I don't understand it actually. What is the point? Shortening the game? The players will have been together for 3 plus hours at that point

It's placebo nonsense

It’s also to minimize the wear and tear on pitchers. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:34 5
- Yeah, the lack of minor leaguers ready to play is another issue. But they can expand the rosters to say 30. -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:35 4
  - It starts at 30 and declines to 26 by year end iirc. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:38 3
    - Why do they want it to decline? I feel like they should leave at 30 for the whole "season" -- (edited) - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:40 2
      - Because major leaguers get 550k a year...and minor leaguers don’t. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:43 1

Yes, they're reasoning is to shorten the game and it's not a virus safety thing. They thinking is that they'll have to play a lot of games in - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:34 4
- After decades of watching Orioles fail to score with men on 2nd and 3rd, no outs...let’s not get crazy here. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:35 3
  - You were watching the Orioles though... - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:37
  - I was just going to say...sounds like he's never watched a Yankees game before -- nm - JackDawson Jun 25, 06:36 1
    - All jokes aside, it's an easy run to score. It may not happen 80% of the time but I think it scores 40% which is still high. - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:39
