The Athletic has a good article on why even if MLB didnt offer immunity, it would have been incredibly hard and messy to punish the players: https://theathletic.com/1614464/2020/02/17/drellich-even-without-granting-immunity-mlb-would-have-had-trouble-punishing-astros-players/ For those without a subscription here's the main part: quote:Any potential punishments to Astros players would have prompted grievances and wound up before an arbitrator. And in the words of an official with knowledge of these matters, MLB would have been “smoked.” Another person experienced in this area said that MLB’s case would have been “brutal” and the league would “look a fool.” Basically the agreement between MLB and MLBPA basically didn't have a clear way to punish players, and Luhnow didn't tell the players to stop as the top exec so the blame lies with him.

Kirios posted:PNW and especially Portland are considered the micro brew kings for a reason! One of the things the article highlights is microbreweries in each city and if they're available at the ballpark, a lot are noted to have a decent microbrewery scene but suck at delivering it in the park (Coors Field is probably the biggest example). I think every concession stand at Seattle has at least 2 taps, one for a boring macro like bud light and then a microbrew that varies from stand to stand.

If the Snoqualmie Casino hydroplane wins, it's a fastball. If the Oh Boy Oberto! hydroplane wins, it's an offspeed pitch.

No Safe Word posted:Goddamn, I didn't realize how bad they've been historically. Funny how that 2004 team was actually super bad in spite of Ichiro literally setting the single-season hit record, and frankly having a not-bad roster except a super questionable rotation. Not sure what you could call a not bad roster when only 3 qualified players hit above 100+ OPS for that season. Edit: you would think with a rotation that had Moyer, Pineiro, Garcia and Meche would be a little bit better though...

No Safe Word posted:No, clearly they PERFORMED badly but it's not like a team full of almost entirely no-names like the 2013 Astros where even fans of the team probably couldn't name most of the starters. And yeah they were old, but not so old you'd expect them all to be as bad as they were. One of my favorite things to do is to remember a really bad year and try to remember who got the majority starts in each position. A lot of "remembering some guys" going on there.

elentar posted:Starting to wonder how much of the regular season might potentially be played in closed-door stadiums. Italy's Serie A soccer league has suspended a lot of matches outright and is playing many others behind closed doors, the Premier League is considering doing the same. In Japan, they haven't allowed spectators at the spring training games and the season might not start on schedule. South Korea cancelled its preseason schedule outright. The Mariners are already considering this possibility. Seattle has been hit pretty badly and we already had one concessions guy at an XFL game be a confirmed case.

https://mobile.twitter.com/RyanDivish/status/1237797807148302336 Basically the Mariners have 4 options: - play their opener in Arizona at their ST park - play their opener on the road in Texas - play in an empty ballpark in Seattle - cancel it altogether???

C: Pudge Rodriguez 1B: John Olerud 2B: Robinson Cano SS: Alex Rodriguez 3B: Adrian Beltre RF: Ichiro CF: Ken Griffey Jr. LF: Barry Bonds DH: Edgar Martinez / Nelson Cruz SP: Felix Hernandez SP: Randy Johnson SP: Cliff Lee SP: Freddy Garcia SP: Jamie Moyer RP: Shigetoshi Hasegawa RP: JJ Putz There’s a few I thought about - mainly 2B, I could replace Cano with Bret Boone who put up 2 amazing seasons then a few meh seasons. Edgar Martinez and Nelson Cruz are close because Cruz’s 4 seasons in Seattle were insanely good. I managed to see a game with Barry Bonds in 2001 (opening day) so he counts!

Red posted:I guess that could be right: https://www.baseball-reference.com/play-index/batter_vs_pitcher.cgi?pitcher=moyerja01 Moyer spent most of his career as a Mariner and it was during the time when the AL West was only 4 teams so it’s not surprising he’s #1. I’m a bit more confounded by Bernie Williams being #2.

I'm fine with the Mariners taking the best college pitcher available. You can never have enough starting pitching prospects.

Tony Phillips posted:I gave a crap about the draft in 09 and 11 when the M's had the #2 pick each time. Nothing like drafting a pitcher with "injury-free" mechanics who then tears his rotator cuff, labrum and anterior capsule all in one fell swoop.

The only moral acceptable time to bunt: - beating the shift (players should get a bonus if a shift beating bunt turns into a double, little league style or not) - game winning suicide squeeze (unless you’re Eric Byrnes)

I was having a weird thought... If the 2020 season is canceled, and 2021 goes as planned, do we see an uptick in pitcher velocity? Since all these pitchers aren't straining their arms like crazy they'll be well rested, almost as if they were rehabbing from TJS. Basically what I'm saying is I'm gonna be real sad if Felix has an uptick in his velocity and is back to normal.

God just adopt the NPB rule of having ties if the game goes past the 12th inning and no one scores. This would likely give us more game 163s (or game 61s this season) anyways.
