Florida Marlin season suspended mid covid -19 one team down how many will have to go down before the MLB call it quits.

 

David Price criticized the MLB for not taking players health seriously in consideration and putting them at risk by allow travel and not isolating. He said the measures put in place by the MLB wasn't enough to ensure everyone safe health so that's why he chose to sit out the season. I have to say right now it look like Price is right this is going to get ugly real quick.

Seriously.

 

I understand the occasional mistake. But keep the politics on the political thread. It’s getting obvious that you respect nobody’s wishes that way...

HOLY CRAP! MY BAD, & I am truly sorry!!

 

That last part with Hitler and Stalin....

 

i thought I added that to a post on anything goes!

 

I swear to god!!!! I hope you can see that it was a total nonsequitur to the rest of that post. It totally went along with an ANTIFA post on the "Anything Goes" thread.

 

s***! Honest to God! I am truly sorry for this! I was dead serious about respecting what Thunder said on keeping the politics out of this thread.

 

My sincerest apologies! Especially to Thunder, but to all.

 

I added those last to lines to a post to Moon kate last night.

When I checked it, I was like, "where the f*** did that go?" I thought I must have accidentally deleted it, so I said WTF & went to sleep.

Nah just suspended till they find enough players somewhere to field a team. What a joke force to play with sub-par players off waivers etc. maybe they should try the MLB pension club to see if some oldtimer would interested in playing a few games.

They could pick up people from the street and win more games than their front line roster.

I'll suit up. I was the JBJ of my HS team. Streaky at the plate, but my defense kept me in the lineup (sort of)

I hear they’re going to use a system like the one for jury duty. Basically you get a letter in the mail, read it, and think “Oh s***. I’m pitching for the Marlins tomorrow night. I need to find a way to get out of this.”

I'd rather pitch for the Marlins than do jury duty. Much better benefits. After I pitched an inning I would go sit in the stands and stay away from the other players. Realistically, I wouldn't be capable of actually finishing an inning.

Me too. Besides, I think with my Dr. Fauci-like slider, and Joe Kelly control, nothing I might throw would be hittable.

Kinda reminds me of the Daniel Bard comeback attempt with the Reds. Btw, I didn't realize Fauci threw a slider, but I'd heard his fastball looks like a pill.

Actually the Marlin players didnt take their own health seriously.....how many players on other teams tested positive? Many of us have been working through the entire pandemic, Price is just a whiner...if I had to pick 1 player that I knew would opt out, it would be him.

Don't forget to add the part about his dastardly and cowardly contributing money to help out the minor leaguers in the LAD system.

Been a while since my last post. Hope everyone here is safe and careful these days. Anyone that still thinks they should play in 2020 really wants to tempt fate. It should be obvious that one’s health is most important. Some staff members are elderly.. some people wear masks, others refuse to. Many players opting out, empty seats, cardboard cutouts behind the plate for show, applause tracks... 2020 is a farce and it should be cancelled. Same for the NHL and NBA. Maybe they can sneak the NFL in but that’s a big maybe.

Not sure why you're down on the NBA, which for various reasons seems to have a good chance of getting a legitimate season in. The NFL has come up with nothing (well, maybe Goodell crosses his fingers once in a while.)

So.... You are boycotting all sports?

 

Red Sox? Not watching the games.

 

Good on you.

Brewers-Cardinsls game tonight postponed due to positive test

 

Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock

 

The good thing about the schedules this year is that by having teams only play their division, and the corresponding division in the other league, it helps to contain outbreaks a little. Yes, the clock is ticking, but an outbreak here and there is to be expected

So, per source, the #Cardinals for now have been told that, if the rest of the team tests negative (and I haven’t yet been told how many positives they had), the series with the Brewers will start on Saturday.
