MLB 2020: We'll Play Ball, I Guess.

[Kepler]

That's awful. It's like what if we had a parody team from the fascist Earth of Starship Troopers.

Cleveland unveils Guardians as their new name.

That would’ve been very far down on my list of possible choices.

Yermin Mercedes appears to have retired via Instagram. Also deleted everything White Sox related. He was demoted to AAA earlier in the month.

La Russa crashes another Mercedes.

We need the Pirates to put a run together so this year all three Buc(k)s can win titles.

< groan >

... and I'm a Pirates fan .... Pops, Maddog, Cobra era ...

I saw my Chicago portion of FB and Twitter wondering what the hell is going on. He was hitting well in the MLB, but demoted to AAA. Went 0-3 tonight and was pulled for a PH in the 6th.... then posted that (apparently) from the locker room.

He pulled a George Constanza. Back in uniform tonight.

We may have the Las Vegas Athletics soon.

Oakland city council passes a stadium plan, but A’s ownership doesn’t like the amendments made to the prior working plans, now saying they likely can’t reach a deal.

**** corporate welfare.

When did Gary Thorne move to SNY?

When MASN was a dick and didn't resign his contract.

https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/...dre-story.html

He's just filling in on SNY for the weekend. I didn't know he also got his broadcast start with the Mets radio team.

I knew he was the long time Orioles announcer, but I most fondly recall his voice for the NHL on ESPN. I could listen to him read a phone book.

The Mets and Pirates just finished playing 7 consecutive games (last 4 before the break in NY, then the first 3 after in Pittsburgh).

Here are the line scores of games 4, 6, and 7:

PI 000 022 002
NY 500 000 000

NY 000 202 201
PI 000 000 054

NY 001 301 002
PI 600 000 000

At least the Mets overcame their LOLMets moment of the day.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the Guns! thread... but the Nats/Padres game was suspended in the 6th inning due to two people being shot outside the third base side of the stadium.

Shots could be clearly heard on the broadcast feeds. https://twitter.com/jessespector/sta...82474549846025
