Did the Commissioner really say that it never occurred to him to check if Altuve had a tattoo like ue and the Astros claimed?
If there is any attempt to take the World Series off the Astroâs then Texas will leave the Union.
As my partners in Texas said to me today; â we are armed and ready for warâ. And I am not sure if there was any humour in the comment.
Games are televised on Kayo
The Aces play out in Laverton which is not exactly central. Nice ball park but if they had something built near Gosches paddock maybe more people would go!
MLB adopting a 'wait and see â approach. Remainder of Spring training games cancelled and season start now pushed back two weeks.
Hearing that a May start is being looked atâŚ
Wow, Joe Kelly in the doghouse

for those desperate for a sports fix, koreas baseball league is currently running.
Geez, MLB is really shooting themselves in the foot. Not taking any of the offers made by the Playersâ Association in good faith. Now, Manfred has said that 2020 season might not happen at all.
The silver lining? Mookie Betts will be a free agent without ever having an at bat with the Dodgers!!!
It seems extreme to ask the players to accept an 80% cut in wages - Reckon 30 to 50% is more in the ball park.
I had a two-month family holiday booked for August to October which included time in San Fran, Seattle, an Alaskan cruise (on a Princess ship no less), and awesome seats at a Giants/Padres game. One by one theyâve all been rubbed in my face.
Sigh, maybe COVID-19 is actually cosmic karma getting me back for all those dead hookersâŚ

Current thinking is that a 60-game season will start July 24-25 with a couple of extra rules (for this season only)âŚ
NL to use the DH, to avoid wearing out the pitchers
Extra innings to start with a runner on 2ndâŚthat runner will be the guy who made the last out in the previous inningâŚor a pinch-runner. If that runner scores, pitcher will not be debited with an ER.
I believe theyâre holding off on implementing the new rules that a pitcher has to pitch to 3 hitters (or till the end of a half-inning)âŚinjury excepted
Because FL and AZ are Covid hot-spots, no âspringâ training to take place there, as per usual custom.
Itâs crazy they are coming back. Half of the teams have coronavirus affecting players

Itâs actually good players are testing positive in the pre-season - This means that when the season begins you will have a clear bubble.

He focuses on one minority group and thatâs ok, but how many Hispanics are in MLB?
Wonder what the % is of black players in the NBA?
Not sure how widespread this is but 4 Braves players, including Freddie Freeman and Will Smith, have tested positive to Covid. Freeman has suffered all the symptoms.
