Clearly, I know when I say something, I know I'm very, very clear.

I recall being on the air yesterday and saying, I don't condone him going their teammates.

I don't condone him taking off his mask when he's around Those teammates.

I got people texting me Now in the sport of major league baseball.

Your role, Stephen, that you're wrong.

I am not wrong and I don't give a damn if you all think that I am.

The fact of the matter is I'm not telling him to go around people.

I'm not telling him to avoid engaging in social distancing.

I'm not telling him to take off his mask.

What I am addressing is his A will is his willingness or his insatiable appetite to go out on that field sec, separate and apart from people and feel the adulation for something that he has earned.

After you spent 77 innings around everybody, that doesn't mean you have to go.

Listen, we are doing this show right now.

We get tested.

I think we all get tested and were negative.

There we go.

But the hell you never know what could happen.

Guess what we're doing way ain't pump elbows yet.

We ain't been in each other space, but we working with each other.

I'm saying like this you're in a stadium with all of that space.

You can't go out and just receive adulation.

And Oh, by the way, when we talk about major league baseball, this is the This is the point of this discussion.

Should Justin Turner be punished.

And what I'm saying is, if you're telling me he should be punished because he was around David Roberts, Fine.

I'm not arguing that he's around teammates.

Fine.

I'm talking about his willingness toe leave that office, the medical personnel wherever he was with the team doctors and go out on that field and be a part of the celebration.

And I'm talking about major league baseball.

The nerve of you.

You sit up there and you don't know where these positive or not.

So it doesn't mandate that he gets removed from the game, But you're going to remove it from the game in the seventh.

And you know how many balls the MLB has dropped figuratively since this whole covert 19 situation took place.

They should have been on top of it from day one.

But we're gonna wait until this dude is removed in the eighth inning off a World Series game.

And then come and say to him, You can't be a part of the celebration here is that you can't be a part of something.

It's a matter of information.

Information in the absence of the vaccination is how we fight the virus.

Okay, once you know, someone has it contact tracing.

Who else were they in touch with?

Do they have it?

And now isolate them because we have the information.

The virus is there.

Keep it there, wait for it to die.

And then you come back out and rejoin society for lack of a better word.

If you're what you're talking about with something like beforehand they didn't know then they knew baseball knew he hasn't get him out of here, right?

He said no, I'm not getting out of here.

I'm going on the field to celebrate with my teammates.

If they had done something even like this, Alright.

We'll have a cadre of whatever of security people around you keeping 20 ft distance or whatever so that you can go on the field.

But you're gonna keep a great distance because, after all, he'd have Thio transport himself to somewhere else anyway, right?

And do something like that in a extremely controlled way.

I could see the logic of that.

Hey, it's the World Series and the risks are basically zero.

If everyone really keeps their distance facemask, even if you know he has it right, that's not what happened.

He went out onto the field, took off his mask, kissed his wife, sat there with his mask on, removed it for the picture.

Right, come on, at a certain point, that za level off off, not off unserious nous.

And that's the reason we're in the position where and that's where and that's where I'm not.

I can't speak for him because I'm not in this situation.

But if I were, that is where the resentment would come in when we say unserious nous.

No, it happened to be very serious to him because he's thinking about all of these years.

He put in that work for this moment and you can't get that moment back now.

I'm not saying that's more important than getting ill or anything like that.

But to him, that moment was very, very important.

I'm not again.

We're not talking about him taking off this mess.

I know he was wrong about that.

I said that yesterday.

And you wanna find him or suspend them later on?

That's fine.

You got major League Baseball.

We got all our season to do.

That is 24 hours, a little bit more than that removed from him, one of the world's.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm just saying Major league baseball talking about suspect.

They they wanna be in the news to cover their own, you know, because of what they let me just say.

Here's an analogy.

Please, someone has.

Someone has had too much to drink, right?

But But there's a graduation.

Their kids graduate.

Whatever it is, there's someplace they wanna be, something they've earned.

They wanna be there for the get in the car.

But damn it, they're going to go.

And and even though they're drunk, it wasn't their fault.

Someone spike their drink.

They wanna be there.

They drive their car there.

There's no accident.

They still drove drunk.

In other words, it's still reckless, even if no one else gets Covic.

It's reckless.

I'm out.

I'm out, I guess.

Questions.

And guess what.

And guess what.

They get five or punished.

But if they hit somebody, yeah, it would be more severe.

Oh, so if someone else has Cove, it is a result of their contact with Justin Turner.

Okay, there.

According to you, there should be a severe punishment.

Well, I think that if you did that, if you did something like that on purpose and knowingly, that's front, I get where you're coming from.

But what I'm saying to you is this.

Those players were also made aware off his situation.

Well, it's obvious.

Excuse me?

We think so.

We think they were all That's what That's what we were told.

E don't not even when there is a part of wearing a mask.

Everything it is about the person you're in contact with because it can be a deadly disease or there could be lasting effects we don't know about yet.

We don't know a lot about it.

Still, that's part of it.

But the much, much bigger part is not that I give it to Molly.

She gives it to you.

It's that I give it to Mali and who?

And if she doesn't know she has it or even she does.

She could give it to other people, and they could give it to other people.

And that's how it spreads on affect the most vulnerable among us.

But let me just say one thing that real quick.

The reason we're still wearing masks and unable to is because we close too late and open too early.

It's made the situation worse.

Okay, Max, I understand that.

So here's the constellation.

Okay.

Find Justin Turner suspended.

Make sure you find the Dodgers confiscated draft pick for all you want to.

What's major league baseball gonna do to itself is well for setting the stage for all of this because they dropped the ball too.

They've done a lot.

I'm just saying they've done a lot.

They got their money, they got they got some ratings, you know, they salvage the sport.

They finished the world.

Siri's.

They did all of this.

But you know how many balls they dropped?

Listen, we're flu season right now, okay?

We're flu season right now.

We got We got sports being played, it was basketball being played.

Then baseball just finished.

Football is still being played.

People are taking risks every single day.

And there's no bubble in the National Football League.

Okay, so there's a lot of things that there's a lot of things.

There's a lot of things to bring in the question.

I know Molly wants Molly.

You want to see the final thing?

I'll say is I'll agree with you about this.

Let's wait till all the information comes out.
