The DH is an almost universal rule in amateur and professional baseball. As my progressive friends like to say, you’re on the wrong side of history on this one.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I don't think I'm on a side of history here. I'm not protesting the MLB for making the switch, I'm not wailing or gnashing my teeth over it. I have a personal preference but understand and accept why the MLB (and other levels of baseball) are going in a different direction.
That was the best worst inside the park home run ever.
Should that have been a double? I thought it bounced into the netting.
Entire Cubs v. Cardinals series has been canceled due to COVID. By the end of the weekend most teams will have played 16 games...Cardinals will have played five. That's a lot of doublheaders coming up.
Apparently the Cardinals series with Pittsburgh scheduled for Mon-Wed has also been cancelled. That will put St. Louis about 14 games behind most other teams.
Didn’t the MLB make it so that there’s basically a group of 30 players waiting to be called up so when covid hits someone they aren’t short on guys? Why wouldn’t they just say, “Well, you decided to go out to a casino during a pandemic and now you can’t stop the spread of covid in your clubhouse, so your entire active roster is going into quarantine and the 30 backup players (plus coaches?) are playing for the next 2 weeks. If they go 0-14 too bad, that’s on you.” Why are they not doing that and instead just cancelling games, ruining their own season and cutting games from other teams?
28/30 MLB teams have listened to the rules and stayed out of trouble. Why are you going to punish those teams with double headers to make up games with the Marlins and Cardinals because they decided they wanted to go to a strip club/casino.Make them play the AAA squad or forfeit the games.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
The Cardinals didn't go to a Casino. Amazing how fast and far a false rumor spreads. Jerry Hairston Jr. started a false rumor on social media that the Cardinals went to a casino. It is pretty wild how many people believed it without verifying it first, and, still do believe it, or would rather believe that than have whatever the facts may be. Lots and lots of crickets from those that got it wrong. The Cardinals had one member of their travel party, non-player, that was unknowingly COVID-19 positive on their team plane. 57 people were on the flight. It very quickly spread to different players, coaches, staff. That's all it takes, and, one is too many. Their protocol was not good enough. But no, they weren't out partying or going to casinos. In this thread alone, 7-9 people have repeated the false rumor Stay for the Potawatomi Casino video references. 👍https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/birdland/facts-refute-claims-cardinals-got-covid-19-at-casino/article_1d8341d8-33f2-5e31-83d9-3c875927161b.html
Cardinals should forfeit every game that has been postponed. Period.
The Cardinals didn't do good enough with their protocol. That's a fact. You spread a false rumor in this thread. This is also a fact. 👍
So who gets the unofficial fan MVP so far, Kelly, or Laureano?
But at 60 games with at least eight cancelled, I have no idea how they'll make these games up.
With the cancellation of the Pittsburgh series it will be 13 games to make up. That's a 162-game season equivalent of 35 games to make up.Cards will have to play 55 games in 46 days.
