U dont want to know how much a beer will cost

At least you get more foul balls tho

Maybe they'll limit attendance to 1 family per section and just increase prices to match

I wonder how many season ticket holders bailed this year (if they we able to).

Apparently MLB & the MLBPA are close on an agreement regarding the contingency plans for this season.

Doubleheaders up to twice a week, and perhaps the season going until December are on the table. MLB is also asking for players to pro-rate their salaries if the season is shortened.

I do not understand how baseball will be played in December. Where are they going to play the games set in cities where it is 20 degrees? You can't play baseball in that kind of weather.

I mean... you can... in fact it might be sorta entertaining.

Baseball in the snow brings an added dimension of excitement.

California, Florida, Arizona and indoor stadiums.

Lots of good talk on MLB Network Radio. Starting the season by July 1, 100 game season, up to 10 double-headers (possibly 7-innings), expanded playoffs, neutral site games in all the domes in November/December.

Never give up hope!

And how would a positive test from a player on day 1 be handled?

when I played a lot of slo-pitch we would have winter tournaments branded sno-pitch ... if there was a lot of snow it became easy to get in the park home runs due to the time taken to find the ball; on icy days, well that added a whole other dimension to hard hit balls in the gap (altho running the bases also had its challenges). good times.

July 4th

Love this one. I hope this is it!

I have the same question, as well as all those who test positive later. Will players, even ones that have mild symptoms that pass quickly, be quarantined for a full 14 days? If so, I foresee many, many 14 day absences from players this season, if there is a season.

15 day DL?

80 games is the standard these days.

virgo has jokes. season is closed, world shuttered because of covid-19. should be obvious i was talking about positive test for that. normal protocol is if one tests positive they go on 14 day quarantine, along with all others in direct contact. as in 1 player testing positive should shutter a team.
