It's still a wait and see from what I'm hearing. If he does have the surgery he's done for next year too. If that happens I see him retiring. Next year is the last season of his contract, and then he'll be 39. I wouldn't pay him more than $1 million after that, unless it was incentive laden for production. That could have been the last time we see him pitch. i had a thought today, but I doubt it would go over especially with the Florida Marlins fiasco in Philly. I wish they would raffle off tickets for the games, and have at least one person if not three per every two rows to watch the games in person. I know I'd buy a couple of tickets just to go see a game. Seeing all of those seats empty seems like a waste. I know as a player, it wouldn't bother me a bit not to have fans in the seats. Think of all the pick up games you played when it was hard to find enough people just to field even a limited baseball team for sandlot baseball or whiffle ball games. With the games in full action, I would love to watch it even from the nosebleeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually doubled down last night. I really hope he is wrong, but when McCullers went down the Astros said it was a forearm strain as well... I think they are going to be moving baseball games to bubble sites before long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher805 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Good win. Dodgers roll into town for a pair of games... Bad news...Pressley and Devinski both day-to-day with elbow soreness... Going to see a lot of elbow injuries this year. A lot of pitchers ramped up quickly for the restart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about Pressley but he was lights out for the most part last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitching hasn't been bad, just some bad breaks. One of those nights where the shift is NOT helping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
