I enjoyed Judge’s non answer when the reporter asked if he was vaccinated. Just say no. If you don’t say yes, everyone knows the answer is no.

Or if you’re embarrassed by it…

I mean it will be obvious the first time he plays (or doesn’t play) in a city with a mandate.

[Derwood]

All that said, NYC needs to figure its mandate out, because it makes no sense that home players are barred from playing but visiting players aren't

This is an all time Bob tweet

Wouldn't be a problem if they'd all just get vaxxed. So meh.

Achieving a new level of owner cheapness, MASN, which broadcasts Baltimore and Washington games and is owned by the Angelos family, will not be paying to send their announcers and crew to go to away games. They will instead broadcast from their home parks. The Baltimore radio team will also be staying home during away games.

The Ricketts are probably calling to get the details at this minute.

Boog was extremely open about wanting to get back on the road the second it was possible to do so, so I'd like to think if he got even a whiff that this might happen with Marquee he'd get the hell out posthaste.

Don't the announcers just travel on the team charter? What added expense does it cost to put them on the road? Obviously lodging and per diem but that can't be that much. What am I missing?

You answered your own question - lodging and per diem. These guys didn't become billionaires by "throwing money around".

He's going to be a reliever (and very much relies on the fastball) at the next level. Scouts have been impressed and he's rising up draft boards. He would go in the 3rd-round currently, and I think maybe rises all the way to early 2nd-round area by draft time as long as he stays healthy.

 

Yes, college pitching sucks this year, but no one takes a pure reliever in the 1st round (for those wondering why he wouldn't go higher).

[Cubswin11]

That’s good, we certainly can use the extra two spots to churn through some guys and figure some things out if dudes are real or not from last year.

That’s good, we certainly can use the extra two spots to churn through some guys and figure some things out if dudes are real or not from last year. Also helps with sorting out the bullpen/pitching. And with no pitcher restrictions we probably should be looking at doing some opener/piggy back stuff with 1-2 rotation spots.

Reliever or no, I have to think he'll end up going surprisingly high.

 

Teams have placed increasingly more importance on their relief corps at the major league level. He's a college guy with massive stuff who might be able to help more or less immediately. And of course, it only takes one team to be that high on him... Or to dream on turning him into a starter.

Always hard to tell for sure but seems to be one of the league's genuine good dudes

I hated him so much circa 2016, but it was mostly because I was terrified of him.
