    According to Trevor Plouffe’s Twitter

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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..

    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.. ..

    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
