Major League Baseball has submitted a proposal to the MLB Players Association
about potentially holding at least part of the 2020 playoffs inside a
multi-city “bubble” environment, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports
(Twitter link). It isn’t yet known if the entire postseason would be played
at neutral sites, or if the best-of-three first round series would remain in
the home ballparks of the higher-seeded teams.
MLB官方已经向球员工会提出以多城市为主场的季后赛泡泡圈计画，提案中写到
目前应该就是两个方案:
1.整个季后赛都在中立球场举行
2.低顺位种子球队需到高顺位种子主场进行整个系列赛赛事
As initially reported by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal (via Twitter), the
league has been in talks with the union about how to manage and conduct games
at these “controlled sites” in order to limit city-to-city travel and thus
limit the chances of a COVID-19 outbreak in October that would delay the
entire postseason. While details are “nothing close” to being finalized,
as Rosenthal notes, MLB began preparing an operations manual regarding such a
postseason scenario earlier this month. As outlined by ESPN.com’s Emily
Kaplan and Jeff Passan, the baseball’s plan would bear a strong resemblances
to the NHL’s staging of the Stanley Cup playoffs in Toronto and Edmonton.
为了减少城市间的移动，目前MLB提出的泡泡圈方案细节都还未被披露，
但MLB已经未雨绸缪开始规划了，概念会很像NHL季后赛设址在多伦多及埃德蒙顿那样
While the NHL is holding all games at two arenas, however, baseball’s plan
may seem to involve five different stadiums and civic areas. Southern
California (San Diego and the two L.A. ballparks) and Texas (Arlington,
Houston) still seem to be the favored candidates for these sites, as noted in
the Kaplan/Passan piece, with Rosenthal adding that National League’s
postseason teams would play in Texas while the American League teams went to
California. The World Series would be held in Arlington at the Rangers’ new
ballpark.
NHL季后赛设址在两处，不过MLB目前似乎仍将以下五座球场(含道奇、天使、教士
、太空人、游骑兵主场)订为首选。国联季后赛将在德州两座球场举行、美联季后赛将在
南加州三座球场举行。世界大赛地点为德州游骑兵队新的阿灵顿主场
It is quite possible that the framework of this plan would be changed over
the coming weeks, and as talks develop with input from the MLBPA. As of
today, however, we are exactly one month away from the last day of the
regular season. One would think negotiations would need to progress pretty
quickly to get a bubble environment launched by the start of the playoffs on
September 29, though the possibility of the first round being played at home
ballparks does allow some extra flexibility.
当然这个计画是草拟的，随时会改变，球员工会也将于近日加入讨论。
距离季后赛还有一个月的时间，需要赶快把泡泡圈的范围及内容建立起来。
另外由于今年季后赛赛制改变了，各联盟各有8支球队进入季后赛，
首轮由No.1vs.No.8; No.2vs.No.7; No.3vs.No.6; No.4vs.No.5
三战两胜制，低顺位种子需到高顺位种子主场进行所有赛事，
因此季后赛第一轮在不需要频繁移动的状况下给了MLB官方一些缓冲空间
