The Jays' weekend series with the Phillies is cancelled. The Marlins of course still aren't playing. Just saw an article about the Cards on The Athletic: Another team down Apparently they're planning to play the games Saturday/Sunday as long as the rest of the Cards test negative. A negative test isn't really worth much though. Players could still start exhibiting symptoms and test positive just a few days later. A negative test today is don't mean much when they've recently been in contact with teammates who had the virus. The league ought to know better than this. It's getting harder and harder to imagine this shortened season actually getting finished.

The amount of time they might to quarantine before that though... That's a lot of double headers! It would be like old school baseball. Too bad the players union and league couldn't agree on playing in a bubble without travel. I'm sure they could have gotten something together in Florida or Arizona with all the club's spring training facilities.

This Marlins thing isn't good. Two games postponed today. I'm not sure how the Marlins can go back to playing games any time soon... I wonder if they will have to start forfeiting games? I guess the Phillies are on hold until tests come back for all their players and staff as well. I assume they will require double negative tests.

The Jays should have gone 2-1 over the weekend, maybe even 3-0, but the bullpen let them down Giles looks like he's going to be out for a while, which kinda sucks. I'm not a huge fan of Giles, but when he's pitching well he does get pretty good results. Who knows, maybe none of it matters. The Marlins have 8 players and 2 coaches (according to the report I read) that have tested positive and have had to cancel their home opener. Is this the beginning of the end already..?

And the Jays are 1-0!

Mets gonna Mets, that's just how it goes. The Jays are up 6-3 late in the game now, but their 8th inning guy has pitched himself into a bit of a jam. This team has talent but wins are not going to come easy. They could be "scrappy and surprising" good, but they're not going to be "we're obviously better than you" good. (Or they could just turn out to be bad )

Today is Opening Day, let's get ready to play ball! Since all the sports went away in March, I almost completely stopped caring about or consuming sports media. Haven't listened to a podcast or read a blog post; I think I've only used my Athletic account like two or three times in the last 3-4 months. And I'm definitely not sitting around at home watching archived games, old highlights, etc. But this morning I read a primer on the Jays' roster for this summer, and all of a sudden I'm feeling kinda excited and hopeful to see what these kids can do. I guess tomorrow I will officially end my sports diet to start watching Jays games. Who else is going to be watching Opening Day? Did you check out the Opening Night games last night? What teams / players are you looking forward to seeing this summer?
