    I only saw a bit of the SF/LA game, they had the cardboard cutouts of people in the lower seats and mentioned you could pay to have one of yourself.  I’m sure many teams are doing this - I’m hoping to see Marlins Man in many stadiums, I love that guy showing up everywhere.

    George F. Will knows his stuff when it comes to baseball, as evidenced by his informed and eloquent writings on the subject.  This is a baseball thread, so no need for commentary about his writings on other subjects.
    He has a "2020 Opening Day Quiz" for those interested.  I got 16/38 with several lucky guesses.

    @dbCooper- Thanks for that link.  Good fun I managed 21/38 but with a few guesses as well.

    My Rays are opening tonight vs Toronto. They had a inter squad scrimmage on our regional fox sports network the other night. No fans. Looked like a typical weeknight game for them.

    Glad it’s back!

    I’m not down for any game where the millionaire players and owners disrespect our flag and country by kneeling during the national anthem. This now includes baseball unfortunately. Go ahead and flag me, I’m not wasting my time arguing back . 🖖🏽

    As I understand it, they kneeled *before* the anthem played last night during the Nationals-Yankees game.  Have players at other games been kneeling *during* the anthem?

    In any case, you may want to ask yourself why you’re so upset at even the thought of the flag being disrespected.

    if that is true than I stand corrected on baseball.  I didn’t watch the game, saw the pics . 

    Why would I be upset about the flag being disrespected ? Really ? Idk, maybe the thousands of US soldiers who have died for that flag and this country.  This country is not “systemically racist” to use the Dems new favorite phrase . If u want to hate cops fine, but the flag and this great country that made those athletes millionaires for playing a stupid game has nothing to do with it.  

    Dude do u live on this forum? You’re always the first to respond to crap and I see u more than anyone .  Haha get a life.

    Since when did kneeling become a sign of disrespect, well, for anything?

    Ohh...and the correct term is "systemically" not "systematically".

    Was that a strike or a foul? I assume Fauci got a balk for that and was awarded a free base.

    The Rays were disappointing yesterday.  The joy was finally watching a game w my 16 year old daughter and 18 year old son.

    I guess baseball isn’t quite as socially distanced as we’d hoped.  That’s a gut punch.

    As this season continues there will be more hic-cups and audibles called.  I have no idea the tipping point to shutting it all down but hopefully MLB has thought this thru.  That said, with the the way baseball hosed up the approach to this whole thing I'm not confident in the way ahead.  One game at a time.

    Nationally available on ESPN- Dodgers at Astros, 7:10 PM (EDT).  A little chin music last night-what's gonna happen tonight?
    Nothing at the head but da-n, the Astros organization needs to feel the rage given their past practices.
