you cannot have a Chaos Baseball season without Fernando Rodney

If enough players get sick, a team will have to sign Jose Canseco

I feel like we're going to get this update daily for the next 6 months, leading me to wonder how many players the Marlins actually have

Looking at the pictures of him from 2019 to 2020, there's clearly something going on that we don't know about. He looks like he's lost about 20 pounds of muscle, no wonder his velo has dropped so much. :(

I hope we find out more news about this, and I hope it has a good ending. This story bothers me, and I hope he gets better.

Joe Kelly suspended 8 games, Dave Roberts 1.

What the gently caress?

Kelly's suspension is equal to a 22 game suspension during a regular season

also these suspensions are all more than the astros got for cheating in a world series (And losing)

I would hope he appeals and wins; he clearly had no control, and his only crime was making an internet meme face at Correa.

Talk about mixed feelings

Say what you will about Chris Davis and being a black hole in the lineup, but he's a super nice guy, and I wouldn't wish him or anyone else to get sick.

In all honesty, I feel like the way runs are assigned to pitchers after they are pulled needs to be adjusted. Like a runner left on third is worth 3/4 of a run, second 1/2, first 1/4, etc. It's BS how that poo poo is totaled right now.

I've always felt this way, but historically, wouldn't this create a giant mess?

So then it's fine to laugh at Joe West because he's an absolute chud.

Joe West is a ham umpire, not the somehow-elected leader of the free world driving everyone off a cliff into a pit of Nazism.

If you're looking for a new team, consider the Phillies for one simple reason:

No heartbreak to be had because they are never going to play again.

Being a Phillies fan will train you to accept crushing disappointment and failure.

My prediction of new daily infections every day for the Marlins is sticking. It will continue, daily, for years, as the Marlins keep getting replacement players, and they keep getting sick.

in case you forgot the other reason the Astros were a garbage franchise

I feel like Crane must be just building up to a "Well, look, you know, I've met Roberto's girlfriend or whatever, and she has a big mouth, and while we don't condone Roberto's actions,".

Alright so we've got Kimbrel and Allen, are there any other thoroughly washed up closers we can add in to create the ultimate over the hill bullpen?

Astros scandal: let the players off

Covid scandal: blame the players

Never attempts a shred of responsibility for the running of the league. It's always someone else's fault.

Resign Manfred. Resign in shame and what you have done to baseball.

I look forward to Manfred reading and responding to all these takes
