Mr. Trout:

You are the best thing to ever happen to this organization and us fans. If you want to punt on this “season” for the health and safety of your wife and unborn child, after prioritizing the organization for the last 11 years, we are in no position to take exception to that. We look forward to seeing you in 2021. 

I don't like how you've managed to overlook Maicer Izturis like this, but you have, and I'm disappointed.

So it's ok for Mike Trout to make that decision for his family. What about the rest of the players?

Yes

Still comes off as pretty tone deaf but that's par for the course with Maddon. There's a myriad of reasons for why a player may choose to opt out, and we've already seen it play out across MLB with a handful of guys. Simply saying that those who opt out are the ones who can't follow rules is nonsense

I don’t see him saying that.  I see him saying it’s not that difficult to follow the protocols.  That’s exclusive of those who opt out.

The whole damn league has been cheating for 5 years and now the players are expected to trust each other to follow rules. Laughable.

Give that baby a baseball. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole's wife, Amy, gave birth to their first son Monday at 7:47 a.m..

 

"There is only going to be one coronavirus World Series champion," Geritt Cole said. "That's unique in itself. I don't see why you wouldn't want to take that trophy home."

Damn

 

all of you who are reading this as joe maddon covertly calling guys pussies or whatever are so far off. it's like you have no concept of who the man is.

he's quite literally saying, if you don't feel the protocols can make you and your family feel safe, then you should not play.

also, you can bet your ass he's talking about trout and any other player who may feel that way.

joe maddon is a trickster on the field. he's as straight a shooter as you'll find off of it. he wears his heart on his sleeve. big ol' dumb hippy.

As great as a baseball player Trout is, he’s a better human being. What is not to like about him?

Bad Mods!

After going back and reading the last few pages, I have come to the conclusion that RBM has no idea who the AW Mods are.

Nate?

Bottom line, let’s stay on topic. I don’t check in here to discuss politics

As far as I know, he's only a mod in the Meat Locker.

The topic is Trout and the covid.

Ok, add something to the discussion that hasn't already been said.

Why is he wearing his mask that way?

[Stradling]

Why is he playing rock, paper, scissors

Ask the Mariner fans, they seem to not appreciate him at all...

Have you ever worn a N95 mask? Very uncomfortable. I don't see players wearing one for more than a few games. they will opt to something more tolerable.
