Covid-19 along right field line.  Healthy people along left.

Foul balls could be interesting.  Would fans not be allowed to go after one that ended up in the section where the extra players were seated?

Good question on that...seems like that almost certainly would have to be banned.

Perhaps with only 8,000 fans, they can keep track of anyone who goes after one if it's not allowed.

And if that's the case, too bad we didn't have Covid foul ball rules in 2003.

According to the Athletic Brandon Morrow will likely not be a contributor to the Cubs this year.

Sharma/Mooney:

Outside of Brandon Morrow’s painstakingly slow recovery from arm troubles and various players (and Ross) dealing with the flu, the Cubs’ spring was rather uneventful when it came to the injury report. That remains the case, but sources indicate that Morrow won’t be an option for the team this year.

So, how's that different than last year?

The implication here is because his arm is damaged?  Or does perhaps the health agreement not allow for high risk personnel, usually those being older coaches?  But since Morrow is T1 diabetic, which is a high-risk category, is he not even allowed to participate.

He can choose to participate if he wants. Since he is high risk he is able to be paid if he opts out.

Thanks.  I assume that means that if he's not an option, that his arm still isn't feeling good.  I don't imagine that he'd voluntarily opt out at this stage in his career.

If the 2020 season ever does get off to an unlikely start, look for the radio and TV announcers to work from home when the team is on the road.

When did radio announcers first start traveling with the teams?

We'll find out sometime tomorrow what the actual list is.

1B (2) A. Rizzo & A. Rivas
2B (4) Bote, Kipnis, D. Descalso, T. Giambrone

RF (3) J Heyward, S Souza, B Davis

RHSP (8) Y Darvish, K Hendricks, T Chatwood, A Mills, A. Alzolay, C. Rea, C. Abbott, T Miller

Jordan Minch wasn’t happy to have been left off the taxi squad or be among the minor league free agents released earlier.
