8 more players and two coaches. That's half the roster.

They gottta cancel the Phillies game too right, no way should the Yankees have to play here after that break out on the Marlins

So safe to assume Brian Price missing this weekend was because some Marlins person gave him COVID?

This could take down college football too. They seemed to be leaning towards announcing a plan for a slightly delayed season later this week, but I don't know how you get in front of a camera and defend that if multiple MLB teams are shut down.

I'm good with ending the season now. Bubble is risky but a bit more practical. Don't really think baseball has a shot to pull this off.

I still don't think it will.


Here's the thing with MLB and all other sports who are trying to force the issue. They're very likely going to put themselves in a horrible dilemma: The positive cases are going to start multiplying decimating teams and their support staffs so the league will have to decide whether to continue to push on in the face of credible claims that they're making matters worse OR stop their seasons (again) and waste all the time, effort, money ands credibility they've invested. IMO they'd all be better off in the long wrong just cancelling any play this year, plan for next year and offer their support to local efforts in their communities to help with the virus and BLM reforms.

You were saying this just 3 weeks ago:

Rockinghorse wrote:From a total of 19 teams, the others had zero. Still three weeks to stay safe (and recover for the sick ones) with full team support. This is gonna work, so will the other pro leagues. It will be a stark example of the power of money, but it will work.



Do you feel differently today?

There's no way he's the only Phil to get it. He probably had the least amount of contact with Marlins out of the roster and coaches

It was a dumb idea to try to travel and play these games at home stadiums and this is the obvious result.

No shit. I said the NFL wouldn't work and questioned their idiotic testing.

Yeah. He had his mask on a lot while on the field. They all knew there was an outbreak with the Marlins and played anwyay.

They should've made it Little League rules where the runner can't lead off the base, that way it would minimize exposure for the first baseman.
