Opening Day in other places, too, including Buffalo which gets to be a Major League city here in 2020. Probably the best idea considering that you can probably see the respective highest points Buffalo and Toronto from each other on a clear enough day.

Braves had to leave both their regular catchers (old friend Travis D'Arnaud and Tyler Flowers) behind in Atlanta for the trip to NY against the Mets. COVID symptoms. Alex Jackson starting and William Contreras backing up for now. Jackson is a decent prospect who was in AAA last year. Contreras on the other hand is NOT Willson Contreras and was in High A last year.

William is Willson's brother, though.

Watcing the Mets broadcast of their game with the Braves. They talked about the cardboard cutouts that they team sold. They zoomed in on two, Chipper Jones and his son Shea!

Buffalo should be able to equal other major cities in attendance this season.

Losing players to COVID and COVID symptoms is going to factor into this season. Maybe the teams that can keep most players on the field will end up doing better than predicted.
