I appreciate that even during a pandemic baseball players are still finding ludicrous ways to injure themselves.

It's times like these that I miss the SAS Wiki since I know it absolutely had a page for "weird injuries"

Why is it the Nats fault their players got sick? Did I miss a story about them flouting covid safety or something?

The players can and should be 100% isolated from everyone except their team starting around spring training. So yeah it's their fault.

Nats should be forced to forfeit.

This is BS.

Players and staff don’t want to get vaccinated, they want to treat COVID protocols like Justin Turner? Fine. Enjoy the L in the loss column.

Yup.

Still not a justification for permitting unlimited substitution for one position. Either institute split squads and be done with it, or get rid of the inconsistency.

It's not unlimited substitution - now you're just using circular logic to define your stupid position. It's just a 10th position that doesn't have to play the field and in the AL the pitcher doesn't have to bat. We get that you hate the DH but you seem awfully ignorant about it somehow.

Like it seems as though Bo thinks its a good idea if you haven't had covid, but that since he did he's an immune super soldier that doesn't need it. At least he thinks most people should get it (just not him)

Hopefully it's just because you literally can't get it within 90 days of a positive test result. That quote doesn't make it clear that he wouldn't get one, but as mentioned above:

Yeah they absolutely do. It's sad, but they definitely do. DFW is easily the most like the rest of the non-metropolitan portions of the state of any of the large cities. Sure, the other major metro areas are less lovely but you can't just throw everything outside of Houston/Austin/San Antonio/El Paso away.

You are all acting like every stadium wouldn't be full or drat close to it if their respective states were allowing it.

To be fair, my understanding is the Astros are still limiting to 50% capacity in spite of no restrictions limiting them.

Which is like 30-40% or so too high still, but :shobon:

The Astros are also requiring masks when you're not actively eating or drinking but if basically anywhere I've been in the past year is any indication there will be zero enforcement of it

Yeah on the broadcast they mentioned that, and no cash transactions (they actually provide "reverse ATMs" where you can get a debit card for cash), and they do health checks on the way in. Frankly if they just reduced it down to like 20% capacity and strictly enforced the mask stuff, I'd say it'd almost be acting sufficiently as responsible as you can.
