It is that time again WIN METHOD fans. The 2019 baseball season has concluded. The best teams and the best players made it to the playoffs and after advancing through the playoffs by winning each series and eliminating each team they played, the Washington Nationals won the World Series and are the best baseball team and the best baseball players in the world. Congratulations to the Nationals for all you have accomplished. There is only one way for a team and for players to become the best of the best, and that is with wins and winning. No individual stat matters. Only wins and winning make you the best. Sorry stat frauds, when you learn this you will learn real baseball.
Yes, the 2019 season is over. The YANKEES did their best and it was not good enough as they lost to the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series. However, it looked like the YANKEES took enough out of the Astros that it may have cost them winning the World Series. The YANKEES will need some work to do this winter to find and to put together the last few pieces they need to become the best of the best. Considering the massive amounts of crippling injuries our YANKEE team had to endure over the season, making the playoffs was a fine achievement in itself. But that was the past. Now we look to the future.
There are likely as many opinions as there are YANKEE fans on what the team needs to do over the winter to '"win it all" in 2020. There is the free agent route with several pieces available, there are our own pieces available who if healthy for an entire season will help, and then there are own in house pieces available that are blooming and growing in the minors. Several of which may contribute greatly in 2020. There are also trade possibilities that may become on option.
YANKEE management will be busy this winter. How much money to spend on talent. Is the money spent worth the investment? Paying players very high salaries for multiple years is seldom a remedy, and in fact has hurt teams who have gone that route more than it has helped them, The trade route is a possibility, but it takes two parties to make a deal that each party feels is good for their team. Then there is the bloom and grow route. Spring training will provide some answers, but the hot stove will be only ashes before spring training provides some answers. We will just have to see what happens and how things shake out this winter and spring. Each decision made by management determines how and what the next decision may be. Throwing money at big contracts is up to management. You WIN METHOD fans know my opinion on big long term contracts, 'just say no'. We said no to Harper and Machado last year and it paid dividends over the season as the YANKEES made the playoffs even with all the injuries. Harper and Machado each cost their team a lot of dollars and neither team made the playoffs and are saddled with many years of an overpaid single piece of talent.
Lets all have a fun hot stove season, keep offering your opinions, thoughts, and ideas, and be happy you are not the one making the decisions. Remember fans, the YANKEE management team has more knowledge and information than you (we) do. There must be financial limits and that is one thing everyone should remember. So, here we go, let's turn on the stove and see what we can cook up. LETS GO YANKEES.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1666 Newer› Newest»Yankees get their first spring training game win 4-1 today as minor leaguers do it all for Yankees. The Yankees used 8 pitchers to throw 9 innings of one run four hit baseball and the offense was all minor leaguers with the big hit by Herrera a 2 run triple to win the game.
Can you spell L-O-A-D-E-D.
Louie Louie out for season with Tommy John surgery. The door opens wider for the youngsters.
Tough luck for Louie Louie as the door gets slammed shut in his face. Another door opens wide looking for who of the young pitchers will come through. Positives are a stepping stone while negatives are a broken crutch.
Louie Louie will likely miss half of next year also. That adds up to about 2 1/2 to 3 years of little to no pitching. Tough road to come back from, but he may come back even better with less wear and tear on his arm.
Are the Yankees trying to have back to back injury record breaking seasons? No matter, we will play thru any roadblocks.
Yes we can and yes we will.
Time for the young pitchers to show if they can produce when it matters most. Step up guys, this is your chance.
With spring training here and all that is happening I must get back to the cheating scandal by the Astros and sux and the Rob Manfred. Manfred is as much as a low life as the players and management who did the cheating. Manfred should lose his job for doing nothing in punishing the cheats.
Yanks23245, What you said. The young pitchers need to earn their spots. The door is open, who and or how many will step up and step thru the door.
Tanaka makes his first start tomorrow against the Nationals. 1PM game time.
The good of the Louie Louie TJ surgery is the news came very early in camp. Gives the Yankees and the players time to plan their decisions based on who steps up to the challenge of winning a rotation spot.
Every time I come to read and post here on the WIN METHOD blog I thank God. The intelligence and wisdom by the posters here are unmatched (not even close) at any other site or blog. What a pleasure to read this worlds greatest and best Yankee site/forum/blog.
Yes fans, we will overcome the Louie Louie setback. We are the Yankees.
Steve, what makes this Yankee forum even better than the best, there are no advertisements, no popups, no selling, no clutter, and no shutdowns. The WIN METHOD blog is the best in the world.
Yanks lead Nats 8-2 after 4. Tanaka worked 2 innings and gave up 2 run HR.
Final, Yanks win 8-2. Five innings only as storms came. Britton, Green, and Kahnle each worked a scoreless inning.
Andujar played left field today.
Several Yankee players played four to five innings today as they build their bodies back into baseball shape.
Happ makes his second spring start tomorrow against in Tampa as Yankees host Rays. 1 PM on MLBTV.
Stanton injured again with calf strain. Oh well, a 2019 deja vu.
In my opinion Stanton has all these injuries because of his extensive weight lifting regimen. He has become muscle bound and any extended use of muscles by way of running, twisting, etc causes them to strain.
Tony Manchu, I have heard about that. You hit the nail on the head, that seems to be exactly what Stanton is and why he keeps having injuries like is having repeatedly.
Today's game.

Loaisiga goes final 2 innings. 0 runs 0 hits 0 walks 4 Ks. Yanks win 7-1.
As Phil Jenkins posted a couple day ago, can you spell L-O-A-D-E-D.
Four potential Yankee starters today combined for 1 run, 7 hits, 0 walks, and 9 K's. Nice.
And then there is Monty and Deivi too. And then by June there is German and Paxton. And then, never mind I'm tired. Last words, best pitching in baseball.
Deivi starts tomorrow against Atlanta at one o'clock. Does he match todays quartet?
King, Schmidt, and Loaisiga set the bar reasonably high for Deivi.
Kudos to Ford and Frazier on their home runs today. Don't forget the offense.
Louie Louie has had his TJ surgery and doctors say it was successful.
We could see Louie Louie the second half of next year. A long haul for the kid. And a lot of work ahead.

It is just the beginning of spring training but our catcher Gary 'meatball' Sanchez is batting 0 for spring training so far. Maybe we can jinx him into getting a hit at some point.
Guy Padikian, as of yet the sad part of Sanchez's spring is he is not hitting the ball hard or hitting in tough luck. He has looked terrible. Hope the pendulum swings the other way. If not, he will be a giant black hole in the lineup.
Yankees leading 4-2 after five.
Yanks fall 10-4 as meatball goes 0-3 and is 0-spring training.
Our Yankees have an off day tomorrow.
Judge seeing special specialists today about his shoulder issues.
Tanaka faces sux tomorrow at 1 PM.
Haven't heard a peep on Judges tests today in NYC.
All we can do is hope for the best. No matter what we will deal with the result and make the best of anything thrown at us. We have buried the stat frauds alive and choked them on their own ignorant words and beliefs.
Still nothing on Judge but I would think we should hear something soon.
From Cashman now.... Judge is said to be “responding well” to the treatment he has received, but his timeline remains uncertain.

First MLB lineup of spring. If Judge and Stanton out for opening day this could be close to opening day lineup. Issue is Gary "meatball" Sanchez.
No way on this earth should Sanchez be batting cleanup. Until he show he can hit consistently he shouldn't even be in the lineup.
Sanchez just swung and missed a pitch and the bat went further than any ball he has hit so far this spring. 200 feet down left field line and 20 rows back into the seats.
Judge is having right pectoral issues. Likely to miss opening day.
Yankee pitchers give up one run and two hits today and retire the last sixteen sux batters in a row on the way to a 9-1 Yankee rout of the sux.
Sanchez did get a hit today. An 80 foot roller to the first baseman where the pitcher did not cover first base. He is 1-12 this spring with an .083 batting average.
Happ makes his third start tomorrow for the Yankees as they host the Phillies at 6:30 pm in Tampa.
Judge is getting treatment for his right pectoral muscle. Rest and treatment will take time and how he and the injury responds will determine how long he will be out of action.
Chapman to make his first spring appearance in tonight's game with Phillies.
Violent swings strain can strain muscles as well as tendons, ligaments, etc.
By gosh, I forgot all about Chapman what with all our youngsters doing so well, both starters and relievers.

Yankees have a catcher tonight who can hit.
Guy Padikian, Iannetta with an RBI single in first at bat tonight. 1000X better than Sanchez.
Happ, 4 innings, 0 runs, 2 hits, 1 walk, 6 K's. Sweet.
Chapman did not get in game tonight. Final, 3-2 Yankee win,
Cole starts tomorrow against Tigers. 1PM on MLBtv.
Heads up Yankee fans, Torres made another error yesterday at shortstop. Three so far this spring. Considering how few innings he has played the errors are at an enormous rate. Something to watch out for when the season starts.

Boone is surely giving Sanchez enough rope to hang himself. Or is it for him to right his sinking ship.
Yankee spring trainings stats for their catchers.....at bats and hits.....
1.Deglan 3 for 5
2.Iannetta 6 for 11
3.Kratz 3 for 11
4.Higashioka 3 for 13
5.Thole 2 for 9
6.Sawyer 1 for 5
7.Sanchez 1 for 12
8.Sands 0 for 1
Scary to think that Gary 'meatball' Sanchez is the number one catcher as of now.
Cory, allow me to add, Sanchez's one hit was an 80 foot infield roller to the first baseman and the pitcher did not cover first base. If the pitcher covered first Sanchez still would not have a hit. Looking on the bright side, he is do.
Cole had a fun outing today. 2 innings 4 home runs 6 runs. For laughs I can see him pulling the stat frauds chain by complaining of some kind of soreness somewhere on his body.
Chapman now slated to pitch tomorrow. No issues, Boone and Chapman just changed their mind.
While I am writing, Andujar drops throw for error at first base.
"meatball" does his thing, 0-2 both K's, while Higashioka has 2 home runs.
One heck of a crazy game today. Yankee pitching staff getting it all out of their system. Remember, negativity is for the loser's of life's lottery. Down 15-8 as of now.
Final. Yanks go down 15-11. Looked like and old time class D league from back in the 50's.
One thing did not change for the Yankees today, Gary Sanchez didn't hit the ball K'ing twice.
Deivi starts tomorrow night at 6:30PM against the Orioles in Tampa.
I sort of like games like yesterdays once in awhile. It puts things in perspective and opens eyes. For good teams that is good, not so much for bad teams.

Sanchez gets a chance to show his stuff against his favorite team.
Guy Padikian, if Sanchez just makes contact that will be better than what he has been doing all spring.
Rotation to start the season barring injury. Cole, Tanaka, Monty, Happ, any of one of (King, Schmidt, Cessa). Deivi being young goes to AAA for seasoning for sure.
Aaron Judge has a stress fracture of a rib. 2 weeks off and review forthcoming.
Gary MEATBALL Sanchez upped his game tonight. No hits in two at bats with a strikeout. Also added he gave up two runs when he failed to catch/block pitches with runners on third base.
Also Gleyber Torres made his fourth error of the spring.
Also Aroldis Chapman pitched his first inning of the spring. It was scoreless with one strikeout and one walk.

If only we could switch injuries.
MEATBALL did not take BP today in Tampa because of a sore back. Thinks it’s from playing back to back games for the first time this spring. Or maybe it's from him being pathetic.
Trailing 3-1 after seven innings, the Yankees minor leaguers score six runs in the eighth and go on to win 7-4. It was minor leaguers who performed when it mattered for the win. As a matter of fact two of the three Pirate runs were given up by Loaisiga.
Yankees will play split squad games tomorrow. Tanaka will start one game against the Braves and Schmidt will start the other against the Orioles. Both game have a 1 PM start.
Push your clocks ahead one hour tonight.

We need a catcher, a real catcher. Not a whining sniveler.
Tanaka goes a very strong 3 2/3 innings against Atlanta today. No runs, one hit, no walks, and four strikeouts.
Yankees defeat Braves 1-0 on a brilliantly pitched game by Yankee top tier relievers and Tanaka starting. Staff gave up just 2 hits.
Yanks/Orioles end in 5-5 tie. Yankees were bitten by some fluke hits, bad bounces, wind, and iffy defense allowing all the Orioles runs. Yanks used mostly lower tier players. A should have won game, but it is only a spring training game.
Happ listed as starter for tomorrow's game versus Phillies at 1PM.
If you are fair and objective Chris Iannetta should open the season as Yankee starting catcher. He has earned the job while MEATBALL has lost the job.
The problem with Iannetta is age and no upside. But the way Sanchez has been going, anyone alive would be better. I do not think Higashioka is an answer either but he is also better than Sanchez right now. Sanchez is creating more drama than the team needs right now.
If we have to play MEATBALL, he has to bat 7th or 8th until he earns moving up in the lineup. The way he is hitting he is a black hole and black holes show up far to many times when it matters most. That is not good for the team.
I find it very sad for Yankee fans that the injury ridden season of 2019 is carrying over into the 2020 season. What I find saddest is that some fans blame players, managers, coaches, owners, doctors and anyone they can come what with. These same fans make up stories about these people they blame as being stupid, incompetent, and any other foul adjective they wish to fill in the blank with as the ones responsible for everything. Those fans should be ashamed of themselves and I am afraid they are a product of the progressive liberal left wing democratic party of this nation who are leading the USA down a path of despair, depravity, and doom. I am over ninety years old, seen a lot and done a lot and don't have much more time left in me. I would like to thank all the fans here for so much upbeat and positive thinking and comments they have made here for over the past decade. Stay well everyone and do what you can to save our country.

At this stage of spring training, did you believe this would be the Yankee lineup half way thru?
Guy Padikian, Amazing how a 36-37 year old catcher can play and produce everyday, but a 25 year old moans and groans about every ache and pain, plays every other day maybe, and is unable to produce.
William Mensom, yes, God bless you and thank you for your insightful comments all these years.
Frazier misplays fly ball into a double.
Happ with four solid innings. 70 pitches, 1 run (solo home run) 3 hits, 0 walks, 5 strikeouts. 1-1 after 4 innings.
Chapman works another scoreless inning today. Michael King throws two shutout innings and then in his third inning gives up a 2 run home run and takes the loss as Yankees go down 3-1.
William Mensom, You are a delight. Peace be with you.
Cole goes tomorrow against Nationals, one o'clock.

Yankees go down 4-2. Cole below average 3 1/3 innings giving up 2 runs with 6 Ks. Montgomery brilliant 4 innings, 12 up 12 down with 5 Ks. Heller gives up 2 in 9th for loss.
I have bad vibes, I think Torres is going to be a disaster at shortstop. He also misplayed a ball today that he didn't get an error on. A play Jeter would have made blindfolded.
Deivi starts tomorrow against Detroit. 1PM
Schmidt has pitched better than King and Deivi so far but he is not on the 40 man roster. King will start season as 5 starter in my opinion.

As the minor league camps open MLB teams will be dispersing their talent and the higher graded organizational talent will see more playing time in the coming spring training games.
Deivi, if he makes a statement with a great effort today, will give the Yankees much to think about.
Yankees go down 3-1. Deivi so so giving up 3 runs in 3 1/3. Cessa better going 3 2/3 allowing 0 runs on 1 hit. Cessa may be earning fifth spot in rotation. That would allow Schmidt, King, and Deivi to start the season in minors and hone their skills to see which one gets called up first.
Deivi was a little unlucky today. But that is part of the game. He had men on and couldn't get the third out when it mattered most allowing a 2 rbi seeing eye grounder between third and short that in the final look meant the game.
Zack Britton was hit on the wrist of his non throwing arm during batting practice today. X-rays negative and there appears to be no issue going forward.
Yankees only used 3 pitchers today. Starters are going longer each time out.
Loaisiga to start tomorrow.
It is getting close to the time Yankee players need to get serious and make sure they are ready to start the season and win. If they don't win they will have no chance at being the best.
Sad to say Tauchman is having a worse spring than the meatball. Not making solid contact. Looks terrible at the plate.

MLB announced starting tomorrow spring training and all operations suspended. Further announcements forthcoming.
Wade with the big hit today, a two run home run. Tauchman got his second hit of the spring. But alas, everything come to a halt because of a Chinese virus that they tried to hide.
No baseball until further notice. DOWNER!!!
MLB update....spring training over. Regular season delayed minimum of 2 weeks/
Unbelievable.
It will be very interesting seeing how all this shakes out with scheduling and uneven schedules vs divisional rivals.
How many of you remember the swine flu of 2009 in the USA. The coronavirus is mild compared to the swine flu which killed thousands of Americans under the age of 65. But the swine flu was kept quiet by the corrupt, foul, and prejudiced media. Now the same media is exploiting and blowing the coronavirus to scare Americans. Think people, and think what the media has been trying to do for the past three years and why.
I forget, here is the documentation for the swine flu. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21342903
I, my family, and my friends are all doing what we always have done on a daily basis. We go out to eat, go shopping, go to work, travel, etc etc. Coronavirus is real, but it is not debilitating. And it has very little to no chance of killing you like the swine flu did just 10 years ago. Jill Byrnes is right, this is a media hoax.
People, this is a baseball forum and I realize there is no baseball right now. The culprit is the media and their blowing up of the coronavirus. When the coronavirus starts killing hundreds and then thousands of healthy Americans liked the swine flu did in 2009 then it will be something to truly worry about. Don't take the fake medias bait baseball fans. They have an agenda and it is not a good agenda for the American people. If you get the coronavirus you will live and it is very likely you won't even get the virus. I live in the cesspool of Seattle and I am not doing anything different than I always do.
Jill Byrnes, I can't believe the hospitalizations and deaths from the swine flu. It was hid from the people, now the coronavirus is made to be the end of the earth. Stop the media nonsense now and lets play baseball.
We have right now 40 deaths in the USA and everything is getting shut down. In 2009 in one year the USA had 18,000 deaths from the swine flu and nothing was shut down. In 2009 you had the terrorist supporter and enabler Obama as president and the media kissing his behind. Now we have the America and Americans first president Trump and the media is trying to destroy him. UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
If the season is delayed maybe Judge and Stanton will be ready to go for the whenever start. Also, Paxton and German return come sooner into the season.
Pretty much everyone who come here to the WIN METHOD blog knows that the WIN METHOD promotes winning by players who produce when it matters most while stat frauds promote individual stats and support players with the highest individual stats even when they do not help their team win or are essence losers. The same can be said for the media which is hand in hand with the philosophy of stat frauds. As WIN METHOD fans we know the stat frauds are fools and or believe in fake numbers, so they are relegated to the meaningless category by fans in the know. That is the same as the media, they lie, they make things up, and they lead their followers down the Rangoon Receptacle. The media hides facts in 2009 where overwhelming amounts of Americans were hospitalized and thousands upon thousands died and the media said nothing. Now the media streams fake news stories and repeats over and over how deady and how bad the coronavirus is while it is a very mild and a very minor virus compared to the deadly swine flu virus. Hang in there fans, all this will pass and we will have an election and the people who are not fools and haven't been fooled will re-elect America's greatest president.
Warren Hammond, hear hear.
What a great press conference by Trump with CEO's from several major companies a little while ago. So uplifting and positive.
Team spokesman said today that the Yankees have voted as a team to stay in Tampa camp and work out together as a team during the MLB suspension of baseball games.
Very likely after the shutdown and baseball starts the guys on the team who want it more will come out on all cylinders firing. The players on the teams that stay in camp as a unit you would think will have an edge when the games count.
I love that the guys want to stay in camp as a team. Sounds WIN METHOD and smart.
The best thing for the players to do is be out in the fresh air and sunlight in spring training camp which is a controlled and protected space. All players are monitored daily and as needed. Keep training and be ready. To hell with the ignorant naysayers.
Very few if anyone remembers the swine flu outbreak, hospitalizations, and deaths. All hid and covered up by the obama administration, the democrat liberals, and the media. They are all a disgrace to the nation. Remember fan, vote for America in November, vote for low unemployment, rising wages, a great economy, building the wall, and making America great and giving people their freedom.
Joke of he day....Gary 'meatball' Sanchez struck out against the batting machine today. He missed 3 pitches, also fouled off 3 balls, 3 infield popups, and an infield roller on his 10 pitch sequence.
yankeedoodledandy, that is funny. Sadly, so much truth is found in humor.
Stay safe fans only hang with WIN METHOD fans.
Staying at home would be fine if there was baseball to watch.
Yankee minor leaguer has been reported with coronavirus. Has recovered within a few days. Here is info: TAMPA, Fla. -- A Yankees Minor League player has tested positive for the coronavirus, general manager Brian Cashman said on Sunday, marking the first known case to impact the Major League Baseball world.
The team is not divulging the player’s identity, citing HIPAA regulations, and Cashman said that the player’s symptoms are improving.
“The player’s symptoms have dissipated, and he is resolved symptom-wise,” Cashman said. “No more fever, no more fatigue. He is much better, although he is still isolated.”
According to Cashman, the player called the club on Friday morning to report a fever and fatigue. He did not report to the facility, and team medical staff checked his temperature before testing him for influenza and strep throat.
Both tests were negative, prompting the club to send him to Tampa General Hospital on Friday morning for what Cashman said was the first -- and, to date, only -- coronavirus test issued to any Yankees player, coach or employee. The positive result was delivered to the Yankees late on Saturday by a laboratory in Tallahassee, Fla.
“He’s a younger player, and so because of that -- first and foremost, he was not in any of the groups that were with Major League players,” Cashman said. “We did our due diligence about any staff members or Major League players that were here Thursday when he hadn’t been presenting any symptoms at that time. … What were the possible interactions?
“Did he stay for the game? He did not. He left early and went home and stayed at his home and ordered pizza. He did not have any interactions with our Major League players. And the [Hillsborough County] Department of Health has communicated to us that they had very little concern about that.”
The player who tested positive has never entered George M. Steinbrenner Field and there is no known link to any of the Major League players, according to director of media relations Jason Zillo.
Someone had to be the first.
Just going to have to ride out the storm. Fine job by our USA people in control.
Woman interviewed on news this morning tested positive for coronavirus, has no symptoms whatsoever and feels fine. Reason she was tested was her husband had high fever and was aching and he tested positive. All this shall pass.
The nation is going to go stir crazy with coronavirus issue.
As of latest info MLB season will not begin until at least late May.
2020 is going to be a year to remember or forget depending on your outlook.
I can work from home. Most everything is shut down. No large gatherings. No places to go to. Worst of all, no baseball. All will pass and things will get back to 'normal'.
Smile be happy. Stay home. You helped make America great again. Now help keep America great. Baseball will be back.
Things are really quiet here. Hope this coronavirus is beaten back quickly.
Remember things will get worse before they get better. Be safe.
The silence is deafening.
Another day closer to the end go this worldwide nightmare. Slowly but surely.
Trump has been doing a fantastic job on the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
Positive thinking, when and if the season starts we likely will have Judge, Stanton, and Paxton all alive and well.
Living in New York City all my life I am now cursed with Deblasio and Cuomo.
sid greenberg,nyc....the way nyc is going you better stay away from people. Stay home if you can.
Good news on Judge...
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge revealed he had a collapsed lung that has healed and said his broken rib is improving. Judge had a CT scan on Friday. The Yankees announced two weeks ago that Judge had a stress fracture to his first right rib. "The bone is still about the same, slight improvement," Judge said as he left Steinbrenner Field. "The bone is healing the way it should be, so probably another test here in a couple more weeks and go from there." Judge added the scan showed a "pneumothorax came back completely gone."
"A little thing on the lung that we were having a little issue with, but that was all healed up." Judge said. "Good to go. Which means I can fly if I needed to go home."
The 27-year-old didn't play in any spring training games because of soreness in his right pectoral muscle and shoulder. With Opening Day pushed back into mid-May at the earliest due to the new coronavirus, Judge has more time to recover without missing games.
"That's the silver lining in all of this, just having the ability to not feel rushed trying to get back for a certain date, especially since we really don't have a date," Judge said. "Just trying to let it heal, don't try to rush it." Judge plans to continue working out and getting treatment at the Yankees' spring training complex.
Looking good for Judge. Hope the season starts relatively soon and things get back to normal.
Lets go Yankees.
It looks like Trump's quick halt to flights from China in January has saved countless American lives. Brilliant decision from the Donald.
The longer the coronavirus continues to ravage America the shorter the baseball season will be if there is even a season ahead for 2020.
This virus pandemic is brutal and is putting countless millions of peoples lives all over the world into upheaval. You can't stop mother nature and the evolvement of the planet. It is a shame to see some people try and make their trying political.
Fans, only listen to the coronavirus task force press conferences along side the Trump administration. All else will be rumors and corrupt.
Likely that the earliest start of baseball is now at best May 15th.
The olympics for July have been canceled until next year by Japan. I'm still hoping for baseball in some form, but it won't be the same as a full season.
Trump is trying to save America while the democrats, liberals, progressives, communists, radical left wing is fundamentally trying to change America by turning it into a cesspool and destroying it. VOTE TRUMP 2020!!!
Jackson DeWitt-Iowa......Hear hear!!!!
WOW, New York is getting hit very hard by the coronavirus. We have many posters who live in that area. Hope all of you stay well.
When and if baseball will be back will depend on the foul Chinese coronavirus severity and longevity.
In he words of the late Martin Luther King Jr., WE SHALL OVERCOME.
A possibility????? If I am not mistaken there are seven roofed MLB stadiums. If you played two games a day in each stadium that would allow for 14 games each day. In one week MLB could play 98 games. No rainouts ever. There are 30 MLB teams so each day two teams could have a day off allowing for an off day every two weeks for every team. That means every team could play 13 games every two weeks equalling. In ten weeks each team would play 65 games. I bet MLB using the little brains they have could come up with a viable albeit shortened baseball season even if they didn't start until July 1st. If they played thru the first week in October that would mean 14 weeks and 91 games. Round the numbers out and with each league playing a fair and equitable schedule and you could have a season and then even the playoffs. Heck, with closed stadiums you could even play the entire season and the playoffs right into winter.
Brilliant idea WIN METHOD. One game at 1PM and another at 7PM in each time zone and every game televised nationally would be fantastic for the fans, baseball, and the country in general.
