And then everyone will pick sides on who screwed it up.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

The framework of the deal between Manfred and union chief Clark included: 60 games at 100% full prorated pay, waiver of grievances, 16-team expanded playoffs for 2 years, universal DH, more. Owner sources say it was agreed to pending constituency approval, meaning owners, players Early word is players don’t love the 60 games and some are even calling it a proposal not the agreement owners see it as. Owners view it as an agreed-to deal with players’ option being to turn it down, whereupon they could get a 50-game mandated season as allowed by March 26 deal Owners also agree to $25M player playoff pool plus $33M in salary forgiveness for players already fronted part of $170M advance so min. $ guys wouldn’t return for no $. So in effect players get >100% prorated. In any case some players view latest as only proposal, not agreement Owners are believed ready to sign off on what they see as a deal — 60 games at prorated pay, plus $58M in playoff pool/salary forgiveness, waiver of grievances, expanded playoffs for 2 years — but the ball is in the hands of players, some of whom see it as a proposal, not a deal https://twitter.com/JonHeyman

Within the last year two doors down moved in.
A young couple. I don't know them well cause I've been secluded in my house for a while but some neighborly discussion was being done and I was introduced to them. The Female a nice young lady I was informed works high up in the Baseball Commissioner's office. Got to get closer with them and talk some baseball...lol

Seems to me like neither side really wants to play
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Just remember with many young people who has gotten the virus their symptoms are mild in comparison with the High risk crowd. Also many are carriers of the Virus without symptoms so when they test positive and their are several. Yes, they must go in some isolation protocol but their return is imminent and the key is testing, Isolation for those carrying the virus and simply washing your hands and I say face with some soap that kills 99.9% of virus - I use Dial products.
We have to learn how to survive this virus. But with players somebody getting it is imminent. They can create a bubble but it is not fool proof. The key is early detection.
Professional golfer Nick Watney was not feeling good and after reporting his symptoms when finishing his first round he was tested and the next morning it was announced that he was dropping out of the tournament and was tested positive.
I'm curious to how his player group tested after that round. Luke List and Von Taylor along with their caddies.

MLB will set a schedule and have a season, it announces MLB has asked the union for two things by tomorrow at 5: 1) can players get to spring training in 7 days? 2) will players agree on the Operating Manual that lays out health/safety protocols for the 2020 season? MLB notes that provisions in the framework deal rejected by union will not be in place, including 1) universal DH for 2 yrs 2) $25M in player playoff pool 3) $33M in salary forgiveness 4) Overall earnings of 104 pct of prorated pay (counting playoff pool and salary forgiveness $ MLB plans to implement a 60-game season provided the union agrees with the health/safety protocols and that a spring training 2.0 to start in 7 days MLB owners did the right thing by giving players their 60 games rather than punishing them for the rejection. Hear from players who were pleased MLB took the high road in the end on this issue. Of course, by giving them the full 60, it may also blunt a grievance, to a degree. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman

MLB will play and half the league will end up with Covid. I wonder how many managers will die? I wonder how many players will have their careers shortened because their lungs were damaged by the virus... But making money is far more important than the safety of the players. You can bet your last nickel that none of the owners will risk becoming infected... You won't see them down in the locker room or anywhere near the team.

Oh dear God, MLB players are social distancing on the playing field better than waitstaff and customers in a restaurant.
They have a right to do their job if they want to.
By all means you can protest and not show up as a fan.

So they’ll force the season, which will be filed under a grievance ... and probably held up due to safety concerns

It cost me less to drive to Pittsburgh stay at a hotel within walking distance of the Stadium. Go to a game with excellent Box seats. Stay over night. Check out the next morning and eat breakfast at a place that was on Food Network.
Cheaper than driving 30 miles to Queens and get some ok tickets, parking and eat at the Stadium with one beer each with wife.
Just that drive gets tougher as well as the speeding ticket going through New Jersey...lol

Unless the Operating Manual that lays out what is to be done in case of a pandemic the owners statement is pretty moronic.

I wonder how much MLB Extra Innings will cost this year? I’d pay the pro rated amount on a 60 game season.

They will get paid the full prorated amount which comes in around 37% of each guys salary.
Bob Costas made a good point. Is it worth the risk to them?
You make big money. You will make more money in the future. You should have money put away.
Why risk it for 37% of one year salary?
Anybody in high risk like Cookie. No way.
Already a good number have contracted it.
I miss it big time. Not sure how this will go?

My teams are the Braves and Tribe.
Who are the favorites for a 60 game run? Wow.
I like the Braves. They have a good young deep pitching staff both starters and relief.
And they can hit.
Dodgers and Yankees will tough as well. I don't see the Nats winning. The Astros are still good as well.
60 games will probably benefit weaker middling type teams. A team can get hot and in 60 games hard to catch up if you fall behind by much.
Baseball has always been about a marathon not a sprint. This year will be way different.

This year the Indians really can't afford to have one of their typical sluggish starts (.500 or below .500) that they've had the last few years with Tito as manager. They need to hit the ground running if they want to contend, because the Twins and the White Sox are for real.

In this case a 60 game season will benefit the team that has the least amount of Covid 19 victims. If a few of the top teams end up in quarantine the whole thing gets blown to hell.
It will end in teams disputing who should have won it all and will be huge astrerisk in the record books.

No matter how this schedule plays out there will be asterisk.
You can not go from 162 games to 60 games and say it is the same thing.
This is all about start fast and stay hot.
My guess is there will be a number of players who may just opt out. Who knows.
At this point I will watch anything and be thankful. I just want to see high level competition.

I’m still not sold on there being a season ... there are a lot of safety/health protocols to overcome

I meant MLB Extra Innings, the out of of market tv service. I went on direct TVs website, it said “the start of the 2020 season has been delayed. I have to assume that means they are in contract negations. Ideally, the cost should be 37% of the full season cost.

By all means you can protest and not show up as a fan. Yeah? How are they social distancing in the locker room? On the plane flying to different cities? At the hotel? On the team bus taking them to the games? Etc. Etc. The keywords you just said were IF THEY WANT TO. Give the players the choice of playing or not until there is a vaccine and if they choose NOT to play there are no reprisals later. Then if the players want to risk their entire career on this season to get paid they can do so and it was their choice. You can BET the owners aren't going to be putting THEIR health at risk.

Exactly. Good points. Risking your entire career or a good chunk of it for a 60 game season at 37% salary seems iffy at best. While it is true that Covid is most dangerous to older people(Managers etc) it does hit some younger people hard. It kills some kids. It also attacks the lungs HARD and it takes a LONG time to get back to 100%. Maybe years... so if a player gets it and it hits his lungs hard what does that do to his career? To be a pro athlete you really need good lungs...

Little League World Series perhaps. This could be worse than Strike Ball with the new rules I saw. Not sure it is the game spectators want to watch.
Indians have a shot. Wahoo for the Tribe!
