  1. https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2020/06/05/report-mlb-owners-want-a-48-game-season/ 48 game season? Why not just make it 60 and use day/night double headers? Day baseball could be great advertisement to kids stuck at home. Make it fun. Let players be mic'ed up. You can have a kid centric physics lesson, plant care with the groundskeeping crew, math, etc. Could be an interesting idea.
  2. There’s a better thread for some of these comments maybe.
  3. Reminds me of Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Owners don't see the negative trajectory this sport has.
  4. If the owners are going to lose money this year, wouldn't it be in their best interests for highly paid players to sit out? Why would they care?
  5. What we could be missing: @BSmile 10 Years Ago Today: Detroit #Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga is robbed of a perfect game vs. the Cleveland Guardians after a blown call by umpire Jim Joyce (June 2, 2010) #MLB #Baseball #History When robot umps and Skynet are united, I'm going to send one Terminator style into the past and fix this game.
  6. Seems to me that the owners would rather not have a season at all, then have a season without ticket sales.
  7. One of MLB's original suggestions was a season that was played in ST facilities that went into December.
  8. 1. KC Royals ownership is going to pay all MiLBers through the end of the season. 2. Nationals ownership is cutting their pay, so Nationals MLB players are going to make the MiLBers whole.
  9. It's looking less likely that it'll be ready that quickly since they are now in a standoff. They'll still need about 3-4 weeks of modified ST. Need to figure out schedules and figure out if any players are going to sit out. Seems like an 81 game season may be pushing it. I'd be fine with a 60 game regular season and an extended playoff schedule where teams that didn't make the playoffs still have a few weeks to play against each other.
  10. Anyone who listens to Felgie is a mystery to me. That show blows.
  11. I thought he was the Curly Haired Boyfriend?
  12. Will you be telling people to stop who say the players should just keep quiet?
  13. Yup, cutting salaries and using Manfred as a mouthpiece is keeping quiet. Sure.... You’re just not listening.
  14. Sox cut pay to all employees making over 50k. Damn those players making the billionaire owners do that!!!!
  15. Pitchers : Matthew Gorst (RHP), Alex Demchak (LHP), Dylan Thompson (RHP), Robbie Baker (RHP), Chris Machamer (RHP), Connor Berry (RHP), Eddie Jimenez (RHP), Kelvin Sanchez (LHP), Zach Schneider (RHP), and Mason Duke (RHP) Catchers: Joe DeCarlo, Samuel Miranda, and Breiner Licona Infielders: Nick Lovullo, Juremi Profar, Korby Batesole, Andre Colon, and Nilo Rijo Outfielders: Edgar Corcino, Keith Curcio, Trenton Kemp, and Marino Campana Don't worry, all the multimillionaires listed here can handle it!
  16. @byJulianMack Red Sox release 22 minor league players Consider this to be a statement from the owners.
  17. I'm holding out for the umbrella and the VHS box set.
  18. The employees don't need to share a loss when the owners don't give the employees profit sharing when there is a surplus.
  19. IDK, but it seems like you are spending more time criticizing the players than the owners.
  20. "As I'm reading this, all I can hear is waaaaa, waaaaa, waaaaa!"
  21. The ones complaining are standing up for those who don't have a voice. If I was a minimum salary guy, I'd be very reluctant to stand up right now and rock the boat. The players who make more money have the ability to do so. Why is David Price reaching into his pocket to pay MiLB guys? Why not the owners?
  22. "There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play basketball." - Norman Dale, Hoosiers
  23. And yet you're siding with the owners who are whining that they are not going to make enough money this year. The owners who are contracting MiLB. I believe the players care far more about "the game" and its future than the owners do.
  24. The vast majority of players don't make millions of dollars. The average MLB career is 1.5 years.
