I mean your big stars needed to make the run at the *ahem* playoffs have to be out and quarantined. I know the same thing can happen with injuries and you have to battle thru, but you could have multiple big names gone all at once. Trout AND Ohtani, Albies AND Acuna, Kershaw AND Bellinger AND Turner. I know that's looking for trouble but it is very possible.
Then we could have interim managers in two, three, four places at once because several managers have COVID.
It just seems backwards where managers, owners and fans hope their players stay healthy thru workouts, All Star appearances, etc. but then trot them out where multiple players, coaches could get sick all at once.
Just doesnt make sense to me.
Players with the virus go on the DL.

Has the season ever stopped when stars got injured? Did the season stop when Giancarlo Stanton was hit in the face with a fastball? Did the season stop when Christian Yelich broke his knee? Why would it stop when Bellinger and Kershaw catch Corona?

Managers have bench coaches. There's interim managers. There's ****ing Zoom, for crying out loud.

"I refuse to acknowledge this", "Baseball lost me when they had the strike in '94" - You all need to grow up some.
