Assuming we can squeeze it in before complete societal collapse, it's the rolling 2020 MLB regular season...

And away we go!

apparently we're calling this a "ghost runner"?

matheny is the first manager to (as the visiting team) bunt the runner over to third in the 10th . . . and it worked!

cool

The SNB crew for the last 5 minutes has been interviewing Janet Marie Smith and nobody in the booth has picked up on the fact that we the viewers cannot hear a single word she's saying.

After four days, there are no winless teams and no undefeated teams. Seems like some sort of record.

first time since 1953

shit, i just saw this thread!

probably doesn't matter if the season's getting cancelled or whatever, but the baseballs they've used this year seem to be less juiced than last year, at least going by league HR/FB. down to '16/'18 levels. they might just be using the '18 batch again like they did in the postseason last year.

maybe a small sample size so far but considering 1. games are starting in the middle of july when home runs should be peaking, none of that cold april weather lowering the number 2. NL adding the DH should hypothetically make a small difference at least

this is the only thing i care about anymore

early results from european soccer suggest that the lack of fans diminishes home-field advantage, so i'm kinda curious to see how it goes in baseball

man the pitchers must haaaate coming on for extras now

i am watching the doings in Pittsburgh w/ delight

damn, was really rootin' for a 12th

they showed that graphic "most leads blown" and the Pirates led the league last year with 51 or something and I was like "I'll be impressed if they can beat that this year" well they are definitely on their way

no 12th!! I gotta go to bed!!! I actually kinda like the new rule
