I remember in a previous MLB thread the consensus was that Joe Jackson was in on the Black Sox scandal, but I don't recall any actual concrete articles to that effect, and the Eight Myths Out article seems pretty definitive. What's the story, there?

Andruw Jones was one of the most fun players to watch in baseball for a clear decade or so and if that’s not one of your primary criteria for Hall of Fame status then you can gently caress off

NiceGuy posted:Ah, see I was confused because you mispelt Sosa as Barrold They were two separate yet equally important points — one was comparing Bonds to Schilling is laughable, the other that in a just world the Hall should include players that I alone think are cool and good which as I have posted here several times already begins with “Slammin’” Sammy Sosa. As for Barrold and DV allegations, yeah they’re gross and inexcusable but that’s not the benchmark for inclusion even if it should be. Worse people with worse careers are in the Hall, which once again doesn’t excuse Bonds, but I’m sorry if my pointing that out is gross to you  Luckily my BBWAA card hasn’t come yet because they keep saying something awful dot com in not a reputable sports publication.

This report is claiming that ST will start on time, which I find hard to believe https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1345859581000495104?s=20 We hit 17000 cases in FL just the other day. Players begin to report here in about 5 weeks normally. I haven't heard anything official, but I have to assume that ST games will be without fans?

They will do whatever the states allow them to, at this point. If FL allows 20% capacity, they'll be at 20% capacity. It's just like the 2020 regular season - there was always a possibility they didn't do a season at all, but once they started there was no chance they wouldn't just finish it.

Knowing our governor, he will sign off on 100% capacity because he doesn't give a poo poo

I wonder if MLB players are getting vaccine priority. Probably, but I haven't heard anything.

Right now a bunch of vaccines are going to just expire because we aren't getting them out to people fast enough. Allegedly they are not getting priority but with all of the confusion going on surrounding vaccine distribution, it would not surprise me in the least to find out that MLB got access to them secretly.

Oh and Arizona is also really bad with cases yet again, so it's not just here in FL

I got an email survey a couple days from MLB that was basically "do you believe in covid?" "Would the governor or president saying MLB games are fine to attend make you come?" "Will masks being required make you more or less likely to come?" "What is your political affiliation?" etc. At the very least, they're going to do the same thing they did for the Texas hosted playoffs in every city and state they are allowed to do so, no matter the actual health concerns.

Yeah Gillespie was in house, presumably would have cost poor old Tom next to nothing to hire considering he's just the AA guy, and on top of having a good voice he's got great knowledge about the team and good energy. But of course the Cubs can't loving do anything even remotely right at the moment so this tracks. lmao at hiring somebody named "Boog" to call your games, at least Pat Hughes is still around for the time being. e. Well maybe they can do one thing slightly right, this was in the press release announcing "Boog" quote:Sciambi joins color analyst Jim Deshaies and an impressive lineup at Marquee Sports Network, including studio host Cole Wright, and sideline reporters Taylor McGregor and Elise Menaker. Also contributing are former Cubs players Ryan Dempster, Mark DeRosa, Doug Glanville, Rick Sutcliffe, Dan Plesac, Sean Marshall, Ryan Sweeney and Carlos Pena, former manager Lou Piniella, and Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Chris Myers. Notably absent from that list is Mark Grace, so hopefully they sent his dumb rear end packing for good. Sydin fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jan 4, 2021 |

what's the record for most walks in the first inning? I just had Zach Davies walk 6 of my guys in the first in an OOTP game he went BB-BB-DP-BB-BB-BB-BB-K (on a borderline 3-2 pitch)

I have to imagine that along with those who think it's a liberal hoax, there's probably a ton of MLBers who are antivax. I bet most of them don't get the shot at all. I also don't believe MLB had any actual covid protocol last season so I'm expecting plenty more outbreaks this season lol

One of the few things I imagine would be a relatively quick negotiation is that vaccinations are mandatory for all players, with refusal disqualifying you from playing.

Yeah the players are either cutting the line with extremely high visibility, or they aren’t getting vaccinated for many months.
