Yes, and this also weeds out Aubrey's minions and fellow bigots for threatening to boycott the reunion and the Giants (even though most of them aren't even Giants fans anyway), who are still whining about how Aubrey's a victim because he supports President Cheeto. There's plenty of conservative baseball players who play or have played for SF. None of them talked about kidnapping Iranian women or teaching their sons to shoot supporters of other candidates or made sexist remarks about the new female coach, etc. Good riddance from this Persian bitch. 🤷🏻♀️ 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/241/#findComment-5947145

JTMacc99 February 20, 2020 Share February 20, 2020 18 minutes ago, icemiser69 said: If a batter sees a pitcher tipping his pitches and can gain and advantage from it, that isn't cheating, is it? That batter can't unsee that. I don't think that is cheating. The batter isn't about to run out to the pitcher and tell him he is tipping his pitches. If that batter tells his teammates about the pitcher tipping his pitches, is that cheating? I think an argument could be made that it is. None of that is against the written rules, so it is not cheating. A player standing on second base, looking in at the catcher's signs, figuring out what the signs are, and somehow signalling to the batter what pitch he thinks was just called, is not against the written rules and not cheating. He may get a fastball in the ribs the next time he bats, but he was not cheating. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/241/#findComment-5951935

Mittengirl March 16, 2020 Share March 16, 2020 With the CDC recommending no large gatherings for the next two months, it would seem we will be lucky to see baseball by the first of June. (Assuming 2 weeks of “spring training”.) If they can get 25 games a month June - September that would get us a 100 games season. 2 doubleheaders a month and playing into the first week in October could get an extra 15ish. Obviously they couldn’t have an All-Star break. Maybe shorten each playoff round (best of 3 instead of 5) and they could possibly finish before November 1. At what point would the season be too short to be a “real” season? I can’t imagine a whole summer without baseball.
