They were in isolation from one another so they shouldn't be infecting one another. If they're final test is negative then they should be good to go.
August 14, 20205 yr So today's game is cancelled/postponed. Can we make the title reflect that ? Edited August 14, 20205 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
August 14, 20205 yr Hopefully Moncada comes out of this feeling fresh. Also good to get the bullpen some rest, Foster should be ready to come out firing as the opener.

August 14, 20205 yr Curious to see who is and isn't playing for the Cardinals. Has everyone been cleared at this point?

In fact they are proving that at least with a professional sport you don't have to do a bubble, even in the hotbed of COVID in the US. Say what? MLB has handled this about as poorly as possible. The cardinals have played 5 games lol. They're going to play like 10 fewer games than other teams. The cardinals had this issue because MLB didn't have protocol preventing players from going out. Now a bunch of teams have to jam games in a short window to get the cardinals to like 45-50 games so they're being punished because the cardinals chose to go to a casino. If the USA wasn't a complete joke, baseball would be canceled for this many positives like it is anywhere else in the world. I enjoy watching as much as the next guy, but mlb has handled this well? Please.
August 14, 20205 yr I actually don’t hate the idea of doing a bullpen game considering it will only be 7 innings. Have Foster throw 2, Detwiler throw 3, and see where you’re at after that.
August 14, 20205 yr Can we actually win a double header for once in the past, which seems like, 7 years? Edited August 14, 20205 yr by Soxnfins

He pitches three innings and you probably lose him for two days. I still can't believe he is currently our best lefty over Fry.

I still can't believe he is currently our best lefty over Fry. They're not really using him anyway, so why not? As of tomorrow he'll have pitched 1 time in a 12 day period. They even went to a AA quality callup in a 0-0 game rather than bring him in last time.
