Hard to do that when you are playing almost every day. Toronto and Ontario gave the thumbs up but Ottawa said no. NHL teams will be in a "bubble." 12 in Toronto, 12 in Edmonton. Stay till you're done. Edited July 25, 2020 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay till you're done. Yup, the Federal government didn't feel comfortable allowing the travel back and forth even with the teams staying in their team bubbles. With Hockey they allowed it because all the teams would play in only one of 2 bubbles staying in the same city playing in the same arena. With hockey in Toronto, I even heard something about having tunnels/covered walking paths from the hotel to the rink. I think baseball could have worked with Toronto because they have the hotel attached to the stadium that the teams would be staying/living out of removing alot of the potential to transfer to people outside of the teams.

They did it in the minors for (I think) two seasons and the batting team won 73% of the time. That is ***** stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over on Scott's Sabres board my suggestion was that whoever owns that parking garage overlooking the baseball field needs to remove the curtains obscuring the views of the field & make a killing. Pettibones should be able to make a killing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's the question will the city prevent people from watching, socially distanced or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second player in the game to go down for the jays as their CFer Grichuck hurt himself going for a ball hit to centre. Both players left not looking too bad, but sometimes those are the worst and they end up being out a long time. I think this is going to happen more this year because of the shortened training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum does carry 2 or 3 Canadian channels, but I’ve never seen a game on one. It would be bad even if they did, as Spectrum doesn’t carry the HD feed for them.
