What a fucking joke. This isn’t a real season

I have no problem with this.  As someone who played baseball into college, two games in a day sucks ass.  This is good for the players. 

They used to (and maybe still do) do this (7-inning double-headers) in Triple-A baseball. So it's been done in pro baseball before. 

Yeah, I'm not going to be able to get into baseball this year. The cancelled games, rules changes and overall feel just make it seem like exhibition games the entire time.

Sums up how I'm feeling too...

Cards-Brewers game postponed for a positive Covid tests. This will keep happening.

Brutal.  They had to give it a shot but hard to see the season lasting much longer if this keeps happening...

Yeah, I don't know though. I think I'd agree with giving it a shot if the plan was better, if everyone agreed on the plan. I think the plan was force-fed from the commissioner's office right? My whole thing from the beginning is when does it actually become serious and/or liable to hang on Manfred's head? When someone dies?

I think unless they're able to bubble them up like like the NBA it's damn near impossible to do this. Too much travel...

Oh yeah definitely.  This plan was never going to work with all the travel involved.  Like Juggler said, the only plans that have a good chance of being successful are the bubble plans from the NBA and NHL.  And the NHL has a much better chance of working since it's in Canada and not in this fucking 3rd world country that we've turned into with this virus.  This all just sucks.

Golf is making it work with a travelling bubble.  Why can't they do that?  I get that there are a lot more people but still.

I am enjoying this. Baseball is baseball and it's fun while it lasts.

I would assume that's it. Way more people involved.

That's the thing - sounds like that's the only answer. So you start there - you play in a bubble. And if you can't do that, then the season should not have been been played.

Wasn't that one of the early plans, to do it in AZ and FL before they (predictably) saw their spikes?

Yeah, I was going to say that Disney resort with all the fields. But I think that's where the NBA is right?

When I saw the schedule I didn't understand the travel. Why couldn't a team go to a City one time? 

Examples:

Each Division plays at each park in a 5 game Series. 

Philly goes to Baltimore and plays all 4 games at their Park and could be the Home team for 2 of the games.

Mets go to Florida(this is before all of their Positive test of course) and play Marlins 5 games and then go to Atlanta and play 5 games and then their done going to that part of the Country. 

Not sure it would all work out as I'm sure there's more into scheduling that I have no clue about, but I still think MLB could've came up with a better schedule concerning the travel then what they did.
 
I do know that playing a team 2 times at your Home Stadium (Mets at Red Sox) and then the next 2 days the Red Sox AT Mets.  Made no sense to me.
