What is stopping you from making the thread? Honestly, what a stupid complaint.

Yeah i was under the impression that pneumonia was contagious so he should stay away or wear a dust mask?

For the third game in a row Jays' manager John Farrell stayed away from the Rogers Centre battling a bout of pneumonia that struck him late in a game last Thursday.



“He's still feeling a little shaky so we made the decision that he will not be with us for the Baltimore series," bench coach and acting manager Don Wakamatsu said. "We'll evaluate him and see when he'll be able to return at that point, once we're on the road. He came in today thinking he was going to try and manage and he was still weak."

The prognosis on Farrell's return has been day-to-day, but his recovery rate has been unpredictable.

“Just to be safe, this is not something you want to play around with obviously," Wakamatsu emphasized. "Just make sure to get him back on his feet. With pneumonia you just don't know. He felt good enough today to come in and get things checked out. We just want to be safe. I think it was the discussion with Alex more than anything. I'm sure Alex talked to the doctors. Alex was the one that made the call."
