I’m a little concerned about Maeda controlling his pitch count. He’ll need to be able to get through the 5th consistently.

**Moderator Note** 

 

Covid squabbling is too heavy of a topic for the game threads. Please stick to baseball and/or the inane things normally discussed.

Agreed, thank you.

Potential dumb question alert: During these 7-inning doubleheaders, does the starting pitcher still need to go at least 5 innings to qualify for a win? Or are the requirements adjusted?

That's a great question, and I have no idea.  Maybe we'll find out today!

My understanding is that they do, but I'm not 100% positive on that. I think it's akin to a game called due to rain in the 7th.

Yes, a pitcher does have to go 5 innings to get a W.

 

They will also get credited with a "complete game" if they go all 7.

However, a 7-inning no-hitter or perfect game would not count in the record books. Quirky!

Yes, he is. He chose not to get vaccinated with the team, so I hope his symptoms remain mild.

I haven't heard about this. Do you have a source? Thanks. (This is upsetting, needless to say!)

He has evidence that Rocco is a White Sox sleeper agent

If so, Rocco has done a poor job. How’d he let the Twins finish a game above the Sox last year? :)

It's on the Twins website, too ... but here it is ... saying he tested positive and is experiencing mild symptoms.

And as Nick said, this isn't the place to get into a heavy Covid discussion. If you are referring to his choice not to vaccinate, that was on either his Twitter or IG account. (I forget which one I saw it on, but if you are curious, I could point you in that direction via PM)

I don't doubt that he has Covid-19, I'm more curious about the idea that the team has been vaccinated but he declined. That's the source I'm looking for. Thanks again.

I always wondered how individuals would handle working/playing for a team that they previously didn't like.

I don't think they care that much - it's a lot like going to work for a competitor in the business world. When I worked in media sales in Chicago almost 10 years ago, we had all sorts of competitors. We'd examine their sales pitches, critique their product, and maybe even trash them a little bit behind closed door meetings.

 

Then I quit my job and after a couple of months realized I needed a new one, pronto. When that old competitor called me up and asked me to come in for an interview, I was thrilled to get an opportunity. All bad blood was forgotten, they'd never personally wronged me in any way, and I quickly realized I didn't care who was signing my paychecks as long as I was getting one!
