Mlb was fun for a minute

[msstate7]

12 marlins and 2 of their coaches have tested positive. Football was fun to dream about

I wouldn't be surprised to see them just can the MLB season at this point.

We needed MLB to successfully get through this in order for football to happen, but it ain't looking good.

True. If baseball can't pull it off, then football certainly can't. There's much, much more close contact in football.

Meanwhile, the MLS bubble and the NBA bubble seem to be holding for now. MLB tried to keep everything too close to normal and their not going to be able to hold it together.

Yep. They should've put the players in a bubble and played the games at spring training sights.

I don't know why more people didn't say this. Why are we playing games at home stadiums with no fans? Keep everyone in their spring training bubble and you would have very few issues. Travel isn't nearly as bad either.

Didn't make sense to me that this wasn't an option discussed more for MLB.

blame the union.

Was there a thought that no one would test positive? Because that would be stupid.

NFL have structured their roster limitations, IR provisions, practice squad rules, etc around the knowledge that there will be positive tests.

I can't believe any league would go into this thinking there wouldn't be positives. I'm not waving the white flag on football just yet.

[HoopsDawg]

I think they knew there would be positives. But this is a flat out outbreak after only 3 games. I'm sure the Phillies players are worried since they just played the Marlins.

30 man roster, 12 positives = 40% of team

[shoeless joe]

Don’t they have 60 players to draw from? Test everybody and get 25-30 out of the 60 and play ball. If everybody tests negative that will be at the ball park then let’s play ball...wishful thinking I know

Call some minor league guys test them and then put them on the field. it isn't rocket science.

MLB has a bunch of players to bring in. Plus many players can play multiple positions. Now if they run out of pitchers, well that'll hurt the game.

As far as the bubble thing MLB teams have at lest three times the people to house, feed, transport and keep up with. Plus between spring training and what could be a three month season, that's a long time to be away from the family.

All I'm seeing is a team with 40% of the roster that is resistant to the virus in a couple weeks. Advantage Marlins down the line.

I doubt mlb lasts a week

[MaroonFlounder]

I doubt mlb lasts a week

What do they do about the stats from the few games that were played? Do they count?

The Braves all murdered the ball last night!

[BiscuitEater]

Nope, MLB will last through the week. Too much $$ riding on continuing the 'season.'

MLB proposed that or very similar. Players rejected it.

Probably not a league canceler. The Nationals kept playing after Soto tested positive. This was bound to happen, and surely will many more times. The key is constantly testing everyone and locking up any positives.

The Marlins are basically a AAA quality team anyway, so call up 12 replacements, test everyone, and keep going.

They just played the phillies. Did they spread it to them or umps? Will Yankees wanna take the locker room in philly tonight?
