Reportedly cancelling their first game since the restart.
The Miami Marlins, who had four players test positive during their opening series against the Philadelphia Phillies, had an additional eight players and two coaches test positive on Monday, less than 12 hours before they were supposed to play their home opener against the Baltimore Orioles, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
That means the Marlins have had at least 14 individuals become infected over the last several days. In response to the outbreak, the Marlins game against the Orioles on Monday night will not be played, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

Didn't take long to get to 2.
The New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies will not play their Monday night game as scheduled, Major League Baseball announced. The game at Citizens Bank Park has been postponed. The game's status came into question Monday morning, when the Miami Marlins were confirmed to have a COVID-19 outbreak on their roster.

More Marlins testing positive, talk that the team should shut down for a period of time. Phillies-Yankees postponing a second game. Going to be interesting to see what MLB does here. In the very least, I'd expect that the projected end-of-season date could get pushed back to allow everyone to get to 60 games. It would aid in scheduling rain out dates and makeup games.

Amazing chess game Unfortunately the community center where I support and help mentor a very young group of low income players Is now shut down. We fed them, and even used a good crew of former felons to improve and purpose all types of lives. Done for now..... I worry about how these family-challenged kids will learn in a system that is currently going 100% virtual. Is there any doubt about the benefit of hands-on supervision?
This will only widen the gap between the haves and the have-nots..... Start school when it can be done safely and effectively. If youth and teachers have to go year-round and/or extra hours, so be it. It is a quality educational opportunity that matters......

Reports surfacing that the Marlins may well have contracted the virus when some of the players "went out on the town" in Atlanta after playing an exhibition game there last week. If none of the Phillies contracted the virus, this incident may actually prove beneficial to show that there isn't a great risk of contracting the virus from playing baseball and by reinforcing the need to exercise diligent compliance with the protocols in place.

Starting Saturday, doubleheaders will be 7 innings each game. Plenty will be necessary to make up the lost games. Also, under this season's format, it's not necessary that all teams play 60 games. Playoff positions will be determined by win percentage.

NO SPITTING. NO HIGH FIVES. NO HUGGING. Word is... players are behaving badly.
NO SPITTING. NO HIGH FIVES. NO HUGGING.
Season to be cancelled after this weekend. NO SPITTING. NO HIGH FIVES. NO HUGGING. Violate these rules this weekend and it's over.
So, it's over.

My MLB betting hasn't been good, so far. Like my season-long bets, but they might well be cancelled.

Do you know what makes sports great?
It's real. A diving catch. A tipped ball up for grabs. A half court shot to win the game. A driving finish to win by a nose. A recovered fumble. A 3-point shot. A power play. A double play. A fast break. A stolen base. A slaaaaaaaaam dunk!!! All absolutely real. Each moment, pure and true.
Now, do you know what's pure crap? Recorded crowd noise. The laugh track. Phony pre-recorded cheers from non-existent fans. It's awful. It's stupid. It's embarrassing.
STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not heard from gooch but I feel comfortable saying he thinks it sucks...lol... the allowing a runner to go to 2nd base in extra innnings is the most stupid thing I have ever seen. saw it in the Astros loss last night vs. the Angels.

Cancel the season . Baseball was boring enough with a crowd. Eating a 30 day old yoghurt is more entertaining.

In many ways, baseball has been my favorite sport, but it's not been easy to get into this weird season. Nevertheless, while it's not a lot of money I did bet about a third of my account balance on the Pirates season under and it's looking golden if - Big If - they play the full 60 games.
