Game 163 in 2020

Of course there won’t be a game 163 for any team this season even under the best case scenario... ...BUT with such a short season it wouldn’t be hard to imagine several teams tied at the end of 60 games which would require game 61, and perhaps even game(s) 62+ My question goes to those who hate the ...

Re: OFFICIAL NFBC STATEMENT ON 60-GAME SEASON

Great decisions guys.

Hopefully there isn’t a rash of players opting out of play for 2020 (Trout?) because that would surely give reason for some to shout “unfair!” regarding the already drafted leagues.

Looking forward to recycling refunded fees into new entries! :)

Re: OFFICIAL NFBC STATEMENT ABOUT START OF SEASON

Hopefully everything will work out for the best but after listening all day to MLBNetworkRadio it really sounds like there’s the feeling from several commentators that a significant number of players will want to opt out of the 2020 season. Mike Trout tops the list because he’s likely to take an ext...

COZ,

I assume all Treasury debt will be cancelled, gold confiscated and the new global digital currency gets dropped into place overnight as the cabal is shut down?

Will the NFBC automatically convert account balances to the new currency?
Plan on NFBC to use BatCoin ;)

60 games in 61 days 😳
Manfred already said they can’t do double headers because of health concerns.
It should be double headers EVERY day and a 112 game season. Between the 26-man roster and the 24-man taxi squad there’s plenty of talent to go around.

Except for the O’s

Even though I’m hoping we will play out our 2020 fantasy season, it’s hard to keep up hope because even if the decision was announced today there will be a 65 game MLB schedule, what happens when the MLB has to suspend the season after one or more teams are in a 2-week quarantine when a significant ...

Restaurants are easily filling at 25-50% capacity, so why can't MLB ballparks have 5,000-10,000 per game?
So, the Tampa Rays would be business as usual? :lol:
If they can make money with a 25% full stadium then every team should as well.

What if... About 15% of players including many stars, decide not to play this year. Is it fair to have the DCs (and the other drafts) play given that fact? And “what if” the MLBPA rejects the final offer from the league and MLB decides to play a on their terms a season with minor leaguers? We can “...

Devil’s advocate here... When MLB decides on the number of games in the 2020 season and NFBC bases the Minimum Innings Pitched threshold for their games, can we be confident that number is set in stone? For example the numbers might be 82 game season and 500 IP. If there’s a second wave of COVID, an...

Hi guys. I opened this thread and searched “Cutline FAAB” but got no results so I’m hoping that means my questions aren’t already addressed. With the season on hold I’m assuming there will not be a FAAB run on April 7 as per the rules. If the season is shortened significantly, will there still be tw...

Re: Shohei Ohtani

I realize nothing can be changed about the way we're handling Shohei Ohtani this year since drafts have already happened, but I think the current option of designating him as a pitcher or a hitter each week is less than optimal for this unique talent. Certainly, if he were projected for 600 at bats...

Re: Rules for 2020

No, because any game 162s required to be played after the regular season ends on Sunday are SCHEDULED games that had to be played. If a Sunday game 162 is postponed to Monday and is required to be played, that game should count. Sometimes that game 162 isn’t the game Sunday at the end of the season...
