MLB season delayed

This is what may doom team sports in North America (and everything else, like in-person schooling) for the foreseeable future: the lag time between contracting the virus and getting a positive result. While it's great biosci is working on a vaccine, I hope they're also trying to create much more expedient test results with greater accuracy.

Realted note: My wife wonders why none of the players was wearing a mask in the dugout while their team was batting. If you're going to the trouble of trying to limit the spread, isn't it better to take any and all precautions?

 

Hoo boy.

 

It’s a little late but who cares

 

Alex Jackson is the guy getting to catch for the Braves. A good opportunity for a high draft pick.

 

Or they'll just wing it.

 

The guy who drove the Zamboni for the Thrashers isn't around? [/crossthread]

 

I see what you did there.

 

REMINDER: Larry owns the Mets.

 

Sonny Gray is looking excellent today.

 

Does this start his free agency clock a year sooner than they would have liked? I know nothing of this player, but if you value a young player, why would you use 2020 at the expense of any other year?

 

Why would you throw in the towel on opening day of a 60 game season?

 

Catchers are different, I suppose. But I do wonder if any of this matters.
