Hard to imagine the postseason under these conditions. The crowd will be missed, I'm sure. Have to think it would be weird to celebrate a World Series in a quiet stadium.

Lots of championships have been celebrated with very little fans.......it really isnt that hard , plus there are still more people there than im sure there were in minor leagues for a lot of these guys or college. Plus by playoff time there may be some limited capacity of 1000s of fans...its only the the first day.

Yes professional baseball games at the MLB level level have lots of fans, 2020 is a Covid era deal with it

The point is many ballplayers in their lifetime have played in front of little fans and won playoff games.......so stanton will not swing the bat if in the playoffs because no fans...(though could be fans later in the yera)

It just wont be that weird for the players...ever go to high school playoff game or college? ...Plus the players know they are on national TV...its not like they playing the backyard...

It will be interesting is off the field

if you go 20-0....you wont see crazy fans when you are at hotel or airport...

if win world series..will anyone greet you at airport...theres no way for the players to know what the real fan response is.....

I read today that the St. Louis Cardinals have 55 games to play and 44 days to play them-- assuming they are back on the field Saturday. That's more than the old expression "every day of the week and twice on Sundays". It's a doubleheader every four days. Better cap those at 5 innings each--hey at least it would still be an official game.

The Twins-Royals game Friday night at Target Field was rained out, meaning the Twins will make a bit of history on Saturday.

They will play a doubleheader where both games are scheduled to be seven innings. The first will start at 12:35 p.m., and the second will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.

This isn't Major League Baseball. This is exhibition baseball. Entertainment and nothing else.

And people like Huysmans are the real problem with modern America. They don't seem to understand that by helping the less fortunate to better themselves also helps them and America in the long term.
