Pitching rotation looking really really good if everyone hits their stride

Pitchers Miguel Yajure, Ronny Contreras, IF, Maikol Escotto and OF Canaan Smiith are going back to Pitt
None of the prospects ranked in the Yankees top 10 but all of them except Escotto should see the majors within the next 2 seasons

Yea, that's why I said if everyone hits their stride Shit can go full left if Kluber is a full bum and Tallion is AJ Burnett 2.0 I think Kluber may be done as a quality starter and more of a 3/4, especially in that bandbox. Taillon may still have his stuff, but it's been a while since anyone saw what he's bringing.

Taillon may still have his stuff, but it's been a while since anyone saw what he's bringing. Kluber at best can be 75% of what he was which should still equal a pretty good 3-4 starter as said. He ideally should fit behind Cole and Sevy. Tallion would slide behind Kluber or even Montgomery who right now is the only lefty in the rotation Then you still got Devi Garcia, Clarke Schimdt and the fool who should been cut already (German). At the very least they got depth as you can't count on Tallion and Kluber staying healthy Wish they bring back Tanaka

Got all excited because I saw the MLBPA rejected the universal DH and expanded playoffs this year, but I'm sure the owners will offer them something else and they'll end up changing course and making me all angry and sad.

Universal DH is needed

There is literally no argument for that. It's fine to prefer the game with the DH, but making it universal does nothing for the game's overall health.

Neither does making the pitcher hit and risking further injury They did it last year. adapted and didn't miss a beat. Time to keep it in and move on with the game

Neither does making the pitcher hit and risking further injury They did it last year. adapted and didn't miss a beat. Time to keep it in and move on with the game Pitchers don't routinely get injured hitting/running the bases. If we're worried about pitcher injuries when they have to do anything that isn't pitching, then create a 10th spot on the diamond so the pitchers don't have to field, either. And it did miss a beat for fans who prefer baseball without a DH. Our preferred style of baseball wasn't being played; it was 60 games so it didn't suck too badly, but I'm kind of baffled why DH fans are so obsessed with forcing it on fans who don't like it, while 99% of NL fans never argue that the AL should get rid of it. If anything, I want the two leagues to be different and to have something fun to argue about (e.g. "MY league/style is better!" helps the rivalry for the All Star Game and World Series), not for baseball to keep getting more and more homogenized than it already has become in the past decade or so. That said, best compromise idea I've seen proposed: if you must have the universal DH, then make the rule that you get the DH...but only as long as your starting pitcher is in the game. Once the starter's out, DH is gone, and you have to change your strategy. It'd kill the concept of an "opener" like we've seen Tampa use recently, but that honestly wouldn't bother me at all, I'd find the tough choices a rule like that would present more entertaining.

Tonight at 6 PM Eastern, the Baseball Hall of Fame results for 2021 is announced. According to www.bbhoftracker.com/ , with 49% of the precincts reporting, 3 players (Schilling, Bonds & Clemens) are hovering just under the 75% sweet spot.

This is their year to get in cause otherwise no one else getting in this year Schilling should get in since he was at 70% percent last year and if Bonds/Clemens don't get in they better hope they reach 70% otherwise they might slide off next year in their last

Judging how the margin of error is, I expect no 2021 inductees.

That will probably affect Schilling's chances if it's the latter.
Also, Realmuto signs with the Phillies for big money. I can't wait to see how Philly will underperform this year.

No one gets into the HOF this year. On the bright side, they still have the 2020 ceremony to hold so if vaccine distribution goes well, we could have that this summer in Cooperstown.
