What does a 2021 MLB season look like?
I think 25% capacity is likely and 50% is possible. However, I do think that anything more than 50% is highly improbable. Indoor sports like the NBA and NHL are going to have a more difficult time playing with fans. Btw I had no idea that Manfred had the authority to mandate a season when I made that comment(no baseball until 2023) I thought any season with reduced pay for the players had to be collectively bargained. Given they were nowhere near close to a deal, I think it wasn't crazy under that assumption.

Nothing is likely to get any better by then, it can only get worse. A vaccine is unlikely.

What does a 2021 MLB season look like?
I thought I'd start to discuss this... 1. It seems like because most MLB stadiums are outdoors, there is a good chance that there will be some fans in the stands. I think they might be able to operate at 25% capacity. 2. With 25% of gate revenue, how many games will the owners be willing to play? I think chances are high for another shortened season. Either 80 or 100 games is my guess. 3. Given how contentious the last negotiation was between the MLB/MLBPA, can they even agree to have a season, or will they go directly to CBA negotiations? That's all I have for now.

How in the hell did this team win 34 games? They suck. (Half joking)

Everyone knows I hated the Trubisky pick, but here it goes: Mitch is an average QB who looks worse than he actually is because of the poor fit with Nagy's offense. He clearly has talent, but Nagy is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Quite frankly he's Jared Goff without the scheme fit.

The Bears are underdogs to the 0-2 Falcons next week.

There are probably more impressive 0-2 teams than the Bears.

Sox @ Reds GT 9/19/20
He was frustrating because he was always injured. Dude was good before injuries took their toll.

Sox @ Reds GT 9/19/20
If Colome is unavailable I'd imagine Crochet.

No the question is "Where's our Liriano?" The greatest thread in SoxTalk history.

Acuna, Soto, Tatis have come up and just raked. Where's our guy like that?

Sox @ Reds GT 9/19/20
He typically sits 93-95

I'm talking about the guys in this rebuild specifically. Moncada, Eloy, Giolito, Lopez, Cease and now Robert have all gone through inconsistent rookie seasons where they did not look like MLB players for 4-8 weeks at a time. Hitters haven't had a chance to adjust to Dunning yet.

Of course he does but he carried the bat halfway to 1B and chucked it toward the dugout.
