Just another piece of chicken shit in the rain.

This is a bad sign.

Just curious, I don't watch the game. But are they having the 7th inning stretch even without fans?

Excellent question. I don’t know.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Maybe not full 60 but they will push to get it done.

The other big thing working against baseball is this is an awful lot of rainouts for July. Not usually a lot of rain to the point of cancel at this point.

The commissioner has threatened that the season may be canceled if teams don't get a handle on the Coronavirus.

Why don’t you just go watch some NBA.

You are in denial. There is a very good chance the baseball season will be canceled.

I’m in North America, not Africa.

I’m gonna go against the grain and say all 60 games get played. Season survived the first wave of adversity, and I’m gonna put some foolhearted hope in the higher ups that they learned from it and will have a better course of action going forward.

Yeah, maybe some teams might get in all 60 but it's not looking good.

 

[RobToxin]

This won't help either:

Make the fuckers forfeit.

And the hits keep coming:

Shit organization.

No. Even if they keep playing with backups, games that are postponed will likely not be made up because of the compressed schedule. There just aren't enough days off. So we will probably see a missed game here, a missed series there, that will not be made up. Could get awkward for the playoffs if a team misses about a quarter of their games while others play 55-60.

Well, I sure as hell NAILED this one...Looks like everyone is going to get 60 or close enough.

Looks like they did a good job of containing it whenever there were team outbreaks, and there wasn't this massive wave through the entire league. I was wrong.

All of the people that claimed the NBA, MLB, and NFL would never get through their seasons fail to understand the power of money.

Too many people and companies stood to lose billions and billions. They were always going to find a way.
