I like it. A couple of games over .500 probably gets a playoff invitation. Also, great for development of young guys playing decent opponents every day. We also have exceptional depth at both starting pitching and catchers. Like our chances of making something interesting out of this crazy season.

Absoluterly! Two solid catchers is a luxury under normal conditions. In this compressed season format... an absolute advantage.

In many ways a fun division to watch. Far better baseball to watch and great competition for our young guys to hone their skills against. It's a fact that competing at a higher level improves you own skills.

Washington Insiders!

I would love to know the amount of wealth Trump has acquired for the term of his Presidency compared to Obama and Clinton. I bet it would be eye opening.

You guys with your conspiracy theories are just plan nuts.

Agreed,,. and add MLB,TV to blessings for an out of state fan.

Admire his show of class.

Do any of you Republicans think Trump is doing a bad job with this crisis? Do any of you Democrats think Trump is doing a good job with this crisis? I didn't think so...carry on!

I am in the same boat. Presumably they are waiting to prorate refunds based on what's left of the season. I see Boras is promoting a season with all 162 games played with playoffs in December in warm weather and dome locals. Others promoting a bunch of double headers with 7 inning games. Nothing yet set in stone.

You prove my point. Thanks

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." FDR Frequently quoted as an example of leadership as the President tried to give hope and courage to the American people. It obviously wasn't a true or accurate statement. Trump has been trying to give people the hope that the end of this pandemic is nearer than most think. People hear what they want to hear. No minds are being changed.

The people who liked Trump before this ever started...still think he is doing a great job. Those who couldn't stand Trump before this started...still blame him for this terrible situation. Not one mind has been changed. Big surprise!

Ain't that the truth.

Anyone know what MLB-TV is doing about refunds based on lack of broadcast?

I don't have any new thoughts on how to protect yourself other than what the Doc's are saying on TV...but wanted to congratulate you on the new job. You are one of the few getting some good news these days.

Can the players?

Last year with a week left in ST...Eloy was moved to the minor league complex...shortly after he was extended and the rest is history. I think we might see the same thing happen with Madrigal next week. Of course...we could just put him on the big club without the extension. Main point is that Madrigal is the best 2nd baseman we have and I expect RH will want to have the best team on the field for OD.

Last week while playing the Cubs...one of their announcers described the Sox as a small market team in a large market city. We definitely need a "culture change".

Injuries can change a lot of needs...including our own.

One of the few games with little entertainment value. ST is really long.?

True...but he could easily be the best catcher available for a contender in need. In any event...a "quality" bullpen arm would be my asking price if and when a deal happens.

Upset...yes. It is still in the best interest of McCann to have his best season possible. With Collins getting more experience at AAA...the trade deadline might work for McCann and the FO. McCann isn't going anywhere just to make him happy. He is a very valuable player on a contending team.

Ump not doing Anderson any favors.

I just hope we don't Alonso it if indeed this is the end for EE. We have others who can do the job if EE can't. Some patience is OK but don't wait until the horse is out of the barn.
