Shocking News: The Giants have disinvited the rapey and violence threatening Aubrey Huff, a dude Schilling would say is trying too hard, from their 2010 World Series reunion.

Every time I hear about Aubrey Huff I'm reminded of someone a long time ago on I think McCovey Chronicles who named his daughter Aubrey after this guy.

I feel really badly for Sandoval; it seems like he probably has an eating disorder and it really sucks to have to deal with one publicly. I can only imagine what it’s be like having literally millions of people giving you poo poo about it.

You can tell he wants to lose weight but it becomes the first thing to go when the stress of the season gets to him. He yo-yoed seemingly every year for a while.

They could have kept playing with the teams they had you realize that right? There was no law or requirement that they suspend the games. Yes it would have been suicide but they 'caved' in the sense that they realized the virus was beyond them being able to contain or handle in the moment.

I still have no idea how to bunt since The Show 19. Bunting, particularly sac bunting, used to be the easiest thing in the goddamn world. Now I seemingly can't do loving anything besides miss a bunt, bunt foul, or bunt too hard and at a minimum get the lead runner thrown out. I've tried using the stick to choose the direction of my bunt that just seems to make my bunts even shittier.

I actually had trouble with this too so what I do instead is I

The travel restriction thing is interesting. Since there aren't any de jure restrictions on interstate travel that I'm aware of, that has to be making sure that teams can get in and out of Toronto. No one's brought this up yet, but the Blue Jays might have to find an American stadium to play their home games if MLB wants next season to start on time

There are some limited restrictions in place already
