I don't know why they are punished because the Nats are dumb.

Getting COVID is not dumb. It can happen to those who are taking every precaution possible. My wife diligently followed every state, county, local, and work law, rule, procedure, and guideline and she still got it. And is still suffering the effects 5 months later. And she's not alone. Calling someone dumb simply for getting COVID or being exposed to someone who has COVID is small-minded.

Watching the Indians-Tigers game right now. Andres Gimenez (

) is the starting shortstop, batting ninth. Amed Rosario is on the bench.

They have multiple positives, so it has nothing to do with your wife or her suffering (for which I'm sorry). And the Nats are dumb for reasons beyond ill players.

Lucky you, MLB.tv was crashed here for a few hours.

I didn't say it had anything to do with my wife. I just used her as an example. Your post specifically called the Nats dumb because of their issues with COVID. You may not like them for other reasons, but those reasons are not what you mentioned in that post.

When I choose to. Not when someone tells me to.

Sorry to hear about your wife, hope she fully recovers soon.

swoboda · 04-01-2021, 05:38 PM

On the down side Mets / Nats cancelled

On the up side Mets remain undefeated !

I was really looking forward to that pitching matchup too.

It's entirely Metsy to announce the Lindor contract and within 24 hours have Opening Day cancelled! At least nowadays they're not unforced errors courtesy of Fred and Jeff and whatever they imposed in the organization.

All Mets games through Sunday are axed now. But if you want some warm Mets thoughts of c.2013, the Orioles somehow made Matt Harvey their #2 starter and he's pencilled in for tomorrow at 1pm

I hope all the guys in the bullpen put their spikes on at first pitch!

Meanwhile I've descended to watching the Red Nex and O's live. BAL seems unterrible compared to recent years and their starter looks good.

Six teams in four years.

2018 Mets
2018 Reds
2019 Angels
2019 Athletics (minors)
2020 Royals
2021 Orioles

And he was terrible in 2019 and 2020.

He's been degrees of terrible since 2016.

Harvey was the first hot rookie thing the Mets promoted when I started watching and it was an absolute riot for a year. And then Tommy John. And Thoracic Outlet crap. And less attitude maybe would have helped at one point or another.

Will_L · 04-04-2021, 10:39 AM

April 4th and the Mets are still undefeated! ;-)

Westheim · 04-04-2021, 12:03 PM

Huzzah!

I think I will scout the Phillies today, the Mets' first opponent of the season.

Westheim · 04-04-2021, 06:51 PM

And with Sunday mostly in the books, the Mets are still undefeated!

BBGiovanni · 04-04-2021, 08:30 PM

And now the Gnats have started goofing up their next opponent...

dsvitak · 04-05-2021, 09:38 AM

The Cardinals played the most brutal stretch of baseball last year, in modern history, and they still made the playoffs.

Suck it up, buttercups!
