2020 MLB postseason thread

Magic?

 

So many questions.
1) Why are test results coming back in the middle of the game?
2) What if he hadn't been the only one? What if half his teammates or half of the Rays had also been infected and come up positive?
3) Did they get him out of the ballpark and into a secret isolation locale before the game ended?

 

Tell me what you think about Dave Roberts, as a Dodgers fan. For me, someone who loosely follows the Dodgers since my time living in Hawaii, it seems he has been oft-criticized for past playoff failures. This year, it seems like he didn't make any egregious mistakes and, for example, pulled the right strings with moves like allowing Urias (a lefty) to face Arozarena to lead off the eighth and leaving him in the rest of the way, even if the analytics may or may not have indicated that being the optimal play.

Do you think he has improved, or was he never as bad as was portrayed, or did they win in spite of him? What do you think?

 

Wow, Manfred is absolutely fucking bombed. Holy shit.

 

Look at Kershaw walking around without a mask. Guarantee Turner is not the only one positive.

 

He's dethroned Gary Bettman as Worst Working Pro Sports Commissioner, so why not?

 

And if the Rays win, when do they play Game 7?

 

There's only two more fitting places for this Covid test then Texas.

 

I resemble that remark.

 

It's possible, but someone in the broadcast industry noted that there's a good chance he's wearing an earpiece that, combined with the PA, has a disorienting effect. I was curious if he had a stutter or other speech impediment and found that there was a similar sounding incident in Pittsburgh on Opening Day last year: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ap165maamazm&usg=AOvVaw3UGibcL4ToaILbQwYgvHQr

 

That, too.
If I'm a Rays fan, I'm wondering about the timing of the announcement, made when the Dodgers were only a few outs from clinching the title.
Is this the normal time frame for receipt of test results? The eighth inning? What did MLB know and when did it know it?
