Will be an interesting season...short schedule, expanded playoffs, universal DH, new rules. I hate to say that every one of these things makes me sad. Season started instead of staying safe ... sad. Short schedule ... sad. Expanded playoffs ... sad. Universal DH ... sad. New rules ... sad. No real punishments for cheating ... sad. Maybe I've moved on from MLB. Maybe it moved on from me. But I still love baseball.

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5227 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	It’s been immediately obvious why this (covid) is a much greater issue for baseball than the other sports. The rigorous schedule gives no breaks to assess where teams are at. It likely would have just added another item to Hurstdm’s list , but I feel they should have built an off day in between every single series. Maybe 2. If 20 Phillies come down sick after playing the known-infected Marlins Manfried is going to have a tough time justifying continuation. Would suck. It’s great having baseball back. The Blue Jays have an exciting team. But Baseball’s plan just doesn’t seem as sound as what the NHL has come up with.

JohnnyBoi62 Joined: 06/21/2019 Posts: 356 Inactive	Good Point Seca. With the Cardinals catching big rona like crazy now, i doubt 2020 will be able to be salvaged. If so, they should have worked it into the schedule where you bunch up the games and opponents as much as possible. Thinking like mostly home and home series with some doubleheaders and then longer breaks in between to assess the damage and cart off the casualties: "ding... bring outcha dead! ding... bring outcha dead!" I just hope the NHL can pull off the playoffs format. Perhaps with an ever dwindling number of teams they get lucky and don't get any flareups.
