concerns that all the big names were just going to sit this one out in 2020 and we'd have a watered down product turned out to be unfounded.
-
Presumably he will be fine eventually. But in a short season they can’t afford a month long slump from him because there isn’t anyone like Moustakas or Grandal to carry the team for a week or two. Well, Narvaez is about a wash with Grandal offensively. Keston should be one of those guys, too. A .938 OPS in 348 plate appearances last year is enough to sell me. It's true that they don't have a lot of offensive studs besides those guys, but they do have numerous guys who should project in the average to somewhat above average territory offensively. The nice thing they have this year as opposed to previous years is a ton of IF depth to where they can mix and match a lot and avoid having to ride cold bats. Also keep in mind 30-30 is probably good enough for the playoffs this year and aside from the Dodgers who are usually head and shoulders better on paper than everyone else, 2-8 in the NL is pretty much a crapshoot.

Not sure how that's not a strike?
