MLB Pseudo-Season 2020: Roger, Dodgers

Yeah, I would be very surprised if it's only two weeks, especially when you consider the NCAA tournament was completely cancelled it would've run well into April.
To be fair, Pritzker is a fucking moron, so there's that. He can make up the difference by taxing something else.
I'm not sure MLB sticks to "2 weeks" if a longer wait is warranted, it sounds more like a starting point.
two weeks minimum, and then at least a week or two for the players to ramp back up again (spring training didn't finish). June as the start date for a shorter season? Put me down for late in the week after Memorial Day for opening day. Unless things go to shit completely, in which case...?
RE: new thread title LOL
Yall will just do anything to pick on poor defenseless trash can lid connoisseurs. Trash can lid banging is an art form. When I was growing up we banged trash can lids all the time. Not to signal pitches in a baseball park, but just to irritate someone. Those poor Astros were just trying to point out the dust on the home plate and look at what everyone says now.
Go Astros!

Not surprised in the slightest. At this point, the season will definitely be abbreviated.
Yeah, we're looking at 144 games at most, and that's with a lot of doubleheaders added. Probably will wind up shaking down to around 120-ish at this rate.
"Let's play two!" ...a lot.
I see Sunday mentioned a lot for double headers. Why not Saturdays?

I think June 1 is probably realistic (the pandemic will have receded by then; enveloped viruses like COVID-19 do not survive well in direct sunlight and heat), and if MLB were to go with a weighted schedule, you could squeeze ... 108 games in there? Somewhere around that number, I think.
We might not get baseball anytime soon, but we can take comfort in watching Ken Burns' brilliant documentary series once again and for free! Burns himself asked PBS to allow that in lieu of no baseball at this time.
When the fuck is Burns going to get off his ass and make The Eleventh Inning? The Tenth Inning spends far too much time fellating the Red Sox and not exploring the other endemic issues within baseball.
If you think he spent too much time fellating the Sox, then I would have to object to the wet, sloppy rim job he gave the Yankees in The Tenth Inning, to the point where the Phillies' 2008 World Series championship was barely even mentioned; just a tiny pothole on the road to the eternal reign of YEAH JEETS and the Yankees. Fucking barf.
MLB Network is running the May 17th, 1979 Phillies Cubs game that ended up 23-22 Phillies.
Chris Sale's "season" is done. TJ surgery upcoming.
