I agree that the year should be scrubbed. The protests without proper social distancing virtually assured the COVID-19 virus cases will increase over the summer months. I'm already beginning to worry about college basketball season and Christmas gatherings.

Thanks for posting this. I have one of his baseball cards in my closet and see it every day. Coincidentally, my father, who was in the Battle of the Bulge, carried the same name.

Koji, Radatz, Paps, Kimbrel, and and Lowe. In order. But if Lowe gets to count, I would like to mention a reliever/starter who has not been mentioned yet. That would be Ivan "Ike" Delock.

A truncated season beginning in late May or June is the best case scenario, I would guess. Meanwhile, have some good books ready to read. I might suggest this one: …...………………...………………………...

Thanks, it was interesting to read page 23 instead of starting with 24. My bad, but I will blame it on living in the central time zone.

I will be interested to read what posters think about the Kevin Pillar rumor. He would seem to be a good fit for next year if healthy.

Just adding my thanks for all you did for the team and best wishes for your future.

And lest we forget it, in addition to this estimable site, "getting a horn" , coined by Baltimore's Mike Flanagan, is striking out six times in one game. Sam's name will, indeed, live forever in baseball history.

James and Dombrowski out with their missions accomplished. In baseball, as in life, there will be peaks and valleys and all one must do is move ahead with vigor and optimism. I , for one, have a good feeling about this hire. Take the baton and run, Chaim.

Happy schadenfreude day everyone. The game last night was the most enjoyable non-Red Sox game I can remember. Reading this thread today has been a pleasure.

Strange wake up call. Who's next? Billy Beane? Brad Pitt? Think I may go back to bed.

Add Craig Breslow to RP list because of his high IQAR rating
