Strider Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 On the plus side the Angels are still at .500. Usually by April 30 they are 8 games under, so they are ahead of the curve this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan1977 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-2020-season-update-owners-will-not-approve-more-than-60-games-players-will-likely-vote-saturday/ Today the MLB players will vote on proposed 60 game season with 16 making the playoffs. FINAL OFFER. And if rejected the commissioner, Manfred, can simply invoke his power and set the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to try and find out if the decision is in? i hear if they reject it Manfred can simply write the schedule? Proposed 16 teams to make playoffs. Maybe my O's would get in? Or not. At the time of this post the vote is not yet in. It was supposed to happen yesterday Edited June 21, 2020 by LedZeppfan1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Sucks. Also there will be 16 teams to make the Playoffs. I have NO doubt that the Saint Louis Cardinals will be one of those Teams. Go Cardinals. Good Luck to You your Baltimore Orioles.

paul carruthers Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) 16 teams in the playoffs now-- I think my first impulse is to yawn and call bullshit; like the NBA playoffs aren't boring enough with 16. Oh well, ball will be played come July, if the article I read is accurate.... Edited June 25, 2020 by paul carruthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan1977 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Lets see how the Houston Astros are treated? They dodged a bullet. If Covid helped anyone its the Houston Astros who were going to catch hell. Now if these games are in a Hub city they dodge another bullet. But if they go to Yankee stadium? Yikes. The Boo birds will be out in force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFC too. But NBA, MLB, NHL all need to hang it up for the season. Hopefully NFL can have something... Things could’ve been so different, if...

paul carruthers Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Checked ESPN's webpage--nothing set yet as far as team schedules, but I believe they are still shooting for the 24th as the opener; Yanks vs. the Nats. Should be interesting with no fans in the seats or limited seating... Whatever approach MLB wants to take, i'm ready for ball to be played, even with some of the insipid changes they've made....

I hope so. Hockey is still supposed to start the playoffs on the 29th but I am not holding my breath as the St Louis team was called out of practice, someone tested positive if not more than one? My fear is it might happen in baseball and football as well? This crap is a nightmare. And your state along with Texas are the worse right now.
