Just have people sign a waiver upon purchasing the tix.

Games would be well fucking attended.

How would that work for secondary ticket sales?

good question.

Just post a legal notice at each entry:  "MLB is not responsible for any exposure to communicable diseases you , just like we haven't been for the past 150 years."

That should totally cover gross negligence.

Just like someone getting hit by a ball.  There is zero expectation of a sterile environment, save for the fact it is a money driven environment...and well, lawyers.

 

Absolute safety is the new bar...  I'd attend, either way if available.

 

Now back to baseball.

Yeah, pretty sure they could write it off as assumed risk, same as a foul ball.  You come into any crowd right now and get sick, you're not gonna be able to sue the organizers of the crowd.

I predict an early season face mask night sponsored by Memorial Hermann.

None of you self-annointed geniuses have a solution, either...  LOLz.

Attorney slorch is not the fucking solution. That is clear.

[Iceman 2978]

Baseball is the answer, for sure.

I was player #61, just a FYI 

[tx 3 putt 78671]

Those who do not make the Astros’ 30-man opening day roster will continue training at the University of Houston’s baseball facility — dubbed the team’s “alternate site” for the 2020 season.

They should do free beer night again.  @Mez2, @tx 3 putt, @Ldogg53, @Scraps, @ERhine what's the worst that could happen...

Pitcher Josh James did not report to Houston on Wednesday with what general manager James Click described as "personal reasons not related to COVID.”

James was the only member of the Astros’ 56-man player pool who was not expected to report by Wednesday’s deadline. Click said the team expects James “to be here soon.”

Glad we have him locked up for the next 5 years. I guess the Boras hire is primarily to ramp up his endorsements

Man, I got tanked at 2 of those last year. Would love if they brought back Thirsty Thursdays for 2021, but I doubt they're gonna pass up any additional revenue in the near future. Although, I would be curious to see the economics on discount beers if they actually increase sales enough to offset the price reduction.

Do it.

 

[tx 3 putt 78671]

if you follow collin mchugh on instagram, im hoping the astros have a similar set up to the red sox :

suites were turned into private locker rooms, the concourse is now batting cages and work out areas - spaced out, portable shower units, the training room is open air in the outfield seats. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

So Yordan has Coronavirus?

 

[tx 3 putt 78671]

that sure sounds like 14 day isolation

I get the hate but to act like Astros were/are only mlb to use cameras is absolutely the dumbest.

Sounds like Fiers has coronavirus, so I guess it can infect rats.

Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports that the Astros have also canceled their scheduled workout on Monday due to COVID testing delays.

The Astros haven't gotten their results back from Friday's tests and understandably don't feel safe conducting a workout. The Nationals, who canceled their workout Monday, are dealing with a similar situation. The Fourth of July holiday wasn't exactly unforeseen, so it's hard to use it as an excuse for anything. Hiccups are bound to happen with such a complex situation, but if MLB can't get the testing protocol right, we could justifiably see more players begin to opt out of playing this year.

this season gonna be weird.

Interesting that most home and away games against West Coast teams start at 8:10 CT

Edited July 6, 2020 by TonyTexas

[Scraps 13798]

I made the comment weeks ago that all west coast night games involving us should start at 8:10 since fans aren't going anyway. Glad the listened to me.
