3. They cancelled tonight's game. Home opener I think.

[MineralMan]

2. The season isn't going to 60 games, I guarantee.

It'll end well before that, I'm sure. Football won't even get started, i think.

6. K&R,

4. Up to 14 total from the Marlins

Yes, the season is going to be canceled, sports is not possible until this is either totally under control nationwide or there's an effective vaccine.

5. Time to stop this silly experiment

And it's no fun watching games without crowds.

Shut it all down and we'll see you next year.

7. Teams have a 60 player pool to choose from now, maybe some other guys get a chance to play

For a couple weeks anyway

8. the entire team was not allowed to leave Philly and are locked down in their hotel

Yankees don't want to play in Philly, where the Marlins were for 3 games.


Sports is over.

9. Terrible

They shellacked us here And the reward is to get sick. This is just awful. MLB is gonna have to cancel.

[LArider]

13. I saw a tweet earlier

that said phillies drop 2 of 3 to a modern day leper colony. As a Braves fan, it made me laugh.

10. Hunger Games Redux

At the end if the season, whichever team has the fewest covid-19 positive players wins the world series

11. No school. No sports.

Both are impossible in the middle of a pandemic.

12. It was only a matter of time, and not much of that.

Sure, I miss baseball, but there's no way to have a safe season for any sport right now. It's stupid to even try. I do hope they all recover.
