It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

How is one of your options moving to the heart of the pandemic? Just pick one of the 1,000 minor league stadiums and play there.

How does everyone feel about the runner on 2nd in extra innings rule? I'm somehow just hearing about it today and I hate it.

It's a loving joke. If they wanted to get rid of long extra inning games they should've just done a tie after 10 or 12 innings.

The Dunedin stadium was just renovated this year and a lot of stadiums would not be good enough to play MLB games on TV (which is what they are saying about the Buffalo option)

V: This is probably a horrible idea, I'm shocked it's gotten this far and still expect the "season" to get shut down early if it does start.

Mariners View: This is awful. They're still not going to make the playoffs regardless of how many teams are allowed in and even if they do, I'll end up reading 10000 comments about how their God awful playoff drought isn't really over cause getting bounced by a coin flip or whatever as the 23rd seed in a 24 team bracket shouldn't really count.

But, Baseball!

They'd be staying at the Harborcenter Marriott which connects to KeyBank Center, and I'd assume they'd have access to all the workout facilities at both places

And the visiting teams would be staying at the Westin a mile away

There are worse places to quarantine. And if the players are just mad they have to quarantine in the first place, then gently caress them for wanting to spread the plague.

Spot the funny:

https://www.schumer.senate.gov/news...the-2020-season

quote:

Dear Commissioner Manfred,

I write to urge Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Toronto Blue Jays to choose the City of Buffalo and Sahlen Field to play their home games for this abbreviated, but eagerly anticipated, 2020 season. Since it is Opening Day, there is little time for continued deliberation – now is the time to act – and Buffalo is ready to roll out the red carpet and welcome Major League Baseball to Sahlen Field and Western New York.

The partnership between Rich Baseball Enterprises, the Buffalo Bisons, and the Toronto Blue Jays has been strong since their affiliation began in 2013. The geographic proximity to Toronto and the access of Blue Jays fans to their AAA farm team has been beneficial to both cities. Buffalo has a sterling baseball pedigree, but hasn’t hosted Major League Baseball since 1890. It is time to rectify that lost opportunity.

The current ballpark was the precursor to everything from Camden Yards to Progressive Field and has aged very well. Designed with the intention of luring a Major League franchise, Sahlen Field is among the top flight of minor league venues. Having already played host to many of the players currently on Major League rosters, I have no doubt that any logistical concerns could be overcome in time for games to be played. Moreover, as a city, Buffalo has the capacity to host the Blue Jays operation during the duration of the season, and indeed would welcome them with the city’s extraordinary community spirit.

The cancellation of the International League schedule has resulted not only in an empty ballpark, but the loss of dozens of jobs and the postponement of summer baseball at Sahlen Field. The Western New York community is ready to live up to its reputation as the “City of Good Neighbors” and welcome Major League Baseball back to Buffalo with open arms.

Again, I strongly urge MLB and the Blue Jays to choose Buffalo as your home for the 2020 season. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance on this matter or if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Schumer

As far as I can tell he just didn’t throw as much during the shutdown as other guys so he needed more time to build up once things restarted.

What, your amp doesn't go to 11?

I know the White Sox start off against the Twins and Indians, are most of the teams going against intradivision rivals to start the season? There's potential to build a big lead (or dig a deep hole) right off the bat.
