Happy about it, wish it were sooner but it is slightly complicated.  

Looking forward to warm evenings and the MLB ab app for radio.

With such a short season, we could very well have a .400 hitter, along with the biggest, fattest asterisk of all time.

ERA under 1.00?  Not likely, but more possible.  Fielding percentage 1.000?

Seems apropos,  opening day 2020 and we get a rain delay.     Giants at LAD coming up.  Won't be raining in LA.

And we get 2 CGs.  With one each for Scherzer amd Cole That would be good enough for 10th place in the big leagues last year.

First of a lot of blowout wins for LA this year.

I recall a strike shortened season, possibly 1981, where a high school classmate one-year ahead of me was on the cover of Sports Illustrated hitting over .400 in July in minor league baseball. He was a great player. Led the Mustangs to a HS state championship. He stole a lot of bases in the minor leagues, but the Indians brought him up for 41-games his entire MLB career, back when the Indians, were -- the Indians - well after Bob Feller, and long before the new stadium. Times during which the Cleveland Indians were a very bad team.

Actually watching some baseball. The silence is a little oppressive

The games I've watched or listened to have had a good amount of ambient sound.  Its been helpful.

Yeah it's not so much that they need piped in crowd cheers and more they just need piped in crowd noise so it doesn't feel so lonely.
