Good
morning.
So
far, none of my friends or family have tested positive. In fact, I don’t know
anyone other than members of the Met community (John
Sickels, Michael Baron, Anthony Causi) that has tested positive;
however, I do live in a little bit of a bubble in rural South Carolina.
I’m
curious. Have you or any of your friends, co-workers, or loved ones come down
with this?
@RationalMLBFan: I understand wanting to try to play as many
games in the 2020 season as possible, even if it means teams playing into
October and the playoffs pushing into November; however, how late is too late
that it would shorten the off-season too much and thereby compromise the 2021?
Dan Szymborski: I think December is probably too
long. They can shorten spring training, after all. I personally think spring training is already
long by two weeks.

Our friend Anthony Causi continues
to fight his way through. He’s stable & getting stronger every day. It’s a
long road ahead but his vitals and levels are good.

MLB teams and prospective players have been informed that
some of the scouting restrictions that eliminated any contacts between scouts
and coaches and players have been lifted. Teams can now contact players
remotely (not in person).
Teams and scouts can now do online conversations and request
video from prospective draftees. But that video has to be from activities of
March 27 or before. Any "new" video is prohibited for now.
The same is true for requests of data. A player can send
Rapsodo/HitTrax/Trackman data from activities from before March 27. But for now
they cannot be asked for data for after that time period.
While we are sitting around wondering if the Mets will be
back in 2020 and, if they don’t come back until next season, what’s that going
to look like roster wise.
Let’s remember…
The following is a list of prospect types players that
will be ready to come to the majors full time:
SP: David Peterson, Harol Gonzalez, Franklyn
Kilome
RP: Ryley Gilliam, Stephen Villines, Adonis
Uceta
C: Patrick Mazeika, Ali Sanchez
IF: Andres Gimenez

Just found two bottles of sanitizer that expired in 2017.
This is like following a treasure map for three weeks and opening up a chest
filled with Confederate dollars.

Tom Dempsey, famous for his 63 yard field goal,
is another victim of coronavirus. RIP
Just found out someone who rents basement got it. Hoping it does not spread up.

ReplyDeleteYOUR basement?
Wow.
What is the next step? Does he stay in your house? Is the only exit into your upper levels?

ReplyDeleteThis gives new meaning to the expression 'close to home'.
i don´t understand the ban on new videos. They are videos, not live, in-person visits.

DeleteGood question.
The Georgia governor issued a stay in place order for the entire state.
He then opened the beaches.
Does this mean you can't get out of the ocean?
Crazy times.
Mack, it’s complicated. We’ll leave it at that.
ReplyDeleteAs for anyone I know who has or had the virus, it is possible my sister had it in mid- to late-February. She had a lot of the symptoms and it lasted for over two weeks. She went to a doctor who wouldn't even bother to test for corona because it was too rare in the U.S. at the time (We thought).
ReplyDeleteAs for how late the season can run, one thought I had was finding 15 cities in Australia and New Zealand that could host December games. Can't get more neutral than that, and it is late spring and early summer down there in December.
