And the vast majority of us don't have season tickets and spend most of our time watching the Sox via tv. Much better value than going to the movies.
-
Do you have season tickets and go to every away game?
-
I'm not saying what the players should or should not be paid. That's up to them to bargain for it. I just think the pushback against the players making money is dumb.
-
Is entertained by watching someone work for 300 hours a summer. "They make too much money. Was better when they had to work second jobs in the offseason." Tom Cruise gets $75M for a 3 hour movie and nobody blinks an eye. Prorate that to 300 hours and you get $7.5B. That's close to double what the entire MLBPA made last season. The amount of entertainment we get vs the $$$ we spend from watching the Red Sox is an absolute steal.

Why? Owners are making more than ever. The players should too.
-
Everyone thinks they can count beans until the accountants show up.
-
The problem with MLB is that it's 3 hours and 2.5 hours are spent waiting for something to happen.
-
Jaws, Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, Alien, Back to the Future, ET, Jurassic Park, Rocky, Citizen Kane were all 2 hours. Seems like most famous movies are 2 hours or longer.
-
I prefer movies to be closer to the 90 minute mark. It's not that I don't enjoy 2+ hour movies, but I find movies to be more enjoyable when much of the fluff is taken out. I was watching the original TMNT movie last night with my kids and it was about 90 minutes. Nice and breezy.

"Sounds like a you problem."
-
I throw that one out the window because I believe it was forced on him by ownership.

@PeteAbe MLB: “We regret that, without a collective bargaining agreement in place, we must postpone the start of Spring Training games until no earlier than Saturday, March 5th."
-
Players' parents to provide snacks for each game.
-
Offseason could be 50% longer!
-
I don't think most owners want weekday daytime baseball.
-
Having Mondays off would make it easier to reschedule rain outs.

@baseballtwit John Valentin turns 55 today. In the six seasons from 1993–98, he compiled 30.8 WAR (+83 Rbat, +76 Rfield), 11th in baseball. He did that with four years as a primary SS, one as a primary 2B, and one as a primary 3B. WAR leaders 1993–98 via @Stathead Very underappreciated player.
-
And no games on Monday?
-
The season should be 150 games at most IMO. Early April and late October is not baseball weather in the Northeast.
-
I can't be mad if the worst thing Bloom does is try to sell high on a player. The Hunter Renfroe's of the world are fungible. That 1.8 fWAR shouldn't be a bear to replace.
-
^^^
-
Even taking a scrap heap flier on Renfroe worked out. I do have more faith in Bloom's decision process than DD's. I'm not sure if he believes Renfroe will take a step back, but that maybe his value is going to be lapped by his ARB $$$.
-
It's only a big risk if they are firm on not going over the cap this season.
-
Players with memorable postseason performances: Kiké JBJ Players with NO memorable postseason performances: Hunter Renfroe
-
It's definitely a change from the low risk low reward moves of the past few years.
