Positive coronavirus tests with the St. Louis Cardinals have postponed their game against the Milwaukee Brewers, a source tells ESPN, confirming the @jonheyman report. Unclear how many, but to this point positives had been limited to teams in the East. Now in the Central, too.

There is a report this morning that MLB has told the cable networks to prepare for alternative programming starting Monday in case they decide to stop the season. [Reply]
At least 4 (some reports say 5) more Cards have tested positive. Today's game is postponed. I looked for Manfried to cancel the season on Monday. Hopefully the Royals will win one of the last 2 games so they will win a home game this year.
Could be the last of MLB until 2023 - Next year -- waiting for everyone to be vaccinated. 2022 - expected labor stoppage while new CBA gets hammered out. [Reply]

They need to remind the players and the new owners of the fans opinion of baseball post 90's strike. It took the MacGuire/Sosa home run race to save baseball from irrelevance. That was a once in a lifetime thing where it crossed over into non-baseball fans. I wouldn't count on something like that to save baseball this time. [Reply]
Here is the breakdown of what is confirmed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and and from officials with the team:
• Six members of the traveling party have been isolated from the team. They will undergo additional testing Saturday as a result of their positive tests. Four were new as of late Friday night or early Saturday.
• The entire traveling party is undergoing more tests Saturday morning.
• Not all of the results from Friday's exams have been reported or reviewed by the team. Once those are available to the team they'll have a better understanding of the reach of the outbreak, the condition of their roster, and whether they can advance on the next few days of the season. [Reply]

Lord
I wonder if MLB has the power to discipline (suspend for X games) someone who goes to a fucking casino while we are trying to get some baseball played. [Reply]
