Morgan Freeman narrative voice: “They did not have a plan.”

I don’t think the minimum of two weeks is correct. Though i’ve heard contradictions to this. They need two consecutive negative tests 24 hours apart.

They do, but that’s not the official testing. For example, when Soto tested positive, he was given a bunch of rapid tests throughout the day which were negative. But they can’t use those to get him back on the field.

They’d have to make that decision sooner than later. Not enough time in the schedule to make up games.

Every other day. Not sure if you get tested more often if you test positive.

Including Urena, today’s starter, who they had to scratch two hours before the game.

You also have the playoffs in hockey and basketball picking up soon. So the casual sports fan will likely turn their attention to that. The Yankees/Nats delivered 4M viewers on opening night. A record. The season premiere of Dancing with the Stars in 2019 drew 8M.

Grand slam!

Walk. Bases loaded. DP in play. Pitching change. Going with a submariner.

Five infielders. Maddon is a madman!!!

WP. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. One out.

K. 1 out.

HBP. 3-4-5 coming up.

4-3. Going to the bottom.

Base hit, pop out, walk. Bases juiced, two outs.

Base hit would have scored the run

3-5-6-5 to erase the lead runner. Ouch.

Oakland/ LAAAAA Overtime. History in the making.

I think the Mets are going to have a tough time with their SP injuries. Their lineup is solid. Nimmo and McNeil have developed themselves into really solid players.

TJ MacFarland is on my TV. Lots of ex-O’s I’ve seen on this ESPN triple header today.

Josh Harrison is someone I’d kick the tires on simply because of his position flexibility. His past two years have been injury plagued.

Largest audience for an opening night telecast, last night’s Nats/Yanks game.

This isn’t the lineup MLB.com put out.

For people who can watch, let me know if they have the netting set up.

From a fan perspective, keep 162 games but layer in a double header every third week or so to open up the calendar.
