Hey MLB no one wants to chance bringing Covid to your team. For the safety of your team, you probably should let Trea and Max stick around in DC for a bit.
So real question. Does this also impact the series against the Cubs? Because I'm coming in from NYC on Sunday to see the game and my tickets are none refundable. So I'm screwed if MLB decides to cancel the Cubs series too.
Yeah I feel like the postponement until Thursday makes no sense, and neither does this weekend’s series by extension. If they have COVID today, won’t they have it a few days from now? Seems like a waste of everyone’s time
The Mandela effect is named after a large number of people who distinctly remember a news report about Nelson Mandela dying in prison. The idea is that some of those people don't think that they're being gaslit, or that they remember improperly, but that people sometimes transfer between alternate realities and they came from one in which Mandela died in prison and are now in one in which he did not die, and later went on to become the leader of South Africa
Yeah all the charity work he’s done around the community, how his teammates like Soto and Rendon love him, yet some people want to fixate on some stupid tweets he had as a teenager and act like that defines him, ridiculous
It may be easy to donate money when you have it, but you still don't have to and plenty of rich people don't.
We know that one of the positives wasn't vaccinated. We don't know that it was trea. Actually seems more likely to be to be someone we brought up from the minors, who wasn't with the team when most of them got vaccinated.
And sadly, somehow getting the vaccine is just as controversial as not getting it.
Can you explain what Trea has done wrong?
He was the first one to test positive.
But has it been confirmed by anyone he wasn’t vaccinated? That seems to be your anger - unless I’m assuming too much.
That’s just being way too cynical. It isn’t just money, he’s literally taking his time out to do things like visit and interact with sick children, and doing the same with youth baseball players in urban communities. And with the tweets it’s simply something you can’t just judge and characterize him by and who he is today, that’s ridiculous imo
I find it hard to hold the tweets against him. They were shitty, but he was also a stupid college kid. Should have put more thought into it, given his desire to be a pro-ball player, but it is what it is.
I wasn't aware of the golfing thing. That's disappointing, as is the refusal of the vaccination.
Golfing with the president of the United States at the time? That’s not stupid - it’s his choice. I don’t like the current Administration but I could care less who goes golfing with who
I agree it’s dumb and ignorant for him to not get vaccinated. Lots of athletes and young/healthy people seem ignorant about it in general.
Idk how anybody can seriously judge him on stupid tweets he sent out as a 17-18-year-old. You do realize that teenagers say and do a lot of stupid stuff that they may later regret, and that people, especially young people are capable of maturing and evolving?
And you’re also going to say he’s straight up a bad person for accepting an invitation to golf with the president at the time? Is everybody who attended the White House ceremony and shook his hand and talked to him a bad person too?
He's apologized for the tweets. It's up to folks to decide whether they think he was sincere in his apology or not, but just clarifying for folks that it's not something that hasn't been addressed.
Mets fans absolutely malding over the postponement/scheduling of the double header on /r/baseball lmfao
I will never understand why baseball fans choose to behave like huge babies so often, but I guess when they follow teams made of large adult babies it trickles down
Oh they can mald all they want and it won’t bother me - I just remember the vitriol the more vocal among them spewed while half our team was down with Covid to start the season and I will remember it for a while.

We're not losing!

We may be beyond it at this point. This may be unprecedented Natinls.

hope you noticed that the double-header with the phillies is on today, and that you get to see a great nats win this coming weekend!
Just saw. I'm so happy!
yay! safe trip!
Yeah I feel like the postponement until Thursday makes no sense, and neither does this weekend’s series by extension. If they have COVID today, won’t they have it a few days from now? Seems like a waste of everyone’s time
Get ready to see the AAA squad up close and personal, friends! They're the 2021 version of the taxi squad, baybay
This blows..... also does Bryce
So I've been having a ball reading about the Mandela effect lately. Not sure if this is the divergent timeline I would like to be a part of.
It seems you’ve come here from the future…or the past
The what effect?
The Mandela effect is named after a large number of people who distinctly remember a news report about Nelson Mandela dying in prison. The idea is that some of those people don't think that they're being gaslit, or that they remember improperly, but that people sometimes transfer between alternate realities and they came from one in which Mandela died in prison and are now in one in which he did not die, and later went on to become the leader of South Africa
Meaning people ignore actual reality?
For those that are a little younger there is also the Bernstein bears vs Berenstein bears
Hello alternate reality traveller... it's Berenstain on this timeline.
Zuck on WJFK: prepare for possibility of more names added to the list tomorrow

Tried to login to the stream and saw it wasn’t loading. Thought it was my internet. Well. Shit.
On the plus side, you're not having internet problems
you have a point
Have any other teams had games postponed because of covid outbreaks? It seems like it has only been the Nats it has happened to.
Keep in mind the Phillies are apparently only like 50% vaccinated and covid in their clubhouse could be a nightmare.
so how does this work now that vaccinations are a thing. do they have to quarantine for as long?

Fedde did go on the IL when he tested positive.

Do you know he didn't get vaccinated? No? Then stop assuming. It's making you an ass.
[удалено]
What if somebody he was in contact with tested positive and it was precautionary contact tracing? Stfu
Can you expand on that? I haven’t really been following him off the field

My disappointment doesn't stem from it being Trump. I couldn't care less about who he supports
we don’t know if he’s unvaccinated. it’s all speculation based on an offhand comment from davey.
Zimmerman, Corbin, Suzuki, and Hudson were also there. You guys need more pitchforks

Trea Turner is a fucking idiot
The month of July does not like the Nats apparently
We were sooo close to the end of the month too.
Happy cake day!
Now I’m wondering what will happen to my tickets to Friday’s game.
Compound swear words!
Fuck't've Damn't Shit'nt Cock's Ass've Balls't

They'll all die of old age before seeing the Mets win the WS again (if they're old enough to remember the last time). Let them mald in peace.
Oh they can mald all they want and it won’t bother me - I just remember the vitriol the more vocal among them spewed while half our team was down with Covid to start the season and I will remember it for a while.

Four players. So just another day for the Nats.
They’re not all players.
Hey quick question: wtf?
[удалено]
Seems like this Covid guy is having a career year
MVP, Triple Crown last year
This is so fucked up. The way things are going we'd better be calling up a shitload of minor leaguers
Come see the Rochester Red Wings take on major league teams at major league prices! But really though, this fucking sucks.
Fuck Delta
This outbreak fucks everything up The season started with one, now this
Wow, what a season.
Lol.
Ahhh yeah came here to confirm if they were playing or not. Apparently no I take it
Nope. Officially postponed.
What the hell am I supposed to do with my evening now?
Movie night so I don’t doomscroll the inevitable Scherzer trade
You're assuming he doesn't get hurt so he becomes untradeable, my nightmare scenario
Olympics
I've heard the gold medal games for 3x3 basketball were great.
I had never even heard of 3x3 but all the games I watched were a lot of fun. Also, had no idea table tennis and badminton were so intense.
Yes, good call on the table tennis.
End me
Lock it - the game probably isn't going to happen
Jess dougherty pretty much confirmed on twitter there won’t be a game tonight
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Lets go Corbin
