Yeah it really doesn't seem like it was all well thought out in terms of how they would prevent catching and spreading it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 9:17amCompletely.

Re: MLB 2020
Owners wanted to get back to generating income, health of their employees be damned—just like any other industry at any time. Players never should have agreed to return.

Re: MLB 2020
Just switch to video game baseball. Each team picks one dork to play their team's games online. Better yet, make each team's principal owner be the one to play. I'd dumpster-fire watch that for sure.

Re: MLB 2020
what the fuck!!!
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.
The Phillies were alerted Sunday morning about the Marlins’ situation and sent a text message to their players. They didn’t know exactly what Marlins players were positive, but told their team to take precautions. Bryce Harper wore a mask when he ran the bases. Rhys Hoskins had a mask on when he played first base.

How much of baseball's popularity comes from people looking at the players and thinking, "My body's no worse than that guy.

In Moneyball, Billy Beane referred to Kevin Youkalis as "the Greek god of walks," to which Terry Francona said, "I've seen Youk in the shower.
