OT: MLB 2020 Discussion Opening Day and beyond

[njdevils1982]

holy f***!? …..is the world ending?…….a rare decent game by darvish for the cubs?! …..no f***ing way…….it actually happened tonight……

…..i almost dont believe it

 

[NJDevs26]

What do you mean? Darvish had a pretty good 2019 - 229 K in 178 innings, sub 4 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. It's the Cub bullpen being good that'd be the surprise, they're almost as bad as the Mets.

So about Betances

Wasn’t this the year he was going to be working his way back from a major injury? Or am I thinking of another pitcher?

Yeah he only pitched like one inning in 2019 between major injuries. But he's just bottled up in the vortex of suck that's the Met bullpen.

It’s been so long, I wasn’t sure if it had been 2 seasons already .

It almost has been considering we've had half of this one (at least) chopped off.

 

[NJDevs26]

Welp Brewers-Cardinals postponed for the weekend because the Cardinals have had more positive tests, looks like the Cardinals are out for a week at least and now 66% of the league's schedules are in chaos

All because some of these idiots can't be responsible...

 

[NJDevs26]

What's the use of having protocols if there is no actual enforcement or oversight?

It's absolutely pathetic that something as simple as personal responsibility can't be maintained by these idiots.

 

[Ripshot 43]

How F’n hard is it to go to work and then go home during a pandemic? They should have a system in place to fine and/or suspend players who were found to be putting their teammates and teams at risk.

 

[NJDevs26]

It is, but we probably shouldn't have expected any different. A lot of 20-30 year olds around the world think they're invincible, the virus isn't a big deal and it can't happen to them anyway. It's not just limited to MLB players.

 

[njdevils1982]

do this cubbies!!!

 

[Patrik26]

Remember, the players are special. They've been told over and over their entire lives how f*cking great and wonderful they are. Who are we or anyone else to tell them what to do?

 

[njdevils1982]

chatwood with a nice start tonight

edit: W 4-3……

holy f*** …...the bullpen almost blew it ….. 3 runs against in the 9th

 

[Jack Be Quick]

So the Mets literally can't lose?

That works for me.

 

[NJDevs26]

Now Cespedes has gone AWOL, no word to anyone on why he didn't show up at the park today. Could be opting out, could be another wild boar incident, or could actually be something darker.

 

[tr83]

Cespedes should have his contract voided at this point. The players should tell him to f*** off if the Mets dont have the cajones to can him

 

[NJDevs26]

Cespedes is opting out lol...somehow this shit only happens with the Mets where a guy goes AWOL without telling the team he's opting out

 

[Pitaya]

Let Cespedes rot at home, hes not worth playing anyway. Hes a quitter, a loser, and terrible at baseball all in one

 

[Ripshot 43]

Ah, and I believe it was just a week ago that ESPN had a big article on if this was going to be a huge year for Cespedes

 

[Devilsgrl35]

The fun never ends in Met land

 

[Patrik26]

The fun never ends in Met land

Harris and Blitzer want in on this? Not surprising.
