Was highly unlikely anyways, but "Opening Day" for this season not going to happen. If there's fans at games, the first game back won't be the "re-scheduled" OD.
Yeah I don't think that was ever a realistic option
Yep. What's the status on refunds? It's already June 18th and we're one month away from the original All Star break.Proposition Joe said:

If we get a 20% bump for letting our money ride, I'll be a happy man. Even if it's Captain Cash - that'd be several hundred dollars for me.
We should be rolling out a plan in the next week or two. There will be options for refundsChipotlemonger said:Yep. What's the status on refunds? It's already June 18th and we're one month away from the original All Star break.Proposition Joe said:

It'll be a 5% bonus if you leave your money as a credit. That will be good to use towards food, merch, and incremental tickets.

Dang. Rockies offered 10% credit to roll forward months ago.
Bills to pay
5% is a joke.
I'd wager if that's all they are offering then there is going to be some stipulation or hoop to jump through in order to get the refund.
With that small a bonus, only a fool would let the Rangers hold onto their money with the uncertainty around not just all sports but doubly-so with baseball and their labor issues.
If something happens and the 2021 season is impacted, do you really want to be dealing with trying to get your funds back from an organization that went radio silent for 3 months?

Yep. Rhetorically, I'd tell them to pound sound and I'll take the money now please. Maybe I'll spend it next year, but if I keep getting yanked around, I won't be spending it this year nor next year.
I know it's not your policy or your decision but 5% is pretty lackluster. Especially if you factor in how long the rangers have held on to people's money in the middle of a pandemic.AccidentProne said:wbt5845 said:

It's terrible because you never really know who could be hurting. Everyone has seen the luxury cars in lines at food banks.

People are clearly bored with no sports to rely on.

Only two teams potentially allowing fans? Lol . Disaster waiting to happen.

I dunno...wouldn't it kind of be the Most Rangers Thing Ever if they managed to create a home field advantage that, because the season won't be long enough for their annual August collapse, magically propelled the team to a World Series title that literally no one outside of Arlington would ever acknowledge, let alone respect?
(And to keep this thread on topic, Odor would naturally be the WS MVP in this scenario, of course)

Hey the Rockets have their asterisk I would be ok with an asterisk WS title.
You do not have a soul. You are a soul that has a body.
We sing Hallelujah! The Lamb has overcome!

Meh, as long as the asterisk isn't from trashcans.
I mean we could have a solid top 3 SPs in a short playoff series...
So basically when we win the World Series this year we will know what it feels like to be the Astros and have no one think your title is legit! Ok cool I'll allow it
First time in the hangar since it's been finished. Was impressed how nice it is, but I'll never experience most of amenities because I'm not a rich. Still don't like the plastic grass, but it felt alright.
Calling it now: 48-12
So many 9pm games. Blech. But baseball is baseball so i'll take it
Couldn't have posted a better picture?
Amazingly, it was the only one I took!
Hopefully they hurry the heck up and release the schedule so we can see our way to the 2020 Asterisks World Series! 2 Texas teams with Asteriks by their championships HELL YEAH!
Hopefully I'm wrong, but with the massive surge in COVID cases in Texas I'm growing less confident there will be fans in the stands
There were about 5,500 new cases today. There's no way there can realistically be 20,000 people in that stadium a month from now

New cases because we are testing way more people
Less deaths and less COVID hospital...we are seeing more hospital in general because no one has been going

You either accept COVID as part of society, or the entire world economy will be in utter ruin. The new cases aren't going away anytime soon. Nothing will ever fully reopen, and we'll never have a full baseball, football, or basketball season until it's accepted as part of life for the time being.

Just call them protestors and we are good cuz you can't catch it if you're a protestor
Let's talk baseball. I'm hoping to see Kershaw take the new mound in Arlington this year, just in the wrong uniform.
A problem I see, is our society loves to sue people for our own mistakes. So if they let fans attend, and people get sick, they will try to blame the organization for it.ehrmantraut said:AccidentProne said:
