Mattingly tests positive.

He started having some mild symptoms Friday so that would make it he either caught it while we were playing them or right after.  I wonder if we have any players or coaches forced in protocol for close contact.

Prayers up to Donnie Ballgame, I hope he makes a quick recovery.  

Certainly hope none of our guys have it, too.  Weird times we're in.

I think it’s a safe assumption that we’re going to see more frequent positive tests thru the end of the season. MLB favored the J&J vaccine, which seems less effective at preventing transmission (but great at preventing serious symptoms). In hindsight J&J was a mistake for MLB. I assume it was a logistics and ease of administering just one shot decision. I wonder, if things keep getting worse, does MLB start restricting crows sizes again.

They can't restrict crow sizes... it's not a domed stadium... those damn things will fly in regardless of the their size... I know serious subject and I apologize but I've had a couple of beverages while enjoying this sunday afternoon on my deck.

Delta is pretty contagious, even among vaccinated folks. But, from what I've read it stays pretty mild if the person who caught it was vaccinated.  Hopefully Mattingly is ok, and recovers quickly.

Who cares? If you haven’t figured out this is all a bunch of garbage by now, you must still be watching CNN.

What does that have to do with Mattingly, or baseball? Anyway, I hope for Don’s sake that it’s isolated and that he’s okay. He’s one of the (very) few Yankees that I always respected.

Take that elsewhere. This thread is about Mattingly testing positive, not your stance on the virus.

Seemingly, Akin and Santander.

Mattingly testing positive for covid shouldn’t have anything to do with baseball

Except he's the manager for a MLB team. Sooo...

Ah! 
 

Plus, they just played the Orioles and two players went out for precautions. Completely seems MLB and Oriole worthy…
