The Official 2020 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

Seems fairly obvious (except maybe to the idiot commissioner) that this ain't working. Now what?

I think it’s the Miami night life that caused this.

There was also President Bozo 45 a couple months ago saying

"We need to bring sports back im tired of watching replays of old games"

Assuming this doesn't keep going either the season gets completely cancelled or they find a way to delay the season and actually do a bubble this time. 2nd option dependent on an agreement and however their TV contract allows I'm sure.

Season would have to be deaded.

Sox have the higher ceiling, because they are stacked with prospects at both position (Robert, Moncada, Eloy, Vaughn, Madigral) and pitching (Giolito, Kopech, Cease) levels. And they have shown they will start to spend a bit to fill gaps (Grandal, Kuechel, Edwin, re sign Abreu, etc)

However, the Twins are not to be slighted, they can just absolutely MASH the ball.

This squad can be very scary if they hit on all these guys and just sprinkle in the right vets and could see them running the Central for the next decade.

I think all the position players are cant miss tbh ... and Cease looks promising. Kopech might be the only player I listed that doesnt turn out

This lineup is gonna be filthy for years to come

Nice to see how much they care about player health. David Price is right

Plenty of vacant hotels, lots of stadiums in the surrounding area. Traveling all over the country is just asking for a early shutdown. But I think the players didn't sign off on the bubble right? Didn't the MLB propose a bubble in Arizona and the players turned it down?

Dude, look at the weather forecast for Phoenix. They only have one indoor stadium. You can't have a bunch of teams playing in 110+ degree heat every day for two months.

Yeah, I can't believe they just didn't propose another city for the bubble. But it's too late for that. It's either they have these guys travel in hazmat suits and seriously lock all rosters and staff down or cancel the season

 

[We Ready]

The 2019 Minnesota Twins won 101 games -- up from 78 wins in 2018.
The 2019 Chicago White Sox won 72 games -- up from 62 wins in 2018.

Which of these teams do you feel has the brighter future?

The Twins seem to have the more MLB-ready roster right now. But Chicago seems to have the better prospects.

@TrillaMonsoon is the only one I trust to be fair and neutral on this topic, not like a certain White Sox fan whose name rhymes with a liquor.

this would be very disappointing (season done), I cant say it would be surprising though

I was super excited to have this season start, as Im sure yall were too

Oh, hey man. Nice to see you.

 

[GhostoftheMan]

i mean the players arent following protocol and they didnt want a bubble. they are to blame too

 

[Regular_P]

Corey Kluber lasted one inning before getting shut down. He might be done. His career looks very similar to Lincecum's.
