welp Marlins/Orioles game for tonight cancelled.

The Marlins outbreak may be the first serious crack in any pro league's COVID plan. The team will spend an extra night in Philly rather than crowd onto a plane home, where they are scheduled to host the Orioles starting Monday night. The four positive players have to quarantine in Philly either way. Remember the Braves also lost a couple players, and they just hosted the Marlins a few days back. (Reds also dealing with multiple new cases)

It wouldn't be surprising to see new positives soon from the Marlins, Braves and Phillies. Miami can't afford to lose many more without scrapping some games. This will be a nervous week for MLB.

This thing going to end before it even gets going?

Im shocked!

 

Same thing gonna happen in the NBA and NFL

Definitely the NFL. You have to have a bubble to make this thing work. All it takes is one careless person to fuck an entire team.

Also, did I hear this wrong or is there a 24 hr delay in getting the results for MLB players? If so, this shit is about to spread like wildfire.

Jeter giving the gift of disease is one of those MLB traditions. 

What about the Phillies? They have pretty much all been exposed.

Probably mentioned.

3 games in, nobody is 3-0 or 0-3. Every team is 1 game up or 1 game down in the division.

Wonder how many times that has happened.

Are you fucking retarded?

That's not very nice.

We could find out any time now. A lot riding on the Phillies tests because in the event there are no new positives who played in the game, that would actually be a good sign that outdoor baseball can be played safely. But if there are multiple Phillies, or maybe additional Braves who also played MIA recently, that's a really bad sign for the sport.

It would be kinda funny if the Central and West cohorts just kept going with no issues while East teams have to shut down. Not an idea situation for TV networks

Between their COVID plans, the archaic blackout rules, and completely out of touch marketing, does the MLB even really care about surviving past another 20 years?

Too many ignorant people.  Too little leadership.  They'll try and soldier on because it's the Marlins, but it feels like it's just a matter of time.

 

Is delaying the season even more  still an option?

I think the NFL will let someone die of covid before they cancel their season. I feel like that’s the only thing that will make them give that money.

 Sure, if the option is delaying it to the start of the 2021 season.

Exactly

we can totally get in a 2020 season, but it may not be completed until 2030

I don't think that's true even though I think football is unlikely. The MLB player culture was always going to be a problem. They are going to be the ones more so than NBA and NFL that don't take precautions seriously and break the rules. There are a lot of Aubrey Huffs in Major League Baseball. 

It is interesting that Korean League, Japanese League, and the NBA can all make it through a weekend while MLB can not. NFL and college should be watching and taking notes as to what is working.

It will be interesting to see how the league handles this.  Will they shut down everything, kick teams out like MLS did or some other option.

not sure, but can guarantee that  whatever they do will be stupid and moronic

This is an impressive clusterfuck.  They had players test positive and the team played Sunday any way with no clue on how many other players had it.  MLB had months to figure this out and it took 1 weekend to blow up their plan.

This is why they are playing with a 60 man pool. You can quarantine an entire team if need be. For the Marlins, it might help them long term as they get to see more young players to determine what they actually have in terms of MLB talent. Job #1 for the Marlins and MLB is to determine the source of the Marlins outbreak. Postponing the Phillies and Yankee game was a smart decision too. This will be a big week for the continuation of the sport. If the Phillies come back negative, then MLB is in good shape. If a bunch of Phillies get it too, then I think the season is over.

I get that it’s easier to pull this off in the UFC, but even Dana white was smart enough to realize they would probably need some form of a bubble (aka fight island). It isn’t surprising that the two dumb commissioners blew it and the smart and/or innovative ones are probably going to pull it off.

Florida always has to fuck shit up.

I'm hearing rumors that the dominos are falling.

Can anyone confirm?

There are many fuck ups here:

A. Didn't bubble (which doesn't eliminate chance but cuts it down tremendously compared to people moving about freely)

B. Their tests suck. I went and had a test 2 weeks ago at 10am and was sent result at 11pm. I do not work in a multi million billion dollar industry. These fucksticks should have instant tests results where if they test positive they are not allowed in. Instead they test, and then from what i heard, may not get results for 2 days....what's the fucking point of testing then? So stupid.

C. Manfred as the leader

 

 

It was doomed to fail from the start

 

This is on the players and union, they refused the bubble and insisted on too much leeway with their off the field activities.

MLB can still continue, but I'm not sure the owners actually want to, and Manfred is a leadership vacuum.  Temp suspension of the season for a quarantine and shift to the 3 site bubble backup plan.  Could also reduce risk by shifting to robo umps.  Enforce the player distancing restrictions that have routinely been ignored in the dugout and celebrations.  But I doubt that much, or any, of the infections are from actually playing the game.

Damn I had such a good time this weekend to. Well at least Baltimore might end the season with a winning record now.

Adam Silver for president.

I wish I was kidding.
