Baseball, as it means to me, is over for 2020. Baseball is spring training, Opening Day, early season phenoms, optimism or pessimism. I'll listen to a game but it ain't the same. The season stats will mean nothing. I have ignored their labor spats for decades. Who cares?

Baseball is a season long thing for me, 154 games or 162 games. Looking forward to 2021.

 

[Rock Strongo]

sums it up,from the article:

The public faith in baseball is at its lowest point in a quarter century, and every last bit of damage done is self-inflicted. It did not need to be this way.

Voted for the second and fourth options.

Players and owners can’t get their heads out of their asses. I love the sport, probably too much to ever walk away, but if this were happening in a sport that was lower in my pecking order, like say NASCAR, I’d be done. If anything NASCAR is more important to me than it has been since I was a kid and Dale Sr was still alive. They’ve handled this way better than expected and got back to racing ASAP

Better get the AAAA scrubs that need the paycheck on the field.

There will be a 50 game season at full pro rated salaries

 

[CaptainStubing]

There will be a 50 game season at full pro rated salaries

yes, both sides have already agreed to that and it's probably the most likely scenario.

yeah neither side is backing down from their demands, so I don't see anything else happening

I've got to agree with you on this one. Even if there is a season of 50 games or less for each team it will be tainted, the stats will mean nothing, and the World Series champion will mean nothing. And oh by the way, 2021 is looking more and more like a total lock out so there is not much hope for that right now either.

Baseball live at the stadium is still fun, still a time machine back to the good old days.

Baseball on TV kind of puts me to sleep.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

even if there is baseball, it wont be a normal season... Forget about the less games played... But there will be a universal DH and extended playoffs... That is by itself too weird...

At this point, if you are changing the rules of the game, why not just do something fun... Like tournament style baseball that doesn't involve actual teams...

I tried to tell them.

some people love that though... that you can take a nap at any inning, and wake up and feel like you watched the whole game...

MLBPA will have to agree on extended playoffs and it doesn't look like they're agreeing to anything.

both sides have been agreeing about extended playoffs, and universal DH...

That was in their proposal which wasn't accepted by the owners. They aren't bound by that.

from what I read, both sides have basically been agreeing about those two issues...
