Texas Rangers Spring Training 2020

[DT LUNA]

I wonder if the players are staying in Arizona in order to stay up to speed and be self contained so to speak? Haven't really heard. I know some of their families would be there as well.

Good question but at who's cost?

JTA did you once say you went to GPHS?

I did

I did

Myself. Played a lot of baseball at Turner Park and football in the Gopher bowl.
Small world. Also did practice teaching there as well.

Just saw they were being told to go home.

Just saw they were being told to go home.

The fact that the players are being allowed to go home is causing some to guess that it could be well into May before the season starts. Possibly Memorial Day. Obviously no one knows for sure.

Baseball insiders don't think the game is back until at least May - HardballTalk | NBC Sports

I feel sure the pitchers(rotation & pen) and starting position players will be staying in condition.

Ramp down and then ramp up.
Crazy season even before it starts. Took something like this to take the heat off the Astros

I just really hope those guys don’t win the World Series this year.

my mindset is literally “ anyone but them”.

WOW! Much longer than I expected. So do the teams practice until then? Uncharted water. How will this impact the end of the season?

It's the pitchers that are the biggest concern, I think. They were already ramping their schedules up for a normal season start. Do you keep them on a throwing schedule? Make them rest? There's no set timetable, so what the hell happens?

Hopefully this will be thought out carefully. I'm sure it will but it has never been a problem before therefore there will be different opinions on the approach.

We'll have to see if we're slowing the spread of this thing. Obviously we're doing quite a bit towards that. But it could be that after the next several weeks, if it's still spreading, the decision is made to cancel the season outright. Un-f'n-believable.
