Why would you want the stock market to bust? Got all your money invested in Funko Pops?

Don't think we have to worry about Roch getting hired away by The Athletic.

Any idea if the wind increased the difficulty of the play?

Throwing in a controlled, instead of game, environment.

Roch seems like he's having a rough spring.

MLB should already have stacks of contingency plans to cover various disturbances.

Sure, but any talk of modifying the season is incredibly premature.

There are 14 confirmed cases in the US. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html

He's bald?

Obviously exceptions exist on both ends of the spectrum. I was speaking of the average player.

You think guys in the 50's worked harder than today's players? You have seen how a whole bunch of these guys have spent the offseason improving their games right? I think a '50's work ethic would include showing up to camp out of shape, not lifting weights and getting drunk on a regular basis during the season. They most certainly didn't spend time in the video room breaking down footage.

We like some of the same stuff.

Sarasota is out of my lurk range.

He was openly critical of both Peter and Dan. No reason for that to carry over tho.

Quite a world we live in when you can clearly and simply state something and folks will still interpret it for you.

Everyone won't be shocked.

Alford stole all three in one inning.

How many does he have?

Sure, I'm on the bandwagon. I just don't like the apparent service games for a borderline top 100 guy.

Givens. Rumored? Trade. It wasn't up long.

I'm curious if we will see Givens. Anyone else see a deleted thread this morning?

I can see omitting Mountcastle. He's a RH bat that doesn't currently have a defensive position and has plate discipline concerns. How valuable is he as a DH that has a 310 OBP?

I'm comparing them to steroids since in both cases, the behavior had been present for an extended period of time and fans, at least observant ones, knew that it was going on. Sure we might not have known the scope of it, but we knew teams were doing it. As for possibly ending someone's career? Yea, I'm dismissive of the possibility. I don't think a bad beat by the Astros was the deciding factor in anyone losing out on a ML career. If your margin for error is one bad beat you aren't going to have much of a career. Also, Gausman isn't out of baseball, he isn't even out of orange and black (and making 9M).

You know Buck wouldn't have pitched Means.

If he does that they can trade him for a couple 17 year old Dominicans.
