Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger has tested positive for COVID-19, per MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer (via Twitter). He has been placed on the injured list, while Donovan Walton has been recalled to claim his roster spot, the team announced.
With Haniger out for probably at least five days, the pressure should alleviate somewhat from the young duo of Julio Rodriguez and Jarred Kelenic, both of whom have started slowly at the plate. Abraham Toro, meanwhile, is the likeliest to move into the starting lineup while Haniger is away. Toro is at the hot corner today, with Eugenio Suarez moving to designated hitter. Haniger has started six games in right field and two at designated hitter for the M’s so far this season. He, too, is off to a slow start, slashing .176/.200/.471 over 35 plate appearances.
Walton, 27, figures to be back and forth from Triple-A a bit this season, as the lefty-swinging utility player has an option remaining. He has appeared with the Mariners in each of the past three seasons, but never seeing more than 69 plate appearances in a given year. In total, Walton has stepped to the dish 92 times and slashed .196/.260/.315 while appearing at second base, third base, shortstop, and left field.

The conspiracy theorist’s name is Senger, not Sanger.
According to him, Xi Jinping orchestrated the Covid virus and the lockdown response. Here’s how incredibly unlikely his theory is.
In 2019, China’s GDP grew by 5.95%. In 2020, it only grew by 2.30%, a 3.65% decline, That’s a massive loss in the country with the second-highest GDP in the world.
And if they were going to do this deliberately, why in the world would they time it right before the Chinese New Year, an enormous tourism money-maker for the Chinese economy?
Read: “Chinese New Year is disrupted for a third year: And the economy is feeling the pinch” in The Economist: econ.st/37YTAxW
Their movie theater industry alone lost $836 million in the first week of the Chinese New Year 2020 over the previous week in 2019 because all 70,000 theaters in China were closed. That’s just one week’s loss in one sector of the economy.
You know what’s the biggest hoax? The nonsense that the virus is a hoax.
The lockdowns were a rational response to a new virus that was killing people at an alarming rate. In Italy in mid-March 2020, the death rate from Covid infections was nearly 50% (46.2% on March 17). Did you not see any of the news coverage at the time that showed ERs full of intubated people and rooms full of coffins?
The lockdowns here in New York, combined with social distancing and masks, drove down the death rate from 1,026 on April 17, 2020 to 18 deaths on July 21, 2020.
Do yourself a favor, man. Unplug yourself from the conspiracy theory circuit. It’s being driven by two types of people: self-serving con artists knowingly deceiving people, and deluded crackpots. Listening to either type is not good for you.
Fever Pitch Guy
I think most agree it was an accidental lab-leak, and certainly China was guilty of covering it up.
Poster formerly known as . . .
It’s quite possible that it was inadvertently released from Wuhan’s virology lab. It’s also possible that it passed to humans from the wild animals sold in the Wuhan wet market, most likely bats or pangolins.
In any case, there’s a big difference between an accidental leak followed by a cover-up, and a deliberate release of the virus into China’s own population.
If they were intent on starting a pandemic, it would make more political sense to release it in an adversary’s country. Then the world would be blaming their adversaries instead of the Chinese. Senger’s conspiracy theory is absurd on its face.
Dunedin020306
Fink Ployd – The problem with your argument is you are using rational thinking and common sense. The Godless leaders of a country like China, steeped in Communism which for many years legally mandated couples to only have one child (because of their burgeoning population) and thereby forcing unwanted abortion on millions of people, don’t use such thought processes. The leaders of that country likely have a worldview and value system markedly different than most Americans. So, do I think COVID started in a China laboratory? Yes, it is extremely likely. Did China release said virus onto its’ own people, maybe to lower their high population? Yes, I think it is definitely possible, but I don’t know whether it was probable.

Actually I had chickenpox as a little baby so the chickenpox vaccine was not needed for me because it did not exist when I went to kindergarten. By the way I survived my bout with the chickenpox. And people used to have pox parties in the 70s.
As for Covid I’m through with this nonsense, the current variant is basically cold symptoms

If you had chickenpox when you were a child, you’re carrying the virus that can give you shingles, an extremely painful disease.
Never heard of pox parties. What were they?
BTW, the fact that you posted was a strong clue that you survived chickenpox.
And nobody expected you to get a vaccination if it didn’t exist at the time. The chickenpox vaccine wasn’t available in the U.S. until the ’80s.
The point is: Americans have never been anti-vaccine until this recent mass-stupidity.

I’ve had it twice, one put me in the hospital for two days, the second was like a cold. My wife had it twice, the first is three months after me, but a week AFTER she got the vaccine. Both of my boys had it twice. Not every person reacts the same. What I cannot figure out, though, is why there are so many to attack for political reasons but I never hear anyone complain that CHINA did this to the world??

Of the 25 most populated countries in the world, we have the 2nd highest death rate behind Brazil. What the hell did China have to do with that? Did they make us stupid? Are you kidding me?

Personally, I do blame the Chinese — either for hosting those disgusting and dangerous wet markets where infected wild animals are routinely sold, or for letting the virus escape from a virology lab. But what good does blaming them do? The horse is out of the barn. Blaming the one who left the barn door open won’t get it back.
What the Chinese can’t be blamed for is the mass-stupidity deliberately circulated in our country for political reasons that led to hundreds of thousands of Americans dying needlessly. That’s on us.

“Per square mile”?? Really? The United States is third in population, and you certainly can’t trust the numbers coming from China, who is #1 in population. India went on full lockdown.

Per square mile is a valid statement bro

To answer your question Richard, yes, 3.8 BILLION people know it is real and deadly. Perhaps you didn’t notice the million people and still climbing that died in the US from the virus. Perhaps you didn’t read the accounts of the six million long term Covid victims that will NEVER be the way they were before they got infected. The world has lost close to six million people, but I guess they meant nothing to you and continue denying reality all you want until you become the victim. Perhaps then you will show a little compassion and empathy for others that lost family members to the virus.

Everything starts somewhere, doesn’t it? The problem is not that it starts somewhere. The problem is that it hasn’t stopped here. And that is totally on us, not the Chinese.
Fever Pitch Guy
hayzee – Yes and no.
Yes we have failed to come up with a vaccine that protects and prevents the spread of Covid, similar to measles/mumps/rubella/polio. Is that our fault? I don’t know. I’m not a scientist or medical expert, and perhaps it simply can’t happen in less than 10-15 years.
You can’t fault us for trying everything else. Masks don’t work, social distancing is often impossible, lockdowns don’t work, and the government is unwilling to seal the borders – in fact it doesn’t even want to keep the illegals out. So basically at some point we just decided to let it run it’s course, knowing full well the vulnerable and unlucky few will pay the price for that decision.
I mean what else can we do? We can’t all become Bubble Boys. The Chinese government is truly the only villain here, not for allowing the leak but for refusing to acknowledge and contain it before it got out of hand.
Poster formerly known as . . .
Sorry, FPG, but there’s a lot of inaccuracy in your comment.
The Covid vaccines are more effective than the mumps vaccine:
2 doses of MMR are—
97% effective for measles (range: 67%–100%)
88% effective for mumps (range: 32%–95%)
cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/mmr/hcp/about.html
Note the range of effectiveness from 32% to 95% with a median effectiveness of 88%.
The annual flu vaccines are considerably less effective than the Covid vaccines, but I still get one every year. So far, if the government is tracking me with nanotechnology, they don’t seem particularly interested in where I am or what I’m doing. (Yes, sarcasm.)
There’s no problem with the vaccines. The problem is that President Trump (who’s been vaccinated, btw) told us the virus was no worse than the flu and would be completely gone in two weeks, so people who believed him grossly underestimated the danger of contracting the virus. Why did he do that? IMO, he was afraid that the truth would spook the stock market and a downturn in the economy would cost him votes.
Masks do work if they’re the right kind and properly worn. Why do you think surgeons and nurses wear them in an operating theater? They’re not a fashion statement. or a political statement. They don’t wear them to identify themselves as “libs.”
And, again, what did President Trump do? He mocked mask-wearing and held indoor super-spreader rallies full of unmasked fools. He politicized the virus and encouraged childish, manipulable suckers to resist all common-sense precautions and declare them violations of liberty. And then elected sycophants dutifully echoed him.
Lockdowns do work. The lockdowns here in New York, combined with social distancing and masks, drove down the death rate from 1,026 deaths on April 17, 2020 to 18 deaths on July 21, 2020. There were no vaccines then. The Pfizer vaccine wasn’t authorized for emergency use until December 11, 2020.
The difficulty came in balancing the need for safety and the need for commerce, both of which are necessary to keep people alive. When the death rate declined enough, it became possible to reopen businesses.
I might add that the people who worked in essential businesses like grocery stores and pharmacies should be rewarded by society for risking their lives, often for crappy wages. I think the City of New York should have a concert in Central Park celebrating those people. They’re too easily forgotten.
The Chinese are responsible for releasing the virus into the global population. They’re not responsible for the reckless and stupid response in the United States. South Korea, a far more densely populated nation than the U.S. with a population of over 51 million has suffered 21,092 total deaths from Covid. We’ve suffered 1,015,441 Covid deaths so far: 48 times as many as the South Koreans.
The United States has suffered by far the most Covid deaths of any nation on Earth, and the only reason is that vaccines, masks and social distancing were politicized as infringements on liberty, and lies about the vaccines were circulated, describing them as ineffective, dangerous or — most idiotic of all — a conspiracy to implant tracking devices. And the people responsible are too morally bankrupt or too ignorant and delusional to feel shame.
BTW, if I may indulge in an extreme non sequitur — Happy Easter (or Passover, as the case may be).
Fever Pitch Guy
Fink – Happy Easter to you as well.
Perfectly honest, I’ve totally avoided these Covid threads until now because it really has been discussed and debated ad nauseum online and offline. So I appreciate your reply, but my response will be brief … especially with Easter Dinner almost ready.
When you say “effective”, what is your definition of that? Yes I believe vaccines help reduce the severity of Covid, but they obviously don’t prevent people from getting Covid or transmitting it.. Plenty of triple-vaccinated people have gotten Covid. Those other vaccines I mentioned actually DO protect people from GETTING the virus, do they not? Big difference. And yes I specifically didn’t include flu shots because they are effective only on certain strains.
Same thing with masks. Do they help? Yes. Do they protect you from getting Covid? No. Plenty of people who wear masks religiously have gotten Covid. I’m sure you know the virus can be transmitted through the eyes and ears, not just the nose and mouth. Properly fitting N95’s are the ones that help the most, cloth masks are somewhat useless.
As for Trump, he shouldn’t even be in the discussion anymore. He’s been gone 15 months, and he’s done a complete about-face by acknowledging he was totally wrong with his early views on Covid. The fact he’s been promoting the vaccine is evidence of that.
As for US having the most deaths, totally wrong if you go by the more appropriate “Deaths per million inhabitants”.. The US isn’t even in the Top 15, and that’s not even taking into consideration so many other countries that are intentionally misrepresenting their numbers by under-reporting.

Do you really want to compare the United States to countries like Peru, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Croatia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, etc.? The U.S. is the wealthiest country in the world with 30% of the world’s wealth. The CDC is the foremost disease control and prevention agency in the world. Those countries have nothing like our resources.
You state that plenty of people who wear masks religiously have gotten Covid. Is that based on anecdotal testimony?
“The current research results have shown that COVID‐19 is mainly transmitted via droplets in the air. There is a potential risk of airborne transmission in an indoor environment with poor ventilation. The distance of droplet transmission can extend up to 4 m. Based on this data, the recommended social distancing range of 1–2 m (CDC, 2020; WHO, 2020) may not necessarily guarantee the epidemic prevention. Therefore, wearing mask in public is essential as its effectiveness has already been well established by the current studies. For exhalation isolation, both surgical and N95 masks are shown to be effective in reducing the spread of respiratory diseases, but the former is more accessible and comfortable to wear compared to the latter.” – National Institutes of Health, National Center for Biotechnology Information

And, yes, President Trump absolutely belongs in the conversation when we’re talking about the reasons for our nation’s dismal record in dealing with the virus. He instigated the mindset that led to reckless behavior by politicizing a disease from day one. The mentality he encouraged still prevails among millions of Americans.
I unequivocally give him credit for Operation Warp Speed. But his public encouragements to actually get the shot were conspicuous in their absence. He had the proverbial bully pulpit at his disposal. After ordering the program to fund creation of the vaccines, why didn’t he promote their use? Because he knew the QAnon nuts didn’t want to hear it. He’s even been booed at recent rallies for speaking affirmatively about the vaccines. He knows his audience. He could’ve saved lives, but he wouldn’t risk mutiny by his base.

Everyone has the chance of catching it. The vaccine reduces the severity of symptoms; it doesn’t prevent getting it.
