Cup of Coffee: Talking baseball when there's no baseball
4/10 Cup of Coffee: You'd be forgiven had you not remembered, but the 2020 minor league season was scheduled to begin on Thursday afternoon. One of the staples of this site for several years has been our Cup of Coffee, a quick, breezy recap of the previous night's games. Sometimes a lot happened and the Cup was a must-read. Other days nothing particularly of note happened and, rather miraculously, people read anyway. It has been fun and humbling to be part of people's daily routine, and as long as baseball was happening, then the Cup of Coffee was happening too.
Baseball isn't happening right now, but in some ways the little bits of our routines that we can stick to are more important than ever. So, while we wait patiently and safely for baseball to return, the Cup of Coffee will be there. As ever before, the Cup isn't going to the spot for in-depth analysis; check out our news page, particularly Ian and Chris's State of the System series, for that. It'll be something light to start your day, a few paragraphs while you munch on your breakfast or procrastinate at work.
Stay safe out there.
