makes zero sense unless everyone gets miraculously healed.   That includes Tuve.

I guess MLB has decided that the Angels have no shot at the playoffs and Rangers won’t be in the WS

 

[Guest]

The Padres just collectively orgasmed at the thought of playoff games in Arlington.

This isn't a good look for the Astros training staff. Both knees? How did they miss this?

I said something similar a few weeks back. His knee problems weren’t a secret so I don’t think they missed it. The doctors must have made the decision to not to take care of it in the offseason. Obviously they made the wrong one. 

[kevwun 15647]

Outside of double knee replacement or an accident, I don't think I've ever heard of someone needing both knees operated on.

I went to hs with a guy that needed it. He’d run wide open and it looked like he was running in slow motion. We called him ‘pokey’, great guy 

[TonyTexas 10482]

This is as good as it’s going to get for a while

 

[Scraps 13542]

Fuck the A's

[Scraps 13542]

Oh and also it may get better sooner than that.  Mayfield out Diaz in soon hopefully:

 

Some injury updates from Baker: - Alex Bregman is in Corpus Christi and doing some running - Aledmys Díaz could join team tomorrow. - Brad Peacock and Chris Devenski are throwing - Jose Urquidy threw 50 pitches yesterday or today. He said earlier on 790 AM he was 10 days away.

[Scraps 13542]

Also Dusty has no clue if they are even playing tonight even at this moment.  He said it is up to the players and if they feel they need to play or not.  

 

I would guess they would seeing as though it is Jackie Day, but who knows.

Doesn’t appear so?

LMJ is sitting and hasn’t warmed up at all 

[Scraps 13542]

That will show them!

[TonyTexas 10482]

Let’s Play Two!

Tomorrow. 

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

Game cancelled?  

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Sports leagues are going to dig their own graves. See y’all tomorrow

[DoobieWah 1411]

Burn it down baby. Burn it down!!!

[WBT 20421]

I don't understand not playing as a protest but whatever.  Also, if they're not going to play why do both sides go through the motion of coming to the park and dressing out?

Also seems like a dick move to not let the A's know and force their starter to warm up.  And the A's must be doubly outraged as they're sitting out two days in a row.

[Lat22 3994]

Fuck those motherfuckers.

[Gourmand 7774]

Good on em.

A's were the ones that chose to sit out yesterday...they can't really be that mad at having 2 in a row seeing as though we didn't have a game to sit out yesterday.

[tx 3 putt 76372]

peaceful protest, no reason to hate

i'll watch tomorrow and every game after 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Wtf is going on?

[cabowabo 4453]

Can I not go to work on Monday to “reflect” for the day?

[Gourmand 7774]

"As a black person, it's been really hard to stick to sports....

You want us to stick to sports, you need to listen to us....


Black. Lives. Matter."

Robert Ford brought it!

Hopefully some of you were listening to the radio pbp because what Robert Ford had to say was worth hearing. He had a lot to say and I'm glad he said it. 

[Scraps 13542]

Game 1 @3:10 tomorrow

[Gourmand 7774]

Y'all need to chill out if you're butthurt, there will be baseball tomorrow.

Wanna make a statement I'd pay attention to?   postpone all sports until there are no murders for 24 consecutive hours in Chicago and NYC.

Show me you care about lives and not politics.

This shit is so fucking stupid  and grandstanding.

 

 

[DoobieWah 1411]

We’re going to honor Jackie Robinson by not playing baseball today.

 

ooookkkkaaayyy

Those murders are a product of the system they are protesting. Politics changes lives. See: the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
