    The Marlins season has been temporarily paused. The Phillies were potentially exposed to this on Sunday. Shouldn’t they have to isolate for a week or more before they can resume play?
  2. Vanimal46
    Yikes. The Phillies haven’t announced yet whether they have some positive tests from playing against Miami.
  3. Vanimal46
    Europeans sacrificed a hell of a lot more than we did in America. You waited until the spread was contained and declining before allowing sports to return. We’re throwing caution to the wind by trying to play as cases continue to increase.

    I was skeptical about the bubble but that has shown to be the most effective way to contain spreading of the virus. The players don’t have much of a life beyond the 4 walls of their hotel room and the basketball court. But hey, they’re in good shape to finish out their season.

    https://www.inquirer.com/phillies/miami-marlins-coronavirus-outbreak-phillies-mlb-season-20200727.html Major League Baseball issued a 113-page operations manual to all club employees before the start of the season. It outlines everything from on-field rules to testing procedures and what happens if a player tests positive. But Sunday afternoon, the status of the game amid a coronavirus outbreak was decided by a group text-message between Marlins players. Embarrassing.

    I’m disappointed to learn that the decision to play yesterday’s game was left up to the manager Don Mattingly and the players. That is a big mistake on the MLB’s part. The decision should not be left to competitive players to play a game that day. The Yankees-Phillies game is also postponed today so they can sanitize the hell out of the locker room the Marlins just used.

    I was kind of hoping for a more realistic experience with the cut out fans. Shouldn’t an usher go down and remove 75% of them by now? And replace one or two with photos of sleeping fans?

    Nelson Cruz is on a 60 HR pace!
  9. Vanimal46
    Cruz!! Incredible day.

    If Max Kepler played a full season against Giolito and Trevor Bauer, he would average 187 home runs a year (approximately)

    I’m glad to see Ex-Twins in 2020 thread is back up and running. This is also one of my favorite threads over the last 5 years. The Twins have never been undefeated this late into the calendar year (July 25, 2020).
  12. Vanimal46
    I think it’s because they don’t like the game. It’s certainly a slower pace compared to the other major sports. The sport is also not doing their fans any favors by continuing to rely on local TV revenue and blacking out the game if you don’t pay for traditional cable. Personally, I don’t like professional basketball. No matter what they did, shortening the season, creating a 5 point shot, etc. none of that would entice me to turn on a basketball game.

    I wouldn’t make wholesale changes to try and appeal to a demographic that may never be a fan of the sport. It doesn’t matter whether the regular season is 200 games, 162, 100, or 60. If you don’t like it you’re not going to watch it.
  14. Vanimal46
    MLB does a hell of a job preventing people from watching their content. Sorry Iowa fans, they don’t want your eyes on their product. My suggestion wouldn’t necessarily be legal if you catch my drift. That may be your only hope in Iowa unfortunately.
  15. Vanimal46
    The latter, hopefully. What a shame. Dude can never catch a break.
  16. Vanimal46
    Jordan Hicks opts out.
  17. Vanimal46
  18. Vanimal46
    Since we last checked in, David Price and King Felix opted out. As the days go on and more players see the challenge other teammates have with the virus, like Freddie Freeman, we will see more opt out. Update: Nick Markakis opts out after speaking to Freeman.

    I didn’t know the MVP had a name tied to it, nor did I know who Landis was prior to this thread. It doesn’t matter to me if a name is tied to an award or not... But, if they changed the name, there’s a few unanimous or near unanimous 1st ballot HOF players they could choose from. Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey Jr... Mariano Rivera Reliever of the year award?
  20. Vanimal46
    Fantastic. I’m on hold with the Governor’s office right now. Crisis averted! Play ball!
  21. Vanimal46
    Link? First time I’m hearing covid lasts 30 min in the sunshine... I would love to share this information directly with Governor Abbott in Texas so we’re no longer a hot spot. Thanks.
  22. Vanimal46
    Marney Gelner hinted on KFAN last week that this is going to be a similar set up for the TV crew too. Each team will use the feed from the home team, and they will be reacting to the action they see on monitor in the Twin Cities.
  23. Vanimal46
    The flood gates are opening.

    Diamondbacks pitcher Mike Leake is the first MLB player to opt out of playing this season. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/06/dbacks-mike-leake-opt-out-2020-coronavirus-covid-19.html
  25. Vanimal46
    Either we need to stop hoping these sports will come back, or stop caring about the number of people testing positive. I lean towards the former, because I don’t want to anything in 2020 to be normalized.
