Bring on the scabs. There are so many minor league players with no chance to ever make the bigs. MLB is cutting back on the numbers in the minors. Why don't they bring on those that want to play MLB baseball and get them in uniform. Opportunity of a lifetime.

I hope it all burns down. Ticket prices and salaries are too crazy anyway.

I lived in Houston in the Heights from 2000-2006 and could get in and out of an Astros game, with a hot dog and water, for about $12. If I had a $20 I could get a ticket and three beers. And they were really good then.

For me baseball is 8u coach pitch, Sophomores trying to make Varsity, JUCO, the College World Series, and nowadays the KBO. I get that the health of the sport overall depends on MLB because my son asks me every day when the MLB is going to play. But I could care less at this point.


Also, **** UNIONS!!!


Edit-Actually, I do kind of care. I want them to figure out a way to play.

LOL @ MLB...bleeding fans, interest and support for years!

One decade almost exactly since my last game...and that was because it was free to West Point staff...

You know, the more I think about it, if they can pull this season off, from beginning to end, it will be a huge win against the virus no matter how you look at all of this. A lot of leagues are trying to finish a season, but MLB is trying to start and finish one.

I am pulling for the league to have a great season.

After a month of ugly negotiations between the players and owners over how to navigate through the money of the shortened season, there will be a season of 60 games. Spring training will start on July 4th, and opening day is around July 24th.

So no expanded playoffs? It's gonna be a s**t show with teams getting hot for 2 weeks and making it

I bet at least one of the big contenders misses out in favor of a team like the Pirates or Padres.

Agreed - but if this year's title is going to have an asterisk regardless of who wins, I am all for a free-for-all sprint.

Whoever "wins" it all...be it Yankees, dodgers or anyone else better have an asterisk by its name...this is not a baseball season. This isn't for the fans, this for a whole bunch of frightened wealthy people who want their cut.

I dont think the WS winners will have an asterisk but if a guy (or a few guys) hit .400 they will get one.

All award winners this year will have an asterisk more than likely. Especially if it's a player that comes out of nowhere to win one

All of this talk about an asterisk is nonsense. Of course it will be a different season and a different championship, but I am not ready to downplay the accomplishment in this environment.

The only things that should have any kind of asterisk should be records like BA, ERA, etc.

It ABSOLUTELY will be viewed as an asterisk season...one long spring training session, way more injuries than usual, skewed stats and crappy ball. Would love to see some team that would have no business being in the playoffs go on a sudden hot streak and sneak in and "win" it all. The circling of the drain of the former past time will continue.

Do you want them to play or not?

You complained and said they were circling the drain by not playing, now you're complaining and saying they're circling the drain now that they're going to play.

Are they televised anywhere? I know there is a Texas streaming site that does high school sports. That would be cool.

TCL TV is streaming games in the TCL. Just go to the TCL website. The platform they used was a terrible viewing experience however. Uri Gueva had our $ refunded and apologized but did assure the streaming quality would be much better. You can watch individual games for $7.25 per game or an entire season with one team for $85. They also have a package for all TCL games for $120. All games for each team are the same days/times so not sure about that package. I believe all games are Tuesday-Sunday at 7:00.
