| Ya. I don't know know what the training facilities would be like. Room enough for everyone to lift weights and take batting practice? I suspect they regret not doing that (if feasible). Think the NHL got it right. |

| MLB has a big challenge because their players' union is by far the strongest. They were lucky to get any part of a season -- I think if Manfred didn't mandated it, the union and owners would never had gotten a deal done. Steve |

| Interesting point on the radio in lieu of the Reds broadcast tonight (they got the Rona, no game). The playoffs will use winning percentage as the means of qualifying for the post-season. Let's say the Cardinals, who have played 8 games as of today, play a total of 40 games and go 21-19 and the Reds play 60 games and go 31-29. The Cards, who played 20 fewer games, get the nod over the Reds. So the point brought up was: you get through 40-50 games and have a decent win %, claim a clubhouse "official" has had contact with the virus and shut it down until the playoffs. We've been witness to some pretty underhanded happenings the past few years just to win Manfred's "hunk of metal". Why would this strategy not be in the tool bag? Even if they ever got around to finding out, you've already sold your playoff merch and maybe even won the WS. |

| Any predictions on the MLB playoffs? Most people are glad that the Padres are in the playoffs in forever....but I think they have a chance to make some noise. Of course, with the 3 games series in the wildcard round, anything can happen. Steve |

| Quite interesting. Blake Snell vs the top of the Dodgers lineup .. 6 AB, 6 Ks <Manager consults the rulebook> Better not let him do that anymore. Let's bring in a guy that brings the relief to rolaids. |
