July 6, 20205 yr 10 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Yeah but Moncada is the Sox best player and the Sox have no depth at 3B. Some people have mild symptoms for months. This would be like the Braves losing Acuna instead of Freeman. The season is still 18 days away. I wont panic until it's time to panic. I think the data shows even if Yoan is positive, there's a high likelihood he'll return to normal life in very few days. Obviously, anything CAN happen, but it's not panic time yet.
July 6, 20205 yr The White Sox need to send the whole team to some parties this weekend so everyone catches it now lol

Right, but now that they’re with each other, you would hope the peer pressure to follow all of the protocols is heavy. It’s three months- maybe four if you’re good. “Follow the rules. Don’t ruin it for everyone else.” That needs to be the daily reminder. Edited July 6, 20205 yr by flavum

If anyone says that they hope an individual Sox player (or any player in the league) gets COVID-19, you'll be getting an automatic 10-day suspension. You wouldn't be wishing any other potentially fatal disease upon them, so don't do it here.

Yes this is one reason why mlb needs to get their stuff in order on this testing frequency. The good thing from his experience was getting tests each day. If it tested negative, the positive test may not have had results until day 6+
July 6, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, fathom said: I don’t think he has it. Moncada on the other hand is pretty obvious. The first workout group is clearly the starters, so no way they wouldn’t have had him in it. I don't think he has it either. The 'eerieness' (could there be such a word) that I feel is undoubtedly just me being paranoid. But if 'healthy' only includes all things physical, I wonder about potential mental issues. Again there is no reason to feel this way other than through the process of elimination. If he is attending to some family issue, then who knows. Didn't he express experiencing a kind of stage fright at some point?

Also, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's possible that he's just showing symptoms and/or feeling under the weather and is thus understandably not practicing. This would be especially likely if it's true that today is the first day he was not with the team

July 6, 20205 yr I don't care if we lose Moncada, Abreu, Grandal, Robert and Giolito to Covid. All i want to do is get done with work for the day, sit down, and mentally drift away to something. we could be 20-40 or 40-20 and it'd mean the exact same to me. This season really doesn't matter at all. Unfortunately at a certain point you'll see someone like Trout opt out or test positive (Gallo has to be the biggest name so far?) & it will cause more and more pause to what they're even doing out there. Still holding out hope - but I'd have to think we're still at 50/50 for a season.

Nothing has changed. The NHL running theirs in Canada has the best shot of working. Also, Freddie Freeman is a bigger name than Gallo. Edited July 6, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

July 6, 20205 yr I'd advise not running with rumors. Why would he even need to go to indiana? Bars are open in illinois.
