I feel like Hawk should unretire because we may be hearing a lot of "He Gone".








Play Ball!

Just as a reminder to myself I've got under 60 games played with Merry Christmas, and every other bet was canceled in March or later. Let me know if something is still rolling in your opinion.

I'll certainly be open to some dumb series bets this season.

Ah, can't even get from 11:30am to 4pm first pitch without Juan Soto testing positive...

Is there a list of players that are voluntarily sitting out, and forced to sit out right now?

Don't have the 'forced' to sit out because those are flexible. Already had Freeman test positive and come back prior to opening day.

Big names currently out include Soto for COVID and Rendon for not COVID. Yordan Alvarez also has been away from the Astros for an undisclosed reason.

Here is the sitting out list from July 15th, not sure if I recall hearing anyone since then:
https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/...y11vn0ojmi8srw

Mike Leake, RHP, Diamondbacks

Ryan Zimmerman, 1B, Nationals

Joe Ross, RHP, Nationals

Ian Desmond, OF, Rockies

David Price, LHP, Dodgers

Tyson Ross, RHP, Giants

Felix Hernandez, RHP, Braves

Nick Markakis, OF, Braves

Buster Posey, C, Giants

Michael Kopech, RHP, White Sox

Jordan Hicks, RHP, Cardinals

In for the BALL

Any of you Yankee crybabies want to go $20 straight up for today's game? I get the Nats. I think it will be a good game with the pitching and will be watching.imo.

lol OP. He Goat

I'll do it for a sweat if none of the yankee fans step up.

Yanks are -157 so someone should, but if they don't. I'd rather talk trash about how many Ks scherzer racks up to a yankee fan.

That's why I jumped in .

Maybe the whole Nationals team will be ruled out and they will have to forfeit after being exposed to Soto.

I wonder how Beltre would handle Elvis touching his head during this pandemic.

They're really doing this 16-team playoff, huh? Between that and the short season, this is going to be pure variance. Even perennial losers like the O's, Pirates, and Dodgers might luckbox a championship.

**** forgot he was out, even after you just posted about it. Not booked yet, but will if none of those cheating whiner fans get in.

lol @ changing the playoffs hours before the season starts.

Doing that in a fantasy league would likely cause an uproar that ends the league for good.

At least this change gives the Dodgers less of a chance of winning.

Same. How ever much you want to bet Domey

Well one of the teams doesn't have a home ballpark less than 24 hours before their 1st game. Kind of just winging it and pretending that there will actually be playoffs.

Pope you're booked for $20. I get nats you get yankees even money. Sorry Hurt, but there will be many more chances for you to get easy money off of me.

Horray baseball, go Dbacks, etc

Baseball , except the politics and disease outbreak is like playing on a soaked field.

Thanks txdome. I'll actually have the game on now.

make 60-90 games permanent ty gl

lol ESPN.

I swear yesterday their header for the season starting had Soto, Cole, Betts, and Acuna and now I look and it has Scherzer, Cole, Betts, and Acuna.


EDIT.

Yep, I was right:


Now:

ec, I may pull up that season win total bet post again tonight, because I am remembering how I don't give a **** about games that aren't Astros, no-hitter sweats, or playoffs. Some action makes things more interesting. Some odds probably changed, but I haven't followed the moves closely enough to know which direction. We'll get a dbacks one in for sure if you want. I don't want to bet the under against the Astros(old pitchers), but that is where I would put my money. I'd rather do some series bets for them.

Jesus **** christ this will somehow be worse than the NBA playoffs. I hope the players got a good deal.
