Rosters are 26, add in just team staff all the way down to medical personnel, you are likely looking at 100 people per team. How in the fuck can they make that safe right now?

RIPPA Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The folks in the PLENTY OF TIME TO HAVE A SEASON~! camp are the ones that believe that by June 1 everything will be back to normal My personal opinion is - yeah there is no way there will be a season but really no one knows anything. I think the best way to look at it was I saw someone comment when talk of the NFL not having a season came up "You want football this year? Then stay the fuck home!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly they're going to boost rosters to 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'd steer clear of Chapman while he's in that state. He has a history of being an irresponsible gun owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I'm just gonna leave this thread as the open baseball thread while we wait for the season to begin. Over/under is the 4th of July! In other news, Shin-Soo Choo is donating $1000 to every minor leaguer in the Texas organization. Because, again, the billionaire owners have delegated "doing the right thing" to their millionaire players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 There were some RUMBLINGS earlier today that MLB was looking at a 100 game season with no All Star Game or All Star Break and as compensation for Dodgers Stadium not getting the ASG, they would be the neutral site for the World Series. Some of that sounds plausible. Some makes me laugh. I don't know what to make of anything anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team with the best record should have home field advantage. Give the Dodgers next year's All Star Game.

RIPPA Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The reason the neutral site is being floated for the World Series is that most likely the season would be extending into like December (under that plan) So they need a - in theory - warm city and/or a domed stadium But again - there isn't gonna be a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I mean at least that plan is better than Scott Boras' play games only in parks that have roofs plan (Or the comical LOCK NFL TEAMS IN AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION FOR 17 WEEKS~! plan that Mike Florio keeps championing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Oh man, this is the most MLB shit ever. Even if zero games are played this year, MLB is going to consider all of the suspensions related to cheating (Luhnow, Hinch, etc.) fulfilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still picture a bunch of the plays they’d show during the closing theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
