The world is burning and we intend to “stick to sports” the way we always do, in the context of social justice. Andrew McCutcheon (“I don’t want pity. I want justice.”), Dexter Fowler, Marcus Stroman, Lucas Giolito, NCiB Patron Saint Sean Doolittle and other players make their voices heard. We talk with Bobby Coon of the “Pulling  Tarp” podcast about the present and the future of the Minor Leagues: players being cut loose, players being paid or not depending on the team and access to David Price, contraction, and a better way to run the whole thing if Bobby were in charge. MLB’s plan to drive a wedge between highly paid players and league-minimum guys in the latest let’s put on a season plan backfires, as players stand united and say, “show us the books.” While the CPBL looks to open up their ballparks at 100%, the Korean Baseball Organization has to slow down its plan to bring fans in at 30% capacity as South Korea’s coronavirus case numbers are back on the rise.
