This was my concern going into the season. The NBA is having trouble keeping the few players who leave the bubble out of trouble. Wings anyone? How does baseball keep this from happening all season and eventually derailing the season?

Okay, BLM baseball season over!


I have my own opinions on the test accuracy - I digress.

Not quite yet. But a couple more teams with outbreaks like the Marlins and you can put a fork in it.



I guess that will be one way to end all the controversy. Until next year.

They'll just have to bring up minor-leaguers to fill spots while the affected players get quarantined. It's all they have.

For the Marlins, there is probably less difference between their major and minor league rosters in terms of talent than any other club.

I believe I heard the Nats Juan Soto tested positive and negative on the same day, and then negative the following day. Regardless he still on hold for about 8 more days. Then he has to pass two negative tests.

AFAIK, the Soto negative test he took by himself, independently. You have to test twice with the MLB protocol tests, and even if you test yourself independently 15 straight days and they are all negative, if the MLB test comes back positive, you are SOL.

Default 2-1

Due to the Covid outbreak in the Marlins traveling party, the 2 games in Baltimore scheduled for Monday and Tuesday have been postponed. Depending on how the testing goes they may be able to resume the series with the 2 games in Baltimore starting on Wednesday, and if they are not sure they would be playing any double headers to make up for the lost games. With every other East team on at least 2 losses, the Marlins will remain in first place at least for the next 45 hours or so.

If baseball makes it to the end of the season my guess is there will be a lot of double headers.
