I do too, for not getting the 22nd Amendment repealed, running for a 3rd term, and saving us from the last three years.Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostLast edited by Sour Masher; 06-06-2020, 03:07 PM.Comment

I'm pretty confident there will be a season poll."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

But do you think there will be a season? You might have more of an idea than anyone else here. Then again, you might not be able to share it, too.Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostComment

Manfred can implement a season of any length, so while the players might be extremely upset if there's a shorter version, there will almost certainly be a season of some length.Comment

Probably, but we are already past the point of getting baseball by the 4th of July, which is a tremendous wasted opportunity. A 50 games season would be such a crap shoot. I think it would alienate a lot of fans. It would be better than no season, but still will be much worse than it could have been.Originally posted by revo View Post
My keeper league won't run at 50 games this year. Maybe we do a redraft. That would be a bummer.Comment

my auction owners did a "parallel universe" redraft over the entire month of April. 25-man rosters, no transactions, no cash.
if we decide not to have our auction league this year on a 50-game schedule, we already have something in place for amusement purposes only.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

If the owners want a 50-game season, then July 4 was never a real possibility. A 50-game season starting on July 4th would have ended in early September.Originally posted by Sour Masher View Post
A 50-game season would need to start by August 1st to complete when owners want it to end.Comment

Well, they certainly wouldn't have to worry about fitting in an expanded playoff in that situation.Originally posted by revo View PostComment

Here's a thought - let's say the owners and players come to some sort of agreement on a 50 - 70 game season. But about 6 major, big-name players decide to not play due to safety reasons; say, Trout, Scherzer, Snell, Kershaw, Yelich, and JD Martinez. How will an auction league respond if they've had their auction? If they haven't had their auction?I'm just here for the baseball.Comment

Great question. I have no idea. RJEL didn't want to reschedule and I guess we'll soon face reality.Originally posted by chancellor View Post
I also wouldn't say "safety" reasons but likely it just wouldn't be worth it for many of them where service time isn't an issue.Comment

No need to overthink it. Just say, "That's a tough break. Hope you have better luck next year."Originally posted by chancellor View Post“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
