Justin Turner tested Positive for Covid. Does this mean that everyone involved with the series has to be quarantined? I hope nothing but the best for him, his family, his teammates and their families. This is a potential "superspreader" event. How did he get the virus inside the bubble?
It means they will all be tested and yes, they should be quarantined

Probably the most boring World Series in baseball history.
Seeing Nick Anderson implode in record setting fashion yet continue to be called on game after game by a team taking platooning pitchers to new extremes is pretty wild IMO.

And anyhow Arozarena single-handedly excludes the series from being most boring.

Mookie stealing home.

Mookie making amazing catches.

Kershaw pitching like a true HOF'er.

The rays competing and winning that 8-7 game in game 4 and in general testing the Dodgers rather than rolling over for them.

"Boring."

I get the theory and the use of analytics, but you can run it solely on numbers. What Cash should have done when the numbers said switch him was go to the mound and actually see how Snell felt. As a Dodgers fan I'm glad it happened, but he should have at least left him in for the rest of the inning, up until that point Snell had held Betts, Seager, and Turner to nothing.

Agree. It's stupid to ignore analytics, but it may be just as stupid to rely solely on analytics. These are still human beings playing and they will often step up in situations where analytics say otherwise.

I forget which talking head I heard say it and it's obviously not quite this simple, but he said "Before you make a move, think to yourself 'Is this what my opponent is hoping I do right now?' if the answer is yes...don't do it".

If I've ever seen a World Series where there was a player on the losing team that deserved MVP, it's this one with Arozarena. I almost wanted to change the channel every time he came to the plate because I knew he was going to do something to the Dodgers that I wasn't going to like. lol

So, Justin Turner was told to stay away....and he arrogantly refused when instructed by MLB security???

That is the statement released by MLB.

We all piled on Rudy Gobert, back when nobody knew a damn thing.

Turner deserves the same backlash that Gobert got.

He is probably going to be suspended and fined as well.

I think the doggies should be stripped of the championship. Turner’s behavior was absolutely unforgivable...

Turner may well be suspended for his actions. They put many people at risk.

Officially the lowest-rated World Series in history.

Pretty surprising, considering it had the #2 US Media market involved.

This is ignorant, because what he did after the Championship had nothing to do with the Dodgers Championship

If any one should have titles stripped it should be Houston

I will actually go one step further and say the doggies should vacate their 1988 championship as well.
