Gipper Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 It looks we may very well have a baseball season this summer! Expanded number of playoff teams (yet a more shorter season), a universal DH, different conference realignment to reduce travel (Cubs and White Sox in the same league!), many other items such as player-owner revenue split--I hope it works out...

I was thinking about this yesterday. The Cubs will play against only NL and AL Central division teams in the regular season. I like that. very old school. So Cubs will play : Cards Bucs Crew Reds Sox Tigers Indians Royals Twins Quote
LaSalle Lions 1976 Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 I'm so glad baseball is back. I hope the union will get behind this. I see lots of upside with the plan for this year. I think the player's union will like the 30 man rosters with possibly up to 50 (per ESPN report) Lots of chances for players to make more money...that's a win. Let's go go go go White Sox...been waiting a few years for a season like this. Ricky's boys don't quit Quote
Gipper Posted May 11, 2020 Author Posted May 11, 2020 Hopefully this will be the case. I’m cool with an 82 game season as 162 is probably too many anyway. Maybe something like 125. Also like the DH. Quote
wabashalwaysfights Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I haven't seen the most recent proposal, but I'm guessing if its like the other prospective plans I've seen they will also be playing only in select southern cities? Quote

MarshallCounty Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Illinois and Ohio is balking at the idea of games being played in their cities, even without fans. Quote
