I’m not sure how much touching goes on in the dugout or locker room(I would imagine damn little) but it’s very easy to remind guys not to high five each other or share drinks.

I would love it if this put an end to all the spitting.

I wish I was the one that was wrong.

Really the flu shot is not a personal issue.  Young infants cannot get the flu shot. When you get the flu shot you prevent the spread of the disease in the community thus protecting infants from death

I think you are just a stupid person, not alarmist.

Have you seen the Orioles locker room?  It is a cinder block room with lockers right next to each other and no air movement.  I am guessing it is pretty easy place to spread disease.

Loogie Hocking. Sunflower seed spitting. Water bottle squirting. Bathroom sharing. Locker proximity. The list goes on. "No high fives" is a little short-sighted.  How often do you touch your face out of habit? I've noticed over a hundred times a day for me. Even knowing I shouldn't I catch myself doing it all day.

The NHL and USHL have suspended their seasons. MLB still hasn't which is par for the course with Manfred. Always a day late and a dollar short. I doubt it will put an end to spitting, though. The flu is an ongoing pandemic that kills hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every year and mutates fast enough to make prevention practically impossible. This Chinese Coronavirus is the same and is here to stay unfortunately. It's still the right thing to suspend the season for now.

The NHL has paused their season.  That makes it sound like they will be back.

MLB suspended operations indefinitely. The same as the other leagues.

I hear they have cancelled the couple weeks left in the regular season and when/if they restart it will be with the playoffs.

A local college did a study, the average adult, touches the G zone at least 23 times an hour.

Im old as dirt, you know how hard it is for me to be out and about and not shake hands?

Its ingrain and heck, I cant even cough into my elbow, and my grandkids let me know, when I forget

      Agreed, but it just seems a little more pronounced with Jorge.

      That can be said about most hitters in the major leagues.

      If you execute your slider, you are in good shape against Mateo. If you hang your slider, RIP.

      Yes - see Tony’s top 75 prospect ratings for last offseason. Miguel was ranked 35th. Strong defensive catcher with plus contact skills. Power was absent last year but emerged yesterday. I’d expect he’ll be top 15 by end of year.

      Baseball will change, there's almost no doubt about that. But it's very unlikely to change back to the ways of 50 or 100 years ago because there's no competitive advantage to do so. It will probably change in ways that we don't fully expect, and that haven't happened before. Unless the powers-that-be change the rules and conditions, which they've always been very reluctant to do, the strategies of today are the strategies of today because they win a lot more games than the strategies of 1970. I think it's more likely that we see individual pitchers pitch even less in each outing (although possibly more frequently) than it is we go back to complete games. Even if the rules are changed, say you can only have nine pitchers on the roster like was common 50 years ago, today's GMs and managers would just use each pitcher for three innings every three games instead of a four-man rotation with lots of complete games.

      I try to not get too caught up in Mateo but I have to be honest. Watching him in person is just a treat. Love that he is playing so well and continue to be happy he is still an Oriole.

      Isn't is just weird that it took 100+ years to figure that out? Hey, that guy hits a bunch of balls right through the box, maybe we should have the second baseman move over that direction a little? Nah, if we do it so will everybody, and we like .350 hitters even when they're on the other team. It would be like a football game where there's a formation where a WR keeps getting completely open downfield and busting 40 yard plays, and it takes 35 years for defenses to adjust. "It's just how it is! If we cover that guy, then the running back might average five yards a carry!"
