Tuesday Morning Texas Rangers Update

Good morning.

A week after I wrote that this sport that we’re meant to enjoy had killed itself, the Frankenstein’s Monster corpse of baseball has been shocked back to something resembling life using malice, greed, and contempt as its parts.

Pending the next disaster, the league will now try to squeeze in a paltry 60 games during an ongoing pandemic and that’s all before the actual CBA apocalypse coming in 2021.

I don’t want to pooh-pooh this mandated schedule fully, despite the fact that how we got to an acrimonious 60 games has been completely unsavory, as employees, scouts, writers, and those who support themselves by working for or covering baseball now have a 60-game lifeline, COVID-19 willing.
