It's good that they're being safe with all the health concerns, but I am disappointed. Our AAA team will have a lot of interesting prospects that I was looking forward to tracking in April. It seems the alternate site will return at least for the beginning of the season.

Just completely and utterly sucks...

Ridiculous that they've had all off season to get this straight. There is no reason at ALL to not start the season on time with limited fans in the stands if need be.

Yep..it’s just flat out dumb.  Of course, that pretty much describes the last years worth of decisions as well, so why should this be any different?

I do wonder how this impacts bringing players up?  Maybe they get enough work in during the month of April to where this doesn’t make a difference but I suspect it will hurt some.

Hell, just have complex Leagues then in Florida and Arizona if travel is going to be an issue early on. 

It shouldn't be a problem now, but this zero risk culture we are being forced to live in now makes every league scared to do anything. 

But, considering how late they made the decisions on the new leagues it's not overly surprising that MLB is slow to make decisions on the minor leagues. 

We live in a goofy world right now.

Why would there be any restrictions on allowing people who have had the vaccine into the games starting now?

They waited forever to release the schedules, then decide to delay after releasing them. Makes no sense.

From what I have heard you can still spread the disease even if you have been vaccinated.

More accurately, they haven’t determined whether you can spread it or not (and if so, to what extent).   So they’re playing it safe until they can make that determination.   Also, the calculation changes as more people get vaccinated and the cases/hospitalizations/deaths go down.   Even if a vaccinated person can spread the disease, the chances of that happening are less if the number of newly infected people is down.

      If you're going to cry, you could at least be factually correct about the things you're crying about.

      Agree. Unfortunately, they sucked more when he caught.

      I was just asking for clarification.  So it seems you're asking for changes that aren't able to be implemented in the off-season and can't be evaluated well into next season. That's fine so long as you're ready to be disappointed this off-season.

      I don’t think the OH brother ship can be categorized as the “average fan”.    I think posters here are quite a bit beyond. I don’t think the average fan is regularly posting on a fan site

      The One Trophy Blues

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Drungo's One Trophy label for the setup of US sports playoffs was new lingo to me recently, and Adley and Gunnar have a long way to go to get near the Active WAR leaders, who also in brilliant careers have zero dogpiles.     Many of them this week we get to see killing themselves for one taste.     Rundown of the top notables, with career rWAR as the top tier of 2024 Clubs begin play today. 86, Mike Trout - his life is his to do with as he chooses, but as a baseball fan I'm rooting for him to go another path before it is too late. 62, Paul Goldschmidt - way past peak.    The 2025 Orioles may be one of few teams with very high playoff odds to want him for a starting role if a Zero Ryan path is charted.    Much more so than any current Oriole, he's been what we hope Coby Mayo might become. 57, Manny Machado - a yardstick of the Dodgers' greatness.    Players like him or Trea Turner or Corey Seager, Andrew Friedman's judgment sometimes is "Nah, not good enough". 56, Nolan Arenado - guaranteed 3/74 on the rest of his contract, perhaps waiting for a buy-side trade.     Declared lame duck GM scenarios are unusual. 52, Jose Ramirez - a player who has devoted himself to one small-market team, and that Club's unquestioned leader, something the Orioles don't have yet.      Some of Adley's teammates and ex-teammates might be salty about recent choices. 52, Aaron Judge - an amazing early 30's peak - problems for the Orioles if he endures like Nelson Cruz or Barry Bonds.    Career health track record has some dings. 51, Bryce Harper - a Manny Machado bookend in my baseball fandom.    They've grown from brash kids to serious professionals - both played much of 2024 less than 100% same as Adley. 49, Francisco Lindor - so close along with Jose Ramirez against the Bryant/Rizzo/Hyde Cubs.     The back strain poetic considering the carrying he's been doing as David Stearns gets ready for his first full off-season running Steve Cohen's club. 49, Andrew McCutchen - nearly the Jose Ramirez of the Pirates.   Nice to see him winding down respectably there.    I'll have generally good wishes for him if he pushes to get to be Paul Skenes teammate for a full season. 44, Giancarlo Stanton - he is upright today, the main thing Brian Cashman cares about.    rWAR has his last 3 seasons worth less than 1 WAR. 43, Shohei Ohtani - one of the greatest players ever has made some choices none of these other greats have to try and tilt the odds in his favor.    His MLB postseason debut is tonight.    Kind of a fun fact rWAR this moment has him at half Trout. It is possible none of these guys escape this list if the Royals or Tigers come through.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Rogers 🤮   if we have that rotation I’m betting our win total takes another 5-10 game step backwards
