They’ll never go backwards on this. Dummies.

Who knows. Maybe Gio wants to get in a game with the Sox, and then he hangs em up? I know that may be a stretch, but he’s not getting younger, and his arm health has been in question. He has said it means a lot to him to pitch at least one game with the team that drafted him.

Really hope Mazara is back in a couple weeks. First, because of his health. But also I think he’ll be missed if he’s out too long. A month from now: in- Mazara, Madrigal, Goins out- Detwiler, Lambert, Herrera, Cordero, Cuthbert, Delmonico, Collins It’ll never really happen like this, but what the hey... edit: Goins out, Cordero in. They’ll stick with 13 pitchers when it’s down to 26.

I don’t think I ever once thought he’d make it.

Ha, when I saw the A’s released Goins, I had a feeling he’d be back.

Twins series Berrios- Giolito Hill- Keuchel (crafty lefty day) Maeda- Lopez

Lopez is starting Sunday Cease, Rodon, Giolito in Cleveland

A lot of teams have tweeted their rosters in the last hour. Soooo...., (at most, only 5 teams haven’t announced. C’mon Sox)

I totally think they’ll be greedy enough to keep it going after this season. (If it passes) Keeping the postseason the same this year would make the 60-game season more exciting and legitimate. When you make the playoffs in baseball, it’s supposed to feel great. When you come up a game or two short, it’s supposed to hurt. That’s part of the baseball fan experience. Just letting every mediocre team in would be boring.

Agreed, but then why do it at all? There will be under .500 teams at 8 in each league, more than likely. 6 in each league this year, I would have totally understood. 8 in each league...dumb. Teams picking their opponent...dumber.

Giolito-Berrios. Let’s go!

I lol’d because there was already a thread on it that became goofy.

I looked it up. You are correct, sir. Thanks.

Are 30-mans set at a certain time tomorrow?

He’s been doing Friday and Saturday night, mostly with Jessica Mendoza. I would assume that’s done now.

There have been more surprising moves in baseball the past week if the Sox just cut Fulmer and went with Dunning or Heuer. But we’ll see.

He’ll pitch. He may not be good, but the day is coming next week.

Will they go back to 10 total next year? Promise that. That’s my concern. It’s supposed to be really hard to make the playoffs in baseball.

Not the point. I’m a baseball fan. I want smart decisions, not stupid ones.

Yeah, great. Who gives a shit about the first week? If you’re mediocre just wait until September 30th. Lame.

Dadgummit!!! No, no!!

I’m not sure what the player rules are, but they were all wearing them in the auxiliary dugout, except Collins wasn’t.

I just hope they’re trying to follow the rules. Nothing is foolproof, but I’ve seen high fives, fist bumps, spitting, and coaches with masks off (or on wrong). So, if there are rules, they should be policing each other non stop.

Watching a little of the game there tonight. Definitely different, but they should be there for a while. They needed a roof.

If the league isn’t decimated by Covid, I’ll view it as a legit season, just shorter...and different. Unfortunately, if the teams in the World Series haven’t been good in recent years, more people will view it as an asterisk season, but nothing you can do about that. As for individual accomplishments, I’m not really interested. Batting .400 would be a footnote. It’s more of a team game this season.
