As serious as this all is, a little humor every now and then is appreciated.

Yup -- Or even just... always.

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.

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

80 games is the standard these days.

15 day DL?

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

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.

July 4th

Love this one. I hope this is it!

Baseball in the snow brings an added dimension of excitement.

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.

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!

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.

California, Florida, Arizona and indoor stadiums.

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