how much teams have lost and the owners have lost and also just not having the visibility of major league baseball while and the n.h.l. and a couple of other sports continue to play on at the same time player hopes paramount as much as everyone involved wants baseball to play it's not worth anyone dying over so it's a tricky line that baseball is trying to tow and also that we everyone involved hopes they can get there a full season without anything catastrophic happening it's just hard to know how possible that really is i think the main thing is making sure and listening to that the demi ologists of the marlins outbreak was 1st reported major league baseball's initial plan was to just shut them down for 2 days the same players who were healthy players to baltimore well today for you know it's less time than the virus cities to incubate and eventually they changed it to be shut down for one full week but most epidemiologists are saying if you want to really get this fire's out of there out of the marlins clubhouse you have to shut the marlins down for 2 weeks major league baseball is guilty of tr

that's eight teams involved, 33 games over one week postponed and i don't think major league baseballone more of these. i think if something happens on the west coast and we know the hot spots in california, texas, arizona, if there is one more outbreak in major league baseball, i think as much as they want to get the season in and the tv money is everything to major league baseball, i don't think they would be able to pull it off if there is another outbreak. >> i suspect you're right. espn is reporting the commissioner is blaming the league and players for not doing a better job of following covid-19 protocols but he made the call to let these teams play and they're not using what's called the bubble. should baseball, christina, follow the lead of basketball, hockey and soccer and forced all the players to be in a bubble instead of traveling from city to city? >> wolf, they should have done that absolutely and if not one bubble, maybe a couple many bubbles. never said the word bubble in my life. maybe you would have had something in new york, maybe washington. maybe one out west, on
