[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 733472, member: 2843"] You say it is a "mess"... by my definition, it is not a mess. There are 2 teams with outbreaks...not good; but could be worse. Marlins (playing tonight) and the Cardinals (still not playing). I am one of the few (it seems) who wants to only speak to what I know to be true. 1) MLB is like any business. They want to be operating. 2) The league and the players could not agree to a bubble plan; but did agree to do what they are doing. The bubble plan simply would have been 'safer'... but what they are doing is not irresponsible (in my opinion). It is risky because it relies on everyone adhering to good safe practices regarding limiting exposure... on their honor. 3) We have no way of knowing to what extent players (Marlins and Cards, specifically) were failing to honor the honor system regarding their behavior. The statements regarding the investigation(s) into the outbreaks leads me to believe MLB believes the outbreaks might have been avoided with better 'behavior'. I don't know all they know to make a judgement on that sentiment. They've made some modifications regarding monitoring behavior and seem to be willing to 'bet' if teams act right.. they can proceed. 4) I 'believe' (not really certain) with 30 teams all under the same/similar conditions... you'd have more than 2 teams with problems/outbreaks after 30 days IF the protocols are not good enough to manage the virus. At this point, 28 teams are doing fine. ...even some covid positives (some false positives in there) with no outbreaks. 5) To be clear... I am not predicting MLB will make it until the post-season... or another week even. I just am not so certain with a clamp down by those who have been a little lax in their behavior... that we may have the worst behind us. I don't know... both possibilities exist in my mind given the info we have. [/QUOTE]
