Another big story this morning baseball is back the league and the Players Association of finally come to an agreement with kron fours will tran live out in front of oracle park in the city with more on what it was that they agreed to what you think well. They agreed to pay i mean the fight over the past 3 weeks james is how much do we get each side was back and forth pulling you get this no we want this in the end they decided thats fair lets get to work. Atnt i should call him or her go bark ive been calling att park for more than a decade oracle park will be available to the San Francisco giants but it will not be available to you because even though they will have games this season as a 60 game season for the giants the as and the rest. The Major League Baseball teams. They will not be any fans in attendance. But many people have been clamoring for games anyway because we are missing sports, theres nothing like the drama sports. The giants the as and the rest of the teams. They will head to spring training on july 1st so it will be a shortened spring training you might recall that theyre already in spring training getting ready for a regular season and then covid19 hit so they had to shut it down and then they try to restarted again. But a lot of people came down with covid19 so they had to shut it down a second time this time they will started with precautions, everybody will be tested for covid19 every day they will have spring training in about a week and a half or so and then opening game of the ad, the first game of the season will be i the july 23rd or 24th, this season will be like any other season because we all know, baseball has a 162 games. This is 60 games so it will be a sprint to put it in a different perspective james, every game now will be the equivalent of 2. 7 games. So its almost like the nfl, why every game is urgent you cannot go on a long losing streak the as the giants probably will play a lot more of each other reason being they dont want the teams to travel far away so the giants and the dodgers that will play alive. It will have plenty of divisional games and then the interleague games which we are used to seeing. Well those games will be closer to your region. So the giants might go to Seattle Seattle might come down here as opposed to a Cross Country trip with the yankees or so they want to make sure to get a close handle of big grip on covid19 so to speak so it doesnt spread throughout the players and the personnel, bottom line is youll have to get your Television Set dont come to the ballpark.
