Is there gonna be any type of a baseball season this year?

TONGO 06-05-20 06:34 AM

Ugh! Doesn't look promising...

Well there was a baseball season last year, for 60 games. This season should be a full normal season, right? Right?


I'm looking forward to the Tampa Bay Ray's TAMING the A.L.bEast again this year :)

Good question re: season length. The NHL basically restructured everything, and shortened their season, for this upcoming year, but obviously baseball's starting a bit later. I will not be surprised if they play a shortened season, though I suspect it'll be twice as long (or more) than last year.

A lot will depend on how the vaccinations go, I expect.

I can see slightly longer season this time around, but not a full season. This all depends on how the next few months shake out of course, as you mentioned already regarding the vaccinations.

What do you think of the Pirates Bell trade? And do you think Musgrave is next?

Yoda 01-09-21 07:37 PM

Bell trade is necessary. Got back some decent talent, not sure if Bell's gonna be valuable going forward, unlikely to factor into a contending team.

Musgrove, more plausible he could stick around long enough to be useful, but I get it if they want to move him, too.

Wyldesyde19 01-09-21 08:16 PM

Yeah, I bring up Musgrove because there were trade rumors previously involving him iirc.

It's not exactly baseball, and it sure ain't the major leagues, but here's the highlight reel I put together for our softball team this year (it's a tradition that we mostly include bloopers and fails):

Wow, that gave me flashbacks to watching the NY Mets in the late 70s and early 80s. I hope you guys had a better season than they did. :lol:

TONGO 01-16-21 07:55 AM

Dude, truly fun and funny. The poor guy that fell down After the ball rolled by him was the best lol

So the mock drafts for fantasy baseball are open. Now a normal person would think the end of January is too soon, whats the point if I don't know my draft position, or why bother because you never get the same people when the real draft occurs - AH HA! Which is precisely why doing mocks for months ahead of time pays off! I'll know who I won't be getting. :yup: :cool:

TONGO 01-30-24 11:43 AM

Yeah.. when you get Clayton Kershaw in Round 20 during a mock draft, it kind of slams home that I'm wasting my time :(
