A couple of young PGA golfers missed a tournament or two since the return of Golf. Both are back playing now.
I think its time to start the playoffs and call it a good season with lots of surprises.

It should be categorized as “postponed” so there’s a chance it could be made up later in the season or, if the Marlins can’t/won’t, it should be changed to a forfeit so the Orioles get a rare victory.
Also, every team was allowed a 60-man roster from which they could select 30 for active duty. Therefore, these infected players ought to be placed on the specially-designated list for COVID infectees and replaced by players still on the 60-man roster.
I fully expect that if the season gets to the end, there will be some teams that resemble AAA or even AA teams but the games should go on, maybe with a few delays, postponements and forfeits. Baseball did this during WWI and WW2. You played with the healthy players you had.
MLB agreed to expand the playoffs this year from 12 to 18 teams (30-team circuit). It would seem they need to finish the season to get the tv revenue they crave.
