    Pass on rebuttal.

    I liked the big rosters. Just limit the amount of pitchers that can pitch in a 9 inning game.

    The Red Sox weren't even on tv until 1948. Level of competition wasn't as high. I can see why people back then were confused. Plus lead in the gas and all.

    @EvanDrellich The meeting between MLB and the MLBPA has ended. Went close to 20 minutes. More TK. Shorter than a Simpsons episode without commercials. Got it.

    Anyway, I'd like to hear more about how the CBT shouldn't increase. @TechCrunch Apple TV+ to stream weekly Major League Baseball games in its first live sports deal

    And you could probably say the same thing about some other random rich guy who would like to buy a team.

    It's noticeable. I've been to enough MiLB games to know that the product is fun, but not as good as MLB.
  8. mvp 78
    Well have you? I certainly haven't.

    After how long? The difference between AAA and MLB is light years. It would be noticeable to even casual fans.
  10. mvp 78
    Yes.

    Chicks do dig the long ball. Lots of them. However, lots of chicks don't dig the long ball and like situational hitting. Bottom line Bye Bye Bye Felicia.

    Thad Ward (TJS surgery last season) is currently throwing a bullpen. Will be interesting to see him and Mata this year.

    If you replace a great owner with a terrible owner, the fans would notice. However, the overall impact on MLB would be minimal. Some teams would get a better owner than they have now.

    Most of these yachts are "owned" by LLC's. By using them as charters for a certain portion of the year, they are able to expense fuel from time to time.

    Uncertain tax position? That's what I felt every time I handed in a return to one of the partners at my firm.

    We watched Papi fight against the shift for almost his whole career. I didn't have a problem with it then. I don't have a problem with it now.
  17. mvp 78
    The shift has been around forever. Players just haven't learned to go the other way. Scoring will go up. Games will be longer.

    Some people have stated that the second the CBA is agreed upon, the owners are going to announce a streaming deal with HBO that's going to give them $$$.

    You can do better elsewhere, but you can also do far worse. The risk at losing money on an MLB team is next to zero since it hasn't happened yet. MLB teams are just status symbols for these old rich dudes. If you get rid of the 30 owners and replaced them with 30 other owners, I'm not sure anyone would notice the difference. If you replaced the 1200 players on each team's 40 man roster and replaced them with the next 1200 guys, the product would suffer immensely.

    This is assuming a full 16 years in the calculation.
  21. mvp 78
    It is. Annual return on investment for Schott was about 12%. ((Gain+Investment)/Investment)^(1/years)
  22. mvp 78
    The Dow for that specific time period. 1999 was prior to the first dot com bubble bursting.
  23. mvp 78
    Owners won't lose money. They'll just earn less this year. They are doing this to reduce operating costs in the future.

    She bought controlling interest for 11M in 1984. Sold for 67M in 1999.

    Until the value of owning a franchise reverses course, it's an investment that will pay out at some point.
