There is already “WHY WAS THIS GAME EVEN PLAYED” outrage due to them knowing about this yesterday with probably a first test, and scorn at Turner for not only getting sick in the bubble and being a Super Spreader, but for being out for the celebration. Not to mention outrage for the celebration being held, including family members, happening after knowing of Turner's condition. Who knows when Game 7 would have been played knowing that a player had tested positive. I can't imagine MLB would have wanted the optics of playing tonight.

=G-Fafif post_id=48349 time=1602344088 user_id=55] For a little extra Sheadenfreude on Elimination Day, I relish tuning to state television — YES (or YEECH) — to soak in the postloss sorrow and the pity. According to Michael Kay, the MFYs were unfairly disadvantaged because MLB didn't announce before the trade deadline that there'd be no off days during these series, thus they didn't know they needed to swoop in on some lesser team's roster and pluck another starting pitcher. That is a big league alibi.

Unfortunately the “travel days” are inserted into the WS. But even in a normal year you don't, or very rarely see more than 4 straight days played by a team. I'm still trying to figure out why in the bubble the NHL and NBA series, including the finals are staggered out as if they were flying back and forth from the cities!

And further confirmation from the 2020 Media Guide that lists Beltrán in-between Calaway and Rojas.

Perhaps he was seen dancing naked in the Centennial Olympic Park water fountain. And his cell phone got wet. I dunno. I just know that this'll be the biggest sports story in New York for the next 3 or 4 days. Whatever I had been up to, I would appreciate it if the club spoke with me before letting the world know. eh, fuck that. its game day and you aren't at the park, reporters and others will immediately be asking why. The Mets shouldn't need to lie or say 'no comment' because you didn't have the common decency to make a phone call. Don't like it? don't work in an industry where your job takes place on live television. Also, being that Cess was supposed to be there, this is different than the last time the Mets had a case of AWOLing. That was a case of miscommunication with a hungover Harvey on a day Harvey didn't have to be at Citi Field. The only reason it became a thing in the media/social media platforms is because he got scratched from his start the next day because of disciplinary reasons. To Namor's point, the initial release was more staying on top of things by saying “we're aware that one of our players is not with us at Truist Field. We've tried contacting him, yyybbb.” Other wise it would be more of a #LOLMets thing, as opposed to a legit communication breakdown occurring and the Mets scrambling while saying “no comment” to the concerned media and fan base.

Would have been nice if he TOLD HIS BOSSES before hand, and not have this be a shitstorm all day.

I'm reading rumors the Mets might get quarantined because the Marlins played the Braves last week.

I created an account tonight and there's a 30 minutes for free thing and they say you can go up to 40 for free but 45 is the next option for a monthly fee so that makes no sense. Meeting is cancelled. Thanks to everyone was willing to help me out.

Salvador Perez Royals Catcher #7

Cespedes #11 LF

Bryce Harper 5th RF

Noah Syndergaard SP #18

AJ Hinch of the ‘Stros 4th managers

MFY Joe Girardi 6th among skippers

Somewhere behind the plate, I'll say #4, is probably is the latest in the line of insufferable (in terms of media coverage and fan support) and overhyped MFY catchers, Gary Sanchez.

Jeurys Familia as the Unnamed Met #18 in RPs
