Who told you that? That’s nuts.
Also - my favorite version of Frank is the one that thinks he controls how others can post here. It pops up often.

Since you guys are OBSESSED with school, let’s try this analogy:

If a kid is FAILING halfway through a grading period, does that mean they have FAILED?
Of course not - they still keep moving along through the quarter/semester, and still have a chance to improve and pass...or they can continue to stumble and end up failing in the end.

So far, baseball has been failing. They’re on the verge of turning in some make-up work And extra credit, and bumping that current grade up to a D-. Some parents would be proud of that, some would not.

Edit: just saw Peeps post. Shit, the kid missed the deadline for extra credit. Still failing.

Your school analogy does not hold up. In school there is an objective manner in which students are graded.

What is that objective manner used to determine whether baseball is failing?

Your system includes player death, obviously. That’s really weird.

We’re talking about baseball being played. Not all of the league is playing baseball, and they’re also fucking it up for several other teams.

The cardinals have played 5 games. And now have something like 9 DH scheduled in the next month.
And here we are on the brink of doing it all over again with the Reds (and maybe pirates).

Great. Your point has nothing to do with my question. Nor does IMU's point.

And it's now a week later. So lets try this again. Other than Cardinals games, how many other games have been cancelled due to Covid since you last posted in this thread?

Right. Because the overreaction to 25 year old guys catching what amounts to a cold is absolutely hysterical. Every time a person tests positive about half of the country acts as if it's the end of the world when the scientific fact is that most of the people testing positive aren't even sick.

Playoffs are going to have to be in a bubble.

You have to go warm weather with some quarantine time to do that correctly. NBA and NHL waited weeks before they played in the bubble.

So far we are 5 days out of 23 without a team testing positive. Can't have that in the playoffs.

So basically you need a bubble and 2 weeks before playoffs begin

This sounds like you’re saying that baseball’s plan isn’t working in your opinion.

I guess you could put it that way. The difference between the way I look at it and the way the people making decisions- and not just in baseball- look at it- is that the people making decisions think testing positive for a virus is a problem. I don't. I think people getting sick and dying is a problem. And it's become abundantly clear, if we're actually following the science, that the latter doesn't necessarily follow the former and hasn't at all in the case of MLB players.

Or this. There are MANY reasons why you shouldn't want to catch it.

Sad to see Nas pushing panic propaganda

I don't care who pushes out, there's absolutely no fuckin place for this in a legitimate Sports threat. There are about four dozen other threads that link could have been posting in.

The bubble planning should start immediately for the playoffs.

Agreed! Sounds like the NFL is already considering it.

The bubble planning should start immediately for the playoffs.

Angels @ Astros PPD due to Hurricane Laura


MLB IS FAILING VS WEATHER!!!!!!
