Mandatory masks for everyone in the game.
Mandatory covid tests every other day.
Players not allowed in indoor bars or restaurants.
This is pretty insane.
Why is it insane? You do realize we're still living in a global pandemic that is killing thousands of Americans a day right?
Among other things, wear a mask and we can have baseball.... I don't I'd we stand why after an entire year, we still have people like you who just don't get it. The other option is NOT having baseball at all. Why are masks so scary for you?
Football got through a season without missing a game in much closer quarters than that of a baseball game and had less restrictive rules, right?
Football did miss games.
And their schedule is 90% shorter.
One of the biggest issues MLB has to face is scheduling. 150+ games for each team flying across the country not only has to be cost effective, but also can't offer teams significant advantages when it comes to rest/jet-lag. A team misses a game in the NFL? Ok we'll skip this week and make it up on the back end if needed.
A team misses a series in the MLB? 1-2 you can handle shifting, but if you get 5-6 teams having series get postponed and the schedule becomes a disaster for both the players and the fans.
