8/11 Cubs (Lester) @ Indians (Plutko) 6:00 Marquee/FS1

At this point, doesn't it make sense to just void the Cardinals season?

Only if you want to set the precedent of voiding any team's season who has a player test positive.

Well, it wasn't just 1 player. It was a bunch of players and staff members. It is okay to set that precedent if it's systematic.

 

I mean what are they gonna do, push back the post-season until the Cardinals can make up their games?

They did it with two MLS teams and one NWSL team.

“A” player

My bad. Didn't realize that we were still pretending that if "A" player tests positive we can just send them to their room and everyone else is fine.

If the players got it doing something reckless like going to a casino or whatever nonsense the Cardinals seem to have done I’m fine with canceling/voiding a team.

The casino story was a rumor from Jerry Hairston on twitter not realizing it was players going to a drive in concert at an amphitheater a month ago.

Still is reckless behavior knowing what’s at stake going to a stupid horsefeathering Nelly drive in concert at a casino/concert venue. Regardless if it was the cause or not, you couldn’t show enough restraint to try and be safe and couldn’t stay away from a horsefeathering Nelly concert ~10 days before the season started and you were in camp? It takes up to 2 weeks for the virus to run its course, they were at the casino/drive in concert on July 12. ST 2.0 was going on then, entirely possible that started the spread. There’s also pictures of Mikolas and another player on July 23rd out in public at a gas station/bait shop without masks, the Cardinals were not following the rules and it’s pretty horsefeathering clear. They need to be punished and held accountable.

My bad, didn’t realize you were still in denial about your team being a bunch of selfish incompetent morons.

If teams are generally doing the right thing/being cautious and following rules that probably is a protocol that would decently work. The two big spreads we’ve had by the Marlins and Cardinals have been either willingly reckless ignorance or just general ignorance and stupidity about how to act.

And ingeniously held an umbrella giveaway for one of the games.

Mills pitched the scrimmage today. Lester and Hendricks vs Cleveland.

Kyle Hendricks starting a game in Cleveland on a Wednesday?

[Bertz]

 

This is quite the break

[Brian707]

Cleveland doing the right thing and not doing it the Cardinal Way should be commended.

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

Umm... if he broke protocol, went out, and then returned to the team and traveled with them... shouldn’t they all be quarantined now?

[Omar]

Dempster is more bearable than Mark Grace.

 

As long as he doesn't do his Harry Caray.

[Brian]

Oliver Perez is going to turn 39 in a couple of days

Heyward has a 40 OPS+ coming into this game. Almora 37, for comparison.

 

This will help.
