The big hold up is over 10 games...
-
I was a strong runner then. I did over 1.25 miles in 6 minutes. And honestly, no one was pushing me...
-
Our soccer coach made us do a 6 minute run one year. Most of the team did get at least one mile in that time...
-
“Only four guys made the team that year...”
-
Soccer can be physical, but it is sometimes a surpringly slow-paced game in other countries. A big part of the reason is it’s like baseball in that any player taken out of the game cannot go back in. I played high school soccer, and we did not have that rule. So as a result, the game was much faster paced. (Also our skill level was such that a European-style controlled attack was above our level by a few miles..)
-
Oh yeah. I guess they are free agents and not draft picks. This small draft class has confused me a bit...
-
Worth mentioning, only Van Belle and Andrew are seniors, so the Sox might struggle to sign the majority as I believe this means they nearly all have options to return for next year's draft (barring those who hired agents)...
-
I think everyone gets the point; the 2020 MLB season is in serious jeopardy...
-
People who own MLB franchises do NOT deal in Replacement Level Mistresses, as measured in years under 30...
-
And I’m sure the 6 dissenters can make some deal to convince at least two more somehow. “If you vote to cancel, I’ll give you $25million in my stock options, my Persian red Lamborghini, the Tuscan villa, and two mistresses to be named later.”
-
I so do not get this logic. These owners have potentially a billlion dollars tied up in these teams, and they’d prefer a season with no financial recoup that throws the very future of the sport and their investment into question over a single season of potentially losing money?
-
How can you possibly forget a name like Brian Van Belle? It’s like some sort of Irish Franco-Dutch thing going on here...
-
Outside of one bunt by Gary Allenson some 38 years ago, how many bunt hits have been exciting? The only exciting bunt hit I have seen since then was by Tom Berenger in the movie “Major League”...
-
In general, fans prefer offense in any sport....
-
The top one appears to be RHP Brian Van Belle out of Miami, whom BA had at #16 on the undrafted senior list...
-
Not so sure viewers would flock to see BuntFest 2020...
-
Back-to-back no hitters is the pipe dream. First you have to hope any pitcher throws even one. And then every time someone does, that comes up and the excitement lasts a couple innings. .400 would be exciting, although it’s really not a record. The hitting streak is another interesting one. How about someone breaking Johnny Gochnauer’s record of 98 errors in a single season?
-
Oh I agree. All MLB Commissioners seem to struggle. Goodell stands out in the NFL as an idiot...
-
Goodell over Manfred?
-
Given how many bad commissioners MLB seems to have had, maybe it’s the toughest position among pro sports commissioners...
-
And which young Sox arms do you figure? Darwinzon Hernandez and Thad “Not In The 40 Man Roster” Ward? I will admit, I liked the Betts deal better when the Sox got Graterol...
-
I would doubt even Bloom foresaw an abbreviated season. MLB played a full season through the 1918 pandemic and they did not even know what a virus was then, let alone how to cure it...
-
We know he was trying to add pitching from his pursuit of Cal Quantrill. He was apparently looking to use adding high value/low AAV contracts as an enticement for other teams to give him what he wanted. It didn’t work with San Diego, but it’s possible he had other similar deals with in mind or possibly even in progress...
-
Oh I’m not crediting him with foreseeing a pandemic. I don’t even credit him with foreseeing Sale’s TJ (although it’s very possible he did know or strongly suspect at the time). But would you agree that these subsequent events made trading Betts the right move?
-
Trading Betts became the right move when Sale went down. The abbreviated season just emphasizes this...
