goose Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Wait, a Dodgers-Astros bench-clearing beanball (perceived) incident in a COVID-empty stadium? Just how stupid are these people? Dusty Baker face to face yelling at the umpire? Announcers noting that "they're doing it the right way" since they have masks on.

Disk98 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not a fan of 16 teams in the playoffs. The regular season—especially such a short one—means nothing now, since more than half the league will make it in the end. As long as you don’t totally suck, you’re in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Manfred is a gutless f***ing pussy.Throwing at someone's head = doing nothing? He wasn't close with any of them. So yes. Nothing. Certainly not worthy of the longest suspension ever given to a relief pitcher. It's the equivalent of a 22 game suspension. That's ridiculous.

I would have suspended them for a year, or possibly more. Doesn't excuse throwing at people's heads. Nothing does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Cardinals game postponed, positive test. Possibly more than one. Move to hub format or cancel season ffs.If we're going to cancel games based on one positive test (which could even be a false positive, the tests aren't perfect), just cancel the season already. There's far too many gimmicks involved already and 7 inning doubleheaders and the extra inning rule make this too dissimilar to real baseball that any championship should come with an asterisk anyway.

The extra inning and DH rules make me want to vomit but at least it's some baseball. Sorry bud. Heyman just tweeted multiple positive tests which means the Twins are very possibly infected also. We know how the other leagues handle this. Let's see what the league run by a militant union does. The solution is simple. Hub. Edit,Manfred just warned union to shape up or season is toast.

But individuals will place them on their personal lists, or consider it not to be legitimate, just as many fans do with Bonds' records, or edter does when someone other than the Yankees win the title.
