Summary

Today's word of the day is 'pause' as in what MLB did to the Miami Marlins. After the coronavirus outbreak with the Marlins, MLB had to do something. The team is stuck in Philadelphia. The Yankees-Phillies series was postponed. Phillies players and staff have tested negative for the 2nd day. Why is MLB allowing the Marlins to all the heat from fans and media (0:06)? I had said that teams weren't throwing at the Houston Astros on purpose... welp, I was wrong. Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly made that clear last night by throwing a fastball right by Alex Bregman's head. Benches cleared. Words were exchanged. This needs to stop (21:32). Review - Pistorius (27:35). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me how likely an NBA bubble would be for next season given Michelle Robert's most recent comments (30:45). LeBron James says he will not initiate Zero Dark 30-23 this season. He would turn off social media and his cell phone in the past, but now because of the bubble things have changed significantly. Let's talk about players and their routines (38:12). #waittosee --------------------------- Nominate Nothing Personal with David Samson for the People's Choice Podcast Awards: http://podcastawards.com/app/signup/ 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

0:00.0	Paws. Paws, coca. We're pausing. Nothing personal word of the day is pause. Let me tell you what
0:17.6	a pauses. That's what a pauses. Now you can have a very serious pause when you're talking about
0:26.4	something serious when you're giving a speech or giving a lecture and you are trying to make a
0:30.9	point and you have a dramatic pause right as you're about to make the point. You can have a pause
0:41.2	caused by lack of recollection. I do that enough in personal. You're in the middle of a story and all
0:44.9	of a sudden. That's just a recollection pause. You can have a pause when you're listening to something
0:54.4	like a podcast or a music and you want to pause and rewind because you want to get the words
1:01.4	right that were just said or sung. So you can get the words right that were just said or sung.
1:13.6	So you can get the words right that were just said or sung. That's a rewind pause.
1:20.0	What's a pause when you're in the middle of a baseball season? Generally, it's a hurricane pause.
1:27.8	It can be a tragic pause. There's no injury pause. But there's now a COVID pause. That's why it's
1:40.0	the word of the day because Major League Baseball has paused the Marlin season. They had four positive
1:48.0	tests. Then they had 11 now. They've got 15 players who have tested positive. Their roster has been
1:53.1	decimated by COVID. It is an outbreak. So there is a pause. But guess who's not in a pause?
2:02.2	The front office of the Marlins. Do you know what they're doing? They are furiously signing players
2:08.3	right now. Just announced they signed Logan Forsythe who was released by the Phillies. They signed a
2:14.5	bunch of pictures released by the Reds. It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to trade for Mike
2:19.1	Fulton Nevich who played for the Braves and got designated after one bad outing.
2:28.9	Best picture on the team is tested positive. Starting catcher. Two starting outfielders starting
2:35.4	shortstop and obviously much more. But the pause will end on Monday. Will it? The Phillies are
2:44.9	the Marlins are paused in Philadelphia as we speak. Why am I worked up about this pause? Because I'm having
2:54.5	flashbacks to when I worked for the Marlins. I'm having flashbacks for what it's like when you're not
