One of the things I think they missed in was a built in set of breaks in the schedule. They should have played 45 games instead of 60 and taken 2 separate 1 week breaks at game 15 and 30. Give time to make games up.


45 games? Did you even follow the negotiations that led to 60?

We're already playing only 60 games and half the league makes the playoffs. Cancel some games. Go by winning %. No big deal if someone only plays 57 or 53 instead of 60.

Yep. And Manfred was prepared to do it for 45. They better figure something out. The are down 3 teams in 8 games. A bit over a week to lose 10% of the teams overall and 20% of one pod that are occurrences from before the teams started traveling and mixing.

If Manfred had followed through on this threat to impose 48 games, the total number of game played so far would be 0. The season wasn't going to happen without a deal with MLBPA.

They need to start discussions to push back the playoffs and start building in some extra days for makeups.

TV can not be the driving for of a baseball season. For one the team channels will cover whenever games are, get into the playoffs and if TBS etc don't want to work with the league then playoff games can air on the team stations. I don't see it being necessary because it's not like TV companies have anything else to play....what are they going to do play reruns of Big Bang theory instead

I don't understand how they didn't have a contingency for this. They should have assumed they would have teams with a break out and have a plan for this. Not to derail things, but this makes me worry about schools. If schools plan as well as MLB, they'll all shutdown after the first case.

I guess that would give some explanation as to why we aren't seeing him but seeing every other possibility on the farm.

Hopefully it's just discomfort not TJ etc

McTags posted his before Dusty started speaking I think. I posted them out of order. My bad.

Brantley day off, Tucker cleanup. I'm kind of surprised Correa hasn't moved up.

Does anyone have Toro's splits batting left vs right?

I wonder how long we'll hold onto this kid. He's done nothing to earn all the praise and high rankings he's been given. I think it's a direct possibility that we ship him away in the next big trade.

Those look like a guy who isn't a switch hitter. Just focus on hitting left handed and move on.

Dusty is a Tucker-believer (like we are) to put him in the 4-hole.

I don't think Hinch would have done that even to break up the righties
