Gerund

I pride myself on being able to speak the English language.

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.

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.

I think we all get tested and were negative.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

And now isolate them because we have the information.

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?

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.

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.

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

And you wanna find him or suspend them later on?

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

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.

Someone has had too much to drink, right?

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

They wanna be there for the get in the car.

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

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

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.
