Monday 5/23/1992: Milwaukee's Garcia wins Player of the Week award
It's the 3rd time that the American League Player of the Week award goes to Milwaukee's third baseman Damaso Garcia. Garcia helped his team with an average of .542 and 11 RBI in 24 at bats. Damaso managed to drive in at least one run in every game he played this week. The National League Player of the Week award goes to Scott Sanderson, one of Chicago (N)'s best starting pitchers. Scott went 2-0 with an ERA of 0.00, while fanning 13 in 18 innings of work. He pitched two shutouts!

Saturday 5/21/1992: Scott Garrelts shuts out San Diego on 2 hits
SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco's right-hander Scott Garrelts is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking San Diego on just 2 hits. It's his 4th shutout this season, and the 9th time he has done it in his career. With no outs in the 5th inning John Jaha singled to break up the no-hitter. 'Things like that happen. You take the mound and everything works. My velocity was pretty good today and I guess it showed.' Garrelts (11-0) was overpowering, fanning 11 while walking 2, throwing 131 pitches. Barry Bonds provided San Francisco with the offense Garrelts needed as he went 2 for 4, homering once. San Francisco improved its record to 39-7, scoring 4 runs on 8 hits.

Clearly someone broke protocol on the team or staff. We're at the point where they're in a bubble and quarantined long enough that everyone should be clean with testing

What bubble? Being in a hotspot like Miami the players could get it from the housekeeper changing sheets at the hotel

You know hotels don’t let housekeepers in rooms anymore with Covid, right?

Ok, that makes sense and goes with what I was thinking.  

There has to be an outside affect(effect? Iv still get confused when I think about it too much) somewhere.

Word is they had 4 positive tests, held a team meeting, and decided to play anyways. The fact it was up to Marlins staff to not forfeit the game is on them. 

[Boston Red Sox]

And im pretty sure it's against the current protocols to not inform the league

4 positive tests and proceeding to play is irresponsible.

If baseball cant do this right im not sure how the nba or nfl will make it happen.

Nba is the best run of the 3 major sports but also more contact.

No one should be playing tho.

NFL definitely won't make it out of camp the sport ejects more respiratory particles than any other

[Boston Red Sox]

Every player had to wear a mask during the 1918 season idk why they aren't now

NFL has shown over and over again player safety is no concern to them. All about the money.

NBA is the only sport with a shot because its still run relatively well. Bubble overall is a good idea. Unless they play in masks though it wont matter.

I dont follow the NHL. Cant speak to it. Seems like theyre run pretty well overall though.

[bigmark]

NHL has done a really good job. But it's a high contact sport so we'll see

It will take someone dying for these morons to wisen up. I dropped my one fantasy league that went ahead because I have zero confidence the season finishes.
NHL is playing in Canada. Of course they're fine. They're not ran by morons.
