    While I like the Dodgers chances to make the playoffs, especially as expanded this year, I'd still bet against them to win it all.

    Same with any other single team, no matter how good they look.

    But hey, I was chatting this morning with an old friend who's been an Orioles fan for 50 years. He said "It's late July, and my Orioles are only a half-game back outta first place, and they're tied for a playoff spot!"

    What a crazy year.

    I'm excited for Opening Day. I have high hopes for my Twins. I know there is going to be a WTF playoff team this year.

    Any thoughts on who that team could be? White Sox? Anyone not the Pirates in the NL Central? The Mets?

    Braves didn't do bad considering they lost BOTH catchers to covid right before the game.

    Also all of their helmets have covid.

    Also the gatorade in the dugout is covid.

    Just imagine how ludicrous it would have been if this would have been the year the cubs won the world series.

    They would have never lived it down

    The guys on the atlanta broadcast were joking about how the team must hate him. It really is astounding. Happened to John Smoltz for a while. His ERA was like top 3 but he had a five hund record all year during a season the Braves won like 100 games.

    That’s why I don’t think wins as a stat should matter much for Cy Young voting.

    Fun game today. Ozuna made me love him. But another good pitcher's duel. Mets look better. Thinking more and more that they could make a run this year if they get the bats going.

    14 Marlins have tested positive. Their home opener is canceled because they’re staying in Philly now. Yankees come to Philly tonight, no word yet if that game is canceled. This could get bad quickly. Speculation is already spreading that MLB will have no choice but to shut down.

    Just read that the Marlins had to cancel their home opener, with 14 players and coaches testing positive.

    Who would have ever imagined that having people travel throughout a country that’s undergoing an increase in daily cases might turn out to be a bad idea. Even with the NHL the need for a bubble is still necessary despite Canada’s lower numbers.

    Rumor is MLB hasn’t considered it yet but I think they’re lying. One more outbreak is a definite cancel I think.

    There are also rumors the Marlins knew they had multiple players test positive and had a team meeting to decide to play anyways.

    As I was saying a while back, I honestly don't see this season finishing. And I no believe our football hopes are absolutely squashed. This shit is too easy to catch. Every day another few guys get it on seemingly every team. It's just all fucked.

    Pretty sure the season is just going to continuously wait on Justin Verlander to be ready to play..

    I'm good with that..

    i think it's even worse for football. if the QB gets it, who knows how long he's out. 2 weeks at minimum.

    Yeah football is fucked.

    Oh and I don't think we mentioned this earlier but MLB expanded the playoffs so that most teams will get in so really hoping to see a 42-18 Dodgers team get eliminated by a 28-32 Reds team in a short flukey series.

    Football is fucked just because it’s a contact sport. If it spreads during a baseball game there’s no chance it won’t spread during football, no matter how much you limit post game activities.

    ESPN is planning a show around the top four seeds in each league picking their matchups. First series is a best of three played entirely at the higher seed’s stadium. Three division winners, the three second place teams, and two wild cards. Could be interesting.

    Yeah it'll be fun...this year. But when (if) things go back to normal I don't want to see 8 teams in each league getting in.

    The whole point of the long season is to clearly decide who the good teams are. But yeah this year should be a hoot.

    I though the Astros were the clear winners of the delayed season. Let's see how long they'll be thrown at.

    It comes out to like 26 games or something during a 162 game season.

    Fucking bullshit. No one was hit or hurt except for the poor cheating Astros feelings.

    The rest of the league should call MLB's bluff and just keep hitting them every game. Make them suspend the whole league except the Astros because the Astros cheated.

    Did I hear on the radio correctly that 4 more Marlins tested positive? Or just that they cancelled a few more games?

    They canceled the Cardinals/Brewers game tonight because multiple members of the Cardinals team have tested positive. That’s six teams not playing tonight because of the virus. I don’t know how much longer baseball will be played this year.

    So far just two confirm cases. The Cardinals just played the Twins on Wednesday. The Indians were in the visitor's locker room last night. Might be trouble for all three teams.

    More Cardinals have tested positive. Apparently MLB has told the networks to prepare alternate programming for as early as
    Monday.

    They're thinking about 7-inning double-headers to help get them through the season.

    Aaron Judge is on quite a tear. He's healthy, and playing like one of the best players in the game. It's a shame he doesn't have a full season as it'd be fun to see him break Bond's HR record.

    I feel like MLB will plow ahead no matter what. They want that playoff game tv-rights money.

    Probably time to just pack up the cardinal franchise and chalk it up to another sports team the city cant manage.

    They should just go all in on hockey and call it a day.

    Could've happened to any team.

    You can take your scummy Cubs and wait another 90 years for a world title

    10 games in Wrigley vs Cubs

    Cubs play 0 in STL.

    2 wins is a solid start.

    Nothing about the Cardinals sits well with you really.

    Already same amount of wins as Pittsburgh which shouldn't make the Pirates feel too good.

    LeMahieu out now on the IL, with the thumb injury. Joining Judge, Stanton, Severino and Kahnle. Not many teams could lose players of that caliber and still be in first place.

    Good news is that Chappy is coming back as soon as tonight!

    True that. But I just hope seeing Judge & Stanton on the list is not a familiar thing.

    Thom Brennaman will hopefully be fired for using a homophobic slur on air.

    But, hilariously, he called a home run in the middle of his apology. And the ball was hit into the "judgement free zone"

    I need to start watching Brockmire again

    He issued the standard “apology” for these kinds of situations. “This is not who I am” and “I’m a man of faith.”

    Dude, you used a homophobic slur in a moment when you thought no one was listening. That’s exactly who you are. 100% chance this wasn’t the first time he’s used that word. It’s just the first time he got caught.

    Agreed. As a broadcaster, you have to assume the mic is always live.

    Bert Blyleven, the former Twins announcer, dropped the f-bomb multiple times when he thought he was off the air. That doesn't bother me, as people swear all the time. You have to use that slur enough regularly to drop it casually like he did.

    How long would Harry Caray been on the air in this modern age?

    I am honestly surprised Thom wasn't let go on the spot but HR will have to investigate. The guy will get a very nice severance package most likely.

    I thought the part of his apology that wasn't standard was the ""I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again" - he's acknowledging that he understands how serious this is.

    There are lots of out-of-work broadcasters who will be delighted to step up and fill his spot.

    Which is worse - saying the f-word gay slur on air or sending out a tweet with the actual n-word in it, ala Charlotte Hornets announcer John Focke..

    These are actual professional broadcasters. Or they were anyway..

    The latter because they had to actually press send on it. But only marginally worse.

    They are close. Even if it is an auto-correct issue, that means you use it enough times that auto-correct suggests it.

    Oh right now I remember it. The auto-correct excuse.

    That's also worse because the excuse is so bad.

    I'll give credit to the Rays for playing well, and for holding the Yankees to 3 runs per game, while they've scored 6 per game against the rest of the league. It's still August, though, and we still have more than half the season to go.

    Braves just continue to win for some reason. 80 percent of the rotation, including our ace, gone. Acuna been out a week. Albies been gone longer. Somehow we just keep going.

    Cubs are definitely going to have to do something about their relief game. I just dont know how much clubs are going to invest into this season if anything.
