With no fans in the stands, the deafening silence permits players to hear, well, everything.
“I think this is going to be part of this season,’’ Brewer manager Craig Counsell says. “I mean, the dugouts can hear each other and umpires can hear everything. There’s talking that goes on in a game you never hear with all of the fans here.
There was Cubs shortstop Javy Baez glaring at Brewers starter Corbin Burnes in the first inning when he was hit by a pitch in the left arm. And for the next five minutes Counsell huddled with crew chief Jeff Nelson and the umpire crew, knowing they are going to be in for a rough ride, too, hearing every single complaint.
There were four hit-by-pitches, with Narvaez being hit twice, and Contreras and Baez hit, drawing stares and angry words each time that were heard by everyone.“I don’t know if Major League Baseball saw it coming,’’ Cubs manager David Ross said, “but I think if you’re in the dugout in this environment you’re going to expect some of that. When you hear everything that everybody says, that’s going to spark some intensity.
The new safety and health protocols specifically reads: “Fighting and instigating fights are strictly prohibited. Players must not make physical contact with others for any reason unless a normal and permissible part of game action. Violations of these rules will result in severe discipline.’’ So, you get into a brawl, you’re gambling away the season. You’re talking at least a 10-game suspension. Maybe even 15. And in a short season like this, it’s like sitting out a month in a normal year.
