Dumb question, but suppose there is a runner on first.
If the players have to stay 6 feet away from each other, how are pick off throws going to work? How is the player even allowed to stand on first base and be held?

[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

I hate the rule, but the risk of losing a perfect game because of it is nil. In the new mamby, pamby baseball world, even a guy with a perfect game gets taken out after the 6th so he doesn't have to face guys the third time through the order. Teams would rather use the crappy AAAA reliever who pitches the middle innings instead.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Interesting I found this on MLB.com and hadn't seen it mentioned before, "Players and other team personnel not participating in the game will be sitting in the stands, at least six feet apart."

Also." A ball will be thrown out once it has been touched by multiple players." Umm...that's like every pitch then?

What is the thinking behind starting a runner at second? I know its to shorten the game but why?
