First MLB Game Cancellation
- Thread starter ceballoj
- Start date
Like I had mentioned in a past thread here will be hard for college football and NFL without a bubble. This is why fall olympic sports in college can't happen.
1/3 uniform roster and 2 coaches, how can the yankees go into the visiting clubhouse today?
Phillies could have been exposed as well on field sat and sun.
Now MLB needs to figure out was this lax behavior on Marlins roster or due to real concentration of virus.

Shame on the Marlins for playing yesterday. MLB gonna take the L in public perception here. Shu09 this is why office space work enviroment is still a dicey proposition.
Also why contact tracing so crucial. Did Marlins bring this from Miami a known hotspot...if so they risked others on plane, clubhouse staff, hotel staff.
Need a bubble. Otherwise, it is useless
Saw yesterday where Marlins felt might have been exposed when played exhibition in Atlanta on Wednesday.
For a lot of people, not even as bad as the flu. For some, worse. Very dependent on age. Somehow I think baseball players will be fine for the most part.

The Miami Marlins’ coronavirus crisis is now a full-blown outbreak.
The Marlins’ home opener vs. the Orioles scheduled for Monday night has been canceled, according to multiple reports. ESPN reports eight more players and two coaches tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the Marlins’ total to 14 after it was revealed on Sunday four players tested positive for COVID-19.
The team has not yet traveled back to Miami. It is still in Philadelphia undergoing testing.
The Yankees are scheduled to begin a series in Philadelphia tonight. The Marlins were in Philadelphia’s visiting clubhouse and dugout all weekend. The Post’s Joel Sherman reports the Yankees have called in their own clubhouse personnel to work the series in Philadelphia so the team will not be exposed to the visiting clubhouse staff that worked the Marlins series.
According to The Athletic, the Phillies’ entire visiting clubhouse staff will be quarantined after being exposed to the Marlins.

It is not just about an individual baseball player its about the nexus he contacts.
The majority of them (maybe all of them, but we don't know for sure), won't require hospitalization.
Again you have a thick headedness trigger in you in regards to this. Not every person a player contacts is age 22 to 40. You have older umpires, coaches, clubhouse attendants. Thats more crucial than a player being asymptomatic or showing mild symptoms.
So what? People contact other people every day. It's on them to protect themselves if they feel they are at risk.
How about the responsibility of the other person? You say this yet you are on record that you want to fire people if they dont want to come to work.
nope, only a small percentage of people who contract this virus require hospitalization. It is in the 10-15% range, most of them elderly and/or with co-morbidities.
so then i would say its not "fine for the most part" and more "completely fine"
how do you think the marlins got it? if everyone during the game seemed to be distancing fine. are they too close in the locker room? are people coughing on each other? if they arent and still have a 3rd of the team catch it, its going to come across as the invisible boogyman to everyone.
Shu09 you are better than to tweet doug gottlieb of all people to support your own beliefs
For what it's worth, Grigor Dimitrov, a top 20 tennis player, got Covid, and has been open about the fact that he could not practice for one month, and is still feeling the effects. This is one of the fittest people on earth, and this is how he fees as a twenty-something. I'm not sure you can paint a broad brush over how people are going to react to this thing.
Marlins now have to go urgently find mlb ready talent that are free agents and need to test asap
Yes. 4 out of 5 people (maybe even close to 9 out of 10) will not require hospitalization. Even if they do require hospitalization, most will survive.
What's wrong with posting his views? Ahh, that's right, you disagree with them so they can't be tolerated on this board.
There are always rare exceptions to anything in life. Remember, the media highlights the worst of the worst outcomes. You won't hear about those who don't have a problem, which is the vast majority of people who get it.
if you were to tell me 1/5 people will go to the hospital, even 1/10... it would worry me.
- Proximity
Location, location, location: If an event is happening nearby, it will impact the audience more than if it were happening somewhere else that doesn't affect them as much – say, in another state or another country.
- Prominence
A well-known person, place, or event has a stronger news angle than something that the audience isn’t familiar with. A guest speaker visiting your local elementary school to take over story time doesn't resonate with many people ... unless that speaker is Oprah.
- Timeliness
Current news has more impact than something that happened yesterday or last week. The news media loses interest quickly and past events become stale when there's always fresh news somewhere.
- Oddity
If something is unusual, shocking, or bizarre, the strangeness alone could make it newsworthy.
- Consequence
If the impact of an event may directly affect readers, they'll want to know about it. A run-of-the-mill burglary at the Watergate Hotel was white noise on the airwaves until it became clear what the identities of the key players meant for the nation.
- Conflict
Audiences are always interested in disagreements, arguments, and rivalries. If an event has a conflict attached to it, many consumers will be interested on that basis alone. Let's not forget that it's human nature to choose sides and stand up for that choice. Stories that involve conflict include those about religion, sports, business, trials, wars, human rights violations, politics, and even struggles against nature, animals, or outer space.
- Human interest
If a situation draws any sort of emotional reaction, it might contain the news element of a human-interest story. These stories can be "soft" kid-at-the-petting-zoo snapshots, inspiring comeback accounts, or infuriating reports of incompetence on the part of a public figure.
- Extremes/superlatives
Reporters and audiences might be interested in the first, the best, the longest, the smallest, the highest – if you can legitimately claim one. Be careful. Do not overly focus on this, create hyperbole, or exaggerate claims. Dishonesty here will come back to bite you.
- Scandal
Everyone loves to hate on the philandering congressman who sends inappropriate pictures under an absurd virtual handle. Reporters want a scoop on scandal.
- Impact
Whether it's a peaceful protest that encompasses five city blocks or a 52-car pileup on the pike, the more people involved in the event, the more newsworthy it is. Similarly, the number of people affected by the event will affect its newsworthiness, whether it's an adjustment of minimum wage or an alleged outbreak of Ebola.
Good basketball takes and knowledge, everything else crazy talk
Why? It's 1/5 to 1/10 of the people who contract it, not the general population.
Additionally, the hospitalization percentage may be even lower. CDC says the actual number of cases may be 10x greater than what has been reported. That also means the hospitalization and death rates are 10x lower than what has been reported based on positive cases.
