marlins out because they went to the hotel bar ? minimum mlb salary is 555,000. so these idiots cant self contain for over $200,000 a month for 2 and a half months ? idiots.

Marlins-clubs, Cards-casinos. Guess that makes sense. Dennis Rodman would have never survived these times.

**half-fast** · 08-01-2020, 11:27 AM

They’re making prorated salaries. Something like 37%

ok, that's still 203k and about 80k per month for 2.5 months for those making the minimum, they won't can stay in a paid hotel room for 3 months for that, idiots.

what are the minor leaguers supposed to do? Teams are still calling up players everyday. The leagues approach seemed to be “no worry’s”

Im bummed baseball didn’t go for a wall of games every day, start at noon east coast, run a game every 3 hrs

This kid Hall is pitching pretty good for a newb.

**SkiBall** · 08-02-2020, 08:19 PM

JFC. If Rox or A’s don’t do something special, baseball is dead to me this year.

**irul&ublo** · 08-03-2020, 09:26 AM

Not that it will ultimately make a difference, as MLB is gonna shut down, but...

SWEEP!

**BmillsSkier** · 08-06-2020, 10:27 PM

Here to post that the league’s best starting rotation finally got some runs. Nice 10 run 7th (and 3 w’s in a row), think we can spread that out a bit?

Also, Shane Beiber is your 2020 Cy Young leader. Probably.

ROLL TRIBE.

That's awesome.

So, what's the deal with these cardboard cutouts? Are they fan submitted?

It belongs in the Things that annoy me thread. Looks stupid.

Lighten up Ben.

Weekend at Bernie at Royals Stadium, Chipper Jones and his kid in the front row of Citi Field, Ricky Vaughn at the Jake, Steve Bartman at Wrigley, the Astros Mascot and a Trash Can in Oakland...

This is funny stuff in unfunny times.

**Benny Profane** · 08-08-2020, 01:19 AM

So's calling this a baseball season.

**BmillsSkier** · 08-09-2020, 06:25 PM

I notice Hall of Famer (went in wearing the Cleveland C) Jim “Thome Run” has a cutout right behind home plate in Comiskey tonight. He also sits behind the plate at Jacobs Field.

I wonder how many other multi-park cutouts are out there.

Nice squeeze by the tribe to take the lead in the 10th just now.

**ötzi** · 08-09-2020, 08:29 PM

Oh man, now it's raining! What's gonna happen to the cardboard people??

I hate the rule but I’m sure moments like this will grow on me.

Turns out they’re surprisingly resilient.

Maybe in Cleveland, but in LA they had all melted by the 7th.

Cardboard ponchos and umbrellas?

I’ve always questioned the hardiness of that fan base. That is, except for the whole stabbing Giants fans bit.

**Benny Profane** · 08-10-2020, 08:44 AM

Ha. In LA they should just start taking them down in the seventh inning.

**BmillsSkier** · 08-10-2020, 08:46 AM

Tribe sends a message by sending SP Zac Plesac home from Chicago in a rental car for violating protocol by going to the bars with friends after his win.

Followed up today with news he may be DFA’d. Damn.
