FiddySicks Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Yeah, this whole thing is probably over by the end of the week, if I had to guess. Going 2-2 vs the Dodgers in 4 possible games is enough for me to declare the Giants 2020 World Series Champions, right?

Don't get me wrong - I think it's a crime that athletes have access to the types of tests that are inaccessible to the people that really need it, but if the other leagues could do it, why not the one with the most compressed schedule?

BBTV Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Phillies vs Yankees postponed over concerns that the Marlins contaminated the visitors clubhouse at CBP. The Phillies are getting their road clubhouse staff tested. Looks like some teams - like the Yankees - actually bring their own staff on the road, while others - like the Marlins - rely on the home team to provide staff. I have a feeling that they will require all visiting teams to bring their own people so as not to accidentally expose any employees of the host team. Screw Florida. Everything about it.

It's a major multi-billion dollar industry with egg on its face. While in the long term it murders sports journalism root and stem, in the short term they have to get their clicks and views to rack up that revenue and clout while there's gettin' to get.

SFGiants58 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Honestly, do what MLS did and boot the Marlins from the season. If another team gets that many positive tests, boot them too.

If you have teams dropping out on a weekly basis, or having their rosters filled with taxi squads who would otherwise never see a professional field, if you have major names in the league suddenly back out to save their families, and there were only 60 games to begin with...what's the point?

The point at this point is the point itself. I believe this country needs sports at this point.

Swabs can be done in 24 hours. Every test I’ve done had gotten results the next day. Mine just have priority tags put on them as a testing worker. I’d assume the mlb would get the same tags. And swabs are more accurate than a cheek swab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, except for the Dodgers and Giants at 2-2. Odd - I read it's been nearly forever for that to have happened. It doesn't strike me as that outlandish. I'm trying to find that tweet. per a Tweet - I'm not going to independently verify:2020 is the first MLB season without... a team starting 3-0 since 1954 a team starting 0-3 since 1961 a 3-0 start or 0-3 start since 1953 It's where I sit.

AustinFromBoston Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just cancel the MLB & NFL season this year. It’s clear that only the NBA & NHL give a crap (or at least trying to). if they cared, they would have banned teams from California, Arizona, Texas, and Arizona, and work to find replacement arenas for those teams in less volatile states. But instead they chose to play russian roulette with COVID-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
