    In theory, fights are forbidden. We'll see how that works given baseball's "self policing" affronts to the unwritten rules.

    How would social distancing work if you're trying to hold a guy on at first base?

    Byron Buxton hurt again.

    He's going to go down as one of the biggest what if? injuries guys of his generation.

    With 2020's luck, it'll be the 11 guys without the guide dogs.

    Interesting thing was watching a couple of the early intrasquad games for the Tigers without umpires. The players were more than capable of calling balls and strikes, safe and out. And the games moved quickly. It's not feasible in a competitive situation, but fun to see how they play a game without interference.

    West is not one of them -- he did a sim game yesterday and already said -- coronavirus won't stop me, I'm working.
