    Re: Are We Gonna Baseball?

    Nashville crashed out of the MLS restart tournament for COVID reasons. That makes two teams felled in that league. At a bare minimum, we're probably going to see some MLB teams have to rely on a big chunk of (or completely on) their B squads when they see a spike in positive tests.

    Let's hope it's the Astros.

    I don't give the Astros any hope of getting through this.

    They are probably cooking up some scheme on how to “beat” a COVID test.

    Ctrent has an agenda. And It isn’t to discuss baseball, either.

    He’s a loser.

    If MLB was worried about 10k cases, should they not be more worried about 50k cases?
    Right? That is what I can't wrap my head around. Why did we shut everything down when just a handful of people had it, then reopen everything when a lot of people have it? Seems crazy to me.

    I think it is a lot of different things.

    1. We know more about what the disease does.
    2. We had virtually no testing then. Today we have 100s of thousands tested every day. Big difference right there.
    3. We had no idea how to treat those who contract the disease. Today there are several steps the medical community can do to try and treat it.
    4. Baseball makes its money at postseason. Cutting down to 60 games and then a postseason puts money in the owners pockets.

    Those are some reasons but I have a feeling the rankings might be a little different for some.

    I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.

    c.trent does seem to be rooting for no season. he comes across like a guy who doesn't want to work and would view it as a vacation. he might act like he "loves baseball" but his actions speak otherwise.

    we were so spoiled for so long with great reds' writers. now we have guys like c.trent who think they are as important as the players.

    I'm pretty sure it's against the rules of the board, for starters. But it's also childish and disrespectful. Be better.
