caulfield12 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Well, that didn’t last very long. How many more teams have to see 3-5 or more players go down before the entire day’s MLB schedule is scrubbed? 2 more teams? 3? 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising at all, based on that state’s reaction this entire time (and considerable pushback against DeSantis from the Miami mayor)...it’s going to be shocking to see the NBA get through this unscathed somehow. Already having problems with players who refuse to stay where they’re supposed to 24 hours per day. Now what, they can’t let the Phillies (Marlins’ weekend opponents) play, either? And unless they can turn tests around quickly, they will need to bang NYY at Philly series starting tonight as well since results are taking 3-5 days, and by the time you get the results, it’s already out of date or potentially a false positive. And MLB can’t allow the Yankees to be sidelined for very long or any realistic payback from broadcasting rights is going to be severely limited without them, the Mets, Dodgers, Angels, Cubs, Red Sox, Phillies, Cardinals, Astros, Braves, etc. Edited July 27, 2020 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but once they start playing and making so much contact in the paint, it will spread like wildfire across the league...otherwise, it would like playing two hand touch football, forbidding any contact, it’s just not possible in soccer and basketball. Football was over before it started. Will have to wait and see with NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB is literally doing nothing to prevent players from catching it off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 If Marlin's miss two weeks, how can the league recover? You cant have some teams playing 60, with others playing 50-55 games due to cascading cancellations. Dang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Apparently the Phillies decided to go ahead and play Sunday even after being informed by the Marlins about the team-wide outbreak. Players-only meeting, vote. The Marlins scratched their starting pitcher, their catcher was on the injured list, and their first baseman and right fielder were missing from Sunday’s lineup due to COVID-19 protocols.

MLB is flying down an alternate team to play in Miami's place. The Washington Generals will play all of Miami's games during the quaratine period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Monday morning that at least 10 more positive cases — eight players and two coaches — surfaced after the team’s latest round of testing on Sunday. That comes after four players received positive test results during the team’s trip to Philadelphia, including three starters finding out before Sunday’s series finale. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal was first to report the Marlins’ game on Monday would be canceled. The team had already previously changed its flight back to Miami from Sunday night to Monday morning. They were waiting for results to come in from their latest round of COVID-19 testing Sunday morning. Results from the rapid tests normally take between 12 and 24 hours. That new flight, originally set to depart at 11:10 a.m., was canceled before 9 a.m. Monday According to MLB’s operations manual for the season, players and staff members are not allowed to travel or access club facilities following a positive test until after they have two negative tests at least 24 hours apart, show no fever for at least 72 hours, complete an antibody test and are cleared by a team physician as well as the MLB COVID-19 joint committee. A team spokesperson could not provide comment.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 What happened to players lockers being in the suites and no high fives or touching? I have been wondering that since the Sox have been real close to each other many times. This never seemed feasible, but I think plenty didn't take it serious too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
