They already didn't allow a third team to set up shop. I imagine it's being discussed at DOH right now.

Hardly anyone wears masks, or they have them on/off during the game. All that chirping the Marlins were doing around home plate, too. I can't help but wonder if there was some complacency which could easily lead to 1-2 cases becoming dozens.

You put in all these protocols and the only thing standing in your way from getting sick is the Marlins holding a team meeting to play when they clearly have an outbreak. This stuff only works if people take it seriously (and even then there's hardly any guarantee) and there's clearly no teeth whatsoever to anything MLB has put into place.

If that’s what it takes to not play in a bubble then they need to bubble. It’s not like the nba guys are wearing masks during practices or games.

If you're going to wear a mask, you wear the mask. If you wear it 85% of the time, then why bother? Take it down when you're alone in the outfield sure. Taking it down to talk face to face or in a crowded dugout is just stupid.
