MLB doubleheader games might not go 18 innings.

No one is playing for a championship this year. This is more like a Hunger Games combined with Survivor. I would want to play 60 games in 66 days and get out. I wouldn’t even try to make the playoffs this year. Forget doubleheaders, you have to crawl before you walk, just go from city to city without spreading the virus/circus should be the goal. One game per day and be through with it. Its no fans anyway, so why play 2 in an empty stadium.

you are right.

sadly they have calendar constraints cause they couldn't get things settled with tons of wasted time negotiating.

Ill take 1 good 9 inning game over 2-7 innings games any day. This is sure starting to look like class A minor league baseball.

Of course there are calendar constraints, but at the rate its going it will be Class A minor baseball by the time the World Series gets here. Who will be on the rosters then??
