Ignore him. Apparently someone in baseball getting hurt is funny because of the team theyre on but in the same breath a football player getting suspendedfor using a helmet as a weapon is okay.

I didn’t say that.

I have never once said hitting someone with a helmet is ok. I said it wasn’t worthy of a lifetime ban and he should/would get a 6 game suspension.

And I was correct.

If you’re going to make baseless accusations and lie about things, bring receipts.

Even if it is basically a fake season.. practice for 2021...

Nothing fake about it, if, big IF, the season actually concludes with a World Series it all counts.

Now if Yu Darvish can figure out the league figured him out and he needs to adapt I can safely predict my Cubbies will win this years World Series.

Marlins had 4 more test positive which brings their total to 17.

If they haven’t already, the MLB needs to expedite testing for the Atlanta Braves, who the Marlins scrimmaged with last week.

At some point, the MLB is going to have to make the call that postseason contention will be on a winning percentage basis, even with teams playing a different total of games.

I would assume they’d install a threshold teams have to hit (45 games played? 50? 52? That’s up for debate).

 

[Tony Perkis]

And not surprising.

We have already had some guys test positive leading up to the season. But yeah, need to test again.

In other Braves news: Mike Foltynewicz was DFA'd after another rough performance last night. Hope he can find his stuff again somewhere.

Marlins shut down through Sunday, Phillies shut down through Thursday.

NYY will play at Baltimore Wednesday and Thursday

 

[Tony Perkis]

Idiots.

If true, it means that the protocols aren’t fundamentally broken, and serves as a cautionary tale for other teams.

 

[Tony Perkis]

God bless Joe Kelly.

Spoiler

I’m sure a few of you here will find a way to whine about this comment, as well.

i’m sure the ball just got away from him

Ain't it a load of crazy.

So odd seeing Bumgarner pitching in a D-Backs uniform after all his years and championships as a Giant.

For anyone keeping track at home:

Opposing pitchers vs. Astros suspended: 1

Astros players in the cheating scandal suspended: 0

Rob Manfred is a joke.
