2021 schedule was released today as well. We don’t go out west until 8/30 and do all of our west coast road trips in September. We also have a 2 day in a row break in August. According to The Athletic article, no one can really remember the last time a team had 2 consecutive days off (not...

Would be a nice thought, I just don’t want to see any of these kids have their clocks started this season, when it would be a waste to their future with the team. Why waste a year of their time with the Braves on a 60 game season? Ball will do great getting playing time with the minor leaguers...

Probably added to get reps at the minor league camp since Alonso will most likely be with the MLB camp until Freddie is back.

It seems like it was done based on travel time. Teams seem to have long stretches of away games followed by long stretches of home games. Another detriment to the Braves is we have to play 20 straight days without a day off, then get 3 within like a 10 day period. I don’t really think the...

But, keep Pache down all year, and then bring him up after the Super2 cutoff in 2021 and we gain another year of control. There’s no reason to burn his clock this year unless basically all of our OFs opt out or get hurt. I’d rather see Culberson and Ortega out there than wasting a year of Pache.

Another shoe drops on the Braves. Wouldn’t be surprised to see some more follow him. Duvall seems like a no brainer to opt out with Type 1 Diabetes. We may actually have to burn a season of control with Pache if more opt out, which would be awful.

It could get horribly worse. Not that anyone wants it to, or really expects it to, but this has still only affected a small portion of the population, one little mutation and it could get much, much worse. Plus, even states like NY are not out of it. Saw images online of a massive party on...

Not to mention when some players get the virus as the season goes on. How will it be fair to teams when a superstar gets the virus? Especially with such a short season. If someone shows symptoms, they have to be symptom free for 72 hours before they can get retested, then ave to wait another 24...

Exactly. He made his millions, was playing for the league minimum this year, and was going to make what...maybe 10 starts this season? Not exactly a great set of circumstances for his rebirth. Sit out the year and decide whether to come back next year or just hang it up.

Exactly. And I think we’ll see a bunch of players like King Felix opting out now as well. Why would he risk it, playing for the league minimum, when he’s already made his millions. I’m thinking any older players that can, will sit out. Plus, we’ll start seeing some of the younger players start...

Do we really even need 5 starters? Roll with 4 and throw in a reliever if needed for the 5th spot. Unfortunately, I have a feeling this won’t be the only sit out we have. Especially with the Freddie news, players are really going to start thinking hard about whether they will play or not.

David Price opting out of the season for the Dodgers

DeMarlo Hale will be 1B coach this season. Was a special assistant.

I know to be reinstated they have to test negative twice in a 24 hour period. But I’m going to assume with someone like Freeman, they won’t bother testing him again until his symptoms go away.

Yeah, that would be Eric Young Sr that’s opting out of the season.

Reggie Sanders 2.0

At this point only a matter of time. Atlanta Bloopers? Atlanta Freeze? At least they wouldn’t have to change mascots...going to be awful no matter what it’s changed to.

Interesting article by Stark on Athletic today about what happens when the first team has an outbreak (and what even constitutes an outbreak). Seems that team will miss games and games will be counted as rain outs, but with only 66 days to fit in 60 games, if the outbreak lasts longer than say a...

Mike Trout is apparently still deciding whether to play this season or not. He’s shown up for camp, but still not 100% sure he will stay. That would be a major blow to the season and I could see the floodgates open should he choose to sit out.
