This season needs to end September 27th, no game 61's Ties would make it less likely that two teams end with the same record, wouldn't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 3 minutes ago, Kyyle23 said: I dunno seems like it would produce a lot of ties. About 9% of games go to extra innings. So you're talking about - on average - 5 ties per team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodon has an infant daughter, but beyond that I don't think so. Ashley Rodon was pretty open on social media about her difficulties getting pregnant, so if anyone on the Sox might opt out it's him. I don't even follow them on Twitter, but I know from following Sox related stuff. Edited June 24, 2020 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I honestly think this is fun. We've all seen plenty of your typical baseball seasons. We will all see plenty more of them. It's something different this year. Try to enjoy it. It will go back to normal, don't worry. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The Sox will need to play well against the Tigers and Royals and pile up some wins. I assume the interleague schedule might be tough playing I would think against the Brewers, Cardinals, Cubbies and Reds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes it kind of exciting. Games start really mattering immediately. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three have kids on the way or have newborns. I doubt any of the big names opt out. These guys will feel an obligation to their teammates to play.

DoUEvenShift Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 So much negativity in the news for so many weeks/months. FINALLY some good news to end the streak. The best part of the announcement is the 30/28/26 roster which means my boi YERMIN will now for sure make the roster. 2020 COVID Home Run King. Grandwho?

Jose Abreu Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Luis Robert is a huge factor for the Sox. If he (understandably) comes out and struggles with the adjustment to MLB, strikes out 35% of the time, etc, and we're in the playoff hunt, I'm not sure what we do. Sure, there's always Leury, but Robert's development is more important than almost anything for us. On the other hand, if he comes out of the gates like Acuna and is the ROY, I think we make the playoffs. My biggest concern going into this season (in March) was pitching, but with 7 hopefully healthy MLB caliber starters out of the gate, I feel confident in our depth for a change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I like our chances as much as any other team. Our pitching depth is fantastic. Home runs will be huge, maybe huger than they were last year. I know. the frikkin Twins.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 One of the new rules is “no contact during celebrations - no hugs, no high fives, fist bumps, etc.” This year it’s going to be so strange watching baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually play a smaller portion of our games against the Tigers & Royals and now we play all our non divisional games against a pretty stacked NL Central.
