he gone. Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Was inevitable. June 1 is my best guess. Playing 100 game season. Who knows - just baseball in a vacuum that could be good for the Sox. shorter season may mean a strong run equals a better chance at playoffs. Again, that's the baseball take in a vacuum. Stay safe.

hogan873 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I hoping early to mid May. With all of the precautions being taken now, hopefully a solid 1-2 months will see things improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubadentist Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 At least a months delay is my guess..... late April should be a safe bet..... God help us if the hysteria takes over and they go longer than that..... and what about a refund of our tickets???? Or are they going to Wirtz/Cub us and keep the cash as a downpayment on future games.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not official yet, just being reported that the decision has been made. Some spring training games in FL have already started and they're allowing those to conclude before enacting the suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdGen Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 All Arizona games are now showing as "Cancelled" on the MLB site. Looks like they are letting Florida games finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are going to get sick, its inevitable and theres no way the season is going to happen if there are cases in the clubhouse. This is stronger than the flu and some countries are reporting some disastrous effects (Italy's death to confirmed cases ratio). There is still a lot of unknowns in my opinion.

ChiSox59 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Everything sucks. Its kind of sad, but my life legit revolves around sports. Not sure WTF I am going to do with myself now. I don't even want to go the germfest that is the gym to burn some stress. The best 10 days of the year (cbb conf tourneys and march madness) cancelled. MLB delayed for the foreseeable future. My other hobby of playing poker is legit probably the worst possible place for spread of this shit. My enjoyment of day trading is virtually sapped as I (any everyone else) have just been crushed for weeks and am getting close to tapped out. So bummed. Weird times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I instantly thought about Kopech... how will this (if any) affect his service time. NO WAY in June can we send him down for 40 days and try to justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, that shit will just give me baseball withdrawals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
