Unvaccinated Players

[L54]

Is anyone surprised a thread about the vaccine status of players didn't follow the rules of bluejaysmessageboarddotcom ?

Disrespectful posts should not be allowed, that's fine. However respectful discussion of whether baseball players should be mandated to take the vaccine is an issue which will effect the Blue Jays W/L? Fair game I would hope.

 

Absolutely not. Discussion of "should" is the big problem. This is where the vast majority of disagreements happen, whether or not something "should" be the case, because "should" by its very nature is an opinion, and that's where things get heated. This thread NEEDS to be limited to facts, not opinions, or it will go completely off the rails (what limited rails it has...) Also, now the word "should" just doesn't seem like a real word anymore.

I don’t think there’s much disrespect really. It’s typically just directed at Jim. Take that for what you will

FFS guys. Ignore your goddamn base instincts to argue about s*** like this PLEASE.

 

I do not want to have to close this thread, I think it has value, but I will.

 

Just shut this tire fire of a thread, down. Have mercy, please! For yourself and others.

The New York vaccine mandate has been lifted, so Yankees and Mets players can play at home.

[FantasyNewb]

The misinformation in this thread is enough to shut it down.

Good, now the unvaxxed players will likely stay that way and won't be able to come to Toronto

[Spanky99]

I see my post got deleted lol. I thought we were past all this. Guess not.

 

Atleast alternative options are available now.

 

Welcome...

Though the lifting of the New York mandate is unofficial, it is certainly not misinformation. It's being reported on all reputable news outlets.

I wasn't referring to your post in the least. Other previous posts.

I’m truly going out on a limb and don’t know, but I’m assuming there’s no major election this year in Canada?

Aaron Judge really about to be an idiot and miss out on 90 games worth of service time & pay.

 

Mods r lame

 

Who made these f***ing rules anyway

True, all's good when you blast a sieve.

Ontario is electing a new Premier in May.

Not federally. Trudeau just announced a big deal with the NDP that extends until 2025 and will keep him in power until then even with a minority government. The Ontario provincial election will be interesting though.

Is it like the US where the Feds kind of suggests things, but it’s up to the states for mandates? So in this case Ontario that decides on the mandates?

Yes. They're lifted. Trudeau and Co. deal with the borders.

[connorp]

Yes. They're lifted. Trudeau and Co. deal with the borders.

 

Ah. So the rule that’s stopping players is you can’t cross the border? Nothing to do with the local mandate?

[connorp]

Sorry I’m Googling so I don’t keep asking questions lol

[connorp]

So yeah, it’s the Fed. Got it now

Correct.

Yes and it's the same for Canadians and Jays players, which is often ignored by Yanks fans.

[Grant77]

redacted.

 

This isn't the place to discuss that. Politicians do what they do and the Blue Jays look like they will benefit from the consequences.

Unless they lost out on Ray for it and Gausman goes back to his AL East days. And Conforto beasts for someone else

Wet blanket thread crossover

We may find out when the Mariners come to town. The advantage in home games will probably be bigger than any difference between the two pitchers in my opinion.

[L54]

It’s actually a joke that some teams are going to come play without their best lineups.

[Laika]

We'll see what happens. I'm thinking it won't be that severe. Something might give...
