Coronavirus and the 2020 Season (Season Postponed, pg3)

[heyzeus]

Any news on when fans would be allowed to start attending games (if at all)?

I really doubt that happens. With cases surging, it doesn’t seem likely to me.

i thought i'd heard it was up to local official to determine and as zeus says, who knows

fwiw

it's gonna be weird when a player hits the IL but they don't say why and then reporters try and source it

Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Scott Kingery, Tommy Hunter, Hector Neris and Ranger Suarez were all placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

The Phillies announced previously that the four players had been placed on the IL, but they didn't provide any further details. Rules prevent the club from saying the IL stints are COVID-19 related, but Breen has been able to confirm that they are. It doesn't necessarily mean that any or all of the players have tested positive, rather it could be that they're showing symptoms or have had contact with an infected person.

When asked about deciding on playing this season Mike Trout said “Honestly, I still don’t feel comfortable”

That’s from Fabian Ardaya who covers the Angels for The Athletic. Apparently Trout wife is expecting in August and he has major concerns about what happens if he contracts it.

That's a really bad take, but considering it's Maddon...not surprising

Maddon's take was fine. Nightengale's butchering of it less so.
