When did this happen?
MLB has been done since the batters started stepping out of the box after every pitch to adjust their helmet, pull on their gloves, take a few practice swings, wave at their parents in the stands, adjust their pants, hold their hand up to the ump, put one foot back in the box and then wiggle it until it fully plants in the ground then do the same with the other foot, spit, and then drop their hand signaling they're ready for the next pitch only to repeat the whole ordeal 5 seconds after taking a pitchBaseball is done
I give Baseball three more weeks before they shutdown unlike the NBA they didn’t have a plan in trying to minimize players getting infected.It didn't really. Commissioner made a few comments to get the player's attention after an outbreak with the Marlins and what they were afraid was a problem with the Cardinals. Everything stabilized by the weekend.

Seriously? They definitely have a plan. The difference is that they aren't in a bubble and they're depending on players to stay within protocols which adds layers the NBA doesn't have to deal with. There's a big difference between managing a limited number of teams through a playoff scenario vs MLB trying to play a whole season out over 3 months.I give Baseball three more weeks before they shutdown unlike the NBA they didn’t have a plan in trying to minimize players getting infected.
Feel like that will be a problem once they actually test them. How often are they going to have to wipe the condensation off them?
It’s going to take a lot more than a buffet sneeze guard to prevent the spread. I’d say a second step should be these...

You omitted stretching the hammys and repositioning the boys......MLB has been done since the batters started stepping out of the box after every pitch to adjust their helmet, pull on their gloves, take a few practice swings, wave at their parents in the stands, adjust their pants, hold their hand up to the ump, put one foot back in the box and then wiggle it until it fully plants in the ground then do the same with the other foot, spit, and then drop their hand signaling they're ready for the next pitch only to repeat the whole ordeal 5 seconds after taking a pitch
I said this a month ago so I am taking credit.
Your welcome.
I agree. I just bought a motorcycle helmet with this technology. It would fog up as soon as you closed the face shield. After I installed the Pinlock, no more fogging. This is a fantastic idea. @Zues1, you've saved the 2020 football season.Add a pinlock shield like motorcycle helmets use. You're welcome.
When scuba-diving, you spit inside your mask to keep it from fogging up.LSU players 'can't breathe' in full-face helmet shields
Scroll down to the Video that shows fogged-up shield and the comment an LSU player makes about it...

Baseball does have a lot of things to clean up. I was discussing sports (or lack of) this morning with my doctor and we both agreed this whole thing has shown us we can make it fine without sports 24/7 (which I used to love). The only professional sports I have followed, watched, and attended in the past at all is MLB and PGA. Seriously... and that's it. And now the desire for those are wanly big time. Now the college games are becoming somewhat distant and unimportant. The good doctor even suggested many had made sports a modern day idol (actually there's no question about that). So splash shields or not I've realized its not that big of a deal to me anymore anyways.
