Using the MLB season as a barometer, things are not looking good right now.

Using the MLB season as a barometer, things are not looking good right now. IDK. Watching Padres right now and there are no plans to stop the season. And basketball still has 3-4 months to evolve. With fewer students on campus it may be even better. |

With fewer students on campus it may be even better. Those plans could change quickly. Manfred has already said the season could be shut down as early as Monday. This is a very important weekend for MLB. In the meantime, players are still high-fiving and such in their dugouts--one of the many things they were told not to do. |

Those plans could change quickly. Manfred has already said the season could be shut down as early as Monday. This is a very important weekend for MLB. In the meantime, players are still high-fiving and such in their dugouts--one of the many things they were told not to do. I'm truly baffled by MLB's approach. It's lackadaisical at best. I've watched a few innings of about three Padres games, and what I'm seeing is stunning, frankly. It's as if these guys don't really give a sh*t that they're playing in the middle of a global pandemic. I see guys spitting. I see them forearm bashing. I see five guys on the pitchers mound, no one wearing a mask, conferring about a foot apart. I see 20 guys crowded into a dugout, maybe three of them masked. I see guys racing back and forth through the dugout, unmasked, forearm bashing their teammates following a key hit, home run or RBI. And that's just during the game. Lord knows what goes on during practice, or especially during off hours. And we're shocked -- shocked -- that we've already had entire rosters decimated from the field of play due to COVID only days into the season. This is completely unsustainable. What does the league do after a dozen or more teams suffer the same fate as the Marlins? Fold the season, that's what. As for college hoops, their challenges will be even more difficult than MLB. There are some 300+ college hoops teams eligible for the NCAA Championship. Each team has a traveling party -- players, coaches, staff, administrators, announcers -- of about 30 people. That's nearly 10,000 folks located in every nook and cranny of the U.S. to keep tabs on and whom everyone has to assume is sticking to protocol (and given that most of the group of 10,000 are kids in their teens and early 20s, that's assuming a lot. As I've said since March, the odds of a college hoops season getting off the ground this season is zilch. And as for football -- both college and pros -- fuggetaboutit. |

Unfortunately and painfully, I do believe you are correct. The only hope is a vaccine and I don’t see that happening unless they are rushed through clinical trials and that seems a bit scary without proper testing. |
