Not to be a fearmonger, but parts of the USA will likely be on lockdown for weeks at a time in the coming months. There are so many games to be played, and since a lot of us are gonna be stuck in our houses for long periods of time, it would be nice to watch some games on TV Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, you’d have to think if they don’t play empty stadiums they’d likely go to a shortened schedule (140 games?). There’s no way to make up 10s of games. Link to post Share on other sites

tonycpsu 5,791 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 [ Fellas, the arguing over how seriously to take this is getting tiresome. MLB and state/local governments are taking it seriously enough that it could affect fantasy, and that's what ultimately matters here. Let's all accept that we have different positions on the concern scale at this point and focus on news updates and more relevant discussions about what this might mean for baseball. ] Link to post Share on other sites

Overlord 1,833 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 We're going to see players take the field in empty stadiums this year, aren't we? If ONE player catches the CoronaVirus it's going to shut that entire team/franchise down for a minimum of two weeks. That seems unprecedented to me in any of the major U.S. sports. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
