And I was all for the total baseball bubble. Not sure who blinked first then, MLB or rampant spread of corona in precisely those two states...

As we're ****ting on MLB, I would really love some more openness about which players test how for what. It's all hush-hush, as usual. The front page right now features news items about how the Trout hit his first homer in a 3-0 count and how Derek Holland was ejected from a game, but nothing about the Marlins situation. That's poor form and unacceptable.
