And the season is under way

Yanx @ Nats, Scherzer vs Cole

And I think, particularly given the shortened season, that we have to root for the Bronx in this one. Problem is, I'm pretty much incapable of doing so.

Of course with 37 teams from each league making the playoffs, it might not matter as much.



And Giancarlo has taken Scherzer deep w/2 outs in the top of the 1st for a 2-0 lead.





Giants @ Dodgers later

I suppose I could just root for each team's pitching staff (and particularly their aces) to get their butts kicked back and forth as Adam Eaton joins Stanton as being on pace for Babe Ruth's best single season HR total.

'The first step': Yankees, Nationals players all kneel before national anthem in MLB opener



Excerpt:


In a coordinated gesture between the reigning World Series champion Washington Nationals and New York Yankees before the first major league game played this year Thursday night, players clutched a black cloth that winded from the Nationals' first base line around to the Yankees on the third-base line.

Well not IN Wrigley Field but while the Cubs can close their stadium to spectators they don't control the buildings across the street so the roof-tops there have (sparsely packed) people in those seats making it

Re: And the season is under way

Every Yankee and National stood too, a large portion of the Nationals visited the White House just this last November, and the Yankees are inviting 45 to throw out at pitch at Yankee Stadium, so while yes, the Mets are probably mostly scumbag redneck republicans, they've still got a leg up on those two I guess, mostly by omissions. (The Mets supposedly have a 'surprise' person throwing out a first pitch in August, which most are assuming to mean Cuomo)



It's worth noting I don't think I heard a single reference to the police during any of these things, though admittedly I haven't been watching them religiously or anything, but I've seen no quotes or references to it. The closest is perhaps the Rays reminding people it's a good day to arrest the scumbags who murdered Breonna Taylor. It's great that this movement and the idea of unity and patches and support is leaguewide, but damn, sanitize the hell of it no?

Re: And the season is under way

So, the game had its first' tiebreaker' rule enacted Friday night. For the record Shohei Ohtani was the first player to hit a "magic double" as Gary Cohen has suggested it be named.

Problem was that Ohtani then got thrown out at 3rd on a grounder to 1st ... which was a double shame as the next batter singled. The Angels then popped out, walked and grounded out to kill the inning.



The bottom half of the 10th saw Hansel Robles on the mound to face the A's. So he plunks the first hitter; got a K for the first out but then threw a Wild Pitch followed by a walk [bases loaded / one out].

Out goes Robles, in comes someone named Hoby Milner (sounds like a ranch hand in on old western movie) ... who proceeds to give up a Grand Slam on his very first pitch.



Thanks for not coming, please stay home safely.

Wouldn't this "magic double" rule encourage or provide incentive for a visiting team pitcher in extra innings in a tied game, if so inclined, to plunk the first batter he faces in the inning? The plunked runner on first is meaningless with the winning run already magically doubled to second base. And tactically, the beaning sets up force plays on all the baserunners.

no, it's literally the point. If I say "I want pretzels to exist" you either want pretzels to exist, or you don't. You don't have to get up on a pulpit for Pretzels, though you should, as they're delicious, but any other stance on the matter only serves to detract from the point.



If I wanted to build a pretzel shop, and all the shops around where I built it got put up with no debate, saying "but what about a taco shop?" and "maybe you should build it over there?" or "the hot dog shop over there deserves to get built too! (even though it's under construction)" "or actually some pretzels are burnt and actually not good" it all detracts from the point.



but you clearly are avoiding facing the core of the issue. The statement is to stop letting the police kill black people disproportionately and with no accountability, any "yeah but" is literally saying black lives matter, but not THAT much, and that's clearly a bad take.



You can't yeah but "stop murdering" it should be such a universally agreed upon statement. And it mostly is. The entire world agrees, except a slim minority of assholes, and so many of those are political leaders and professional blow-hards that it becomes controversial.

Re: And the season is under way

Back to baseball for a moment if I may, a few highlights to recap the opening weekend of the return:



- each series finished 2-1 (or 1-2 depending on your POV) with the exception of LAD/SFG which finished 2-2 … meaning that for the first time since 1954, when the league was barely half the size of today,

not a single team got off to a 3-0 start.



- four Marlins tested positive on the eve of Sunday's game including Sunday's scheduled starter Jose Urena. The worst news for those guys is that now not only are they subject to quarantine but they have

to do so IN PHILADELPHIA!!!!



- Shohei Ohtani made his first start since early 2018 on Sunday (the Angels have designated him as their Sunday pitcher for the time being) but didn't retire a single batter: Single - Walk - Walk - Walk - Single - Single

and got hung with 5 earned on the day (infinite ERA for 2020 so far). At the plate he's 1-for-5 plus had a bad base-running mistake while serving as the designated extra-inning runner.



- Anyone remember Daniel Bard? He came up as a future-stud relief pitcher for the Sawx back in 2009, racked up two seasons of sub-1.00 WHIP in '10-'11 but then lost the plate in 2012 and was gone from

the majors after just one outing in 2013 with only brief minor league stints since (13 innings pitched in total including 2/3 of an inning w/4 earned as a Gulf Coast Met in 2017). Well he resurfaced with Colorado

this winter and got into a ML game for the first time in 7-1/2 years and got the win on Saturday with 1-1/3 innings of relief (0 Runs, 2 hits, 1 K)



- And finally Justin Verlander either is or is not out for the season after just one start with an elbow injury depending on who you ask. Verlander himself is, perhaps not surprisingly, in the 'Not' camp.

this is where being a high profile athlete sucks - if it were me i'd just hop in the car and drive home to quarantine there, because who wants to be in Philly?



Which brings up another point - Cuomo says anyone coming from certain states, including Florida, need to quarantine when they get here - how is that going to work for the Marlins/Rays or anyone who just played them? or are athletes again immune to rules?

Re: And the season is under way

oh, I'm sorry, are you bringing up a fucking Wendy's again when we're talking about cops murdering black people? The Wendy's where cops rolled up, harassed a drunk black man until he got aggressive, and then chased down the unarmed black man who was RUNNING AWAY (don't give me crap about a taser, it was discharged and they knew it, per the charges) and shot him?



I'm sorry, running after a drunk and unarmed black man isn't exactly what it'd look like if it was a damn deer in the woods?



Or breaking into someone's house, that isn't even the right house, for a crime that someone has already been arrested for, shooting a sleeping woman, who then was alive for 20 minutes while they ignored her and let her die, and then ARRESTING her boyfriend for daring to shoot at the intruders isn't hunting black people?



I admit I've never been hunting, but it must be pretty damn brutal if that doesn't qualify.







all, meanwhile, to bring it back to the damn fucking point, MLB puts on preformative gestures. OH THAT WAS NICE and then like 3 players actually kneel during the anthem, they get rid of the BLM on the mound real damn fast (gotta get that sponsorship money!) and we're rapidly getting back to ignoring it. Why are we even playing the national anthem at games within the nation, against each other, to an empty stadium? Oh right, performative patriotism.

less(ly) or pointless(ly)' debate about the right way to protest in my face like I'm the one carrying

on or something. It's delusional, at best. You're piling on an exponentailly inordinate amount of

crap on my shoulders - SLANDERING ME - that I have nothing to do with.

Re: And the season is under way


Oh, the fucking hypocrisy. The Yankees paint a BLM logo on their mound --likely against their will as that was an MLB thing-- but then invite Donald "KKK" Trump to throw out a ceremonial first pitch.


It's the crazy world of President Trump. Combined sources are claiming that Trump invited himself.to throw a first pitch at Yankee Stadium out of jealousy and resentment at all the attention Dr. Fauci was receiving from throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Nats opener.



Never a dull moment.

And instead he decides to cancel the gig, because he's too busy fighting the invisible enemy, and he goes golfing with Brett Favre.
