  1. I find it exceptionally unlikely they'll be playing in front of fans in many of the parks. I'll be more than happy to watch actual sports on TV. League of Legends just isn't the same.
  2. Clase suspended 80 games. Not clear what will happen if the season is cancelled though.
  3. That's making the VERY big assumption that even empty stadium games will be permitted in Toronto. I don't think that's a given right now.
  4. His command appears to be in midseason form.
  5. From what I've read, Trump basically waived the verification process, which means that companies can create and sell tests without any proof that they actually work. I gather a lot of tests detect the common cold/flu as a positive test along with Coronavirus, which means people who think they're immune might not actually be so. I believe that's why the quick tests have taken longer to be approved here in Canada. They're trying to weed out the crap ones.
  6. I loved watching Stroman on the field, but I won't miss this s*** at all.
  7. Lol. Apparently they literally had a few strategically placed robots in the stands that were programmed to bang on drums and create crowd noise
  8. Apparently China's baseball season started today in front of robot fans!
  9. The biggest issue I can see is that you still have players touching the ball. Pitchers often lick their fingers. If one pitcher gets it, an entire team might. I guess there's the same risk of that whether it's in August or May though.
  10. I wonder what other ones there are? None of these had quite the impact Sanchez did given the timing, but: Josh Towers in 2005 (3.6 WAR) Hinske in 2002 (4.8 WAR) Reed Johnson in 2006 (4.4 WAR) Homer Bush 1999 (2.8 WAR) Woodward in 2002 (2.3 WAR) McGowan in 2007 before his arm imploded in 2008 (3.4 WAR) Chacin in 2005 (2.9 WAR) Litsch in 2008 (2.0 WAR)
  11. I believe most contracts aren't insured. The cost is too high to be worth it.
  12. I gather the league has clauses in the standard contract that allows them to suspend pay if the games are lost due to national emergency. Those haven't been triggered yet, and I guess there's no reason to until the time when the regular season would have started for all teams. We'll probably find out in the next week or so how it will be handled.
  13. Steamer has him projected at 94 wRC+, plus defense, and 0.7 WAR in 1/3 of a season. Nothing wrong with that for a bench player. He's not here to hit home runs.
  14. Panik is basically Sogard with a slightly better bat. He likely won't break out to what Sogard did last year, but he's probably worth the roster space.
  15. Yeah. If baseball happens this year, it probably won't be for much more than two months. Add a month at the start of next year, and you're talking 13 to 14 months recovery time. I'm working under the assumption that there won't be baseball this year though.
  16. Just let us have this moment Honestly though, it sucks. I love watching elite pitchers. He may only end up missing half a season.
  17. You can bet on League of Legends on DK still. I even watched one of the matches last night. I may need help.
  18. I'll take Graveman. Speedy is up!
  19. ... and there goes the federation president
  20. Weird. It looks like BORED and LOD are down, and DDL and BBDL are up.
  21. Weird start for Koepka, Mcilroy, and Rahm. They've spent a lot of time in the trees.
  22. Spring training is only half way through. If it's shutting down, it'll probably take a minimum of 3 weeks to a month to begin playing once they make that decision. Since things are likely to get worse over the next month or so, I can't see regular season games being played before June.
  23. I think the bigger benefit is more flexibility in dealing with injuries and late-game substitutions. He can play the majority of the games at 2B, but it would sure be nice to be able to slide someone competent into a few other positions on an emergency basis.
