Tony very optimistic he can play. Fever broke and passed all tests.

There's other stuff going around besides COVID. My mom got a fever and felt awful for a couple days. Took two quick tests and a PCR test and all came back negative for COVID.

Seems like many can’t read between the lines. 
 

In all candor, I don’t know for sure if Abreu is or isn’t playing tomorrow. That said, there is a distinct possibility he does bot play. I don’t know if he or the team even knows if he plays at this point. He didn’t travel with the team. Not sure what the COVID protocol is anymore or what hoops he would need to clear as a vaccinated player. 

This apparently was not implying he has COVID.

Uh, ok pal.

Lets all take a deep breath.  JA says he is feeling better, which means he's going to play unless something catastrophic happens between now and Thursday.

oh my. pal, you told people to read between your tea leafs, leafs that implied he may have COVID. You started a rumor after claiming you didn't want to. Sheesh, at least just own it.

The "rumor" he started was that he was away from the team, and him playing was in question.. both are/were true.

Lynn going game 1

Houston kills Lunn, but this gives both he and Gio an extra day.

man, don't like it at all. would rather have Lucas out there. I wonder what the reasoning is for going with Lynn. They're both damn good, but just trust Lucas more at this point in the season.

It's leaves. I said he was sick and was not with the team. Which the media just reported now. Get help.

Players who don't have COVID go into COVID protocol every week.

Rabbit was right, time to move on

lol just one page ago you were telling people who were saying he was just sick and likely traveling solo to avoid others maybe getting sick that they didn't have half a brain for not concluding COVID.

amazing stuff.

Time to move on, but what a laughable couple pages of people implying the guy had COVID and there was a real chance he didn't play only to pretend that never happened once the news came out.

no, I said it was logical for someone (me) to also assume COVID could have been on the table.

Does not compute

I too wish Giolito was going game 1, for the sole reason that Lynn has struggled vs Houston and the game 1 starter will also be game 5

I don't really want to debate Rabbit's credentials as already discussed.  I hold his opinion in higher regard than you appear to.  I agree he could have been more forthcoming, but he clearly knew about this before you, I or anyone else on this board.  That's worth something to ne, Maybe it was due to internet sleuthing.  Maybe he was actually told something (what I tend to believe.).   Did it lead to a bunch of needless speculation?  Sure.  But I don't see the need to crucify him for it. 

Glad Jose is going to be in Houston tonight, and hopefully in tomorrow's lineup. 

The needless speculation was as expected. There is no way that wasn’t going to happen.

posts hidden, probably missed some.

take the hint and move on.

Was Tony nearly two hours late for the press conference? The video doesn't start until nearly the end of the timeline (around 1:50).

Tony looks more alive and human like than all of his previous press conferences this season.

Tim Anderson is on now.

Not sure I like Lynn possibly going twice this series, both in Houston, where he has historically struggled. Lucas' numbers against Houston since 2019 are amazing. I know Lynn has way more playoff experience, but his numbers in the postseason aren't that good.

Yeah - I don't really get it.  Though, technically, Giolito could still go on regular rest in game 5.
