Man, those Mariners teams were stacked back in the day. ESPN showed that game a few nights ago. It was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably for the best...or something. I am doubting this season gets off this year--Manfried is such a raging dip****, he makes Goodell look like Paul Tagliabue. Hell, I'd take Gary Bettman over him. I miss baseball. There is nothing like watching a game, live. Enjoying the summer air, watching Max, Stras, Corbin, et al make people look stupid. Soto making opposing pitchers crap themselves... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 You would think baseball would be the one sport that has the easiest path to reopening. Completely outdoor sport, typically half empty stadiums where people are social distancing anyways. Not many drunk buffoons screaming or yelling like at football games.

88Comrade2000 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Shouldn't this be the 2020 baseball season? 2019 is long gone. Once the fans Gen X and older die off; not many will give a damn about baseball. If they don't play, people won't give a damn whenever it comes back. We are already seeing minor league teams being eliminated. I think they miss 2020, you will start seeing some small teams fold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Good luck #1. Getting all the players, coaches, trainers, etc for 30 teams in one "bubble". Probably away from their families. #2. Having the facilities to host all those teams basically 6 days a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Doesn't look there's much a chance of a 2020 season at all this year, but at least the Nats will be defending champs when they do come back Edited June 20, 2020 by SAli457180 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you don't like baseball, have you been to a game lately to see who's in there these days? Not watched one on TV, I mean like actually get off the green line and take it back home.

I hate typing that but that's the reality. And college football & NFL are next on the list of not happening. Unless a miracle vaccine/cure is developed in the next couple of weeks sports in 2020 are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball, who's contract with players expires after the 2021 season is heading for labor trouble again. Basketball, if the players don't play this summer; the NBA will tear up their C.B.A. contract. Football, they need the money. Even if a a whole team got the virus, they would just have that team forfeit their games and still play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not going to happen, for financial reasons, as well as restlessness that will undoubtedly build the longer these sports leagues aren’t operating. What’s ironic is that baseball might actually be the safest sport besides soccer in contact between players. Baseball should’ve been back by now, and it’s hilarious and sad how screwed up this whole ordeal was between the owners and the players. These sports leagues might as well resume operations, because if you are stating that they cancel all of 2020, what makes you think that it will be better in 2021? You can’t pause sports leagues for this long without major financial ramifications. It’s better to just jump into the pool of uncertainty now, rather than risking tremendous financial burdens later.

I don't really understand this. I mean, I guess you have to weigh the revenue for 60 games vs the revenue of life without a good portion of your team (due to performance related complications from covid, or outright death). No, I doubt baseball will be back (on schedule at least) in 2021, but I don't see the logic in just saying "**** it," and throwing everyone out there. Financially, or humanely, I just do not see it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
