**Emily_Haines** · 05-04-20, 06:50 PM

i'm sure a washed up player not even in the league has the inside scoop

**TheMetsSuck** · 05-04-20, 06:56 PM

Lol @ all teams will be playing in their own stadiums. No chance dodgers or Yankees are playing at home July 1

**lonegambler23** · 05-04-20, 07:12 PM

july 1st seems like a year away. stackin til then, some major bombers coming

**jjgold** · 05-04-20, 07:13 PM

**mpaschal34** · 05-04-20, 08:08 PM

**slayer14** · 05-04-20, 08:16 PM

Why spring training so long

**pologq** · 05-04-20, 08:18 PM

**Emily_Haines** · 05-04-20, 08:19 PM

At least something to gamble on

**clockwise1965** · 05-04-20, 10:43 PM

Great news. Hope it happens.

I wonder if MLB’s growing confidence has anything to do with their 10,000+ person antibody study from a few ago. It sounds like those findings should be out any day now. I’m guessing they found a lot of people antibodies.

Looks like he was right... Proposal this week followed by players union vote.. Story now out

**Roscoe_Word** · 05-07-20, 05:02 AM

July seems like 20 miles to go for a marathoner......but great news nonetheless.

Thanks for the info!

**jjgold** · 05-07-20, 05:59 AM

Watch players knock it down

**d2bets** · 05-10-20, 05:21 PM

Less than 1% of almost 6,000 antibody tests of MLB were positive. Most were expecting a lot more.

Study shows low rate of virus antibodies in MLB

MLB employees tested positive for coronavirus antibodies in a study run by Stanford University at a rate much lower than other studies done in California.

Nope. Less than 1%. That really is surprising. I wasn't expecting the 20% some suggested, but figured at least 5%.

In other words, we're still in the 1st inning of this pandemic.

Want some good baseball news??

I just heard from multiple sources that on June 10th, Spring Training 2 will start. July 1st will be Opening Day and all teams will be playing at their home ballparks.

If all teams are playing at their home parks, then who are they playing against??

basically the 8th inning by now.

**Brock Landers** · 05-10-20, 06:20 PM

No way they can play in Toronto

Probably not NY either

**jjgold** · 05-10-20, 06:48 PM

It looks like no baseball now

**MinnesotaFats** · 05-10-20, 07:03 PM

Guys this ain't happening without the union.

I can't see union let alone mlb cities approving.

**jjgold** · 05-10-20, 09:37 PM

That is any sport

MLB should start up.. Talk about social distancing on the field.. Maybe first baseman can wear a mask and spread em out in the dug outs and that should do it..

..

All you have to do is test em all right before every game.. Negatives can play, positives sent home.. It's just that easy in any sport even the NBA..

**jjgold** · 05-10-20, 10:05 PM

We’re gonna have to pick up new hobbies this summer like fishing and crabbing I’m gonna look into it maybe do it professionally

**Hot Jerry** · 05-10-20, 10:14 PM

Hope it will come to pass !!

Fishing is fun. I always liked it if I didn't get sea sick when going out on a boat in the rough oceans..

Not a bad idea JJ as long as you don't catch a fish with Mercury that is glowing off the shores and beaches in the places where we live in JJ..

Fillet, cook and eat that crap and Corona will look like a walk in the park in comparison..

**thetrinity** · 05-10-20, 10:22 PM

This wasn’t going to happen. Mlb is the toughest of the 4 biggest to get going

**Art Vandelay** · 05-10-20, 10:23 PM

No way there are any fans, but I'll take it. It was great just to watch UFC last night!

Good Point Ronald..

Still it can get personal and in your face on the bases.. One good brain fart, cough or sneeze and you are OUT and got CORONA

**stake1** · 05-11-20, 09:15 AM

Tomorrow the plan comes out. I think spring training resumes at home parks end of this month or early June. Teams will play intrasquad games to get revved up
