This schedule shit is a joke, are we really supposed to believe everything is set in stone when the 'rona is at its' worst right now?

Roch is the guy I follow for Os news. Looks like the players are practicing at Camden. I havent heard of any Os players testing positive.

Sucks for some teams who had to shut down facilities and cant practice while teams like the Os can .. for now.

In reality, it's really not. Death rate is way down. Media's reporting cases are up to scare people. Cases are up because testing is up.

Don't take my word for it...the CDC says so. It's on the edge of being downgraded from a pandemic to an epidemic.

Mortality attributed to COVID-19 decreased compared to last week and is currently at the epidemic threshold but will likely increase as additional death certificates are processed.

Regardless he will constantly be compared with Martin, who the scouting seems to suggest being limited in the field.

Chance they could finish a season with single-digit wins!

Heard about the hard times Nats are having getting their testing done efficiently. IMO Zim is making the right choice sitting out.

Posey is out. Says not a difficult decision

It’s gonna be something else to see baseball have a 60 game sprint. To take such a long season traditionally and knock it down this short, should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to see how the Braves play.

You're a Braves fan too? We're redwolves from the same pack.

Fuck yes!

Good for the Braves. Isnt Markakis waiving out of this season? Seems like an obvious replacement.

I know the Os offered him but we never knew the $ or length. Much like the Skins, we need to play the young guys and tank for another year.

^^ bummed about Richie Martin thought he would have gotten some playing time this weird season

July 25th...i need baseball back in my life

Honestly I cannot even take any sport seriously until this shit is over. Everything is skewed. Guys not playing for safety. Guys who get the virus. No preseason in football. That is obviously going to hurt teams without veteran quarterbacks and new coaches (us). NBA - too many guys opting out. All four of my teams could win ..,well three of them ..Yankees, Flyers, Sixers all very much in contention for a championship- and I will not even care. It is total bologna.
