The Official 2020 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

This is a pretty entertaining round table discussion if you have some time to kill.

MLB started a MLB The Show League with the players. Hearing these dudes talk trash and how they interact is hilarious to me. Nothing shows a person’s true personality like watching them play the game.

The first 25 minutes of this alone made me a lifelong Amir Garrett fan

What a surprise. After months of delay, they place all the blame on some video guy (who's denying it). Sounds a lot like Stern's "rogue official" defense of Donaghy.

You were expecting a Boston team to get caught up...

MLB really had the nerve to say Cora had no role in the Red Sox sign stealing scandal, even though there was a video room setup right next to Boston's dugout, which is exactly what Cora did in Houston. What a joke.

During home games, Watkins was stationed in a room very close to the Red Sox dugout at Fenway Park, in the same small area where the batting cage is, an area with a lot of foot traffic and hitters coming in and out. He traveled with the team on the road, as well.

“Prior to the start of the 2018 season, the Red Sox moved the replay station from a relatively remote upstairs area to a small room just outside of the dugout that also housed several stations for players to review clips of their past at bats, known as BATS stations,” the commissioner wrote. “Watkins was the sole Red Sox employee staffed in this replay room, but other staff and players trafficked in and out of the room to review the BATS monitors or speak to Watkins about his advanced research on various topics.”

In addition to Watkins’ denial of decoding signs during the game via the replay system, the league said that 30 players said they had no knowledge of such behavior.

Wow so Boston legitimately won their WS titles, props to them.. I thought they might have been cheating but today proves they were clean as any other club.
