It will do so, though, with a strong plan to manage the massive coronavirus threat from all angles and complete this most unorthodox campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The plan probably won\u2019t work; COVID-19 presents such a massive obstacle and human beings are fallible, The Post has learned. Yet it\u2019ll be intellectually stimulating to see them try. Here are 14 codicils to normal baseball life that intrigue the most:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_extra-innings_rule\"><\/span>1. The extra-innings rule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yup, a runner on second to start each half-inning in the 10th frame and beyond. The runner is the batter who registered the last full at-bat in the previous inning (or his defensive replacement). For scoring geeks: That runner will be considered to have reached on an error. Yet the defensive team will not be charged with an error. This won\u2019t be used in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Suspended_games\"><\/span>2. Suspended games<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Maybe you\u2019ve attended a contest that went, say, three innings, then got wiped out thanks to a downpour and had to start from scratch down the road. Now there\u2019ll be a pivot to the process that already has been in place for the postseason: If a game gets halted by weather before it becomes official (by completing five innings), it will be suspended and resume at the point of the delay.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Roster_numbers\"><\/span>3. Roster numbers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Teams can carry 30 players on Opening Day, then pare it down to 28 on the 15th day of the season and finally 26 on the 29th day. No expanded rosters in September.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Taxi_squads\"><\/span>4. Taxi squads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To limit players\u2019 individual <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>, teams can carry a three-player taxi squad with them, including one catcher, whenever they go on the road. Upon the return home, those players will rejoin their fellow taxi squad members \u2014 those who are part of the designated 60-member \u201cClub Player Pool\u201d who aren\u2019t on the major-league roster \u2014 at the teams\u2019 alternate sites (most likely Brooklyn for the Mets and Scranton for the Yankees).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Injured_lists\"><\/span>5. Injured lists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A COVID injured list will exist for players who so much as exhibit symptoms of the disease; they need not test positive. This list will not have a set length. In more conventional alterations, the 60-day IL is now only 45 days; otherwise, a player starting on the 60-day list would have only about a week of activity. Pitchers\u2019 period of inactivity had been set to switch from 10 days to 15 this year. Now it\u2019s back to 10.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Postseason_eligibility\"><\/span>6. Postseason eligibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Players typically must join an organization by Aug. 31 in order to be eligible for playoff action. Now that\u2019s Sept. 15; Aug. 31 is the new trade deadline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Serious_social_distancing\"><\/span>7. Serious social distancing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If a player or manager leaves his position to come within six feet of an umpire or opposing manager or player for the purpose of arguing, he subjects himself to im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te ejection as well as a fine or suspension.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_The_wet_rag\"><\/span>8. The wet rag<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since they can\u2019t lick their fingers to better grip the ball, pitchers can carry a \u201csmall wet rag\u201d in their back pocket. Only water is allowed on the rag, and umpires can check the rag for non-water-like substances at any point.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_A_win_for_the_gum_lobby\"><\/span>9. A win for the gum lobby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The prohibition of spitting at ballparks includes (but is not limited to) saliva, sunflower seeds, peanut shells and tobacco) Chewing gum, however, is permitted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15884829\"><img alt=\"MLB coronavirus manual 2020 season\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Yankees infielder\/outfielder Miguel Andujar.<\/span><span>Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Consider_not_leaning_on_me\"><\/span>10. Consider not leaning on me<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t you love watching players and managers lean on the dugout railing during a big moment? That is now discouraged, although permissible. The key will be to use a clean towel as a barrier, which seems like a pretty good idea whether we\u2019re battling a pandemic or not.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_No_loitering\"><\/span>11. No loitering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Players can arrive at the ballpark no earlier than five hours before first pitch and must depart within 90 minutes of the last out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Starting_small\"><\/span>12. Starting small<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Spring training will roll out in three phases, each phase allowing personnel to convene in larger groups. During Phase One, groups will feature five members or fewer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Concessions_to_normalcy\"><\/span>13. Concessions to normalcy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>MLB did bend on a few of its original notions, released on May 15. The scoreboard can display out-of-town scores and limited replay after all, and team members can use hydrotherapy and cryotherapy for pre- and post-game treatment. Teams are urged to acquire additional units to limit interaction and minimize wait time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Limited_coverage\"><\/span>14. Limited coverage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A maximum of 35 media members will be permitted at all regular-season games. The members will be restricted to the press box, will conduct all interviews by Zoom or phone and must leave the premises an hour after the final interview is completed. We\u2019ll be writing quickly.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/06\/24\/mlb-coronavirus-manual-extra-innings-wet-rags-and-gum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Sports <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Extra innings, wet rags and gum: Revelations from MLB coronavirus manual&#8221; If only Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association had tackled their financial negotiations with the same level-headedness and diligence that they exhibited in constructing their Operations Manual, the game would be in far better shape.
