Yes.   I’ll worry about it in 2021, if I’m still alive and kicking.    And if the O’s are still terrible then, I may not care if they strike or not.   A strike this year would have been a relief!

Bad baseball is better than no baseball.

Only to a point.    I literally haven’t watched more than 1-2 innings of a game in a couple of months.    This team makes me ill.

As I've gotten older sports has taken a back seat in my life. I still love baseball, and somewhat follow basketball and football, but aif a work stoppage came along I would probably quit watching baseball all together.

As long as it's played above ground, and I'm above ground, I'll be watching.

Why would they strike? If they strike I'll drop MLB like I have the NFL.

The main issue is they did a terrible job last time so they feel obligated to hew a tough line this time.

Let's kill the goose that laid the golden egg.  When all the baseball strikes started, baseball was the #1 sport in the U.S.  Now its the #3 sport and fading.

Pro sports has killed the golden goose. I love baseball. But when a bunch of millionaires go on strike then piss on them. I've had enough.

Yeah it would be nice to have a strike right now.  For the first time in my life I wish the Orioles would just stop the season early and forfeit the rest of their games.

Eh. I’ll be watching. It’s just bidness. Players will be fine. Owners will be fine. Talk to me in 2021.
