At any rate, if the baseball season is cancelled I'm fine with Manfred getting ALL the blame - deserved or not - given the way he completely bungled (and continues to bungle) the Astros scandal.

All are to blame. Rob Numbfred and the league for approaching the situation as laissez-faire as they have; and at least *some* players for going out and having a beer. All of these people should be excised from the league.
I always assumed that the players would be in a bubble - which would work, and it has worked in other situations and for other sports (the odd moron notwithstanding...); this, with family travelling in tow and doing whatever they ****ing please in a situation where the virus is spreading rampantly in the country for REASONS could never have worked.
That was not the protocol I envisioned when I campaigned for a season for months.....

Mattingly ****ed up even before when he failed to instruct his players in not breaking protocol and in sticking to their assigned hotel rooms. Excise that guy, too.
No. Wait. Not having to manage the Marlins anymore sounds like too much of a reward. He must manage the Marlins FOREVER.
