The season was never going to be as good as a regular one because it’s abridged, but the plot to introduce more ADD rules puts a damper on things even further.

If we win it, I will consider it a true championship. If NY or La win, I will not.  Just going into July, it is really difficult to think of the starting of a Baseball season. Now with the latest news of this virus spiking, it makes you think the brakes will be pumped again. Also looking with the unrest in these major cities, not looking what might be left of this season, but next year who will want to attend a game. Security will be a major issue, I have family in the police family, this defunding of the police mob crowd looks like is not going to die soon. If the would let a few of us rednecks after them, the mob crowd wouldn't last long. |

They didn't give a damn who was "offended" and I guarantee you no statues would be vandalized or removed and I would have enjoyed watching what would happen to the fools who stood in the streets and highways to block traffic. Funeral directors would be worked to death. |

Guys getting off work in my area won't even slow down for cars, much less people. These NASCAR Driver wannabees just push you off the road with jacked up pickups and 18 wheelers.

With there being a short season there could be records broken. Maybe the lowest era for a season from a starting pitcher. Maybe, there will be a player or players that bat over .400.
Thoughts?

If the season actually gets off the ground, one thing is for sure, there is going to be a lot of funky records set. With a sixty game season, you might be looking at a starting pitcher at tops getting 10 starts if that. When you think in a regular season they play an average of 30 spring training games, until players get into the swing of things with expanded rosters, especially pitchers the season winners in stats department most likely will be surprising. |

One thing is for sure, with only 60 games we can’t afford to start slow. That could be the difference in making the playoffs. Last year we started 40-20, so I imagine that would get us in to the playoffs if we repeat that.

Basically....I hope this does not continue, if MLB goes back to a full 162 game season...Someone said on the radio a week ago, and I agree: No reason to have 162 game season, to find out who the top 16 teamsa are.... |

Anyone else think the DH in both leagues is going to be permanent.

Every year or two we complain about some new rule change. All sports change over time. I don't think any of us wanted the DH when we moved to the AL, and now I think most of us are pretty okay with Yordan.

I'll tell you one thing for sure; I don't miss the days of Everett, Ausmus and then the pitcher batting. |

A terrible rule and ridiculous. Maybe they will eventually wise up and get rid of Manfred before he ruins the game completely. |

Right now I don't like it, but a few years from now (if it's still a rule) I probably won't care anymore. |

It's not much fun here anymore. It's too much like watching MSM and I've quit that and the NFL already.

I know, having a DH takes a huge element of coaching strategy out of the game.... |

If the season would have started on time we would not have been in this situation. Nah, it's more than that. The nefarious nutjobs whom we used to relegate to the back burner have come front-and-center and it seems more and more powerful politicians and powerful corporations are joining hands to make people who believe as I do outcasts. The NBA was ruined a long time ago. The NFL is actively being ruined. MLB won't be far behind. |

We do not have the results on that yet, but they did say he is positive for sars. Do you know anything about sars? |
