Holy shit, guys. We’re playing baseball. Just cover your eyes, plug your nose, and breathe through your mask and try not to notice the rest of the country falling ill from this raging pandemic because, dammit, we’re playing sports. That’s how we handle these things, right? The Cincinnati Reds are playing their first regular season baseball game in the year 2020 come hell, high water, or 70,000 cases a day. The Detroit Tigers come to Cincinnati in an environment that will unfortunately be familiar to both squads: With no fans in attendance.
The Reds will be sending Sonny Gray to start tonight’s game.
