Do the Orioles get the second overall pick next year if there is no baseball this year?

When the NHL canceled their season due to the lockout the next draft was ordered by lottery. So who knows?

Very unprecedented, I could even see a lottery type of system.

But, until the whole season gets canceled, its just pure speculation.

 

Maybe they can just go off ZiPS projections.

If you're the Astros bigwigs, how great is this news? You get to duck under a bigger news story and come back the following year when the cheating scandal has largely blown over.

My coworker is there right now. I think she's absolutely insane. 

Disney people. 

I've done a lot of work for Disney over the years and have always had a very high opinion of them.  However, to still have their amusement parks open right now is unconscionable.  There is no excuse to be open for business tomorrow.

ST expected to be suspended today.

Did the games at 1:05 PM start? If you are cancelling the games than cancel them.

I was there at the end of January.  There were already a lot of Chinese people with masks on.   I was a little bit worried back then.  At this point you have to be a total lunatic to stand in line with thousands of other people.  

I was supposed to spend all next week relaxing on the beach in Barbados. I had to cancel.   Now I will be stuck at home worrying about whether I am going to get a disease.

Maybe the Astros are behind it...

MLB statcast is active and reporting NY-WSH game in the Bottom of the 1st.  I'd assume yes.

Starting to look like today's games will just happen and things will be cancelled starting tomorrow. Who knows. 

What a mess.

What a mess.

If you know you are going to cancel tomorrow's games why wouldn't you cancel today's games?

Baseball's been suspended, folks!  Guess we have more handwringing to do for how we'll lose 100 games whenever the season starts and with what players we'll be doing it with.
