He looks like he's expecting the season to be cancelled.

Nats cancelled their workout today because they dont have test results back

Cardinals delayed today's workout for UNKNOWN REASONS

Seems like MLB (and fans like me) may have celebrated that mass test result a little early. Wonder if that even included all the players, since we keep learning of new positives and/or suspected positives.

markakis opted out.

I guess the Barves are gonna be Acuna, Ozuna and a bunch of minor leaguers this year

48 wins

So, what happens if an entire franchise says, fuck it, it's not safe, we're not doing this?

The more likely outcome is a team travels and playa despite not having their tests back.

Joey Gallo tested positive

Cancelled theirs too. Lack of testing results

Something I noticed during the schedule release: Reds/Indians isn't a natural rivalry this year. They're only playing 2H/2A instead of the expected 3H/3A. The rivalries are Reds/Tigers and Pirates/Indians instead

I don't understand the games played imbalance between leagues. Shirley it wouldn't have been that hard to schedule every team four times vs. each team.

Probably did this to give the Pirates a “natural rivalry”. It’s good with me. I’m happy that MLB didn’t go for the Phillies-Pirates for a “Battle of Pennsylvania” schtick.

Shit.

Think umpire Joe West is going to opt out of the 2020 season?

Think again.

“If this game hasn’t gotten me by now, no virus is going to get me,” West said on Monday night. “I’ve weathered a bunch of storms in my life. I’ll weather another one.”

Major League Baseball determined West to be high-risk for COVID-19. The league is offering full pay and service time to high-risk umpires who choose not to work, just as it is for high-risk players. But West, 67, told deputy commissioner Dan Halem on Sunday afternoon that he planned to return for his 42nd season, extending the longest umpiring career in major-league history.

High risk of being a terrible ump.

What a choad

Yeah, that sucks. Hopefully T-Mobile gives their customers (me!) free subscriptions like they've been doing for a while now.
