Good luck with that, there probably won't even be a vaccine. don't know why people think there will be soon, it's either now or never with a lot of things. it was funny as hell when American thought April 9 MLB was delayed too then people who thought it was 'seasonal' and that it would 'burn out' come June. and by July life would be normal again. yet places like India are HOT every day and getting worse. things a staying like this for a long time. things will not get any better or worse before March 2021. so it could be the death of sport if we are gonna keep letting Covid control out lives instead of controlling it.

down here in Australia we along with new Zealand have been the only countries to the control the damm thing in a REAL way and our NRL comp has been able to go ahead since May 28 without issues. only outbreak lately is in 1 state. but thats only 40 cases a day nothing compared to the rest of the world that are getting.

Bring MLB to Australia we will run a safe comp in 2021

you know it is a joke when the dodgers are projected to win 38 games... yes 38 games and that is the MOST,, that means you can make the playoffs by winning about 33 games this year.. bad teams who might have a good month it favors. it makes it to wide open. dodgers and Yankees are 2 teams that are disadvantaged here. the Rays are a team that will love this and a perfect case in point if they win a world series on 60 games they would hold a astricks.

Don't forget though that the DH rule favors teams like the Yankees now in a world series they can stack up more power in NL home games.

NHL and NBA are the only sports leagues who have a good argument to get started again. MLBs opening day is still almost a month away. Who knows where we are in a week let alone a month in terms of Covid. Stupid decision on MLBs part and good on the players who have backed out on playing this season.

We are in the middle here in Australia of Winter and only one state is having a bit of spike in cases. and that's about 70 a day the last few days.. I have to laugh at the comments on here in March and social media from America who thought that it was seasonal and it would just die come June and July in their summer time. I never understood why people thought this when India it is 40 degrees C everyday there. and they are having major issues.

Things and life are just gonna keep getting pushed back, we might not even get a vaccine. as far as sports go it is either now or never. this time next year we could be no different to where we are now around the world.

I'll just be happy to stop hearing "... to start the season... they come in ... in a real funk..."

You'd think Seattle Studios would have patched that nonsense by now.
