Meanwhile, in baseball that’s actually being played, uh, Shane Bieber has struck out 27 in two starts against one walk and zero runs.

This season hasn't been Manfred's shining moment.  With the lack of protocols for mass positive test incidents, tinkering with the rules to the point of absurdity including the runner on second base in extra innings and the probability of 7 inning doubleheader games, it's becoming more and more clear to me that despite me being glad baseball's back it's time John Taffer arrive at MLB HQ to shut it down.

Can they set up a bunch of hot dogs, ice cream helmets, $12 beers and nachos up so he can knock them off the counter, getting nacho cheese on his blazer?

To quote the great Ian Malcolm,

"You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should". 

 

Also, I hope The NFL is paying attention.

I think we're done here. I mean, we should be, but "should" doesn't really apply in the Manfredverse.

You're posts are absolutely annoying.  Why do you spend the extra effort to type like that?  You're not making any kind of point other than that you're very immature, and you're not funny.

 

Anyway - again, no Phillies players test positive - yet they're missing 7 full days worth of games, so they're basically picking up the season after a long layoff, and they can't even practice since their facilities are shut down.  We knew this season would be challenging and that there would probably be some unfair situations, but in this case, they were victimized by someone else's actions and will now likely not only be steamrolled, but players will probably get injured, and they won't play the full 60 games.

The visual of the teams playing in their own stadiums is nice and the experimentation with the crowd visuals, be it cutouts, tarp or the weird and cringey Fox virtual fans, has been interesting to see. But with the travel and so many players involved in a non-bubble situation, I did wonder like many of us how this show was going to go on once positive tests started coming in. It also sort of sucks since I was excited to see how the White Sox were gonna develop after a summer of buzz and high hopes. Sure, it's a small sample size, but man that starting pitching got off on the wrong foot and then some.
