  1. Manfred will have to ban certain robots from sitting in the stands due to evidence that they helped the Stros win the WS in 2020. No draft pick loss. The robots will just be decommissioned.
  2. Nothing you presented comes to the conclusion that it's "highly" likely he won't be back. It just says there's a chance he won't come back. Sorry if the media aren't falling in line with your weird "cheating" stance. Cora wasn't involved in cheating here, but you won't recognized that. Cora was a fall guy in HOU because he was no longer with the organization. All the leaks that came out have stated that the Astros cheating began before Cora was even there. That would just require some critical thinking and reevaluation on your part.
  3. I'd rather have half a wit than no wit. To each his own.
  4. I stopped reading after "no s*** Sherlock" because he's not really known for his wit. Getting ready to pound that "report post" button................................................................................
  5. You said "highly unlikely." Nothing you've shown states that it's "highly unlikely."
  6. They are already off the books. Pedroia is off after 2021.
  7. And Cotillo's article (which has already been posted here) doesn't provide an argument that "makes it appear highly unlikely that Cora will be returning to Boston." The hardest your boy Chris came with was "it’s fair to wonder if a fresh start might be best." Ouch! Got 'em!
  8. Some people go straight to the NY media to get their hot Boston Red Sox takes for some reason. Not that the NY media would want to downplay the Sox chances or anything...
  9. Funny. I was just revisiting lots of posts from 2012 and people over and over were saying "the Sox have no pitching, they'll never get close to another ring." One year later, with the same pitching staff plus Koji, they win it all by adding some bats like Napoli, Gomes, Victorino, Carp, Drew and Ross.
  10. JBJ Pillar Workman McHugh Lucroy JD has opt out.
  11. The pizza throwing would be much more accurate. Also, no fan interference during games would be great!
  12. The Sox have a recent history of being able to turn around their prospects really quickly. 2012 to 2013. 2015 to 2016 - 2018.
  13. IMO, they aren't going to act like they want Cora back while Roenicke is the manager. They'll wait until after this season because they won't want to undermine him.
  14. COVID precautions currently planned for: During games, non-playing personnel must wear masks in the dugout and may be relegated to the stadium seats, where they must sit at least four seats apart from and two rows behind each other. Once a baseball has been put in play and touched by multiple players, it’ll be tossed aside and replaced with a new one. Between pitches, players are encouraged to be as distanced from one another as possible. The lives of players and other employees off the field will involve many of the restrictions and protocols that have been speculated about over the last few weeks. Everyone is strongly encouraged to leave their hotel rooms as little as possible, and avoid using taxis or rideshare services when they must travel. Players must take a temperature check every day when they wake up, and again when they arrive at the stadium — if it’s over 100 degrees, they will immediately be sent into isolation and administered a COVID-19 test. Tests will be conducted on all personnel regularly, and occasionally, blood tests will be taken to determine the presence of coronavirus antibodies.
  15. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/parsing-mlbs-claim-of-a-4-billion-loss/ Last week, MLB presented documents to the player’s union regarding the financial implications of playing the 2020 season without fans. In an exclusive report, the Associated Press has revealed a considerable amount of the contents of those disclosures. The main takeaways are in the title — “MLB projects $640K per game loss with no fans” — and the third paragraph, which reads: Teams say the proposed method of salvaging a season delayed by the coronavirus pandemic would still cause a $4 billion loss and would give major league players 89% of revenue. That $4 billion figure was echoed by Commissioner Rob Manfred on CNN on Friday, except that he indicated in that interview those would be the losses if no season is played. Given that these documents are an attempt to convince the MLPBA to take less money and to put public opinion on the side of the owners against the players, it is fair to take these figures with a bit of a grain of salt.
  16. It's probably a smaller factor than you realize...
  17. It's not the Astros' job to minimize Minute Maid's business risk. If they ever do non-baseball activities at Minute Maid Park, they still call it "Minute Maid Park." It's not like they take the sign down between games. Just give them free ad time or whatever and throw them a bone.
  18. Most of the ST stadiums already have their own corporate sponsors though. Unless you're going to say: "presenting live baseball at FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches hosted by Minute Maid."
  19. You’re the only one saying it’s Marxist. The rest of us are talking about the on going labor negotiations.
  20. If you want to fill your diaper, don’t bring it here. This is the baseball forum, dumb dumb.
  21. Seems like he was TRIGGERED!
  22. Seems like it. Wanting a Red Sox baseball forum to be just about Red Sox and baseball is too much to ask. Maybe EN just can’t figure out where to Off Topic forum is?
  23. Feel free to yell about communists in your front yard. There isn’t “free speech” on this site. People have been banned all the time for speech and that’s fine.
  24. Stop. This isn’t the forum for your garbage.
