Naps and Spiders are both fantastic names.

I want the Braves to change because I hate the tomahawk chop.

Good lord, I had already accepted that this season would be canceled and now I get to be all angry again because baseball should be canceled.

MLB can't even cancel correctly, and does so in a manner that hurts a bunch of players and costs money like idiots.

Does anyone have a list of all the players who have tested positive so far?

What...what exactly is he wanting to strap on...

I had this dream where players wore strap ons and had to hit the ball by swinging their hips. I woke up laughing.

It turns out that watching major leaguers dick around on a baseball field is exactly as exciting as watching anyone dick around on a baseball field. Quite possibly less.

I'm basically watching to observe mask protocol.

edit: Yankee announcers officially pro extra innings rule and calling people who disagree "purists"

Announcers hate extra inning games.

My favorite thing is to go on one of the local seattle beat writers twitter during a extra inning because you can watch him start to get worried in the eighth, scared in the ninth, and then after ten he just descends into madness and despair.

People like Heidi Watney get really upset on twitter when west coast closers blow their leads.

I just can't see the season happening. Sure you could go maybe 5-10 games in before one team gets super sick before first pitch. Like everyone just retching in the clubhouse because the virus got on the plane and everyone was sitting together for 4+ hours breathing in the same germy air.

I didn't mean to imply that not liking the Astros post-scandal gives me moral superiority. Just that they've nearly ruined baseball for me. That said, you're right in that no team is perfect, which I've also admitted.

I was just about to google this to see when I get my free MLB.tv subscription. Now I get the Athletic, too? :woop:

I thought Palmer and Thorne were one of the better crews, although I haven’t watched an O’s game in a couple years. Thorne has such a good broadcasting voice.

The ironic suggestion that MLB should just move their season to Korea is now looking really, really smart.

Wild.

Well now they found someone who can throw out the first pitch. Is Charley Radbourn still with us?

Manfred trying to pin this on the players and use it as leverage in a CBA negotiation. :lol:
