MLB 2020 Season Thread: Who’s Gonna Hit .400 Through 60 Games Edition

[Cail]

4 more Marlins have tested positive

Orioles@Marlins cancelled again tonight

Yanks@Phils cancelled again tonight

Nationals are supposed to play in Miami this weekend and the players have voted as a team not to go

[Xno Kappa]

So damn dumb. Just swap the series to Yankees vs Orioles instead of having four teams sit out versus two.

Maybe Manfred will finally be fired after this clusterfuck of a season attempt.

So apparently Patrick Mahomes has joined the ownership group for the Royals lol.

So how is this going to work? Are an assload of teams going to be forced into constant double headers with them when they comeback? It’s so damn clear Manfred and gang had no clear contingency plan on anything going into this.

They’re blatantly making shit up as they go along.

From going off a few twitters, MLB has precedent of having teams finish a season with different games played totals and going off win pct

[Krandor]

Marlins seriously had half their fucking roster test positive so far.

Fucking Florida man

Hey man, they just follow their Governor's advice. This COVID shit is fake news anyway.

Florida looks out for Florida.

You can't have a contingency plan if you had no plan in the first place.

Who would’ve thought the Marlins would be suspended before the Astros. 2020 is wilding out.

[synistar]

It's still stupidly haphazard considering the Marlins had an exhibition with Atlanta and both the Phils and Braves are scheduled to play later this week. I think everyone knows that it can take up to two weeks for the viral load to either show symptoms or blow positive. Then you get the Mets played the Braves this past weekend and now Mets still playing the Red Sox.

lol I just did MLB's contact tracing for them when shit hits the fan even harder next week.

Honestly, with the fact it's a super condensed schedule, I still don't know why they didn't basically reorganize under Cactus League/Grapefruit leagues and just keep everyone in florida/arizona and if things got better by the playoffs, let teams play in their home stadiums, otherwise pick a safe neutral city for the world series.

A friendly reminder that Dodgers@Astros starts in 40 minutes!

Pretty sure it was because the players union refused to go with a bubble type setup like NBA/NHL/MLS are all doing.

You know, the ones that actually appear to be fucking working.
