Its fucked up Marlins played knowing they had positive players. It should be like NFL with an injury report before the game where it is public why certain players are out/questionable for the game.

If that's true I expect the marlins to get punished

So we are what, 4 days into baseball season and 2 games already postponed due to COVID. I'm going to assume at this point, we see maybe 2 more weeks of baseball before they have to shut it all down. I'm assuming the same fate for the NHL playoff coming up in a few days also, unfortunately. I've been saying from the start, there's no reason to attempt sports this summer.

Again, the divisions are broken up, so it's only the East divisions that are fucked in this case.

NHL is doing 2 bubbles akin to MLS and NBA. As long as the players/staff take it seriously, nothing should stop those from finishing.

It doesn't matter, they can only postpone so many games for so many teams before they are gonna need to shut it down. They aren't going to cancel the East and just make it a MLB West league and have a West playoff. Surely someone from some team is going to get it, especially considering the California teams alone. I'd put money on there being no MLB by mid-August.

except the reds are sick as well and the cubs red is still scheduled to happen.

and yeah what mabus said, they aren't going to shut down their biggest markets of new york and boston and just continue on.

i trust corporate greed for them to push on. It will be curious what they do for getting the marlins enough players to field a team.

It's actually good to know this was caused by an extremely terrible decision (borderline criminal negligence tbh) by the Marlins and MLB.

If this doesn't end the season it's still plausible to get through it tbh. There's no ways something this negligent will happen again after the response by sponsors, media, fans, etc.

You also gotta consider there are a lot of older men, even seniors, on a lot of these teams coaching and management staff. God forbid, if a coach gets it and it turns out to be fatal, i'd imagine an immediate halt would happen if a life is lost for a sport to be played. I know they have the best doctors on staff and would get the best immediate treatment, but look at the age range where the virus is more commonly fatal.

I would say fine the Marlins or take away draft picks, but they are the ultimate bottom of the barrel franchise and that wouldn't really affect them

MLB should just contract the Marlins and bring back the Expos or something

Their plan is way better. No travelling. Somebody could still bring it into the bubble and spread it though.

The sky is really not always falling though. I like how Manfred handled it really. They are just dealing with it and moving on.

Everyone needs a dead set plan. I can see how it can work if people use their brains.

Manfred I don't know much about him either but he isn't afraid to call Trump out on his BS. And he leans right but supports democrats supposedly. The sky is falling mentalities out there really have to go in a variety of ways. And i'm not just talking about the haters.

If anything I'm saying the opposite. People should be allowed to use their brains. 13 cases or whatever it is is really not that big a deal if it's dealt with properly.

because at that point they knew that he was opting out, they probably wanted to look misinformed to shirt the blame to Cespedes... idk

No reason to say that and to trade for an outfielder out of the blue just like what the Mets did

There's a gigantic difference between not taking safety protocols seriously because you think you're safe and committing intentional biological warfare that you're suggesting.
