  1. @PhilAPerry This @AP story points out that the Marlins played exhibition games at Atlanta on Tuesday and Wednesday. Says the Braves have since been without two players after both "showed symptoms of the coronavirus." http://usnews.com/news/sports/articles/2020-07-26/miami-marlins-postpone-trip-home-amid-fear-of-virus-outbreak
  2. @ADSohn Things MLB spent a lot of time on: figuring out how to use a pandemic to f*** over the players Things MLB spent no time at all on: figuring out how to actually play baseball in a pandemic Turns out this may have not been a good approach!
  3. I wasn't specifically asking you. Was just hoping Jacko could read our comments and chime in when he gets the chance.
  4. 7/26: Management: "Uh, so we have 4 positive cases right now. Do you guys feel like playing today or no?" Players: "Yeah, let's go." 7/27: "That was a whoopsiedoodle!"
  5. @GolicAndWingo “I think that the players wanted to play, and I think that MLB didn’t want to set off any alarms with just 4 players.” - @JeffPassan on why Marlins players who had tested positive still played against the Phillies yesterday...
  6. Is transmission immediate? As in would you get a positive test if you ran into a COVID player yesterday? Testing window for general public is 7-12 days right now, but I think the MLB players are getting tests back within 24 hours.
  7. @CraigMish Waiting to hear if the 2020 MLB season has been cancelled. Nothing definitive yet. “In jeopardy” seems to be the most texted term to me in the last 30 minutes.
  8. Honest question: What's the timeframe for a Phillies player testing positive if they came into contact with a Marlins player who had COVID?
  9. @JeffPassan Eight more players and two coaches with the Miami Marlins have tested positive for COVID-19, as an outbreak has spread throughout their clubhouse and brought the total of cases in recent days to at least 14, sources familiar with the situation tell me and
  10. @CraigMish Before this hits the fan today, I’d like to share that inside that clubhouse, and in that organization, to a man (and woman) they all felt safe. I have polled. Someone would leak to me if they weren’t following the strict protocols, and I would say it here.
  11. @Ken_Rosenthal Source: Marlins’ game tonight against Orioles in Miami has been cancelled. Team still in Philadelphia. Buh-buh-buh-buh-bah... Not loving it...
  12. I would agree that the weird season is going to have some real negative affects. I don't agree that a big hit would drastically change the Red Sox because I think they were probably on the outside looking in even with expanded playoffs.
  13. All players should just be masked up.
  14. @craigcalcaterra I mean, two weeks in they started changing the standards as it was, calling their protocols "a living document." Given that there is no clear standard stated for a shutdown, they will never, unless absolutely forced, admit that one is warranted. I don't see the government stepping in to shut down the season. It's more likely the players walk out if ERod situations start appearing elsewhere.
  15. As we saw with the NBA bubble and players sneaking out, human nature will always bring too much risk. Does having everyone in one location actually make it worse when someone inevitably gets sick? Is the bubble life causing people to drop their guard around others also in the bubble? I think MLB is in a better position to play during a pandemic because there is less human contact. NBA/NHL/NFL all seem much riskier to me.
  16. It all depends on what your definition of blowing up means. Also, with the unknown factor of how much baseball will be played, I doubt there will be any big trades.
  17. I do not look forward to another 9 months on here without real baseball to talk about.
  18. 6.75 ERA. That's Martin Perezesque!
  19. @Ken_Rosenthal Four Marlins learned they tested positive for COVID-19 in a span of three days. Two infectious disease experts say the positive results fit the definition of “a clear outbreak” with the club. So why did the Marlins play baseball on Sunday? Anyone think they'll get to August 31 at this rate?
  20. The first two suggestions were not in jest though. If you want to move Bogey and Raffy, you need to find a trade partner that has a below average SS/3b. Get their mediocre MLB guy at that respective position and grab two decent arms. If you don't trade Raffy, you need to lock him up long term.
  21. Sox pay full salary years 1 - 10, LA pays 11 - 12.
  22. I meant to originally post "I'm with Farmer Brown's Wife" if that helps.
  23. Give Bloom another offseason with money to spend and he'll start looking like Bugs Bunny in drag to those guys.
  24. Verdugo/Downs/Wong to LAD for Betts
  25. Xander to PHI for Kingery/Morales/Medina
