ZeroTolerance 582 Posted July 26, 2020 Damnit, Yahoo. Moved Bruce into my lineup for Choo before I got busy with other things, come back and see it didn't accept it and Bruce of all people hits a triple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookz 1,287 Posted July 27, 2020 Oh crudness, just got an alert that I had players in my lineup for a postponed game: Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers of ESPN are reporting that eight more Marlins players and two coaches have tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the Marlins have postponed their home opener against the Orioles on Monday. The team has delayed their travel back to Philadelphia while trying to control the situation. This news comes just one day after it was learned that four players (reportedly including Jose Urena, Garrett Cooper, and Harold Ramirez) tested positive on Sunday. It was always going to be a challenge to pull off a season amid a pandemic, but MLB made it just three days before an outbreak presented itself within a clubhouse. Even with expanded rosters, taxi squads, and players staying ready at alternate training sites, it's fair to question how sustainable this all is and what the breaking point might be for MLB. This is a definitive day for the sport. Related: Baltimore Orioles Source: Jeff Passan on Twitter Jul 27, 2020, 9:05 AM ET Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted July 27, 2020 yikes. there is a large part of me hoping this season continues without any major hitches. This is all due to feeling that the Rays have one of the best pitching staffs in MLB and can easily make the playoffs in a shortened season. Get into the dance with Morton-Snell-Glasnow and that bullpen.... Im not saying they are better than the Yanks, or Astros but I don't want to see the window close. Charlie morton isn't getting any younger and has already spoken about retirement. Austin Meadows probably wont be cheapish for much longer. We still have a nice farm system as usual but a wasted year seems to sting more for the small market guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, within 2 days of each other I heard Cespedes just walked out on his team and then E-Rod has been put on the shelf for the season with a heart condition that may be a result of the VID...this season is a bust for me...

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted August 6, 2020 its a bust for everyone really. Knowing that we didnt get a real, full season.... knowing that some teams are going to go through covid hardships more than others (this is why we need a midseason supplemental still).... and most importantly, we lost Ted. I think at this point its just to have a little fun. Someone will win the title with the * next to it. I'll still cherish it if I magically win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm with you. The sports seasons, in the midst of everything that is going on aren't achieving what I think they'd hoped to achieve.
