76-90 and maybe it's just the general feeling of the state of the world infecting my outlook, but that feels optimistic right now. Owners are being complete clowns and don't seem to care about driving the car right off the cliff. I'm sure at some point cooler heads will prevail but I think there's going to need to be some actual pain to get ownership to move, and that'll take some actual season being taken away, and then it's just a matter of how quickly a deal can get done and operations can be fired back up.

In other shortened seasons, how long has it taken to get players and teams ready to go? Any tea leaves to be read on how quickly we can go from "agreement" to "games?"

I voted 1-25. I would've voted 1 if the choice was available.

In a post-sanity world, the idea of turning Opening Day into an elimination game fits perfectly.

About a week ago I voted zero. A few days ago I was regretting that and thinking they'd get in 130-150. Now I'm confident at zero.
