MLB Pseudo-Season 2020: Roger, Dodgers

It makes me a little sad watching the Detroit Tigers these days with the number 6 patch on their sleeves as a memorial to the late Al Kaline. Kaline was my first sports hero when I was a little guy in Toledo. RIP Al.

Roger Maris redux, w/ **

 

I see the full playoffs in a bubble plan is out, you know Manfred is going to gush about the world series in neutral location part, and want to make it permanent.

 

The Super Bowl scheme. "Bid on it, then We might grant you the rights."

 

Alec Mills (Cubs) just threw a no-hitter in Milwaukee.

 

The site of Carlos Zambrano's no-no vs the Astros. Great performance with a lot of help from the defense.

But more importantly, a nice 12-0 win.

 

Expanded playoffs here to stay?

Honestly, I can't see this happening without a reduction in the number of regular season games.

 

Double Header Saturday™...every Saturday, but not necessarily every team every Saturday. You follow?

They could keep 162 games but shave a week or two off the season.

 

I hope they stilll have the exhibition games in Montréal next year.

 

If Canada is letting anybody in by then. Buffalo Blue Jays might be another permanent change

 

I checked the Blue Jays' schedule and there doesn't seem to be any room for the Montréal games on it.

I mean, these games always used to come before the Jays' home opener, but they're booked solid for that time. Maybe this time they'll do it before the Jays' road opener? (there's a few days free before that game)

 

The best ad on a tarp cover that I have seen so far is at Wrigley:

Reynold's Wrap

 

This is a new one on me: Josh Donaldson was thrown out of the game after hitting a home run.

On the previous pitch, he argued with the umpire about a called strike to the point that the Rangers manager came out to further argue. After hitting the home run, he kicked dirt across home plate and he was immediately ejected. Then, and this is my favorite part, Donaldson turned back around from his trot to the dugout to kick even more dirt all over home plate.

 

That's baseball. don't cha' love it?

 

The Rays might be playing there by then.
