2021 MLB Regular Season thread

The ones with the gunk don’t get put into play?

 

Lol Nationals.

 

Heyward can do what he wants but as a guy in heavily restricted Ontario I think his points about the fans have some merit. I watch hockey and baseball games played before packed arenas and stadiums and there is no chance everyone there has been fully vaxxed. Something like 53 percent of the people in Chicago have received one shot from one website I saw while nearly 75 percent of the people in Ontario have had at least one and and while our second shot numbers rise every day we are still a long long way from packed baseball and hockey games here.

 

With his stats you'd think Heyward's had Covid for years.

 

How do you get a fan base which doesn't like seven-inning doubleheaders and softball tiebreaker rules to forget about them? Do something crazier, like make it harder to watch the games. These games will be blacked out on the RSNs in Phillies and Giants territories, so so much for those who already paid to see the games.

Manfred is making Selig look good.

 

What’d you expect when you put a lawyer in charge?

 

Worse, Gary Bettman is looking like a genius.

 

Whoa, whoa. Let’s not say anything we can’t take back…

 

The player empowerment era is nearing a close if they’re going to use that leverage to refuse to get a vaccine protecting against a plague.

They earned power and decided to be dipshits with that power.

It comes down to arrogance. “I’m healthy. I’m rich. No one can tell me what to do.” And in the end they become the same as the backwoods Trumpist we all excoriate. Time’s up on pointing to Tuskegee and needing more information. You’re just arrogant in your ignorance if you’re not only unvaccinated, but loudly unvaccinated. Claiming to be on the side of social justice and then ignoring a major social injustice: poor and minority people dying of Covid at much higher rates. People without the resources you have as a millionaire to get the info about these vaccines and influencing more of them to not get it, either.
