AJ's not coming back, so who would you target instead? Not being a jerk, just asking... who you got in mind?

Teams with more than 10% positive should just forfeit those games until they are cleared.

It would suck, but it would also make teams enforce their bubble. It's not that hard to avoid outbreaks if everyone follows the rules.

But there is no bubble. They travel through airports. They stay in hotels in every city but home.

Sounds like they might want to fix that.

I mean, yes and no right? It's 2020 I think we could probably get professional sports teams from city to city without having them walk around in airport terminals. And you only really catch it by standing next to someone who's has it for 10 minutes, so being a little more strict on distancing in hotels and in your home town would probably help.
European soccer teams worked it out somehow, without a full bubble.
Oh 90% chance they didn't consult at allBeat40 said:amercer said:mathguy86 said:amercer said:mathguy86 said:amercer said:k20dub said:Would you feel this way if this happens to the Astros?amercer said:

I hope MLB consulted those soccer clubs. They have professional sports leagues in Europe who have been traveling since their restart. If MLB didn't consult, hey are dumb. So, I'm guessing they didn't consult.

Literally anyone....... Like anyone else with a fraction of baseball experience.

I'm kinda indifferent about Dusty but felt like this move was inevitable. For better or worse, I think Crane cares more than he used to about "doing the right thing". It would have been a bad look to hire Dusty, tell him to throw the young pitchers into the fire, then not pickup his option after a shortened 60 game season.Nuke LaLoosh said:
My wife works for a company that produces reagents for the testing and they are non stop busy. They also have a research only test used by one MLB team for preliminary results. These test results are apparent within 30 mins, don't require specialized equipment and aren't sent off for examination. If the result is positive, then the player is required to get a clinical test.wangus12 said:The actual hard part is getting the reagent for running the test.

That makes WAAAAAY too much sense for the whole league to use. Use a fast test that never gives a false negative but can produce a false positive....if you pop then do a more stringent test.ebdb_bnb said:My wife works for a company that produces reagents for the testing and they are non stop busy.
