2019-2020 Offseason Discussion

[rmc523]

we shall see and we are obviously all just guessing, but i just think that unless the NBA really wants to get their season to start around christmas from now on, their current season is done, which fucking sucks because this heat season, although clearly destined for an ECSF or ECF exit, was super promising for the future. Even if they want to do that going forward, i just cant imagine them just restarting their season 6 months later. if the rest of the season is going to finish in august and september what is even the point of finishing it. It just sucks but i just see no way in which they start the same season that suspended in march back in august and september. At a certain point it will get too far gone to be worth it.


My biggest thing is that this MLB season has some sort of MLB AND MILB season. it would be pretty fucking awful in such a critical developmental year to lose an entire year of minor league experience. that would be a nightmare even if the entire league would go through the same thing. On the other side, that mookie trade would turn around pretty damn quickly.

i hope so because i miss sports so god damn much. I just cant see them returning before a time in which it would make sense to re-start this/last season rather than just saying its the offseason and regrouping as a league and starting the "offseason".


On an unrelated note, I have mixed feelings about samson but his new podcast is decent. Any of you guys listen to it? It's kind of annoying that he tries to act like this authority at times but at other times he also is honest about his complete shit show of a tenure as a front office member here and the thinking of a front office member is put into perspective a lot. He is so clearly a pro ownership member of the media but it does give a very interesting brutally honest perspective that you dont generally get normally

i am absolute sports degenerate so i hate any of these sports seasons being shortened. this is just such a shitty situation when examined in any aspect. literally every single professional sports league appears like it will be impacted by this. Even if the NFL regular season wont be impacted, it seems like the draft will definitely be different with teams not able to examine prospects in person/in depth more because of this. IDK about your guys' fandoms but as long as the dolphins get Tua im cool with the football season doing whatever. Ive seen enough mediocre dolphins football in my life to care at this point but they are similar to my marlins fan experience- im numb but would be beyond exhilarated to see them in an actual meaningful playoff situation.

Obviously I hate that it happened to any season (and in general of course, I got laid off today because of this stupid virus), but it makes it worse that it happened during the one sport I truly follow baseball/Marlins and not during the others I'm more a casual fan of. I'm a fan of all the local teams, so I'm with you on the Dolphins making playoffs.

Sorry to hear that man, that fucking sucks.

[Namaste]

Yeah, rmc. That’s brutal, man.


tj, we need an update from your janitor friend on a start date for MLB. Something is up and I think an announcement is coming soon.

[rmc523]

Thanks for the support guys. I get to deal with all that crap now.

The models that they showed at today’s Coronavirus Task Force briefing bode very well for July MLB

The models that have 100,000+ people dying?

The models that have no new cases as of July 1st, funny guy.

Told u they wanna start in June but its all up to Trump. They can't do much until he says no more social distance. Just extended 30 days-MLB,NBA,NHL all wanna start playing but pretty much can't

Hard to play when they say 6 feet and no groups of 10 or more

I think you are severely underestimating how long this is gonna take. There is 0 chance of no new cases by July 1

[Namaste]

There is 0 chance of no new cases by July 1

Based on your hunch or science?

I’m referencing a model that a doctor on a White House task force showed to millions of people yesterday

Sorry man.

Fangraphs posted their in progress system rankings. (They have 10 more teams systems to fully rank)

https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/...eam=&sort=-1,1

Right now we sit at 3rd. We will certainly be passed by the Dodgers and Padres. Maybe by the White Sox, that'll probably be close. So I think we should end up with either the 5th or 6th best system according to FanGraphs.

Time to start chatting up 2021. Villar, Cervelli, Aguilar and Joyce are gone to free agency (I think they were all one year deals), leaving Dickerson for one more season. The team also has an option on Kintzler for 2021.

Here's a list of free agents: https://www.mlb.com/news/baseball-s-...-agent-classes

I think we’ll be playing games in July 2020 no fans
