Oh look, another pitcher (Archie Bradley) was hit by a ball going at insane speeds.

Clearly the solution is to not have them pitch, but replace them with machines.

Yes. Because David Ortiz is a machine.

Nah. He's entirely organic outside of a few synthetic hormones.

Too bad Gary Thorne & Jim Palmer couldn't make themselves STFU for 20 seconds.

They have literally not stopping yakking since the telecast began. I know because I'm cognitively waiting for some silence to enjoy... & now I've given up.

Unreal.

They are probably told to talk so that there wouldn't be any dead air.

This whole thing seems strange. There seems to be quite a few fans outside of the park. Considering the odd circumstances, why not let them in?

How to achieve silence: Mute button :P

Yeah, MLB should've just let everyone in for free. For communal well being.

Then again, rioting over who gets in would be not good.

How are they just allowed to stand there and watch? If they prevent people from entering for "public safety issues" then why let them loiter by the gates, looking like prisoners?

"And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday."

Bradley got hit by a line drive while he was pitching.

Whoever gets there early for the next home game is going to have a clearance sale on stray foul balls, though.

I wish that they weren't still doing the full run-through on game ops. I mean I guess they have to? I know the players have to be formally announced.

Yeah, I would kinda like 'em to go full deadball era. Just bring guys up with no fanfare.

That's the thing that's messing with me the most. Didn't they shut the gates because they want people to avoid that area right now? Might as well let them in.

God, everyone got their digs in on the Rays and Indians before I could make the painfully obvious "usually it's their home games where people are discouraged from attending" joke.

It's best your missed the chance. People seem to look side-eyed at Cubs fans making jokes/boasting about attendance. It's like the lispy kid with huge glasses and hearing aids making fun of a dork for getting beaten up in junior high. It doesn't give you street cred.

I've ripped the Cubs way more than the Sox in the last three years. Allow me a trip back to the old homestead, will ya.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

It was your second jab of the week so I had to step in. I've enjoyed your Cub-related pessimism, though. It's a nice change of pace, especially in light of the media's pre-jaculation and the people pulling their "It's Gonna Happen!" signs out of the closet after a few prospects got called up.
