It was bound to happen. KC Royals have a whole second team in town, practicing at a nearby stadium, just in case.
I heard that the Yankees won't go into the locker room that the Marlins used.
Yes, who would have thought a team from Florida would all test positive? The Marlins are stuck in Philly, quarantined and unable to travel. That exposes the Phillies, which must cancel on the Yankees and test and screen, not to mention stadium staff, etc. Meanwhile the Marlins previously played the Braves, so they're delaying/canceling while they test and screen. Anyone on the flights with the Marlins is screwed. Anyone that interacted with the Marlins in Philly is screwed. This was inevitable, and completely avoidable if precious precious baseball wasn't sacrosanct.
Here on the Philly news a Phillie's player said they thought something was up with the Marlins..........So MLB and the Marlins weren't up front about this? I'm confused.
The puppets on the stadium seats reminded me of the ones I made for back to school night in 2nd or 3rd grade from brown kraft paper and stapled on the edges.
An article I read says the team knew they had positive tests before their last game and MLB new protocol was to trace and isolate any one in close contact - the whole team on the flight from Atlanta. But the players did a group text message and decided to play as a team anyway.

Is baseball really worth this?
We have to watch baseball now as we've run through all the re-runs, Netflix, and Amazon shows we can stand. But it feels like we're just going through the motions and even the players don't seem to be enjoying it. It would be even worse without the fake crowd noise.
I wonder what's going to happen with football, as that will be a worse situation.
Baseball players, managers, etc are all chronologically adults, able to be informed and make rational thoughtful decisions and act accordingly. I do not wish to imagine what might happen if children return to school.
Makes me think of something from MAD Magazine from more that 50 years ago. It was something like this:
Tigers! Tigers! Shining bright
In the ballparks of the night
On high and sitting pretty
Then you blow four games in Kansas City
The rest of it eludes me and has so for a little more than 50 years.
Of course at that time the Kansas City team was The Kansas City Athletics.
