Start a guy on third base in the second inning.
Stratomatic in the hotel rooms.
Theyâll battle it out online in a game of Fortnite.
And Dads pitching.
They were talking about some team, perhaps the Marlins, who had four double headers in the next 10 days.
Remember how Manfred told all players they must stay in their hotels the remainder of the season?
The Indiansâ Zach Plesac didnât listen, and the club sent him home. Manfred should suspend him, but I doubt he has the balls to do so.
Marcus Stroman apparently is opting out now.
Astros batters have likewise opted out, retroactive to the start of the recent road trip.

I donât know the source of this quote, but I saw several people quoting this from a previous Clevinger quote, I guess:
âThis isnât going to be a ârun to daddyâ kind of thing. Weâre going to handle it in-house. This is a player discipline thing. Keep the coaches, front office kind of out of it,â pitcher Mike Clevinger said.

Props to Stroman for turning the tables on the owners and opting out as soon as he got his service time for free agency.

The turdinals have played 5 games this season.
Theyâre going to have to play something like 55 games in 38 days. Itâs nuts.
Or 5.
Shut it down, Manfred.
Manfredâs latest macho manifesto:
âI absolutely see a path back for the Cardinals,â Manfred said, according to [Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) âThat is dependent on getting enough days with no positives that weâre comfortable that we donât have any contagion risk. But 100% I see a path back.â
Absolutely. Well played.
Heyman reports that a Cardinals coach tested positive, and that tomorrow (Fridayâs) game will be postponed.
The Cardinals last played a game on July 29th. So far this season theyâve played five games and have had (including tomorrow) 19 postponed.
Theyâre going by W-L percentage this season, so maybe play fewer games and win those?
