It's looking more and more that the league will just force both sides into a shorter 50-ish game season and pay the players their full prorated salaries. Can Altuve hit .400+ for 2020? Haha I know I will be torched for saying this, but I am okay with baseball not playing this season. I never thought I would have either thought or said it. I just think both the owners and players need some humility. Plus, more time away from everyone trying to guillotine the Astros..... |

The media will never let us off the hook for the cheating. Can't say that I blame them....Go Stros! |

I think some sort of season will happen. Reason being, it will look really bad on baseball as a sport as both the NBA and NHL work something out to resume their seasons. In addition, both the NFL and College Football will have their seasons this fall. I just think if MLB and the MLBPA can't come to agreement and there is no baseball this year, it could lose a lot of fans permanently and could have long lasting negative implications.

I miss baseball but I won't be heartbroken if they skip this season. Also, with the turn this country has taken, I'm really considering not watching football. I'm just tired of all this crap. |

I found going sans Football to be soothing since there were outrages at least every half hour before I stopped watching. |

Watching the 1980 playoff series. I can’t get over how much faster the game is now.

The players have been dropping the "strike" hints for a while now. I can imagine a scenario where these losers try to use this lost season to punish the owners.

I don't post very often, but I do have an opinion on this one. I love baseball, but I've noticed, kind of surprisingly, that I haven't really missed it over the last 2 1/2 months. The way the two sides have gone at each other makes me realize that it really is truly a business for them, screw the fans. Well, if they decided to cancel the season, go right ahead, fine by me. They've had it REALLY GREAT for a LONG time. I don't want to see them disintegrate, but if that's the path they choose with their bickering, then they can sleep in the bed they made. They need to wake up and smell the coffee, settle their differences and play ball. If not, I've got other things to do, and I most likely will watch when and if they come back, but maybe I won't. I might not care.

To be honest, I think I'd rather see real minor league baseball than a half-hearted MLB season. But let them wear the MLB uniforms and play in the Big League Stadiums.

Let the pampered, overpaid assholes stay out the rest of the season. I don't care. I have easily replaced them with Gunsmoke, The Virginian, Laramie, Cheyenne, and old western movies. Piss on these greedy owners and players. People have lost jobs due to all of this bullshit and these players are crying about getting every nickel of their huge contracts. It is disgusting. After the virus, we get to watch these thugs destroy cities while gutless governors, mayors, and law enforcement sit by and watch.

Astros bust out a $200M payroll for the 1st time and the season gets cancelled, if that
Rooting for this team sure is special

Mlb does not care about us, the fans. I am happy to report that my teams first little league game will be next Monday here in Lufkin, Tx. Field 4 at 7:30. Suck on that, mlb.

I'm frustrated at both sides as well, but I miss it too much to not have at least a partial season.

I kind of hope they don't play (period broken on my laptop) Watching them now would be like anticipating a 1-month beach house stay and end up spending a weekend in a tent on Lake Livingston/ You might still have fun, but it ain't the same thing
