Half the bloody Marlins team tests positive, games cancelled

[KL78192020]

Players getting coronavirus isn't necessarily the disaster that people are making it out to be. The players are just "testing positive" - as far as I can see, none of the players are actually getting sick at all, and they will all likely be immune for the foreseeable future.

A couple of weeks on the bench and they will be back out on the field. This doesn't have to be the end of the season.

You have no clue what you're talking about.

Boston Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez will miss the entire season because of heart inflammation caused by COVID-19.

Just send em to the bench for a couple weeks. It will all be fine.

They should've tried hub cities. There are 7 stadiums they could've used in the northeast. Add in DET and that's 8. I'd probably avoid OH and IL, essentially any state doing 1000+ cases a day. Seems like the first batch got infected in ATL (hotspot) and now Cards in MO (rising state) or MIN. Just stay out of states where caseload is high. Don't know how viable this is but with all the crap they've made up along the way this month I don't see why not.

I would have just went with 4 host cities... 3 groups of 8, and one group of 6. And they only play each other -- no travel.
To me it was a fairly simple solution.

But baseball built a plan early in the pandemic when people thought summer would cure things enough, and instead of the players and MLB then adjusting the plan as the pandemic progressed they thought it would be more beneficial to spend their time in a pissing contest over money.
