There are too many baseball games anyway. End spring training, cut the season by half when it resumes, and kill a round of playoffs.

I'm less bothered by the number of games than the total length of schedule. I miss the old almost-weekly doubleheaders, which went a long way toward reducing the number of days that it takes to complete a season. We might very well see a bunch of those if they shorten the schedule, which is looking more likely by the day.

I say play out the MLB schedule- with no crowds and stream all games to the internet so we all have something to do during quarantine.

Sox are still cursed. Most anticipated team in a while and the World says we can't have nice things.

Well the Red Sox pitchers could use another month to be game ready so I'm cool with a delay.


<Not sure a month will be enough though>

Well, it's official. ST has been cancelled and opening day postponed for at least two weeks.

Opening Day delayed at least 2 weeks; Spring Training games cancelled

Would it help if I sent Manfred an email proclaiming I'm a f*ckface?

The governor of Illinois is recommending no games until May. :(

If so - this time June will be too soon to swoon.

Halting spring training will result in more player injuries down the road.

I don't quite get the baseball stoppage. I get keeping the fans away. Without the fans - these guys ought to be going to work - just like other Americans with jobs.

I haven't seen any updates as to how they will proceed with the shortened season. As in, will all 162 games be played, or will they simply chop off the games that will have been missed during the cancellation period. And before they resume, will there be any preseason games resumed to get the players back in regular season form. Stuff like that. Seems like they're operating on the fly right now.
