Click also said they are working with MLB about the 40 man rules and this is likely to fall under the guidelines set fourth regarding COVID before the season. I don't think we will see anyone DFA'd over this.

Is it not laughable? Kid can hardly get a hit to save his life...

I didn't say it was the only thing that was laughable.

Critically important question I need help with:

Do Astros wear white and gray bottoms with their orange tops this season?
Do you guys have a preference?

I have to decide what I want my t-ball team to wear. I'm partial to the gray bottoms.

Partial to white myself. Also considering it's t-ball, you can bleach the grass stains out

Yes. They wear orange on the road with gray pants. White pants at home.

Fat Bib Fortuna said:
I know Dusty's use of Machete/Castro is diving a lot of people insane so I did some research into Dusty's previous management stops and what his catching situation looked like. With rare exception, he seems to prefer a defensive catcher who can call a game to an extreme over a catcher who can hit - while it's nice having one that does both, they are few and far between.

Here's a breakdown - sorry for any spacing issues. Other than Michael Barrett's strong run with the Cubs, he's not had a catcher for more than 1 year in a row that was a real offensive standout. The best was Wilson Ramos with the Nats in '16, but they let him walk to free agency. Santiago had a big year with the Giants in 2002, but that seems like a potential steroid situation, considering he was 37 at the time.

93 Giants: Kurt Manwaring .275, 5 HR, 49 RBI
94 Giants: Manwaring .250, 1 HR, 29 RBI
95 Giants: Manwaring .251, 4 HR, 36 RBI
96 Giants: Tom Lampkin .232, 6 HR, 29 RBI
97 Giants: Rick Wilkins .195 6 HR 23 RBI
98 Giants: Brian Johnson .237 13 HR, 34 RBI
99 Giants: Brent Mayne .301, 2 HR, 29 RBI
00 Giants: Bobby Estrella .234, 14 HR, 53 RBI
01 Giants: Benito Santiago .262 6 HR 45 RBI
02 Giants: Santiago .278, 16 HR, 74 RBI

03 Cubs: Damian Miller .233 9 HR 36 RBI
04 Cubs: Michael Barrett .297 16 HR 65 RBI
05 Cubs: Barrett: .276 16 HR 61 RBI
06 Cubs: Barrett: .307, 16 HR, 53 RBI

08 Reds: Paul Bako .217, 6 HR, 35 RBI
09 Reds: Ryan Hanigan .263 3 HR 11 RBI
10 Reds: Ramon Hernandez .297 7 HR 48 RBI
11 Reds: Hanigan .267 6 HR 31 RBI
12 Reds: Hanigan .274 2 HR 24 RBI
13 Reds: Devin Mesoraco .238, 9 HR, 42 RBI

16 Nationals: Wilson Ramos .307, 22 HR, 80 RBI
17 Nationals: Matt Wieters .225, 10 HR, 52 RBI

interesting info. Benito Santiago! That guy was a great athlete.

This doesn't even make sense. Didn't Alvarez have Covid last year? And if it was really a positive test on one of those, they just played a game with everyone else so what makes it that only those 5 have to sit out?

This also really irritates me about the Nationals getting to postpone their first series. They should have had to do something similar.

I think Click / Crane wanted to play. We don't have the Tigers at home again so it would be a road double header (and loss of home game revenue).

Potential positive and 5 players WITH AT LEAST ONE SHOT are out. Not to go forum 19, but WTaF if they've had a shot is that a consideration?

Home and away.

We wore grey because white pants suck for little kids and you hate parents if you make them try to keep white clean

When Bregman, Altuve and Yordan come back... they shouldn't get any scheduled off days for a while. This should count as theirs for a while

With this umpire crew, you basically have to throw it straight down the middle to get a strike. He's not gonna make it long.

Here at the stadium. I think most of the fans quarantined as well. Bad weather probably keeping the walk up crowd away.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
