So the Marlins screw up the Orioles and the Yankees/Phillies will probably get to do two back to back doubleheaders.

They did build in contingencies to move to other cities in the event of an outbreak.

One has already been replaced, as Jorge Alfaro was swapped for Chad Wallach. The would have to replace 11 others... SP Jose Urena 1B/OF Garrett Cooper OF Harold Ramirez and 8 other unidentified players.

Yeah... let's not go all Adam Silver on the season yet.

Then get working on the roster crunch and move on with it.

Exactly... in a world where a player can throw out their shoulder just by washing their truck, then there are risks. There are risks in everything you do in life.

You do you... I am still looking forward to the season.

No, but it may be the type of baseball we have to have in order to have a season.

Only 9 on the field at a time.

40 man shouldn't even count this year. They're making all kind of changes why not do away with the 40 man roster limitations for this kind of problem?

This will be the year they go 29-31 and screw up getting the top pick.

I don't think it's really worth it to try to have any minor leaguers play this year. It is unfortunate, but every team will be in the same situation regarding the development, or lack thereof, of their prospects. In this sprint of a season, I could see Mountcastle finally get a shot, along with perhaps Akin and maybe even Diaz.

Convenient, isn't it?

The cure is worse than the virus? Imagine that.

Thought I would update this with the more recent data point. After all, the CDC can't decide anymore what to do with this virus anymore than all of us sitting here at our keyboards.

Certainly first world problems, aren't they? As for spitting, Gaylord Perry wasn't available for comment.

If Blake Snell's comments are any indication, I'm leaning now towards no season. After all, we wouldn't want the players to "get theirs" as he said. ?

You keep saying schools closed... but you do realize that they are referring to the 2019-2020 academic year? There's literally just 4 weeks left of school. I know there are rumors about next year, but don't act like it's for the rest of 2020.

He's a kill joy all the time.

Maybe certain posters should have their own threads to themselves so we know which ones to ignore.

This will probably double as a temperature check too.

There were 96 deaths yesterday... down to 70 today. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

it doesn't help that hospitals get an added kickback on Medicare just by classifying them COVID without a positive case. So perhaps the numbers are inflated.
