So apparently Domingo German threatened to retire on an IG post because with the season being shortened his suspension is now for the entire regular season.

Watching the Cubs play in an empty Wrigley Field is surreal. This is going to take some getting used to.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The Astros won't get booed by the fans today.

 

[John Price]

Ford, we're tied!

 

[John Price]

The Yankees end the game with a tie.

Thoughts on Dr Fauci throwing out the 1st pitch at the Nats home opener?

You don't need a "proven closer" to close games.

Arenado hit a HR, going to miss him when Bridich trades him for a box of girl scout cookies.

Still don't understand why baseball stadiums are completely closed to fans. They really can't sell a few thousands seats and adequately distance everyone?

I guess the problem is some cities it could work imo, but in others that are hotspots you wouldn't want to try so I guess they figure it's not fair for some to have a few fans while others can't.

One of the Independent leagues, the American Association started up on July 3rd with fans.

I think the problem is that even if only 5000 fans are in a 50000 seat stadium, there is still the real potential for several dozens of people to end up close to each other when entering the ballpark, in the hallways (especially at the washroom) and exiting the ballpark after the game. Unless you make masks absolutely mandatory everywhere in the ballpark, which would be difficult to enforce in such big stadiums, there is still outbreak potential even with a few thousand people in there.

A hot start like last year could be all a team needs this year. Here’s hoping we do that.

I don’t think the hassle is worth it for 5000 people. A bunch of extra headaches no one really wants right now.

MLB better get this under control and FAST before someone gets seriously injured & MLB faces a serious lawsuit.

Could have been avoided had they just suspended the Astros players. There was zero penalty for any of the Astros players.

A nice one-year ban (zero salary) would have been perfect - every player and coach on the 2017 team.

Giving Crane a ban too would have been nice. Vincent did it to Steinbrenner.
