coronavirus episodeFirst and foremost, this is the coronavirus episode, the most bizarre episode in the history of Foul Territory!

Episode 119 of Foul Territory: A Baseball PodcastThe Hangover edition — is the wall-to-wall coronavirus episode. Is there anything else to talk about? A few Headlines, and here they are:

  • MLB suspending spring training and delaying Opening Day at least two weeks (wishful thinking!)
  • All major sports and college spring sports halting their seasons
  • Indians trying to extend Francisco Lindor but falling short
  • Yankees’ Gary Sanchez coming down with regular flu bug 
  • Carlos Gonzalez unlikely making Mariners’ roster
  • Nationals players golfing with President Trump
  • Barry Bonds saying that being MLB pariah is a ‘death sentence’
  • FAA yanking license from Dallas aviation company for illegally flying Major League Baseball teams
  • Rockies’ Larry Walker was going to be honorary Avs’ goaltender

This week’s Starting Nine honors the Ides of March, and gives us nine players with Shakespeare quote names. They are Bard-tacular! Around the Horn features fantasy baseball Studs and Duds for every team, and the show wraps with Extra Innings and a look outside the world of baseball at where Tom Brady will land when NFL free agency starts and Kate Perry announcing she is expecting her first child with Orlando Bloom.
