This is how I watch the World Series every year anyway, it makes zero difference to a lot of us

On an individual statistical level, I think you'd have to throw away the season. Not just closers, but every player. There are so many factors (many of which are weather-related) that will make the offensive environment markedly different from any other season. That said, I hope they get it done. Passan's piece is very encouraging and I suggest you all read it. Getting CDC approval was a major step and they seem to have planned this out really well. It would be cool to see the electronic strike zone in action too

Great job with the jinx, @hi8is!

Clearly, the guy is just here to get people riled up with illogical whataboutisms, and he's not much better during baseball season. The sooner people realize this and stop quoting him, the less we who have him ignored have to read his nonsense

I don't know if it's the circumstances of the pandemic making me easier to please or if I misjudged your comedic traits in the past, but your humorous retorts have truly been a pleasure to read lately

Asylum-seekers aren't illegal and making something bold doesn't make it true

Why this isn't universally agreed upon is beyond me.

Relevant: Coronavirus will change the world permanently. Here's how.

That's interesting. In the western suburbs of Chicago, I still haven't been able to find soap, hand sanitizer, any cleaning supplies, toilet paper, etc. for a few weeks. Luckily I had all of it well before this hit, so I'll be fine, but I'm surprised that your stores are already back to normal.

Honestly, I wouldn’t even waste your time responding to trolls/conspiracy theorists, especially given what you’ve been through and the great info you’ve been providing us. People like that will believe what they want to believe no matter what anyone else can say, unfortunately

Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor.

After a few days of refusal, my school (University of Chicago) is finally moving to online classes once our finals weeks (now and next week) are over, but no word on how they plan to do so without screwing over international students. Seems like every major college is beginning to do the same now.

Won't teams be flying back and forth from Florida and Arizona though, unless they change the schedule?

What I'm struggling to understand (and it's an idea I'm seeing more on Twitter than here) is how playing games at neutral sites or in Arizona is any better than playing games as scheduled but with no crowds

Agreed. I think he's gonna be the main in-season acquisition

No it's not

It's always interesting to see how eternal pessimists can find inventive ways to contort undeniably good news

The odds of the White Sox not being fully aware of this hypothetical Moncada "injury" before guaranteeing him $70 million are 0.

6/90 is nice. I expected 6/100-105. Now do Giolito
