As long as our stopper doesn't get sick today...let's hope Porcello hasn't been near Benintendi and Crew.

Did none of the Sox get flu shots? People seem to call everything the flu now. Everyone has been tested negative for flu so a flu shot wasn't going to help.

From what I've heard and read, some of the players have been diagnosed with the flu and others have not, just "flu-like symptoms". Still, if guys are getting sick in droves then I'm going to guess it could be the same bug hitting them but causing varying symptoms. Not a doc so I may be wrong. In any case, danr's question is a reasonable one. Do they get flu shots? I'd be surprised if they weren't contractually required to get them (unless they can't for medical reasons). Don't need anti-vaxxers in the club house!! :-) Edit: Should have googled this before posting. I didn't realize that there are now pretty good tests for flu so maybe 2 (or more) different bugs are going through this clubhouse. Quite a coincidence though. You'd think somebody would get both of them at the same time which I'd suspect would be a much more serious condition. Anyway, still wondering if they get the shots.

They are simply guesses at what flu strains will be around 3-4 months in the future and they're usually wrong. The people pushing the flu shots don't usually mention that though. There definitely has never been cases of a flu shot preventing some kind of non-flu sickness though.

I did a quick google on that and didn't find it although I did see a reference to a study that indicated that even being vaccinated for the wrong strain helps.

An aside: I worked in a hospital for 34 years (not as a care provider). When flu season came employees were not required to get a shot. However, if you didn't, you wore a surgical mask all day every day throughout flu season. That rule was not limited to care givers. Even if you worked in accounting or IT or the morgue or were in a completely different building away from patients, you got the shot or you wore the mask. The medical people where I worked seemed to think the flu shot was very important.

I don't want to derail the thread more so I'm bowing out.

And Selsky in CF with two far better CF options in Benintendi and Betts in the corners. /sigh

JF was asked a few days ago and said that everyone got flu shot in the fall.
Considering he played a 1/3 of a baseball game after throwing up in the clubhouse, Benintendi just locked up AL ROY, right?
ADD: just turned on pregame to hear Lyons say CF is Selsky's most natural position... which is definitely the first I've heard of this.

So up or behind, does Kimbrel pitch today "to get some work in?"

Playing Selsky in CF is bat**** crazy. But Betts and Benintendi are so delicate that they cannot handle changing positions for a game or two.

Steve Selsky is what is meant when it's said that this team has no depth.

Steve Selsky is what is meant when it's said that this team has no depth. Well, he's behind JBJ, Betts, Benintendi, and Holt on the depth chart for CF. Maybe even behind Chris Young. It's just Farrell who is confused.

Nice double by Sandy, and then Marco drives him in to tie it up. Side note: The world needs someone to photoshop the sunglasses on Sandy, he already has the beard.

Of course it would never happen, but I wonder if this team would be better off with Hernandez as the everyday 3B and Sandoval disappeared

Hernandez doesn't deserve an error for that.
