So they did only find out during the game? That's a pretty big loving correction Ken.

Still the Dodgers are idiots for letting him out there at all.

I'm a little dumbfounded that they apparently don't know the results of tests until the game is already underway. Unless finding out in the 2nd inning is all bullshit and they did know beforehand :shrug:

I forget, weren’t there a few games during the season that got suspended mid-game? Were those after the first or second positive?

Let’s be honest, even a full day’s notice wouldn’t have been enough to get MLB to postpone because there’s too much money riding on the game, player health is a distant second to fat stacks of cash.

Especially when they’re on the verge of bankruptcy and just can’t afford to pay all these scouts :qq:

You can't suspend a game, that would mean taking Blake Snell out of a game he was absolutely dominati-

Turner was giving me massive jerk vibes since the NLCS when he kicked that ball, disrespecting his ex-teammate Travis D'Arnaud.




You'd think they'd bond over a laugh as they both excelled after being dumped by the Mets lol

If the dodgers didn't win tonight tomorrow might have been crazy town.

If he got the virus from elsewhere it might still be a few days before other players test positive but if he got it from soemone that everyone was interacting with then we might get a bunch of positive tests in the next 24 hours.

Luckily the only people in the stadium were the Dodgers players, who will all isolate for a minimum of two weeks

Mookie gonna do his part to save MLB from bankruptcy by getting covid and dying or being unable to play, having his contract covered by insurance. The scouts will still be fired.

I have a hard time believing they ran a covid test on the off day and didn't get results back until the game had already started

But even if they did, the way they handled it after the game is embarrassing. Turner, the Dodgers, MLB, stadium security or whoever, the state of Texas in general, all failures in this. I wonder if this game had actually taken place in LA instead of in bleeding red Trump country if Turner would have been allowed maskless in team pictures and poo poo

I was getting on his case pretty hard when we were down 3-1 to Atlanta, but the man deserves his credit. With the exception of the Baez stuff in game 4, he was on point pretty much all series
