Or Joc. Or Justin.Alexander is going to monitor his glucose levels and follow common sense guidelines to remain healthy whether there is baseball this summer or not. And he would whether there was a worldwide coronavirus outbreak or not. But since there is, he's got some thinking to do before lacing up the spikes prematurely.While the 30-year-old Alexander isn't particularly worried about it -- -- the Los Angeles organization is careful about these types of things, and always up on the latest science [url=https://www.azdiamondbacksgear.com/arizona-diamondbacks-jersey/randy-johnson-jersey]Randy Johnson Jersey[/url] . If there is a clubhouse in baseball where a player can expect the strictest safety measures to be adopted, it's the one at 1000 Vin Scully Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012. The immunocomprised reporter is yours truly. I'm a kidney transplant recipient, who if all is well will celebrate being a 30-year survivor on September 22. Which is Tommy Lasorda's 93rd birthday. Coincidence? I think not.Like all transplant patients, I've employed a [url=https://www.azdiamondbacksgear.com/arizona-diamondbacks-jersey/deven-marrero-jersey]Deven Marrero Jersey[/url] sort of social distancing regularly since that bright sunny Saturday in 1990 (the Dodgers beat the Giants 6-3, Dennis Cook over Mike LaCo s, with three hits including a homer from Juan Samuel). My friends and family know the drill. If they're sick, even in the slightest, they let me know and I don't go see them. If I'm sick, I don't go anywhere. I wash my hands a lot. And I take medication to suppre s my immune system. Two medications, actually. And I never mi s a dose.To be precise, I should note that the term, "immunocompromised" refers to those with a literallycompromised immune system. In my case, the immune system is suppre sed intentionally to trick the body not to attack an object which wasn't, shall we say, installed at the factory.According to my doctor, Saman Lashkari, M.D., a type 1 diabetic such as Alexander "is not cla sified as immunocompromised by definition, but is at higher risk of infection. Not all diabetics are the same. Some may be at more risk than others."The Dodgers also have a Hodgkin lymphoma survivor to be concerned about. An important one, in . Dr. Lashkari tells me that a Hodgkins patient is also "at higher risk, but if now cured should be [url=https://www.azdiamondbacksgear.com/arizona-diamondbacks-jersey/alex-avila-jersey]Alex Avila Jersey[/url] fine," depending on the amount of time out from treatment. Roberts has been cancer-free since 2013.Scroll to ContinueFrom my perspective, the regular media scrum with the skipper four hours before first pitch when the club is at home should be cancelled until further notice.In fact, I have some additional thoughts on the topic.Here is what I recommend the club - and by extension, Major League Baseball - implement as a plan for media participation in 2020. At least in 2020:1. Daily testing of every reporter, photographer, videographer, sound technician, etc., at the pre s entrance by the top deck turnstile prior to admittance [url=https://www.azdiamondbacksgear.com/arizona-diamondbacks-jersey/kole-calhoun-jersey]Kole Calhoun Jersey[/url] . You want distance between the players and the media? Thats a good 700 feet right there.2. No mask, no entry, no exceptions.3. Social distancing in the cramped mid-century-built Dodger Stadium pre s box is impo sible, unle s you cut the entrants in half, and even then itll be difficult. The Petco Park facility, opened in 2004, to give you an idea, is easily twice the size as Vin Scully Pre s Box, and thats with a considerably smaller group of local media.4. Cut the pre s box occupancy by two thirds. Masks must be worn start to finish. Or more accurately, entry to exit.5. Allow the media to sit in the loge level - - spread out by more than six feet. How does 15 feet grab you? Extension cords aplenty.6. No media in the windowle s clubhouse this year. Period. The interview room below the field level is going to be dicey as well, but should suffice for the run-of-the-mill weeknight affair with the Padres in town. For more important contests, set up a table with [url=https://www.azdiamondbacksgear.com/arizona-diamondbacks-jersey/patrick-corbin-jersey]Patrick Corbin Jersey[/url] a mic for the players (who are to appear one at a time only) and folding chairs for the media, on the field after the game. Rea se s for the postseason. And find out if champagne cures COVID-19.7. Sorry Rick Monday, Alanna Rizzo, etc., but no closeup interviewing of players for you. Maybe next year. Alanna in the dugout during games? Thats out too, face covering notwithstanding.8. Take special care with Dodgers Alexander and Roberts.That's a good place to start. I imagine the Dodgers have thought of all of these things, and probably a number of others.While its not my preference to sit in the second deck of an almost-empty ballpark to cover the great game of baseball in person, I think itll be fascinating. And thats my plan, if the hosts will allow it.And remember, glove conquers all. But a mask helps. . [/quote]    Allega file   Clicca qui per inserire la tua firma nel messaggio.
