2021 MLB Regular Season thread

Schedule it before an off-day. Schedule it and tell the manager you want the next day off. Everyone gets a rest day here and there.

 

Stay Tuned for the next episode of "What Would Cal Ripken Jr. do?"

 

Have management pull the fuse on the stadium power?

Crash wonders what all the fuss is about.

 

Hall-of-Famer in big trouble:

MLB, Blue Jays fire Roberto Alomar after sexual misconduct investigation (yahoo.com)

 

In every sport I umpired or officiated, our instructors always said the same thing: "Don't make waves in calm waters." In other words, don't go looking for shit just to prove how smart you think you are.

 

I imagine @Chef2 would disagree with this.

 

Didn't Bobby say some years ago he'd been molested or similar?

 

So much here.
1) Alomar doesn’t forcefully deny anything. Says he hopes for a venue to tell his side of the story. Ok, pal. You can have that. Sue your accuser for defamation and see where that leads. I’m gonna guess he won’t be doing that.
2) MLB seems pretty sure he’s guilty.
3) Alomar was both a consultant to MLB and an advisor for the Jays? Conflict of interest anyone?

 

As a former umpire and current assigner for college umpires ... perfect saying.

 

The Brewers are a walking wounded crew with nearly 15 guys on the IL or out and are 16-10. The pitching has been sick.
