2020 MLB Running Thread

That's literally what it took to call off the 1919 Stanley Cup Finals, players passing out on the ice.

 

At this point, the Tigers should go ahead and retroactively declare themselves winners of the 1934 and 2006 World Series.

The worst case so far is Eduardo Rodriguez, who is out for the season with a questionable future due to a heart ailment that was a complication from COVID.

 

Nothing happening in Houston.

 

Are official scorers on site? Or are they watching from the couch like everybody else?

 

Ha! Ha! ESPN jinxed it!

 

No, it's the Giants, who are much, much worse than expected.

Anyway, Solano breaks it up with a liner down the left field line with one out in the seventh.

 

I don't know, I didn't have high hopes for this season. The only really shocking thing is how badly they play defense. But this team is not built to win this year or the next five years.

The way Kapler is managing the pitchers, I am starting to take bets on whether he makes it through next season with a job. I'd say he'd get canned this year, but he's going to get a reprieve because this season is going to be so short.

 

Giants are 7-10. That’s worse than expected? They do have a bad run differential, but I figured they’d win 20 games.

 

Yastremzski is fun to watch as is Cueto. Everyone else on Giants, not so much.
