It seems like the Phillies should have maybe had some say in it also. I'd be a little pissed if I was a Philly player.

  • They literally threatened to shut down the season over the weekend. Also, your sarcasm in regard to the seriousness of this virus is embarrassing.

  • It would be swell if people did, like, at least 1 minute of reading about complications other than death. And if not, maybe have an ounce of consideration for the person standing next to them.

Right, but the NBA actually has controls for that. He wasn't allowed in. The mlb would never know.

Didn't realize the NBA kept him out...good on them.

Hopefully they can get past this, but have it be a warning not to get in each other’s faces. Be miserable for 9 weeks...it may make you millions of dollars someday. No hugs, no fist bumps, no high fives, don’t spit near anyone, wear a mask where they tell you to, stay in your hotel room and get spankovision, whatever you have to do to lessen the possibility of getting and spreading it.

That’s a side step. The point is people have contracted the Coronavirus while wearing masks religiously, washing hands, etc. I’ve seen it. So to use masks and sitting in the stands as a reason for this occurring is just conjecture. 

People get pregnant using condoms or birth control, doesn't mean you don't decrease or increase your risk depending on your behavior.

You've seen them contract COVID?

Fourteen players positive seems to indicate too little. If MLB cancelled the season, would we ever know if that was too much?

How would you determine that we did too much?

He's got those glasses that Rowdy Roddy Piper wore in They Live....he can actually see the Coronavirus enter their system.

What proof is there that this would make a difference?

Some days it feels like we never got past the sun revolving around the earth.

Everyone has to wear N95 masks or it is over. Teams should be penalized for infections.

Silver lining if the season gets canceled...in 2021 Nelson Cruz will be a year older

And hopefully off the Twins.

Hopefully in Arizona....and I mean in a retirement community.

Serious reaction: If I'm the Phillies, I'm furious at the Marlins for this. If any Philly gets sick from this, every idiot on the Marlins is liable.

Whimsical reaction: Take Jeter out of the HoF

Yikes. The (seemingly majority) view that the positive results are completely the players' faults for whatever they do outside of the stadium is pretty rough. You can follow all the protocols 100% perfectly and still get the virus

Put a runner on second each inning not everyone is wearing a mask. 

Can players opt out during the season? Another possible ripple to this issue.

Right, let's blame the virus not the people. These guys can't wfh.

That said, MLB and Players Union need to evaluate if they truly are doing everything possible to limit this. I was not impressed.

According to Girardi, the Phillies knew. That might be covering his ass however.

Now every team knows that their opponent might be hours away from an outbreak.

I did not say the players but rules should be enforced. No dessert, no girl on pizzas delivered etc.

I think this will all come down to the Phillies test results tonight.

If the Phillies test positive and someone got it from the Marlins, the season is over. If not, they'll tell hte Marlins tough shit, use your taxi squad.

Well the problem with this is that someone might test negative today and still have it, if they got exposed over the weekend. Might take til Wednesday or Friday tests to be positive.

Yes. At any point.

And a thank you to all the players who are playing. Sure for many it's for the money, but they are risking their long term health to entertain us.

This could be interesting, but I assume most thought about this scenario before committing to the season.

They definitely aren’t. They were acting like it wasn’t there all weekend. White Sox included.

Mike Trout should opt out now.
