My hometown team (Mahoning Valley Scrappers) is almost certainly going to be cut by this, along with the rest of the NY-P League. It seemed inevitable even before this pandemic, but it still sucks. |

I’m assuming you saw The Athletic article about it? I haven’t read it ye, but looking forward to it.

Yeah it's great. Fegan pulls in quotes from most of the key Sox players on that team.

Also Red Sox get off with a very light slap on the wrist for their part in the sign stealing controversy. One lost pick and a tech suspended.

I remember watching this on TV - these were wild brawls. Happy anniversary! I was at work, at a local hot dog joint by my high school when this happened. I remember I stopped helping the customer I was helping so I could watch the fight, and my boss yelled at me to get back to work. That was a fun team. |

Yeah but he was already fired so I think the chance that a team was going to hire him at any point this season was close to nil.

Some dude named Ron Roenicke. I could be making this up but I think he was their bench coach when all this went down. So, you know, sure they learned their lesson and whatnot |

Well, I'm now officially the guy waking up this early on a day I don't work to watch baseball in Taiwan.

Well, I'm now officially the guy waking up this early on a day I don't work to watch baseball in Taiwan. I watched a Korean intrasquad scrimmage a couple weeks ago. The players were HORRIBLE but it was an extremely pleasant viewing experience |

Sadly, I can only conclude that I am the new element that was responsible for the 11-0 drubbing the Fubon Guardians faced.
But hey, it was great practice to dust off my scorekeeping knowledge!

Ugh, am I really going to end up finding an ESPN subscription for this?
(Yes, very likely yes.)
Hey, at least it's an hour ahead of Taiwan.

I think the news that Italian soccer teams have a practice start date give me some optimism of a MLB season happening.

Oh fuck yeah: MLB discussing plan to start season in late June, playing in home stadiums with realigned leagueMajor League Baseball officials have become cautiously optimistic this week that the season will start in late June, and no later than July 2, playing at least 100 regular-season games, according to three executives with knowledge of the talks. They requested anonymity because the plan is still under consideration.
And not only would baseball be played, but it would be played in their own major-league ballparks, albeit with no fans.
MLB is considering a three-division, 10-team plan in which teams play only within their division – a concept gaining support among owners and executives. It would abolish the traditional American and National Leagues, and realign the divisions based on geography.
The plan, pending approval of medical experts and providing that COVID-19 testing is available to the public, would eliminate the need for players to be in isolation and allow them to still play at their home ballparks while severely reducing travel.
The divisions would keep many of the natural rivals together, while playing one another before an expanded playoff format.
Here's a look at the possible realignment structure:
EAST
New York Yankees and Mets, Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins
WEST
Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners
CENTRAL
Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers |

Pirates and Braves need to flip flop but other than that it looks great.

Great news. Now we just need the NBA to come up with a plan.

Nightengale has had the exclusive for about 4 of these realignment plans so far and none of them have panned out.
