Kolek planning to go pro
The only thing those two things have in common is that they play baseball.
The only thing those two things have in common is that they play are playing baseball, and the MLB is not.
Maybe MLB needs to look at the Milwaukee Milkman. They are rolling along fine. Players are testing negative.
Wouldn't have happened if the Cards followed the unwritten rulesAlso, bump:
Except that all other sports other than baseball are doing just fine...
Didn’t they have a positive test postpone their opening day? I think it was the Chicago Team that had the positive, but that league hasn’t been immune.
When you say "all other sports" you mean MLS, NBA and WNBA....so far. And they have bubbled their entire teams. Hockey is basically the same, but they are also in Canada which is handling this way better than we are.Baseball wasn't willing to do that. The NFL doesn't look to be doing that either.
But that’s not what he said. He originally posted that in the NBA thread, when a bubble was already in process and stated that it would be a disaster like all other sports.I’m. It doubting that the MLB is different and handling it with some significant issues. But he’s taking a victory lap over a prediction that wasn’t even baseball related initially, and isn’t true for the aforementioned leagues. Or the PGA or NASCAR.If he said “all non-bubble sports” sure. But I specifically remember people asking how he anticipated the NBA bubble “failing spectacularly” after he made his original prediction.
Fastest way to solve the covid problem the MLB is having is to make positive teams forfeit games and their paychecks for those games.I'm the union would have problems with it, but self policing is best policing.

But that's what they're already doing
Is Cleveland the team to beat in the AL Central. If Carrasco stays healthy, they may have the best top 4 starters in baseball.
Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred told MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark on Friday that if the sport doesn't do a better job of managing the coronavirus, it could shut down for the season, sources familiar with the conversation told ESPN. Could happen as soon as Monday if there are more positives this weekend.
But then just have a bubble, call it what it is, and let players opt out. If I were a player and had to run the risks of the locker room, travel, and playing the games, then return to my family each night, and on top of it be told that if I got sick through no fault of my own I wouldn't get paid - all in an attempt to catch the guys making stupid decisions, I'd just say screw it and stay home.
