  • What I'm saying is as it pertains to Justin Turner, from my understanding and anything that I'm missing factually in terms of how things went down, please feel free to correct me.

  • What my understanding is that he went into the game.

  • He played the first seven innings at that particular moment in time, he was informed.

  • You get the part s.

  • So guess what?

  • In my vantage point, as a 12 year veteran in major league baseball, seven years with the Los Angeles Dodgers, I've been around these dudes, not just yesterday, not just the day before, not just a week before, but that night.

  • For the first seven minutes, we've been in the dugout.

  • We've been playing and stuff like that, and I'm two endings away from winning a World Series championship.

  • You know what you told me?

  • I can't play, all right?

  • I'm not playing, but to me, I'm gonna put on a mask.

  • And even if I have to engage in social distance and while doing so, I'm gonna be on that damn field, receiving that adulation, those applause and everything like that.

  • I'm gonna do that.

  • I'm gonna wear my mask.

  • I'm going to engage in social distance is my wife, who I was with.

  • I'm assuming that if it's me, it's both of us at that particular moment in time, which I think.

  • And I think they made that decision, there's no way on Earth.

  • And he was informed of that and taken out of the game and didn't inform his wife of what of what the situation was.

  • So she's out there on that field with him.

  • So okay, so she's fully aware of what's transpiring again.

  • I don't condone him taking off the mask and taking the team pictures with his mask off or anything like that.

  • But in terms off everything, you work for how the Dodgers have not won a World Series since 88.

  • How this moment in time, that level of adulation, you don't get to repeat it.

  • It may never happen again because it escaped you the last 32 years.

  • I'm saying to me, I don't give a damn.

  • I got to go on the field and stand away from people.

  • I'm not leaving that stadium.

  • That's why that's why Jessica, your point about it shouldn't have been up to him because too many people will be tempted, I think is right on the money.

  • Absolutely, And that's my thing is like, I I feel I mean, I want a gold medal in Olympics.

  • You're telling me I can't get that medal I get in the emotion in the moment.

  • I actually really, really well, the Justin Turner I put myself in his shoes.

  • I get why he went back out there.

  • Yes, it's selfish.

  • It's all those things.

  • Bigger picture.

  • But ultimately, Major League baseball should never have allowed Dodgers baseball Turner to make that decision, put him in a car and send him back to the hotel because that's the only way you're keeping him away from the field before you can ask the question, I just wanna ask questions again.

  • He's taken away.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • He's taken away in the seventh inning, and he's distant and apart from the players.

  • And then the next time he was seen was an hour later, after the game was over on our after the game was over and it had already been decided, the season was over and they won the World Series.

  • Am I correct in saying that?

  • Okay, go ahead.

  • According to the information according to Different.

  • That's all.

  • By the way, he also took off his mask for E.

  • By the way, I understand that, too.

  • If you take every piece of behavior, say, Well, look, I'm not breathing on anyone right around me.

  • I'm just taking off my mask.

  • We're outside because it's the volume of air, right?

  • Per particle of the disease.

  • So that's why outside, so much safer than inside masks have been extremely effective.

  • And yet, Okay, just for one second, I'll take it down.

  • No.

  • If you suspect you have the virus, you probably shouldn't do that.

  • We're all supposed to walk around with that suspicion, right?

  • That's how we keep ourselves safe, just in case.

  • But when you know what it's been confirmed through to test, you got it right Now get the hell away from people.

What I'm saying is as it pertains to Justin Turner, from my understanding and anything that I'm missing factually in terms of how things went down, please feel free to correct me.
