RIPPA Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Well the Mickey Callaway fiasco has mushroomed into a much bigger story. At the time the allegations came out and the Mets were firing Callaway, the Indians claimed they had no knowledge of claims against him. Well The Athletic dropped a story today saying that yes, the Indians most assuredly knew. That has in turn lead to what appears to be the (continued?) implosion of the Francona family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Since the MASN deal the only way to watch Nationals games is wait until it comes on ESPN or MLB. Seriously when did ESPN broadcasting become so awful. It is basically a talk show with a baseball game on the background. If it wasn't for the name on the jerseys you probably wouldn't even know who is pitching or hitting half the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hire Jose to hang out with you. A guy on the PSA baseball card forum did just that. Paid him to hang out with him, sign autographs, and wear jerseys, all of which ended up in custom cards the guy made. The cards were extremely cool but...

He had a good year in 2019 and was not good, or worse, in 2017 and 2018 and barely played in 2020. Does he have a chance to be helpful? Sure. But a "big" free agent? C'mon.

RIPPA Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 To be fair - while the Rangers COULD have 100% capacity they aren't GOING to have 100% capacity. It would be the same as say, Tampa, announcing they would have 100% capacity. And on the other end of the spectrum, the Nats, at the moment, are currently the only team in the league still not allowed to have any fans (the DC's mayor has said she will reconsider closer to the start of the season) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
