To be frank, Frank. I really thought the opening games would be killers. Never do well at Tropicana, the place that Jays go to die. Nationals are defending champs and all. Easily could have won two more of their games, one for certain. So in the end being 4-3 is not a disaster. Just hoping Giles doesn't need Tommy John and that Ryu doesn't become our next Dickie. Looks like Pearson may be our Ace earlier than expected.Frank E said:Season is starting very well for the Jays, another loss yesterday.
Frank E said:I don't know how MLB would get hubs and bubbles for 60 games by the PA.
How can they with the protocols they have in place? The covid bomb is ticking.Joe S. said:I?m not to fussed about this, but I have been thoroughly unimpressed with Guerrero. I know he?s still young but he doesn?t appear as someone who is taking the majors seriously.
In any case, it?s hard to get too worked up because I don?t consider this a real season, and I?m not even sure they?ll complete the 60 games.
100%. The league thinking they could pull this off with barely any restrictions Inacountry where the pandemic is raging was always foolhardy.Highlander said:The conjecture is the season will be cancelled on Monday. To bad, I was enjoying me baseball but if these guys can't keep safe, better to cancel it.

Aren't they also allowed to go out to restaurants while travelling? Do they have restrictions when they aren't playing?Nik said:Bender said:100%.

I think people are being a little unfair to MLB here. I agree that they probably should never have tried but the whole "It's so easy to do, just look at what the NBA/NHL are doing" stuff seems to really not have a grasp on what the issue really is. Realistically the bubble can work for a short amount of time. If, however, you're trying to schedule a season that could last 6 or 7 months and requiring guys to either be with their families during a time of pandemic or say goodbye for half a year or more, you'd have had massive amounts of opting out.
You couldn't realistically enforce some of the restrictions necessary for this to work so ultimately any real attempt was doomed to failure. So, yeah, give MLB a hard time for trying this but the idea that doing this was ever going to be easy or that there's a way to do it they simply didn't have the brainpower to figure out doesn't seem fair.

Then they aren't on the same page. Either they get that level of buy in and they keep playing or they don't and the season is over.Nik said:Bender said:Aren't they also allowed to go out to restaurants while travelling? Do they have restrictions when they aren't playing?
I don't know but that's sort of my point. MLB can't just unilaterally impose those sorts of restrictions on players.
