Marlins coronavirus outbreak could derail MLB season (7/27)
from Nothing Personal with David Samson · host Le Batard & Friends, Sports, Baseball, MLB
Today's word of the day is 'outbreak' as in what has happened with the Miami Marlins. After 11 players have now tested positive for covid-19 MLB is scrambling to figure things out. Tonight's Yankees-Phillies game has been postponed because the Marlins just wrapped up a series on Sunday in Philadelphia. What would I do if I was involved with MLB? This is a long discussion (0:06). Now let's take a look at the NBA. What's going on with the bubble? Is it working? Well, Lou Williams tested the bubble investigation team. He went to Georgia for personal reasons, but was then caught at Magic City in Atlanta, breaking all the NBA bubble rules. This cannot happen (27:55). More bad MLB news: Justin Verlander could be out the rest of the season with a forearm injury. He says he will be reevaluated in a few weeks. Injuries were always going to happen. There was not enough time to get ready for the season (38:05). #waittosee --------------------------- Nominate Nothing Personal with David Samson for the People's Choice Podcast Awards: http://podcastawards.com/app/signup/ 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
