31 sounds like an undercount if this is true: https://twitter.com/Spreadapedia/status/1278425823372967936 https://twitter.com/FrancysRomero10/status/1278426441911238657

31 does seem extremely low just from what we've heard. My guess is that number is just like some double triple test and submitted to the secret list number or something.

Spiders was a great name and is a great name. Would also accept Spiderland.

Drop the name and let me go back to unabashedly loving a childhood team (until they inevitably trade Frankie away and start tanking to cut costs).

They keep Frankie on the team long enough to sell the new jerseys, then trade him.

Naps and Spiders are both fantastic names. I want the Braves to change because I hate the tomahawk chop.

This is a lot of positive tests. Maybe MLB is patting itself on the back because they’re thinking better to get it during And good that Cleveland is going to change the name. You’re next, Atlanta.

Spiders owns and it’s a perfect pairing because they already use a Spider-Man color scheme.

The Cleveland Rocks is a really stupid name and the only way it's acceptable is if they adopt the color palette of 1980s-era Jem and the Holograms.

Any Wikipedia editors here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Major_League_Baseball_draft some obvious misinformation / vandalism on this. Has Pedro getting drafted by the Rays and Beckham by the Pirates, their personal pages are affected too lol I don’t have an account on there or I’d fix it

The Rocks would kind of butt up against the Rockies, but we already have two Sox, so what do I know.

With all the poo poo happening in this HellYear I had totally forgotten that Dusty was our manager until a news segment the other day showed him wearing a mask during practice, and all I could think was "there is definitely going to be a covid-related senior citizen manager/broadcaster/coach death this season". Cancel the loving season, goddamn.

I didn't get to ask Chien-Ming Wang about hot dogs, but the game was fun as hell. Everyone does chants with hand motions (a different one for every home batter). They're led by a line of cheerleaders standing on the dugout. It's kind of amazing how involved everyone is considering, well, all the games are four hours long and the players are mostly mediocre or worse. Very family friendly (everything is hyper cute bc Asia) and generally a young crowd. Almost no drinking. The crowd is mostly superfans who have a great collective bond and know each other from coming to all the games. The only disappointing thing was that in the last couple years, the guys with the big drum and giant flag (chant leaders) have been replaced by a sound system drum. Anyway here's a picture of Chien-Ming Wang and Hong-Chih Kuo posing with a lion and an anthropomorphic fish head.

At least thats what Snitker said.

It seems like its up to the player to out themselves either directly or by giving consent. But like, there's no real motivation not to at least once the season gets going since if you go on the covid list and no one says the word everyone will just assume anyway and the only other options to explain a mysterious absence would be weird or worse stuff. Right now my guess is players aren't actually being put on the list which I imagine is why there seems to be such a huge discrepancy in the numbers we're hearing reported and the number MLB is claiming. Or the process is a slow one from the first positive test to actually being re-tested and put on the list.
