Play Ball! After months of idiocy, schedule is in place & camps open July 1st

[EpochLink]

Normal, 5 teams per league.

Owners needed a deal from the players in order to change it.

Fair, 3 division winners and 2 wild card teams.

I could see the phillies trying to go for it as they seem to have money to burn, if I'm not mistaken they kept the most minor league players on their roster and have shown in the past they will spend stupid money.

As for the extra innings, I usually get Milb.tv every year and while I hated it at first as a stupid gimmick, it does make things kind of entertaining.

Haven't the Phillies just had a lot of positive test lately? No guarantee you'll recover from covid-19.

It will be crazy to see players pulled out of games last minute because they tested positive.

Espn has a bunch of rookie cards to unload. Only explanation for all their stories lately.

I think Manfred and the way this entire thing has been handled has been complete garbage and has permanently damaged the game.




Having said that.....YES!!!! Good Lord, I'm ready.

 

[BLONG7]

Are the players just getting paid their pro-rated salaries, this was the huge sticking point...?

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

I assume no fans in attendance?

Good luck with that, Jim.

And MLB has a problem. Maybe the 14 day quarantine will be lifted by the start of the season but right now, the Marlins or Rays traveling to NY to play games against the Mets or Yankees is not feasible.

Need fan noise to cover up the trash can or whistling or whatever teams plan to do

When you make Gary Bettman look good..

I honestly don't want to play. My Mariners are trash. I was hoping to finish tied for the best record.

Speaking of the Astros are teams going to forget that they are cheaters? Has the hatred died down due to this virus taking over the world?
