    Both have passed protocol and can rejoin the Braves.

    Freddie can roll outa bed and be readier than most, but 60 games in 66 days is gonna be grueling. Snit's gonna have to be creative to find him rest time and Freddie needs to sit out as much as possible the first few weeks.

    Actually allowing him to DH a few times would benefit

    I'm in the opposite camp. With the season like 9 weeks long players need to be balls to the wall from day 1.

    Why would you say something like that when you know how easy a player can tweak a muscle and miss half the season?

    Injuries and testing positive for the virus will likely be the major factor in this shortened season, assuming they can get it in. The team surely needs to be laser focused from day 1 but players need to be smart and pay attention to their bodies. I predict a lot of injuries at first and players trying to play anyway.

    He's probably still pretty broken up about the Jada Pinkett Smith thing.

    Freddie gave an account of his symptoms while he was sick. One night he had a fever or 104.5 and he said he said a prayer not to die. Also had body aches, chills, and lost his sense of taste and smell while he was sick. He said he feels fine now and only lost 1 pound while sick.

    Far more worried about his stamina and pop - he rolls out of bed hitting.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I think it's a safe assumption to say that hundreds of MLB players have been infected with Covid virus at some point. Have there been any hospitalizations yet?

    Athletic men in the prime of their lives? Probably not.

    It’s almost like there are others around they are also worried about. You know like their parents, coaches, umpires, people with underlying conditions, or premature babies they may live with.

    Some adults, even baseball players, are able to think of people other than themselves and how their actions affect those other people.

    Some people cry because they feel oppressed by wearing a mask.
