  1. The players don't share in the profits when the owners make money. Why should they share in the losses? That makes no sense. They have a CBA that they bargained for. Changing up the pay system is a no go.
  2. To really understand what the players think about the revenue-split idea, one needed only hear what MLBPA executive director Tony Clark told The Athletic: "A system that restricts player pay based on revenues is a salary cap, period. This is not the first salary-cap proposal our union has received. It probably won't be the last. That the league is trying to take advantage of a global health crisis to get what they've failed to achieve in the past -- and to anonymously negotiate through the media for the last several days -- suggests they know exactly how this will be received. None of this is beneficial to the process of finding a way for us to safely get back on the field and resume the 2020 season -- which continues to be our sole focus."
  3. Imagine thinking the worst part of having baseball in 2020 would be a playoff format...
  4. The owners cut the draft down to just 5 rounds this year. They are looking to get rid of dozens of MiLB teams. MLB owners will always care more about the money than fans do. As for the players, I think it's fine with them putting up a stink. Forcing them to have to isolate away from their families for 6 months is not something they collectively bargained for.
  5. Article on Benintendi’s struggles last season. https://www.rotoballer.com/analyzing-andrew-benintendis-2019-struggles/735221
  6. MLB going with a 5 round draft this year. Losing that 2nd rounder sucks really hard.
  7. In New England they don’t forget.
  8. Dierdorf was a dumbass who sounded like a dumbass. I actually hate guys like Fouts who are dumbasses that try to sound smart.
  9. Did Limbaugh ever do actual games? I thought he was just in studio for one week. I wouldn't call that a broadcaster.
  10. Have not watched one second of it. I didn't like the Bulls growing up. Jordan was the greatest of all time, but also a complete jerkoff. I think I'd find it irritating to watch.
  11. Jessica Mendoza was fine. She was better than Joe Morgan at the very least. The worst sports "broadcaster" all time was Dennis Miller. Yuck!
  12. ESPN's production has sucked forever. People blamed it on Jessica Mendoza, but it wasn't her fault at all.
  13. @Buster_ESPN At least one MLB ownership group has instructed its front office to cut its payroll in 2021. A lot of club execs expect others to follow. The youngest players (who are paid little, per CBA agreement) and the players with existing long-term deals won't necessarily be affected. @Marc_Normandin A Red Sox exec recently said it'd take three years for finances to normalize, and implied nothing players care about should be up for discussion until then. Laying some groundwork for a fight here.
  14. Um, that was NOT the "here comes the pizza" game.
  15. The Red Sox were live streaming that one a few weeks ago. I just want to watch game 5. It's more interesting to me and underrated.
  16. I don't think many Giants fans became Patriots fans just because the Pats had success. Remember that the Giants did still win Super Bowls in that period.
  17. Braves are saying they won't come back this year if they aren't in the East Division.
  18. Who are they playing?
  19. I actively root against hometown crowds if they are not my own.
  20. Hometowns have an enormous affect on refs and umps. Robots would mitigate this.
  21. https://www.overthemonster.com/2020/5/5/21247733/kbo-espn-korea-baseball-organization-casey-kelly
  22. NC Dinos fan. They have a great mascots and sharp unis. It's also where Eric Thames played.
  23. With Taiwan reported 0 new coronavirus cases for 6th day in a row. The CPBL will meet next Tuesday to review its closed doors policy. The #CPBL secretary general hinted they might start with allowing 200 fans into the game. Taiwan has its last domestic case back in April 12.
  24. Matt Stairs
  25. Probably since I've been up to bat way more than you. I also am constantly swinging for the fences. I'm no punch and judy hitter.
