That is a pretty generalized view of an entire population of people from all over the world (baseball is an international sport) and one that won't apply to any player or coach or manager or team employee not 18 to 25. Also you're missing the larger point that the season was compelled by the commissioner and not at the players behest. Not really sure what you're saying re: a player passing away from the corona virus during the season isn't a big deal. Who isn't it a big deal to? Last edited by packs; 07-02-2020 at 05:10 PM. |

we could all stay locked down and save 100,000 lives...but we arent for lots of reasons as you know people are working right now at jobs that are at much more risk to their health than the ball players. the ballplayers dont have to play if they dont want to. ian desmond has opted out and so will many others......so again if one ball player does i dont see it as a big deal to MLB......they dont have to play if they dont want to and they dont need the money compared to the public at large... look how many players are already testing positive for the virus and they havent even started the season...if its the same percentage getting the virus when the season started and someone dies.....someone could of easily died without playing as they are still catching the virus anyway...plus what if the percentage catching the virus is less compared to what the percentage is now.. you going to blame mlb for the death when the testing percentage of positive is lower than what it is before they arrived to camp? if negligence and we have a whole team flare up..thats a different story... |

With daily testing, these millionaires in the prime of life and in excellent physical condition without, by and large, relevant pre-existing conditions, and the best medical care in the world, who have the option of opting out, can go hit a baseball.

For us, the '94 strike was crushing but mainly because of what it may have cost our Expos. The record-book shredding
steroid-fueled home run derbies of the later '90s were, to us, nauseating and far more off-putting. We slowly came back to the game and, desperate by this point to see any major league sports, were happy to hear that even a drastically shortened season would take place. Then we learn it's universal DH, runners on 2nd to start extra innings, pitch clocks, mandatory batters faced, and whatever other youth-league perversions of the game they can jam in there. Hey, will the mercy rule be in effect? As far as we're concerned, whatever it is they're starting, it ain't baseball. Find a gym for everybody and have 'em play Indoor Baseball, that'd be just as "interesting." Or, with no spectators anyway, any softball field and fifty games of slo-pitch. At least there'd be a novelty factor. And dadgummit, you kids stay off our lawn, by cracky...
