Question.....what's the end game with COVID? They're talking about not knowing whether there will be fans next year. Seriously? I mean, WTF, are we just going to cede our way of life to this insanity? It's absurd, and the whole damn thing has been way out of hand for a long time. The left has fantasized about this kind of control forever, and they're not gonna give it up without a fight. If I were the owners, I'd have fans come hell or high water next season. This has to end, and we have to stop obsessing over a few positive tests. It's ridiculous. IMO You going to let this off season tread turn into your political rant page again like last off season. Why don't you take this crap where it belongs and stick to baseball on the baseball threads. Thanks.

Why don't you take this crap where it belongs and stick to baseball on the baseball threads. Thanks. I allowed a tread to become a political rant tread because there was no baseball going on. That was on me, 100%. When baseball actually announced they would have a season, we shut that down. I will continue to moderate the site as I deem appropriate. I do my best, so give me just a few minutes to do it. As far as what was said: Let's try and keep the talk related to how COVID might affect the season. It sort of crosses the line a bit when we start talking about "the left" fantasizing about control. That really is "the line" I will observe. Everything else about how it will affect the season and if you don't think it's necessary is okay. Just don't bring the parties or the left/right dogma into it. That needs to go into the political forum. Thanks - The management.

Fair and square As for the idea of fans not being in the stands next yr and the business part of the game at this point we really do not know I hope the owners of sports teams run their business the way they choose to. (Edited by Moderator) Disappointment or not, I do want my baseball and NFL and SEC football. Frustrating as it is, this Braves team will be useful to watch again. But I am tired of cap tipping and azz kissing the opponents. Someone told me today they will root for the LAD cause they represent our so called NL. To me that is BS, like rooting for Alabama in National Championship games - total BS to me why kiss the bully's azz Go Tampa and anyone vs Alabama

Hell no - would never really root for another team but can watch without emotion which is getting less and less If they do not extend Freeman, and let him walk, can you really hang in there with this team as you know it - tell me that would not be a challenge

Keep up the good work. -not the management I know this will be crazy sounding but I would not put Acuna as a complete untouchable His occasional lack of hustle and attention to detail is annoying and he did have an inconsistent year this yr and we know about his LCS performance His style is irritating - he makes too many mistakes. I know he is not going anywhere but man, I like the throw back style of less hot dogging in the game and there is too much hot dogging with this younger generation of players - goes on in the NFL too I hate it more its worse in the NFL

I don’t see how we sign Ozuna, extend Freddie and lock up some good SS in the next year or two for pretty high money. And if we sign Ozuna we better pray the DH is in the NL starting in 2021.

I will agree it’s sometimes hard to watch and scary to think of him as the lynchpin when Freeman and his consistency are gone. His value is far and away the highest in the league due to his contract. Baseballtradevalues.com has his value 80 points higher than Soto and over 100 over Tatís Jr. (Bichette is worth 104 and Roberts worth 110). Essentially few teams have enough value to trade without sending their most valuable MLB assets back in return thus negating the purpose of the trade in the first place. The Blue Jays would have to give up Vlad Jr, Bichette, and Martin or Biggio plus some minor league talent. Would take one ballsy GM to make that happen.

Yeah let’s keep the politics to a non existent. It’s why I disappeared for months from here. That being said, I’m just glad Nick is done here.

I thank Nick for his contributions during the rebuild, but I certainly hope he is done here.
I have this recurring nightmare where we keep re-signing him for his veteran presents as long as Snit is still manager.
