You wouldn't have your ticket if it was already taken by a season ticket holder

Edit: unless somehow a non season ticket holder had an opening day seat somehow

And although Manfred suggested andMLBPA agreed it still could not get done because after 6PM. Very weird

Why would I invest hope?

Nearly 100 days in. These buffoons are doing considerable damage to the sport at this point. Other leagues are taking advantage or will take advantage. The NFL is pretty much a 12 month sport now.

Keith Law had this to say about this year's draft.

As many as seven college pitchers who could have gone in the first round are out for the rest of the season with injuries, including Connor Prielipp (Alabama), Reggie Crawford (Connecticut), Peyton Pallette (Arkansas), and Henry Williams (Duke), all of whom underwent Tommy John surgery. And Carson Whisenhunt (East Carolina) was suspended indefinitely for an undisclosed reason. Tennessee’s Blake Tidwell also hasn’t pitched this season due to a shoulder injury, and we’re waiting for an update on Landon Sims (Mississippi State), who underwent an MRI on his elbow earlier this week. In this case, no news is not good news.

That impacts the entire draft because so many teams flee to the safety of college pitching when it comes to draft day: Nine college pitchers went in the first 30 picks last year, nine the year before, six the year before (plus one two-year college pitcher). My top 30 below has just four college pitchers on it, one in the top 20. The last time we didn’t have a college pitcher taken in the top 10 picks was 1979, when Rod Boxberger was the first selected at 11th overall. That could happen this year, as well.
